Revival of an Era!

Ok...I've been doing some thinking around here. Wow - how unusual!!! Not
really, though. I don't intend this e-mail to be all-philisophical 'n'
stuff, but moreless a short commentary on the state of affairs in the life
of Mr. ZA

As some of you may already know (while many of you really haven't noticed),
I haven't really been able to complete the Year 2000 review. While this may
seem very insignificant, there's a reason for it. I could probably finish
up 'July and August', but things really changed for me during the last few
months of the year...some good and some bad. Yay and BOO at the same time.
The 'End of an Era' e-mail back in late August was just a little 'sneak
peak' of what I expected to have happen over the next few months:
Absolutely nothing...or at least absolute uncertainty. As you all know,
nothing went 'terribly wrong', but there were a lot of things that cast a
huge shadow over me...that I'm still trying to repair. At the core of this
was my money problem...all my bills seemed to "pile up" at the same time,
and I'm finally now getting them paid off. Ok - enuff!!!!!

I think my main problem was that I was trying too hard. I was complicating
things like crazy, and creating my own problems. Grrr... But I'm
intelligent enough to realize that, and I'm currently in the process of
SIMPLIFICATION. What does that involve? Well, remember when things were
simple? I didn't have 8 computers down here to worry about breaking down,
and we enjoyed the simple things. Like the jukebox...and fun prizes! I
think we have already realized this. Maybe that's why we played hours upon
hours of UNO during xmas break :) And that was so cool. But last night,
Alex and I went back to our roots. What do I mean???

Can you say -- Magical Gathering?

Fun stuff. It was great going back to what we used to do 3 years ago. It
was a totally awesome experience that I hope to share with everyone else in
the near future. Oh well...hopefully I'll get to talk to everyone
personally about this matter. Or somethin' like that. I'm so excited, if
nothing else. It's like there's a revitalization of old ideas. Not
nostalgia that you can never re-live. We can STILL enjoy the things we used
to do only a couple years ago. I don't expect to make any more flicks of me
walking around with a green sleeping bag over my head, but you never know :)
So in all reality, this will truly be a REVIVAL OF AN ERA!

-Mr. ZA
