HOLY FUCKING SHIT! She does kinda have a point, though.

4 album set available for $2000.00 and $1000.00 for one cd. This is how much music should be worth, if there is talent there. They are cheapening music and talent, by selling it like it is fried chicken at kfc.

but but but I thought that the Happy Mondays GOT their inspiration & talent from "Kentucky Fried Chicken"?

I am incredibly talented and undervalued, but my songs aren't so great. Buy them anyway!

I have some
unprofessional pictures of myself on my slide show.

I got off her site really quickly, afraid I might somehow click the wrong button and have to pay her a few grand.

Oh, by the way, I'm 5'11"! Take that, SUCKA! And I have GREAT eyes! And NO Formal training at all, except for classes taken after that in college.

Not only did I never go to Writeaversity, or whatever those fancy "writing schools" are called, I didn't even READ A BOOK for my first THREE OR FOUR YEARS! Buy my books! I'm all outsider and shit.

And my eyes are fantastic.

A review of Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette [2 out of 5 stars]

by Marissa Marchant

People are so used to hearing music that fits in a little box.
Commerialism is not fine art.
Low art sells to peasants world wide.
they sell music at greasy wing prices. the only culture they have is bacteria. NOt a joke.
I sell my music for one thousand dollars a album because I am fine art and the real thing.
I am not plain jane like all of these people.
I know the value of art.
I charge 25 thousand dollars to perform.
I write every style of music and sing every style of the high level. much higher then the biz.
I play a few instruments very very well.
I studied opera for years..and sing every style of music and write every style.

"PS - Marissa if you're out there, I'd love to get you over to my house to display your artistry. My front porch rail could use a little painting, or we could sit ya out in the garden with a guitar to keep the squirrels away from our peppers..."

celine has a pleasant voice.
She doesn't sing with power and beauty like I do. I am not plain jane.
like all the others.
I don't want a
record deal.
I know the value of art and fine art.
I write every style of music and sing every style of music.
well. and very well. play
several instruments.
Celine is not on my level.
but for those who think that art is valueless, they will go out and spend no money on
commerialism.
Celine is just as commerical as burger king and the same quality.

Hi, I am a genius.
a big one.
I am a one woman beatles on the next level. I think that 19 dollars is nothing for genius.
but if it isn't genius..it should be sold for 10 bucks. I sell my music for one hundred dollars. Do you value art??? People don't place a high value on art.
they buy over one hundred dollars a month on booze and cigarettes.
Don't people realize that artists who are extreme are worth money???
do people realize how much work goes into making and creating genius. I write everything..I am as high level as it gets and vocally as well..I am trying my endless original and strong material..and plays a few instruments.
I wasn't signed..because I am too interested in upping the level of quality...
I am higher level then anything they have had as a solo artist..because I endless strong songs in almost every genre,,and have unusual vocals and instrumentals..
but the higher the levels of talent..the more money it costs...the most time..the more investment..and the more refinement..
refinement and class is nowhere to be found in the entertainment field...
people who are brilliant scare people in this country.

Her only choice now is to dual-class as a fighter or cleric.

She looks a little bit like something Emma Samms would leave in her wake if she were running very very fast.

I'd like to donate one fart. You're welcome.

oh, no, watch out for them untalented people.

BEWARE OF INSANE ASYLUM ESCAPEES LIKE MARISSA MARCHANT... OMGWTF.. $1000 FOR A CD????
MARISSA MARCHANT IS A FRADULENT TWIT WITH NO TALENT AND A HOLIER-THAN-THOU ATTITUDE.. SHE POSTS ON OTHER BOARDS IN PRAISE OF HERSELF UNDER ASSUMED IDENTITIES. SHE IS THE SIRE OF A CORRUPTED CAPITALIST SYSTEM.

"Sire of a Corrupted Capitalist System" could work as a songtitle, but it's a bit wordy for a album name.

whaddaya think? I'm thinking, "Senior picture, 1989"

Can't we get her to post on ILx, or would it cost $500 a post for her to do so.

okay, show of hands. Who thinks she was a BIG kate bush/cocteau/4AD fan way back when?

