Hello ILP… I’m back! 
Someone fill me in… gimme the dirt on the new faces around here… tell me bout the hot topics and philosophical ass whoopings that have taken place… catch me up!
Great to see you!
Is all well?
Tab and myself had a good Debate in the Chamber. He’s in the midst of one with Tentative right now.
Hey, boss! I wondered where you went. I just assumed that the rewards of iron-fisted supervision had made ILP irrelevent. Your sweetheart Arcturus is no longer with us. She;s been replaced with someone named windy.
Debates you say! That merits a look…
and as for why I havn’t been around so much it’s because I’ve been getting myself a divorce… I’ve cried, laughed, mourned the loss, and celebrated my return to single life… allot…
Now that I’m back to my old self… I thought I’d grace you all with my presence once more. 
Work is good… still enjoying my raign of terror, coercion and opression in the workplace… and it works, let me tell ya… unfortunatly… my boss agrees… 
Sad about Arc… I’ll miss her adoration… my being married broke her heart, you know… and now that I’m single… she is no more… tragic or ironic? I say both!
Divorce? Damn. What? You didn’t bring home a dose from one of those japanese hookers, did you? 
Check out this girl Windy. The word is she’s a hottie. 
Hey MMP.
MMP! Good to see you back! Really sorry to hear about your divorce, though, it always seemed like you were one of the few who had a good thing. But it sounds like you’re recovering nicely, and back to your old, humble-pie self. 
Anita!
“sorry to hear about your divorce” oh please… the only thing you’re sorry about is the vast distence between us
But thanks all the same 
How have you been? I mean aside from missing me fiercely…
Let’s face it, there is no “aside from” that - without you, life’s just been a very long, very empty existence; how I’ve made it through, I do not know. Luckily, JT still talks to me once in a blue moon, so I’m not completely alone.
You still involved in that secret, if-I-tell-you-I’ll-have-to-kill-you, career? Taking care of yourself health-wise? Making music?
Windy is on her way out, tent. I’m just not much feeling her anymore. There’s another in the wings but perhaps arc will return - but descending.
You don’t have to compliment me…didn’t I say that I would take that walk under the moon with you? You only think that I’m hot because now I have the power within me to create laser beams with my eyes and brain. They are quite a beautiful light show though I wish they would leave town.
You know… this may just be due to my infalted ego… but I almost believed that.
It’s not all that bad… I might only have to put you in a coma for a few years. :-"
Actually I went a little nuts with the fitness stuff after the divorce… getting ready for single life, maybe… not sure why, really.
So… yeah… i’m in the best shape of my life, baby
I still play and write a little… but it’s been a good long time since I played with the guys… we’re all getting a little too busy 
Maybe if you go easy on the scooby snaks, windy… the lights will go away 
Mad Man P
…but…but…but…I haven’t had a Reese’s peanut butter cup in weeks!
The thought occurred to me that perhaps they are there for a reason. 
Well, duh, of course, they are but that’s not what I mean). Perhaps since everything appears to be in perfect order and alignment, maybe I am meant to ‘look’ at them from another angle - perhaps they are some hidden message from the Universe to teach me, to show me something that’s necessary for my journey at the moment. Don’t laugh or scoff, you Mad Man…we don’t know everything! Remember what Hamlet said to Horatio - that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy. But I plan to sit in the darkness and contemplate those lights within the imagination of my mind and see what speaks to me. And no, I do not believe in fairies - or UFOs except perhaps for the government ones which we may not know about
So glad to have you back, Mad Man. 
Take it easy.
