You've received email via estrip.org
------------------------m(o_o)m---------------------------


hey, maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I understand I may come accross as unlikeable, however, I believe blogging is speaking about whats on my mind and I share alot and I like to blog alot, its very theraputic to me.
I find your site a good outlet for me and I find it easy. A friend told me about it. If at any point you would rather not have me on your site, I can understand.

All the best,
Kind Regards
Luka Magnotta big_grin

Hey Luka,
Glad you responded.

I just thought you were a robot and that made me angry. Well that and to be perfectly honest, the thought that you might have been a scientologist bot, which would be my personal antichrist.. I am sure they are not all bad, but I had a run in with a couple bad ones here in Buffalo.

Some of my nastier comments were just trying to get you to respond. I'll try and be nicer now that I know you are a real person.

I worked really hard to make estrip a totally non-commercial, local gathering-space. For about 6 years now we have remained kind of off the radar and a pretty small close knit community. My fear is that an influx of internet outsiders would ruin the small community vibe that the members go there for.

I guess once you start interacting with people they will probably like you a lot more. Its not like facebook or myspace where there are cliques and friend's lists, etc. Everyone is in one big group and they all pretty much read and comment on each others journal.

Who is your friend that suggested estrip. I am so curious?

I am going to post this so they everyone knows what's up.
Paul

I am going to be blunt about it - I fucking hate him and I am sick about hearing from everyone else how much they hate him. Seriously, I even got phone calls from four people about it.

He, the person or bot, represents the global part of internet I created estrip to get away from. He has nothing to do with our town, nothing he ever writes will, he is not related to anyone and I just realized his relation to scientology.

Why would anyone in his position bring their drama here other than to take advantage of the SEO.

Basically, I just want him gone and so do a lot of you as I have gotten a whole bunch of emails about it. I would prefer we just be open about it.

So I am torn on how to deal with it. He never responds and some of his text comes from other sources which makes me think he is just a robot. If that is the case I have no problem just deleting him at once.

Another part of me thinks he is a real person just trying to promote his disgusting commercial "internet brand." but in that case I think he would respond.

What do you guys think? I was thinking about just making a terms of service adjustment that requires a regular estrip member to sponsor out of towners. I mean imagine if a whole slew of lukabots decided to join.

The scientology thing is really just the last straw for me. When he first came on, I came across that same article he wrote for another site in 2007.

Like the tortoise, I have a thing for bright colors. At home depot, their book called "color designs for living" shows a room with the bright orange and green I love. I felt like having that scheme on the cover of such a book legitimizes it. So many people made fun of me when I chose those colors for the side parlor before we "toned it down" to Victorian gold and dark cocoa brown.

The Kenmore day fireworks were full of bright colors but my iphone 3g camera is shit, so you get this pic of the food. Its ironic that my old cell phone back in 2006 was able to take a video of them e:paul,32688

If you gave never checked out the Kennore day fireworks I suggest you go next year. They are by far the most exciting fireworks display I ever saw.

I want this ceramic drink container from target. It's like cookie jar, gone camping - but for drunks.

e:Matthew finally agreed on an orange room and on the 3rd floor is the green room so that makes a green room and an orange room. Check and check. He and e:Terry painted it all day and I continued to break concrete in the bathroom.

And finally, this man's body in this brightly colored yellow room is perfect in my opinion. Well I think it would look better with some chest hair but overall I really wish I looked like that. I obviously don't have the dedication or the genetics for it as everytime I get closer I quit. Link to his profile on dudesnudeslink