Green is the colour of their jealous hints.

This is supposed to rhyme how?

Yuck!
Oh well, at least she's pretentious and hot, so she's alright!

sorry i'm being twee.

You're insane, Nickel. MM looks like she's just wandered dazedly away from a Lilith Fair explosion next-door to Glamor Shots; JBR doesn't.

that'd certainly make Pitchfork much more entertaining, and coherent...

they should just cut to the chase:

HAIL TO THE THIEF
Radiohead (Capitol)

So I have this band...

but: do you feel the same way about geir?

(xpost with prude who is basically saying the same thing)

(xpost again)

I love it when Ned goes all sage-like on us.

she is soo awesome. I've decided I'm not going to read any mail unless someone pays me to. So I guess it'll be a dark, cold & dry winter.

I found the jumper thread in horrible taste but what everyone else already said about this thread.

Also, having been around Geir for a LONG TIME I find it just a teensy bit offensive that people here continually label him as mentally ill or unstable because he doesn't agree with most people's taste in music. WTF? In no other circle BESIDES ILX would Geir seem overly weird at all.

a) he wasn't Norwegian
b) he hadn't made that iconic photo available
c) his name wasn't 'Geir Hongro'

I just clicked on the "add to shopping cart" and i got connected to paypal with a running total of $2500 ! Rip off merchant!

Yeah, clearly saying that 'London is barely British any more' is not racist, silly us.

Genius.

theres plenty logic in this plan if you can make it work,

I should see if she wants to come over here...

Back on her noticeboard just now..:

I was on a message bb
I heard the horrible comments. Not person said that Marissa has any special
there. I love the music industry. I hate marissa.

Summary: Website been going for 10 years, sold two cd's (and you know that's not bad for an online webpage), suddenly she seems to have lost it in a big way...

am i to guess that this has raised her profile considerably?

am i to guess that this is all good publicity in the long run?

am i to guess that if she sells just 6 copies of this cd she will net £30k?

remind me, who is the mentalist fool again? sounds like this woman understands business pretty well

He wasn't elected.

You're giving her way too much credit, Gareth, trying to find brilliance in babble.

I don

t appreciate your shit voice or any songs that you have. I read porno.

I touch myself during the day frequently. (dig the Creeley-esque line breaks.)

(or, my personal favorite) You sing like an amputee.

"DEAR MR SALMON BEEFSTICK,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REQUEST FOR A REVIEW COPY, HOWEVER I CANNOT GRANT YOUR REQUEST AT THIS TIME, SINCE YOU HAVE NOT BOUGHT A CD. AS YOU CAN SEE, A DISC IS ONLY $5000. ART IS UNDERAPPRECIATED IN THIS COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, AND..."

remind me, who is the mentalist fool again? sounds like this woman understands business pretty well

You could use the same argument about spammers and other "make money fast" scammers - all it takes is one or two gullible types to recoup their money. I'm sorry, that isnt business sense, its criminal.

Having said that, if she has never charged anyone and in 3 weeks time her CDs appear in shops or online at regular prices, I bet she makes a mint.

http://marissamarchant.com/corkboard/index.html

I m not a professional musician, I dont make money
from my music. I sell young living products. I have no talent. but I love essential oils and natural healing modalities. Thats what I do for a living.

Now all of a sudden shes not a pro and she has NO TALENT!

Dont tell me this is gonna turn into a huge marketing scam for some pyramid scheme Amyway thing ;)

Also on the contact link.

the words change but the song remains the same.

HEY NO TALENT

You didn't even have enough talent to fool me.
dummy. you have nothing buy porno and dum music to listen to .
You are getting in big trouble.

I think she means "Merry Christmas to one and all"

Props for her summing up of the new age lifestyle, though.

("Essential" oils should be condemned by the trading standards people. I've never used them and I don't feel my life is missing a key ingredient!)

