thanks corey, :)
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

I made a chess set out of clay a while back. I think it came out well.

Notice that besides the different colors, I made the blue set round and the white set square.

Note: I didn't make the chess board.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Ooh - that does look nice. :) I haven't played chess in a long time, and for some reason the Chess IMvironment on my Yahoo Messenger doesn't work.

I was planning on it. I'm not sure how yet. I was thinking about just buying a big chuck of wood and carve the lines out, you know, so that they are engraved and paint the squares blue and white (to match the pieces)
