Do you know the difference between a "Brilliant Uncirculated" coin and a "Proof"? I sure didn't until last week.
I'm not among the church goers anymore. I didn't really do anything wrong, we all just had different ways of looking at the world. I thought that life is ment to be lived in any fashion a person chooses. They beleive life is ment to be lived on a plan.

a disagreement is a disagreement until you involve religion.. then it's a holy war. I'm going to sum my experience in a very cryptic way. I experienced house wife holy war.

that's all i'm going to say about that unpleasent chapter in my life.

Right now? I'm staying with Rodger. Rodger is a flamboyantly gay coin collector originally from Minnisota, now living somewhere near Ottawa. I got to know him on a plane ride out to Ottawa. I said I was going to go see the peace tower and probably stay in a hostle. He said he'd meet me at the peace tower at 9am the next morning. We took a tour together since we were both traveling alone.
After a while we went to a bar and I ordered my favourite concoction: absinthe and pecans!

He offered me the spare bedroom for a week. I do the dishes, he does the poolboy. It's a nice situation.

I'll clarifiy something since someone sent me a note politly asking me what my sexual orientation was. I like to think of myself as non-sexual. I haven't felt heat in my loins for many years. I think it's partly because I suffer from certain mental illnesses which renders me incapable of naughty things.
When I did have natural urges I was a rare and caged bi sexual. Alas, now I can only see people.. not sacks of meat ready for the fucking. poor me, i'm sure i'm missing out.

This lack of sexual...ness is problimatic because my counterpart is the rest of humanity. No one goes without sexual thought. No one watches porn for the artistic value.

I end up rejected many who apporch me because many who approach me are in it for the sex. They chug the nasty beer to get the nasty words that they will say to me to do the nasty.

It's dishearting but it's life. And there's some people who you just have to learn to hurt in order to get by.

anyways, did you know that "Specimen" coins are struck twice to ensure a brilliant image? Now you do.