(the last sentence brought to you by the Society of Desperate Stand-up Comics of Great Britain)

Me too. After all of the inflated self-confidence it was kind of sad to see her writing "I m not a professional musician, I dont make money from my music. I have no talent". But that may be because I'm a wuss.

i think norah jone's should take pity on her and they could do a duet together, perhaps about the role aromatic oils could play in a barter economy untainted by big business. come on norah, have a heart, at least by a little oil

For someone who doesn't want to talk about music anymore....

http://www.persil.co.uk/images/in/images2/ironing.jpg

Blimey. now she's got an imaginary boyfriend.

Why is it when I upped my prices to 1000 dollars I had 38 thousand hits in eight days. But you are not impressed with my talent, but only numbers. You are sick. Now the number are dwindling. You are obsessed with numbers not talent. You are only supporting semi professional at best.

http://marissamarchant.com/gigs.html

it's like reading a livejournal rant from a sophomore

The sad thing is, I downloaded a track and gave it a listen, and it wasnt too bad - sub-Tori Amos piano bashing with warbly vocals, at least in tune... I was thinking "well this is ok"... then suddenly she went of the register and started shrieking like an opera singer being chased by a large furry spider and WTF!?

Not that this is a good thing.

today's update:

Because of the conspiracy of anti talent and anti looks, I will be upping my price but I am not sure to what. It is astouding how ignorant people seem. I received hate mail from jealous people for days. But you don't feel bad about supporting ordinary looking people who have no talent. Or ordinary looking people who have little talent. If you have not noticed no one in the music industry is beautiful. No one has a gorgeous face, hardly anyone is tall. Porno is in, this is also anti talent and anti looks. Mandy Moore is tall like I am, but she is plain jane like all of them. Everyone is in denial. Everyone is only supporting people who have no talent and no looks. You are all in denial. You like only supporting people who look ordinary who have little talent...because the record industry has a problem with jealousy. No one is a genius and no one is extremely goodlooking. Definately not both. But both exists. You hate people who are gorgeous and talented. So why not up my price to what I am worth..so you hate people like myself even more.

[does anybody wanna start archiving this site?]

[the exact same as the above...until here:]No one has a gorgeous face, hardly anyone is tall. Mandy Moore is tall like I am, but she is plain jane like all of them. Ordinary looking. Everyone of them. Including the men. You think that I am conceited because I noticed a conspiracy against signing extremely beautiful people who have serious talent? You are in with the conspiracy of anti looks and anti talent. You will only support ordinary people because the record labels don't like tall, gorgeous and extremely gifted people. You don't either. You hate people that you are jealous of. You are not jealous of plain and ordinary people. so you feel better about giving them money.

so, she's persecuted cuz the labels don't like tall, gorgeous, and extreme gifted people.

Listen to the whole track. About 3:50 in, you hit paydirt.

dig it: she puts up an order form for music or donations for you to print off and send in("Please print this page using the "Print" command from your browser's File Menu."), but, of course, she lists absolutely no address or p.o. box to send it to.

To be fair, it does/did say she is in the process of setting up a PO box...

The enterainment industry doesn't deal with high quality musicians. I went to the post office in Framingham Mass today. I am going to have a P.O box by next week. I live in boston now. Thankyou, I believe that you will care about music deep down in your souls and help me out. Then I will sell them for like 100 dollars each. But you should mail it to, Marissa Marchant Morris. Please make the check out to Marissa Morris. Peace to you, Marissa Marchant

I will only be accepting money orders(no personal checks, no cashier checks). I don't deal with credit cards anymore, it is too dangerous for you to use pay pal. I will have to look into how to accept money from abroad. If I don't receive help from the public to fund my albums, I will have to work another job. Then I will up my price to 2500.oo because the public didn't help me, and because I would need to pay my bills, and people upload cds on the internet so people don't have to buy any. If people are generous, then my prices will go down.

