mary, I hate to be nitpicky, but nowhere in my post did I quote TS Eliot. I made only passing reference to his literary work. I DID quote Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, and Refused. Eliot however, I did not.

Taylor - I hate to be nitpicky (well I don't about poetry)...but you misquoted T.S. Eliot. It's actually:
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper. (The Hollow Men, 1925).
Sorry.
At any rate, I much prefer this quotation for "Little Gidding":
We shall not cease from exploration
And at the end of all our exploring
We shall arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. ("Little Gidding", Four Quartets)

-For some people 220 horsepower is definitly not whopping. For point of reference the DC5R (RSX type R for you and me) produces 220 HP with a dinky 2 liter engine (Not to diss you but hanging around with that Camaro guy makes you think anything under 300 HP is weak). As far as Supra go everyone seem reluctant to sell them. Well all the people I know who have one. Main thing is that they don't make them no more.
-Alison we will all die someday. Thats how you know you are alive. We only get this one chance at life. We don't know what will happen to us when we move on and that's why we have to live for now and to the best of our abilities. I won't die on you anytime soon but one day you have to let me go.

I'm considering buying an 86 mk II Supra with a JDM turbocharged engine which would provide it with a whopping 220 horsepower. Maaaan, that would be awesome. Hopefully Clarky and I can take a look at it on Friday.
If anybody hears of someone selling a mk II (very important that it's mk II) Supra, send me the deets. I really want to buy one.

do you think I'll get paid to draw pictures all day?
It's looking like it might turn out that way.
But the real question is... how much?
If ever I needed some luck, now is the time.

Alison, to refer to TS Elliot; it is better to go out with a bang than a whimper.
To quote Kurt Cobain's suicide note which in turn was quoted from Neil Young: "it's better to burn out than to fade away"
But to quote Refused: "I'd rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in".
With that being said however, I have no intentions of ever dying anyhow.
