Ah, comes now the great insulter, plying the skill he hones on those long walks with Devi. But always, I come to the same question. I mean, with your great intellect, here you are, day after day, stuck on a cubicle farm, thinking about how lonely you are and how you might be able to score a date. Of course, I was rooting for you on this last go around. But I knew it was a lost cause, when after ten minutes you started in with the Ravi Guru routine and told her how she wasting her time on meditation. Did you notice how things changed at that point? I didn't think so, you were so busy talking. Talk, talk. Talk, talk, talk. Nithyananda this, Nithydananday that, Satnam Sing this, Satnam Sing that. Did you notice her eyes gloss over? Did you notice her foot tapping nervously, and her frozen smile, broken only by an forced laugh at your awkward attempt at humor? Oops, suddenly she got that text message and had to leave. Hang in there Rav. Until you get a life, you can keep working the insult angle. You need something to keep busy. (-:

Anyway it's good to finally see someone after 3 years, threatening to usurp your position - I am loving it. I'm still rooting for you though, but remember MJ's from South Carolina - he's got the history, culture, genes on his side, so you need to be on the top of your game, tighten it up a bit, take it up a notch, insert any other favorite cliche of yours here. > > And yes, in case you were wondering, I do "love ya like brother". > > On Mar 19, 2013, at 12:39 PM, "seventhray27" steve.sundur@... wrote: > > > Michael, my friend, I am afraid you are losing it.

Time to grow up, MJ. I watched it. She is not "oozing sympathy." There's nothing wrong with what she says. She's pursuing the story, that's all.