Find another job?!?! FROM MUSIC?!?!? OH NOES!!!!!11111!

oh yeah, and listen to the track to drove our own Dan Perry to distraction.

but somebody has to buy the ONE that gets uploaded. and at $2500 a pop, cha-ching Marissa, CHA-Ching.

there ya go, that's why she charges so much. Up that shit, yo.

(The FBI is now going to help me stag the person who is hacking into my computer, took my bank account number, now has changed my password on my email account, I can't get in right now. But they can. If they are disguising themselves as me or Eres, please realize this person is sick and it is not me.)

I kick Tori Amos's behind. She does not have vocal quality on my level. She isn't as good a piano player. She doesn't write every style of music. I can and can sing everything. But Tori is non threatening to people. She is not a powerhouse talent but has alot of money.

You should make the check out to Marissa Morris., not Marissa Marchant. But you should mail it to, Marissa Marchant Morris. Peace to you, Marissa Marchant

oo...kayyy.

Unlike what people think,
I am not everyone on this corkboard, and I am not the only one who is
complimenting myself.

I am complimenting myself. I am a high level musician and worked up to
it.

Norah could play in a bar and a nice restaurant.

She is not a high level professionl, they are lying.

I almost feel bad for looking at this site so often. The woman seems to have serious problems of some kind, its like staring at a car crash. I can't help it though.

it's too bad, too, since the Mei track is pretty good. classical guitar, no vocal. pleasant. Not too stand-out, but nothing that'll have you running from the room screaming.

I will only be accepting money orders(no personal checks, no cashier checks).

it's like we're at some level that's beyond delusional.

"the word restaurant

I have been having trouble with this word for years.
Here I spelled it correctly, restaurant.

Posted by: mm"

!!!

This is quite embarassing

That emu track : It must be that they mixed the wrong piano track to the vocal. That was out of tune to 1/2 a semitone all the way through. It's a shame in a way as it's one of the best songs...

'part from that, theres some really good stuff there.

If you find the page with the song titles on her site, and edit the extention .mp3 back onto them, or (easier) look on mp3search, you can gety them all. Some cut off in the mid.., some are a bit crackly, and a couple are not as long as the filesize (Almeria is not 13 mins, but around four..)

Anyway, if you want to pick just one, try nevermind.mp3

http:\\marissamarchant.com/nevermind.mp3

Might do a longer review later...

You people wouldn't recognize true art if it landed a spaceship on your front lawn and tried to take over the world with a mind control ray. I am high level musician with high level talent. You people are media zombies. Enjoy your dunking donuts, reallity televison, and columbia house. The quality of talent for all music will increase and you will have me to thank.

Marissa

i give her, oh, about 2 weeks before she shows up here.

The last two things describe me almost exactly.

And the sentence before that sounds dictionally & syntactically like something a 90 year old Japanese-American would write.

I know she's seen this page.

But this attitude/problem is going to ruin things for her.

Anyhow, this being the best track and I got the link wrong...

I have this new song that I am working on
I just found a way to buy a piano. but I am going to have to work and My
music is very complex. most of songs do not song alike ..

I work hard on making my songs unusual.

right now, I am working on finding a isolation booth aka sound booth, and
working on paying payments and playing..

on a very high level.

the song is called, your days are gone....

the new one..anyway..

Life is difficult.. i am playing the guitar and writing some new things
that don't sound like my old stuff.

I received some nice letters and some not so nice letters..thx .

and I don't have time to monitor this bb.

if you pose as me, I guess you could do that all over the net..but who
cares..I have more things to think about..take care...love and
peace,,,merry christmas and happy holidays.

Funny, never took her to be a manc...

