Would it be okay to call the casting director and ask when they plan to make the final decision? I don't think I can wait any longer without going insane.

I mean, if I don't get it that's okay, but I need to know one way or the other so I can look for other work.

"See You Later..."



Cursing, angrily letting go off my fiercely rage
Directing the thunderstorm in a surrealistic image
Hoping for an apocalyptic world-wide damage
Imagining buildings by force of tsunamis or colliding asteroids destroyed

I’m surprised and terrified of my own death-bringing power

Angrily I direct my revengeful force towards the tower
Flames shake themselves, dancing in an aura of light, setting ablaze a torid fire
Inside, I cry out madly for revenge, in emptiness I cry out for an absurd, lonely desire
I’m all shrouded in the cloak of hate, in my revenge I’ll schedule you all to arrive too late

I won’t just slip quietly, anonymously through the gate

Slaying memories, cutting deep into their heart, murdering them not in cold blood
But in maddening, raging, destructive fury, not at all hiding that I am glad
In my revengeful wrath I want everybody to feel so much more than sad
I punish them by my absence, I am torn by a strong rage, I am not mad

I was born that year so I don't remember it, but I would like to hear first hand accounts from people who remember that year. What were the current events you remember, what were the styles and fads?, how old were you then?

Televangelist Jerry Falwell labeled the Prophet Muhammad a "terrorist." The Rev. Franklin Graham, who offered the invocation at President Bush's inauguration, has repeatedly disparaged Islam, calling it "a very evil and wicked religion." He has frequently called for Muslims to be held responsible for what happened September 11.

Another minister, Jerry Vines of Jacksonville, Fla., called Muhammad a "demon-possessed pedophile" during a speech to pastors prior to the annual Southern Baptist Convention. It is a shame how these so-called religious figures claim to have knowledge yet slander someone who the Muslims believe the last and the holiest Prophet, Muhammad.

Being Muslim, I would like tell the people everywhere - including those blinded by the media - that Islam is seriously misunderstood. After September 11, many Muslims worldwide were forced to endure racist remarks. A 19 year old Iranian girl currently enrolled at the University of South Alabama also works as a server at a midtown restaurant. When asked about customers' reactions after September 11, she said she had to tolerate very harsh remarks and was confronted many times with rude questions about her religion. She said there have been numerous times when she was asked, "What are you doing in the United States? You don't belong here!" Furthermore, she claims to have been deliberately put in very uncomfortable situations by co-workers commenting on her accent, religion and culture.

Another Muslim student was harassed outside Bishop State Community College because she had on a hijab, a headscarf worn by Muslim women. She said she was literally terrorized by a couple of students asking her personal questions and being insolent with her in front of a crowd. She was so intimidated that she refused to reveal her name for this article. This proves that one of the most important principles of the people of the United States, equality of all races and cultures, has been denied certain members of the community.

The Arabic "Islam" literally means complete submission only to the will of God. It is derived from the word silm meaning peace--both inner and outer. A Muslim therefore, is not only one who submits, but also one who is at peace, seeks peace, and promotes peace.

Islam is not terrorism. It is compassion. Islam is not oppression; it is justice. It does not disregard human life; it is humanity. Islam is not a cult nor is it a fad; it is a faith, a brotherhood with a following of one billion. Islam is not Arab; it is cosmopolitan. It is not Louis Farrakhan. It is not Saddam Hussein. Islam is dignity. It is goodness.

Ever since September 11, we have been bombarded with generalizations as to the peaceful nature of Islam. "Islam is traditionally a religion of tolerance." "Our enemy is fanaticism, not Islam." It is not surprising such generalizations have confused a number of people about another "face" of Islam they have witnessed -- militancy. Muslims all over the world grieved the loss of so many innocent lives. We share the sorrow with all those who lost their family, their loved ones. It is also a loss of humanity, and we are equally distressed.

For a fuller understanding of how Islam sees itself, we should not only look at the Qur'an, which is the holy book of Muslims, but at other Islamic roots and sources as well. Let it be clearly stated, however, that it is wrong to say Muslims have always converted non-Muslims through the sword. In the United States, for example, there are two and three million converts to Islam, none converted by force. Whether all Muslims and non-Muslims are aware of it or not, Islam is not a religion in the same way religion is understood in the West.

One of the many misunderstandings that have arisen in the West, is the judging Islam by the conduct of a minority. By doing this, segments of Western society have deliberately played off the desperate actions of many Muslims, and have given it the name of Islam. Such behavior is clearly not objective and seeks to distort the reality of Islam

I've been asked to create a specific craft project for a small magazine published in NY. They have told me exactly what they want and I am to provide the item for a photo shoot along with written instructions. I have an idea of what to charge for the project but would like to know what freelance writers are charging for magazine work on a per word basis.

....the condition of being "crippled?" What actually is the point of this part of the tale, if any? Do you think it an essential part of the account or simply a superfluous appendage tagged on the ending like the donkey's tail?

It may sound like a stupid question, but why did we need to attack Japanese forces on Midway, Guadalcanal, Wake, and Iwo Jima--islands with few or no useful resources--before we sailed to Japan? Why not engage the Japanese fleet in the North Pacific?

Powers like:
flying, teleporting, controlling fire, moving objects with your mind, strength, reading thoughts, being flexible, invisiblity.. etc

Pretty much think of xmen movies, sky high, fanastic four, justice league when thinking of different powers.
Don't forget to explain "Why?"

I would like to have a teleport power, over long distances. I then would'nt need a car to get places. I would always be on time everywhere. Why not flying? I would'nt want to freeze in the middle of atlantic ocean, flying to Europe :)

We are called "Leather Addiction", and play hard rock/metal in Kalamazoo, MI. I was wondering if any of you needed the practice (or just wanted to do it for fun) of designing a cool logo for our band. Sorry, we can't pay you, but we'll be happy to include your name on our demo if we use your art for it, and on our website
Check out our myspace page, www.myspace.com/leatheraddiction

Thank you very much in advance and any help is greatly appreciated!

I've read "The Da Vinci Code", and I think it's great, but after reading "Digital Fortress" I started to think (even if DF is more more more interesting than TDVC) that Dan Brown's writings are umm.. quite similar.
What do you all think?
What do you think I should read (something interesting)?
Please give me some recommendations..
