   they say i might get cancer, but at least i'll know its *my* cancer and   
   it wasn't planted by anyone.

   i was thinking "Omar Hanreef" .. and the reason for the Jersey-Boy   
   comment is that back in the day.. i happened to notice Omar (or a   
   creature calling itself an Omar of some stripe) was posting with an   
   email addy originating from the same edu domain as my own.   
      
   this is a  largish Jersey uni (that'll be real hard to figure out huh?)   
   where the domains were broken up by campus and department.. so i   
   remember it basically because given his addy it seemed likely to me i   
   had met the guy at some point.. we definately existed in roughly the same   
   meatspace and likely had similar interests..   
      
   i never mentioned this because.. well .. i'd be freaked out if someone   
   told me that i might bump into myself at any moment.   
      
   seemed better not to worry him ; )   
      
   (FYI omar, the really big dude with the shaved head.  yeah, the loud one   
   who was chainsmoking .. thats me)

   thier not dissapearences.  the toxic garden blesses us all.  her   
   radiation is death for some, gifts for the rest.   
      
   Omar may simply be invisible.
