Eminem's new video Shut up until you see and then you'll know why I put up a link to it.

Thanks to friends for editing help. And for the few kind letters I got this morning. It's cool, I've just accepted that October is a time I need to be around friends a little more than the rest of the year...

It's funny about email and the written word. For the longest time I really thought that emails were good for me to write, because I was able to communicate myself very clearly and directly, and I thought that I was also able to eliminate my sense of harshness from the words, and the attitude. Since I often am too blunt and direct for my own good, I saw this as a good thing. But what really happens a lot of the time is that when people are left to make the judgement call on their own about the tone of the words, they interpret the words not based solely on the words themselves. The words filter through other factors: the reader's mood, their interpretation of the writer, their prejudgements about the situation, and other factors. It's taken me a long time to learn this... I now know that with some people I can write emails and be just fine, but with other people, and with sensitive issues, nothing beats a face-to-face.

Anyone know what happened to Mike DeLoSantos?