The music industry is a fraud. Especially right now. Music is being cheapen and musicians are being demeaned. I kick all of their behinds. There are much more talented people out there then this. I am receiving thousands of dollars to do recordings now. Send a money order or donation next week to my new P.O box. My cds are 1000 dollars each, The music industry, the only culture that they have is bacteria. People are lining up to go to dunkin donuts. People have no idea what quality is. Just because someone is famous, doesn't mean that it is quality. Mc.donolds is famous. People don't value quality. I sell my music at a high price because of my quality of talent., and hard work. Because they show disrespect to artists in the world right now, I am only performing for 50 thousand dollars. No joke. They are losing billions of dollars, selling untalented people. They have laid off thousands of people. The majors have no talent on their rosters. If they were "very" talented, they would be able to sell a billion copies world-wide. There are six billion people in the world. I whip them good.

Umm, very green eyes?

I think that we have a Country of CULTURALLY ILLITERATE PEOPLE. Our government does not place an emphasis on art and music in the school systems. They don't offer in depth programs for kids to learn about music at a young age. Our government doesn't fund talented people, like other countries. The country is in need of serious EAR training courses. They have no clue to what talent is and can't tell what great music is or isn't. At this point, from seeing how horrendous alot of these people are in the entertainment industry, I can tell that this country needs ear training. Not all of it is horrendous, but most of it is. And none of it is great. The studios are great, some of the production is great., but the talent isn't there, and our country doesn't care. The United States is not great country. This country doesn't support the arts and extremely talented people. This country is a very low profile country in the minds of cultured and educated countries. This country is filled with arrogant uneducated, cultural illiterates and Yahoos. Even Schools like Berkeley, Curtis and Julliard are not cranking out geniuses, they quit these schools for many reasons. I haven't been in a studio for years. But I am getting a full studio right now..read my corkboard at the end of the gig section. I was just starting out when I recorded these songs. I have TONS of songs. I am more prolific then the Beatles. Because I write alot of strong material and all styles. They were limited because they could not stretch their vocals...and couldn't stretch their writing abilities. They wrote alot of stupid music. And some of it was great. They weren't that consistant. They wrote alot of sappy material. You haven't heard the best, because you don't support talent. If you are so smart, listen to the end of "my rough demo Green Tea," and tell me if you have heard of someone who could do this? They haven't signed anyone that multi talented, because they are delusional people thinking they have signed geniuses. You assume that this is all I can do.

(To be fair, I get the impresion that she is getting on with things. What's a Kurtzweil, anybody?)

ORANGE ALERT! ORANGE ALERT!

meanwhile....

You can make you 50 thousand dollar check out Norma Morris who is taking care of my finances etc.. If you want to send a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a 40 thousand dollar debt. I have to pay off new equipment, so I can give you music and better recordings with backup etc... Petrof grand, monitors, sound booth etc If you send a generous donation, I will send you some demos and I will sign them.....

I don't own an electric, but these are rock tunes..they would sound silly
without electric or real drums..no one cares.

Do you really think we're naive enough to provide you with free content?

Intermittent Slob

dirt, dirt, more dirt, clean it with your spit and skirt

cotton balls, towels on walls... messiness alert

this intermittent slobby side has come to be my battle

when all is scrubbed and sweeky clean, come heards of bull and cattle

I've blamed the bulls, tornado, wolves, some nuclear explosion

but I know best, my inner quest, to conquer this in motion.

Trees Can Speak

Seabird, fish and flowers they wish, that we would go away.

Living here amongst our stench, insecticide and spray.

We may think our minds all knowing,

our powers quick and overflowing,

but trees can speak, majestic, meek and wisdom winds are blowing.

Risk It

to laugh is to risk appearing the fool

to weep is to risk appearing sentimental

to reach out to another, is to risk involvement

to express feelings is to risk exposing your true self

to place your ideas and dreams before the crowd, is to risk their loss

to live is to risk dying

to hope is to risk despair

to try is to risk failure

but risks must be taken;

because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing

the person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing

they may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply can not learn,

feel, change, grow, love, live...only the person who risks is free.

The Us and You

Sounds and thoughts of commerce, who's who.

Wired into the Us and You.

The Us are the ins and the power circle-

and You are the flesh to feed what's commercial.

