Thanks for your comment on my site. I like you. Isn’t it cool how the internet can bring us closer to total strangers who are kindred spirits.
Begun, the great internet edactuion has.
Thanks, Anna – yes, it’s all amazing and all good. Keep your chin up.
Hi there,
Thanks for your help with my ebay question. I tried to open a dispute on ebay but it appears that I have to go through paypal since that’s how I paid. Nothing more I can do but wait.
Thanks again!
I like leisurely meanders….but you should add more 😉
About myself, you mean? Well, you know, if you read through this stuff you will find me there somewhere. But we are rarely who we say we are anyway, don’t you think? 🙂
Having followed with interest your beautifully written posts, especially those about your early days, I hope that these are exemplars or sketches for a book – whether autobiography or novel hardly matters – that you will eventually write. (Maybe you have already started it.)
There is a precision and poetic liveliness about your writing that deserves to find a wider readership.
Regards,
SilverTiger
Thanks, SilverTiger – it has been at the back of my mind to capture some of this stuff in short form just to see if it has any “legs.” I’m not sure if I am exorcising my youth so as to concentrate on other stuff or garnering it for some greater elaboration – time will tell. But I very much apprecitare your comments and those of others who have somehow been touched by the pieces. Oh, and have a great new year!
I’m really impressed with your writing. I haven’t been able to read much, but there’s definitely stuff worth reading.
Thank you for dropping by and leaving comments. I see you and I agree with having the “illusion”. We could live with the person for a really long time and still there will be parts we dont know about the person. I think it holds for the way we see life too, we live within the illusions we create.
thanks for the comment. yes you are right most things you don’t miss even after they are gone unless they are people and memories!
thanks for the comment. thanks for the tip on writing! I’ll be sure to send you my draft…when i have it ready!
Lovely, lovely work. Thanks so much.

Been a while….
Hello Oscarandre,
I write an artistic blog, and I have profoundly fallen in love with your writing. Without any other way to contact you, I’ll do it here. I was hoping that I could repost some of your material on my blog; please contact me on mpheak@gmail.com.
Oscarandre,
Haven’t seen you post anything in a while, hope all is well, let me know you’re still breathing.
Hey there, can I use your snapshot of Denver for a website I’m making? It’s at Denveronfire247.com, and I think your picture is a perfect shot of Denver on fire!!!
There is a photo of the Denver skyline at https://oscarandre.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/denver_skyline2.jpg that I would like to use on a poster (for a scientific conference), but I don’t want to use it unless I have the copyright status and permission if required.
Will someone who knows about this photo please contact me at the email above by June 18, 2010?
Thank you.
