Why such a break?
It hasn't been since October since the last issue of this
newspaper. Why? Because I've been incredibly busy, with work, with my new
(and improved) girlfreind, and all of that fun stuff. No one showed any
life out there either. Maybe no one really does read this. But I doubt
it's my imigination, because I see people downloading it every so often.
I remind people in every issue, and hopefully they will soon respond to
the newspaper. My number and address is at the end of this newsletter,
please give me any advice, or write-ins that could be put in this
newsletter, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your thoughts
with us. If you'd like to state your opinion on an article, or you have
something to say, that you think other people should know. Feel free to
write me a letter, either by U.S. Mail, or you can contact me (As
Firefly...or Nick Zinos) on the following BBS's: Nightlife, Troppus,
Last Resort, or Shadowfax. I check up on these BBS's often, so write me
your article and I'll put it in here. Well enough of my begging, let's
get on with the paper.
Sincerly,
Nick Zinos

Electronic |||||||||| Literature
Recently I've taking an intrest in writing, and I decided to
set aside a part of this letter to insert some of my own stuff, as well
as others, which I enjoy. If you have a short story, or poem, that you'd
like put in here, feel free to give me it, and I'll transfer it into the
next paper.

I lay upon the soft wet sand
As I inhale in my lungs the warm thick air
The reflection of the silver moon
Gets broken by the braking waves
The seagulls cry
In the dark lit sky
The water splashes
As the lightning flashes
A drop of water hits my mouth
Another one drops from the sky
As I lie-
On the soft wet sand

I start as a puppet on all 5 of my strings
A healthy, sturdy, marienette that is energetic
Slowly my first string gets cut
I am down to four strings
I can still walk, I can react
Although I don't always do exactly what I want
Then my 4th string gets sliced
I have only 3 strings left
At times I can get up as I did before
Usually it is hard for me to stand straight
Taking advantege of my weakend condition
The 3rd string breaks
2 are left
My legs fall to the ground
I feel as if I'd disentigrate if I made one wrong move
And I did
The 2nd string snapped
I am here, dangling from one string
I have no energy left
I have no emotion, no willpower
My pride is gone, my love has been crushed
I would do anything for my strings back
Not intil now have I realized how important they were
If only I acted different
Although I cannot change it now
And when I am most vulnerable
My last and final string of life
Goes up in a flame
Antonio Miniachi

Teenage Sex
I go to High School. These days the hot topic is sex. Sure, it's
always been big, but I mean hot! It is right up there with sports,
money, and how much you hate your 4th hour teacher. Within the past 10
years, people are begining to speak much more openly about it then the
ever have. 50% of the kids in school carry condemns with them, yes even
the girls. Of course only about 10% of them actually use it. I myself,
have found me taking much more openly about then I ever dreamed I would
with other people. In school now it's a requirement to take Health
class, which includes Sex Ed, etc.. I think it's fabulous how they
inform everyone about sex. Personally if you have a problem discussing
sex with other people, you have a serious problem. Nobody gains from
iggnornce. I think that if you didn't teach people how important birth
control, and precautions before sex are, people would get into a lot
more problems. If you say teaching kids about sex will only influence
them to do it more, I think that's a bunch of bullshit. They even hand
out free condemns at the nurses office, for anyone to get one if they
wish. Of course, I go to an inner-city school, so it may be different at
other places. But I think you parents shouldn't EVER try to hide any
fact about sex with your kids, it will get them confused. Hell, I
probably learned more about sex at my age, then you did all the way up,
out of college. I had my first sex education class at age 11. I don't
think there is ever any way to solve the problem, 3 of my good freinds
are pregent, at ages 14, 15, and 17. So I know what I'm talking about.
You can't forget about it, so explian it.