Green is the face of dollars, no sense.

Green is the colour of their jealous hints.

The Us feels the passion, they'll hear Your cloud's din.

Restraining the You as they save their own kin.

They know that You're breathing in lamenting of cries..

Reminders of equity.. they will surely deny...

Say Your goodbyes.

Hmm...

The world needs more Kate Bush types.

She was asking about how to put a video up as a streaming download. Apparently, this one hour concert was on cable in NY a while ago. Any ideas? I'm sure a fair few here would be interested in seeing it...

Due to requests, the interview is back up. Along with some new tracks (the man with the low libido?)

i also put forth that she could do quite a ripping version of "Sally Cinnamon"

Hey Marissa,
I'm impressed.
Would you be interested in putting anything up on the Hut? Maybe a demo or something? Just interested in expanding the church of Marissa and all.
In any case, hope you're well.
By the way, here's some music for you.

You're welcome. Do you have any interest in possibly putting a song up on my site?
I would certainly understand if it's not what you're looking for, but I get well over a thousand visitors a day, so it might be helpful to spread you around.
I think that what you're doing is very interesting and even when you're coming at the music with your tongue firmly in cheek, it bears a listen.

Um, Marissa:
See, the thing is that you are seeking a broader audience of people to show your music to.
I can provide that audience.
This is why artists (of all stripes and levels of quality) attempt to gain radio airplay.
As I said previously, thousands of people a week read and download music from my site.
My interest was in providing you access to a new (and larger) listening public.
If this is not something you're interested in, that's fine.
You currently have DOZENS of songs up on your site; I could simply refer people there (and will) but one would assume that you might prefer to show something different if it were to be spotlit.
In any case. Let me know if this is interesting to you and if it is not, that's perfectly fine as well.
And I hope you're enjoying the music.
Any comments on the selections?

I understand this, but it is an audience of more people who like free music, and they don't care about the artist. maybe they will someday...o.k I will think it about it...thanks for writing...mm

Fair enough.
Do you mind if I reproduce this conversation (unedited of course) as a means of opening up anything I would write about you for the web?

hi, why not put "it's sun" up on your site...since I am putting the completed version soon on my site..you will have the demo version..I don't want to give you any other demos..because if I liked them, they would be on my site..I don't like everything that I have recorded..
I am redoing alot of my songs..thanks...
yes you can record what we are saying, just don't add words..but you will do what you want anyway,,,that is the nature of the net..mm

Okay, I'll post that track.
I'm gonna post these email messages over on a site that has been having a running conversation about you and your music and I'll post some info on you in the not too distant future.
Hope all is well with you.

marissa marchant to me

I am working on the master product of that song right now..that is just the rough demo of course...thankyou marissa

"the ear must be exposed and trained, without exposure and ear training,

public will lose its ability to tell want talent really is."

OMG I just figured it out: Melissa Marchant is NOWELL.

The interview.

http://columns.ultrasecretwebsite.com/Archive/Reviews/Music/marissa_marchant.html

ROCK.

Not to pick on a grammatical mistake, but how cool would a Merchant(TM) cover of ABBA be: "Yes sir, I can music, but I need a certain song. I can music, mucic, music, all night long"...

I take this back. I just listened to "Emu" again. Who said upthread that it makes him feel sick? Same here. It's so bad, it's disorienting.

theres more at the end of the thread.

i'll copy paste.

go on your site and tell people that I am telling that you are a fucking asshole user who tells they love free music and don't care about donating to poor artists or supporting the arts, tell the public that you are a fuck!
if you tell someone who is poor and who has two sick parents that you like their song, then why not support them, no holiday cheer? no heart...fuck off asshole...and tell the world I am telling you this, taker, user.

Subject: Your music is amazing

I just finished reading your interview at ultrasecretwebsite.com and that led me to listening to your music. The experience has opened my eyes in a way they have never been opened before. Also, they may be open a lot wider than usual. I am a rich person with a lot of money to throw around.

