Bah. I was hoping this'd get off the ground before then. Do you really think we're just waiting for 9/9/09 to roll around before anything really good happens? I'm not that patient!

I totally agree!

Also, for what it's worth, Uno has stopped replying to my emails. Sad

He sent me a DM on Twitter about how I was a friend and could be trusted. Still, there seems to be a pacing problem here.

I feel chastised by Hallucinine's recent tweet:

Those with no patience can never hope to change the future.

Hoo boy.

Based on some of the stuff I saw people post on his facebook page I kinda don't blame him.

I know, right? There's some pretty boneheaded stuff happening over there.

He just DM'ed me and sent me private message on FB in response to something else I sent asking about the 9's barcode thing. He promises more information is coming soon. He says, to that end, "I'm going to present some pieces to see if we can make heads or tales of this information. They tell me it's important."

So there you have it.

From hallucinine's patience tweet, I replied with:

Quote:

"Our patience will achieve more than our force." -Edmund Burke

To which he/she said:

Quote:

@spionchen Very, very correct. Too bad it is not in human nature to default to patience before force. How much else has force lost us?

Couldn't think of a reply to that.

status update...

So a little background... I'm moving on Saturday (like, into a new apartment.) and my parents just left from helping me pack. I put my status update as:

"alone in an apartment full of boxes. there's an echo."

... seriously... there really is an echo in here. it's creepy.

even creepier... Uno replied back...

"Alon9 in an 9mpty storag9 unit, th9r9 is th9 97ho of my br9athing, my h9art b9ating, an8 my min8 r99ling from 89f9at."

Uno's latest Facebook status update:

Quote:

Uno Hallucinine is th9 L9viathan within. If I stop f99ding it, it di9s. It has grown too big r9c9ntly, d9vouring ang9r and living off of s9lf. Oft9n in what s99m th9 most trivial words of madm9n th9r9 is, if only a small pi9c9, truth... or som9thing to b9 us9d lat9r. This is r9-9mphasis. This is r9s9t. This is r9aching for 9mpathy, for sympathy, drowning out th9 symphony of mocking voic9s, th9 chorus of my own doubt.

Looks as though 9=e (which we've seen before). The "translated" message reads:

Quote:

Double check that if you want, but I think I got it.

Mike (sorry, not sure what your name is on here) replied, asking what the voices say. Here's where it gets interesting... In Uno's reply, not only does 9=e, but 8=d. I have a feeling that will come in handy later.

Quote:

I 8on't n998 to t9ll you. You'v9 watch98 first han8 what som9 of th9m say. Th9 causticn9ss of all that which is human is 9nough for m9 to think that p9rhaps th9 gasolin9 an8 th9 match hav9 th9ir plac9 an8 that p9rhaps I shoul8 l9t th9 virus 8o its bi88ing. Why shoul8 I hav9 thought it woul8 b9 any 8iff9r9nt wh9n my wor8s saw th9 light of 8ay. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing wh9n I was a chil8. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing at 9v9ry job I 9v9r ha8 an8 was fir98 from for b9ing how I am. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing wh9n Cassan8ra cast 8oubt on th9 inspiration b9hin8 my visions. Th9 voic9s ar9 saying th9 sam9 thing now. I say l9t th9m look back at th9ir burning city. L9t th9m b9com9 salt. L9t rust an8 moths consum9 9v9rything that th9y h9l8 89ar, all thos9 fl99ting, 9mpty things.

And again, "translated":

Quote:

I don't need to tell you. You've watched first hand what some of them say. The causticness of all that which is human is enough for me to think that perhaps the gasoline and the match have their place and that perhaps i should let the virus do its bidding. Why should I have thought it would be any different when my words saw the light of day. The voices sad the save thing when I was a child. The voices said the same thing at every job I ever had and was fired from for being how I am. The voices said the same thing when Cassandra cast doubt on the inspiration behind my visions. The voices are saying the same thing now. I say let them look back at their burning city. Let them become salt. Let rust and moths consume everything that they held dear, all those fleeting, empty things.

