Years ago, decades actually, what really helped me get a job was volunteering. Maybe you could find a place to volunteer that involves the kind of work you're looking for. That way, you could have something to put on your resume or job application...

I find it incredibly frustrating when a thread disappears, especially when I've contributed to it. It seems that on this site there's nothing that the people who run it can do about it, but it always looks childish when someone deletes a thread t...

There is no way that I can tell to make it so people can't delete their own discussions. I can make it so only admin can *start* them, but that is all there is. The Ning network is limited and I am pretty much at their mercy at what is possible. T...

Yes, I write a political zine, of sorts. It's called Rambles to T(L)C, and it's for an APA (Amateur Press Association), and as such, is called an "apa-zine". Here's a link to Google's APA forum that might fill you in about what APA's are all about...

Profile Information

Snail Mail Junkie In Need of a Fix


Name: James N. Dawson

Address: P.O. Box 292, Malden, WA 99149

Age: Well past youth.

Affliction: POB mail junkie.

Religion: Theravada Buddhist. More traditional/literal than most western Theravadins. Follow and regard Buddhism AS A RELIGION. Many would find me "dogmatic" or "doctrinaire", but I'm not overbearing or preachy about it. More negligent lately in my Dhamma practices than I should be. Needn't discuss religion. Just "laying it on the table". Write infrequent and irregular publication: DHAMMA LETTERS "Letters, Fragments, Essays. Critically Orthodox, Theravada Buddhist Perspective".

Politics: Animal-Rights Libertarianism. See:

groups.yahoo.com/group/libertarians_for_animal_rights
groups.yahoo.com/group/lpradicals-discuss
groups.yahoo.com/group/lpradicals-debate
groups.yahoo.com/group/leftlibertarian2

Diet: Vegetarian---99% vegan. See:
veganfitness.net, username: jamesndawson
animalrightscommunity.com, "The Community", "Flexitarians".
username: jamesndawson

Other Interests:
ZINES---Self-Publishing/Networking/DIY/Simple Printing/Zines---Mimeograph, Ditto, Letter Press, Home Xerox,

Pre or Non-Internet/PC Entertainment Technology---radios, tape recorders, analogue TV, Stand-Alone Digital, Etc.

Philosophy---Critical Thinking, Ethics, Politics, Religion, Ideas and Consequences, Theory and Action, Individualism...

Mysteries/Unexplained---Cryptozoology (Sasquatch, Pteradactyl, Thunderbird....), Misc

Music---Alternative Rock, New Wave, Garage, Synth, Post Punk, Goth....

Movies & Pulp Fiction----mostly "intelligent horror", cult, silents, obscure, B....

Documentaries---mostly 60's through 80's

Warning: I often "recycle" my e-mails and letters to supplement my mailings. Let me know how you feel about this, and we'll take it from there. I may use letters I receive in my zines---TELL ME CLEARLY "DO NOT PRINT" if you don't want me to.
E-Mail Me If You Must, But Why Not Just Send Me Paper Mail at my POB! Zines, Movies, Mix Tapes, Etc. Also Welcome! Will Answer All!

MY TRADE POLICY: No need to arrange trades via e-mail. Just send me your zine via the USPS and I'll reciprocate! When my zine reaches you, it's yours to do with what you like, but I'd be grateful if you didn't destroy or "recycle" it with the newspapers---I bled an ocean and cried a river of tears creating my zines, and paid a pretty penny to print them. Please, pass it on to somebody who'd enjoy them, if you can. I try to "read the situation" and treat zines I get according to how their makers would like, but if you have any "do's, don't or druthers" about how you'd like your zine "disposed of" or "passed on" it'd be best to make these clear. THANKS!

I haven't been to the Post Office yet to see if your zines arrived...I will have mailed off my zine swap zines by Monday, and then I should have time to print some of mine up and send them to you.

Hi James. The Horror Zine is open to everyone; however, I don't really want to give out my home address. Can your friend email his work to either thehorrorzine@gmail.com or to you?
