TOO MUCH TIME ALONE. hehe Exchange. Void Replacement Therapy. For quite some time, this theory of "energy exchange" intrigued. Continues to as well. Watching a nameless movie in which an only son is tragically ripped away from an aging couple, the theory became more interesting to me. The energy once poured into their son's life now hopelessly "flows" everywhere without productive direction. It's not that we need to replace our beloved when they pass... what I believe *is* important is invest some of this energy in memory, and re-invest in other activities and worthwhile causes. I believe they call this therapy. Everything makes so much sense when we think that these relationships we have in life are intentional "connections" exchanging "something". That "something" is energy... In this case the energy is charged emotion. It is up to us to decide which emotion will guide our outbound energy. *** now things that are completely unrelated *** What it's like.

It's popularity thru technological manipulation. I suspect, as others, that this could really assist Tamyra Gray's career more than actually winning the top-spot. Nikki comments: Nikki needs to pray to lose. Her fans will kill her PR. Let her lose, and she'll win in the end. She also needs a band, and some voice lessons. Justin comments: Your time has come and gone. Sorry. Kelly comments: I hope you win... not sure she is today's next "star" ... amazing voice, but if anything, people know she kicks ass.
