Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yearbook Page at MUM LIbrary
Calvin if he was the staffer. Not sure of the other. One of my friends Sara had a big family I heard. Older Bender girl married and helped me do that dinner thing. So many people really I would like to know about. I have done a search for everyone once but nobody has a web presence. I remember looking across Yajnavalkya Hall once and seing my huge class of weird people like me and feeling a love that almost killed me. The first two weeks I got to MIU were such a relief from North Hollywood that I couldn't stop laughing. In the 85 yearbook I look wierd because I had died my hair blonde and red for an airband show with Scott Puffer and Beth et all that old crowd, and the school made me die it black which with the lack of any suntan made me look sort of stark, and weirdly intelligent. I like that picture of me. I remember you well from back then Alex. Not that we knew each other. But Annapurna was a small village. You know, we had a Selassie related to Hailie my year. We had a big burly black guy my first year. From New Orleans. He was my first impression of this place, and given his character I had a natural liking for it here (NOLA). Partially leading to my move. I want to go on but I have this one lasting thought about my MIU experience and it is this - it was an historic experiment in trying to change the world for the better. The Berlin wall fell after "Taste of Utopia." There's no telling what a football stadium full of sidhas could do. I do believe that we could fly. It will take an American guru someday to make such a thing happen, after the mysticism of guruism is gone. We all who had the kundalini and we who worked and served the world we lit it. Someday it will spark and flare up. Of course I have been to other non-TM events like Kalachakra Toronto but as anyone who sat in the dome could tell you (during the heydays) there was some strong shakti. Not to slight HHDL or anything. It's called Merlot. - Original Message - From: "Alex Stanley" To: Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 4:43 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yearbook Page at MUM LIbrary > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Kirk" wrote: >> >> Who has died?

Not that anyone gives a shit about me. I always felt special being the only person from LA in my class. I guess I had some sort of teen messiah angst. That and a head full of bad acid trips.

We got a hardcover 84, a combined softcover 85-86, and no 87. My class stirred up some shit. But no surprise considering we thought we were a real college campus. I believe we literally drove some people crazy. Orsatti? I'm in the 85-86 yearbook in literature and the black girl on the same page was my first love. But by then we were broken up. MIU to me is still mainly her. And my sTHP stint. I guess studying literature was fun but not valuable. God, I loved my class. Especially first year. Then later I became friends with the year after me as for some reason I simply had no friends amongst my peers any more. Actually it's because I joined student THP for a years and a half so I guess I got desynchronized. I liked this couple Nynka and Eric, this red head Rhonda, and her boyfriend. He eventually became my best friend. I was a mean bastard for stealing her from him.But it was her choice so what could I do? She meant everything to me at the end there. My single favorite person at MIU was named Laura Smith. She had a brother Mike. She and I blew it by trying to have sex on top of our friendship. I'm willing to forgive and forget. She just always made me feel good. Too few people like that. When original THP and MD left in 86 all the great vibes left with them and never came back. We student THP didn't crank out the vibes, I found, so I stopped feeling like doing 2 hour programs. 87 was the second worst year of my life. Graduation, moved home for a year and did extra work, had to get away from LA again. Went to New Orleans. I'm surprised at the low turnout of alumni here.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yearbook Page at MUM LIbrary
God we had some fine girls. I could have killed myself. Some girls were my pals. Hate to say I was always a girl-friend. Except with my ,coffee girl. I made some mistakes I can never forget. Love is not all juicy and good times, except for the ones that we'll never forget of course. Who taught us. They chopped out some pics of those bogus yearbooks those cock suckers. Who is that Bevan or someone. I'm gonna chop the fuckers head off some day can't even make a .pdf. Not joking, I wanna see the pic of me and my girlfriend again.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yearbook Page at MUM LIbrary
Maybe it was 125 A they renovated, I left purusha so they had to get rid of me. I lived in the empty 125s for months and so I got used to blasting music in one room and hearing it in the shower. I guess when you guys came and decided it was was going to be a quiet pod I was like fuck that I already lived here for like four months by myself. As for playing loud, I never played at night, just between program times or evening. Lighten up. I still don't know who you are. But regardless. At the very end all my MIU friends were from Canada. One died, one was an ex girlfriend, it all came to a halt. Older girlfriend who knows what the fuck she ever did. So you jokers got me kicked out of the 125s huh? Then guess what? I was at 131a RM 14 in the pod and room very closest to the front door of the dome for the rests of my stay at MIU. Nanananannaa. And they were cool and never were fucking pussies who shaved their nads and played journey on 2,000 dollar stereos.

Dude, you've said the same shit before.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yearbook Page at MUM LIbrary
On the other hand, looking at those faces, I loved alot of those people. I remember sitting with my first year class thinking how unique we were. I would love my whole class until it hurt. I never told anyone at that time. I just loved them all. I was in love my first year ayt MIU. I was a class clown. I was always so sad at how fast everything changed. Some good people back then. Friends? Looking back, probably not. People I loved?

MUM guarantees that college and masters graduates that they'll find jobs at market rate? I didn't know such an arrangement existed in the US. That pretty much puts MUM in the status of a trade school or less, no? Now as far as getting a job. Do you mean to say that all these foreigners get jobs in the US? Please tell me it's not so.