You see, at the age of 16 I was run over by a bulldozer and most of my legs were severed and later on I married a man who was rich who died and then I got all his money. Now I travel around the internet, loooking for places to send money to. I believe that you are a fantastic artist. You have surpassed my greatest expectations and transcended art and flit about in a realm I call uberart. It's like comparing three dimensions to four dimensions - you can do it but it costs a lot of money.

I am a regular visitor to http://ultrasecretwebsite.com and I am eternally grateful to them for making me not only aware of you, but also of other things.

Your fan,
Emily

Dear Marissa

Yes I am sorry to say I have no legs, but it's true what they say - when you lose a part of your body the rest of your body becomes more powerful than you could ever imagine. Still, that's small comfort since I can no longer dance which was always my dream. Although I can still dream about dancing, which I am thankful for although not as thankful as I would be if my legs suddenly reappeared!

In any case, my legs are gone and I usually don't dwell on them. I like to donate money - this much is true. But your recordings are so wonderful right now! I guess I want to know how much money you need to be happy. It's nearing the end of the fiscal year and I really need to get rid of some of the extra money I have or else it will all go toward taxes.

Do you need $1,000? $5,000? $10,000? More? I want to help uberartists but I am ashamed to say I don't fully understand your needs. Surely you need food and an adequate living space and also the instruments to express yourself creatively. But beyond that I am as lost as the proverbial child in the wilderness.

-Emily

not knowing how long I will be eating well.
but I am satified with my legs, and everyone has something they have lost...
some people have other kinds of traumas...but losing one's legs, must be very traumatic!
if you need the money for yourself, don't send anything.
if you think that someone who is more in need, needs your money, don't bother with me, but if you feel that what do makes you happy, then donate...
it could one dollar, it could a million....
donate what you want, even fifty cents...merry christmas...
peace, Marissa

Marissa thank you are too kind. Your music has definitely brightened up my Christmas. I guess that's worth 50 cents! I can always donate the rest to World Without Legs (WWL), an organization which has helped me through some tough times.

thankyou, I really appreciate it...you are doing the right thing by giving more money to people without legs...the world doesn't need artist or great musicians....they need legs more...
you are right....bye, merry merry Marissa

or!

will they give you your own primetime special and own choir if you do that?

That so doesn't apply here.

(I know, I'm replacing a lost posting, but I had to check the legs were still here)

We've enjoyed the vid clips (any chance of putting up a longer one? A whole song perhaps?)

Looking forward to hear yr recordings done with this.

Luckily, my partner found me in time and the paramedics were able to put me on life support until they could transform me into a fully functioning cyborg (half man / half machine). What's great is that I was able to go back to being a police officer and go after the people who turned me into this monstrosity.

One complaint though:
When recreating my sense of vision and wiring me for a friend/enemy status checker as well as a full dictionary of penal codes, they forgot to give me a standard video input. It would have been a perfect opportunity to expand my ability to actually ENJOY myself. It's like the scientists didn't care about me having a good time; they just wanted me to fight crime with heightened abilities and senses. Whatever. Thanks for nothing...they have no idea how sweet it would've been to watch the CAN dvd with direct audio and video ins.

I guess if you can't go out and be entertained and you are in a wheelchair..it is good...
but I prefer live performances...
or a prefer ...audio recordings in vinyl or cd format.
sometimes I don't like to see anyone playing..I just like to hear the music and image things in my head. I don't really need to see a person playing the music ...

I hope you are feeling better now

Risk It

to laugh is to risk appearing the fool
to weep is to risk appearing sentimental
to reach out to another, is to risk involvement
to express feelings is to risk exposing your true self
to place your ideas and dreams before the crowd, is to risk their loss
to live is to risk dying
to hope is to risk despair
to try is to risk failure
but risks must be taken;
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
the person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing
they may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply can not learn,
feel, change, grow, love, live...only the person who risks is free.

That Tatiana from American Idol reminds me of Marissa.
