the internet is a wonderful place.

like most folks who heard about RAW's predicament, I coughed up some dough to help him out.

like most folks who coughed up some dough to help him out, I read RAW's books in my later HS and early college years. to say that RAW had a profound influence on my life, as so many on the internet have said of their own experience, would be to understate the matter.

to provide only the simplest of examples: around my wrist I wear a five and a twenty three. those two humble numbers symbolize all that is right in my life. RAW gave me the five and RAW gave me the twenty three. For free. RAW opened my mind and my life to receive what was waiting for me (that is, the transmissions from Sirius). I couldn't have done it without him.

and likewise, without the internet -- and especially weblogs -- this amazing wonderful medium which even RAW, in his most grandiose visions, did not forsee, i would never have been provided the opportunity to reach out fnord and help a truly extraordinary human being who -- using centuries-old technology -- reached out and helped me when I was in need.