Yikes. Also, earlier, I had commented on his wall checking in to see if he was okay, and got this reply from him:

Quote:

"The emails from people telling me to "hurry the fuck up" don't help. I am dealing with the loss of Cassandra, and trying to make sense of my own words on these pages so that we can find the message within. They have told me that it contains something relevant. But the distractions are many."

Phew. Sorry for the long, long, long post... Also, his comment on my message to him has since been removed. Not sure why. Maybe he's mad at me about something.

Anyway, based on what he said to me about the pressure from everyone, and from his "patience" tweets, I'm thinking it's time to back off.

Also, I know I'm a newbie and all, but based on some of what I'm seeing on the Facebook page, I feel like it's necessary to remind everyone that THIS IS NOT A GAME, remember? Within this realm, Uno is a real guy who needs our help. Treat him with sensitivity and kindness.

Wow, I hate to double post after ALL that I wrote up there, but he also replied to my email when I asked how he was:

Quote:

I am living in a storage unit. I walk to the local coffee house and steal
wireless. I touch base when I can. I am gathering my thoughts. I am
transcribing many of the messages I have received so that I can begin
sharing them when the door opens in the sky.

Yet people send me hateful messages. Some of them swear at me. I fail to
move fast enough for their liking.

I am about to pour out a lifetime of what Cassandra called my sickness,
and all I am told is that it doesn't come quickly enough.

The gasoline and the match look better every day.

The actions of my fellow humans make me realize that I should just let
this message go unheard.

Be nice to Uno, everyone. He's going through a rough time. Sad

Wow... looks correct to me. So we've got Uno turning more and more to numbers instead of letters... if letters and numbers are a psychic thermometer of hate and complacency, does his use of more letters mean he's feeling more hateful and complacent? Or less? Based on how stressed out and pressured he seems, I'm guessing the increase of numbers means the hate/complacency/wasted days "reading" is going up for him.

What to do, what to do?

Oh, also, he wrote on my Facebook wall that I am "a small piece of peace in a world of war", or something close to that. Awh. I guess he's not mad at me after all, hahah.

i have two point to make in this post firstly, i FB'd Hal and the question was :

Quote:

i noticed that earlier you said another great babylon is to fall, a quote i read somewhere was that america was a babylon so can i ask, is this babylon america do you think?

Hals responce:

Quote:

I think that is entirely possible, and very likely.

now with his pictures and posts and stuff, it is definatly destructive.

Secondly, with hals post:

Quote:

Uno Hallucinine is the Leviathan within. If I stop feeding it, it dies. It has grown too big recently, devouring anger and living off of self. Often in what seem the most trivial words of madmen there is, if only a small piece, truth... or something to be used later. This is re-emphasis. This is reset. This is reaching for empathy, for sympathy, drowning out the symphony of mocking voices, the chorus of my own doubt.

I don't need to tell you. You've watched first hand what some of them say. The causticness of all that which is human is enough for me to think that perhaps the gasoline and the match have their place and that perhaps i should let the virus do its bidding. Why should I have thought it would be any different when my words saw the light of day. The voices sad the save thing when I was a child. The voices said the same thing at every job I ever had and was fired from for being how I am. The voices said the same thing when Cassandra cast doubt on the inspiration behind my visions. The voices are saying the same thing now. I say let them look back at their burning city. Let them become salt. Let rust and moths consume everything that they held dear, all those fleeting, empty things.

This is more bible referenceing, the leviathan i cant remember where ive seen that but the second part refering to salt makes me think of when in genesis, i think it was when lot was fleeing with his family and lead by abraham and God said, if anyone looks back they shall be turned into a pillar of salt and so i think it was sarah who turned back to look s they fled and she became a pillar of salt.

if this is incorrect im sorry could someone correct it but may be it has some reference to hal and his visions?

sorry for the long post,
~C~
