9. "I can see why you are on break".
?

I'm on break from caring too much. This is a sick society and it's hard to be an open, giving person for long stretches at a time. This capacity may be required if Bush and friends provide more antics.

26. Sometimes the news gets me down
Sometimes I like to vent, but other times I'd rather get away from it for a while. That's what I meant by a break. :hi:

13. Answers
1) I tried, but they said I couldn't sell my soul because I couldn't prove I had one

2) Windows 3.1. A real man only needs 16 bits.

3) Mid-seventies, cloudy, kinda humid. Got the fan in the window

4) Until just before I need adult diapers or my brain melts into a puddle. Considering future medical technololgy and my family history... maybe 110? Unless your eternal friend and mine Shrub manages to fuck up things even more.
