Try Borknagar: YouTube- Borknagar - Traveller Lyrics: This band's later stuff is about maths and science. Maybe you can get and idea out of this.

My Fe rides the short bus on the way to the Special Olympics. I usually keep it locked in a cage in the basement but, every now and then it breaks out and makes a mess of things. I don't really understand how it breaks out but it does.

I find myself being able to do this too LAM. I can't really predict what people (ones I don't know) are going to physically do but, their intentions are easy to see. There are a number of ways that a person can manifest what they want to do. Then I think once you get you thumb on a person you...

Fusionknight I really like your status roll idea. Status update Ashenstar? I want to read your results.

There are days when I wake up, walk out the door, take a deep breath and think; today is a good day to be alive. Enjoy it because I think this is the definition of true happiness. Once you've found it I don't think its possible to lose. Never lose sight of it because it can get clouded. My bet...

Pretend to be blind. Cane tap around, start muttering things about peoples appearances. Or even better if you walk around with a dazed unfocused look in your eyes. Then when you catch people staring at you stare back at them. I think this would be fun to do even if it wasn't a school project...

Yea theres times when I'm the buzz killington. But when I'm with people im 100% comfortable with im the opposite uhh... yea i can't think of a name that works for that :(

I didn't take it as either this or that. I do however agree with your 'this is how it is' statement. There is too much of this false dichotomy business going on in the world. Its the fact that a placebo (basically the will of the person) and the actual drug had similar effects to one another. I...

Perfect! I have been reading a book on Tao Te Ching, which is a series of 81 verses somewhat akin to the "life guidelines" of The Bible. I'm not finished yet but, I am starting to see the trend. This, Blob, is something that would fit in perfectly. I can even say that I have tried it out. Not...

You won't be fucked if you don't put in the work, you simply limit your choices. And you seemed to have made a decision about what you want to do. I think the saying is: you can't have your cake and eat it too If you are anything like me college is going to be a shock. You still have to take...

That's so true. I hate heights and I went and painted a barn (going up 30-40ft) on a ladder.... a LADDER! nothing like an unsturdy piece of metal between you and a pair of broken legs, that only gets magnified when the wind blows... relentlessly. Its almost like reaching inside your chest and...

We can fail together!

This would be amazing. I hate having to shut down. Just think of the possibilities! It would be like night and day in terms of the way you view the world. Even schizo like? I fully support the implementation of whale-people.

I read an article about something like this. In Africa somewhere they have such terrible connection speeds that it was faster for them to strap a flash drive to a birds leg and then have the bird fly to where the data was needed.

@Infinite Regress: I appreciate the advice. I am at a level where I don't need to borrow "comebacks" from other people. My problem is getting them to be seamless. As squid says, canned responses just don't cut it to get the best effect. Each one must be tailored to each specific instance...

Reduce the effect my ego has over me. For too long I have let it take a strangle hold. I read about a way to overcome it. So this shall be the year. This is my #1 priority. Among other things: -Get a job. I need some form of income... badly -Quit smoking (cigarettes) weed is fair game...

I hear ya squid. Remaining present is something that I am trying to work on. The hard part is reminding myself that thats what I need to be doing. So much energy to force this. I always wonder just how people can be so quick with their "comebacks." It takes me a few moments before I can...

Blissful ignorance how I miss thee.... Can you believe it I'm already spending $10,000 a year just so people can teach me what they think? I get figidity and twitchy when I go too long without thinking, I'll even lash out. I bet I could go to the corner and buy a logic puzzle book. That...

haha Cobra your comment on Roid Rage is lol

Yes, yes and a third time yes. You have put into writing my thoughts. I am going to make an assumption that you are either in highschool or college? At this age (I'm in college) I don't think people have had much of a chance to mature or really understand just what the real world is all...

I don't really follow. How does this show you being merciful? Are you sure that the military is the only option? Have you looked into getting student loans? I mean if you really wanted to you could just go live in the woods :D (Seriously though I've thought about it). Anyways I think I am...

bowden: we have two choices here- believe or not believe. she has two choices lie or truth. Since we can only control our choices there is no use in speculating what hers are: choices--------believe---------------not believe =============================== truth-------we potentially----|- we...

@ProxyAmenRa This past semester I discovered that this kind of stuff is interesting to me. We had to make a very simple FEA simulation that would find a temperature of 2100 nodes. I think its the fact that you are using math to find something usefel in the real world. 6 computers? What are...

I had this conversation a few months ago with a friend of mine. We came to the conclusion that using physical laws would be the best way to go. The reason being that physical laws are constant no matter who or what you are. We would have to assume that these aliens percieve reality as we do...

@thiagomdo That's an interesting concept. I have found myself in situations like what you described. Usually, they don't last very long because something immediately is happening that requires my action. It seems to be summed up by mind over matter. I looked up who Ouspensky was. I then...

Man I suck!... In my defense though I was watching TV and looking up stuff on the internet at the same time. Atleast an hour went by before I finished /yawn.

I just barely made it into the College of Engineering at my school. And now that I'm in I have a ~2.5 for my major. I'd be lieing if I said that it didn't bother me. I don't dwell on it because like you I don't study or do homework, its too damn painful. Feels like I'm spending waaay too much...

This is what I want to do. I am convinced that the key to a system such as this lies in energy. Also... I would, when the time is right, make those who belong have access to everything they could need for free. Eventually I would expand this to all material goods thereby removing the value of money

That's about the time whered you start dumping tea into Boston Harbor. The New American Revolution... Sounds good to me

7/20 Kinda wish I could watch the videos more than once but I guess thats the point.

I am the same way on recall vs retrieval. The good news is that retrieval seems to be something that one can work on via study and practice. Thankfully my engineering teachers see it the same way and let us use our books and notes for testing. Amorfati I suggest you pick something technical...

Haha thats rediculous. I wonder if this means in a million years theres going to be underwater coconut cities.

I would start an off earth society. Materialism would not exist as there would be no need for a person to profit off their fellow man. Focus would shift toward gaining an understanding of the universe and increasing the knowledge/technology of mankind. This will happen eventually anyways.

haha bluesquid you douchebag. but I agree it can be fun to twist this stuff around for a laugh. what I hate is that nobody else can really share in it. I have to ask though, was there some sort of decision involved: one day you decided im going to try out this manipulation thing. Auburn...

I am on the home stretch of my engineering degree. One thing that helped me the most was getting a co-op job. I got to take a year off and work for a company doing engineering related jobs. While the co-op wasn't the greatest (I was only a student) I know now that this degree is going to help...

You made a classic mistake of starting with celery, rookie move :D I hate celery. I generally stick to eating corn, greenbeans, brocoli, and spinach. Greenbeans are pretty mild and easy to cook. After boiling toss on some olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

I just got done taking a sociology class last semester and this is exactly the kind of stuff we learned about. Pretty interesting subject. Kind of wish I brought my book back with me right about now. Anyhow the concepts of gender are social constructs. Gender being the sets of behaviors...

I've had that soul obliterating fear experience. It was not fun, not fun at all... I became aware of some entity that I wasn't meant to (or so it seemed). It then got very angry and felt as though it grabbed my very essence and threatened to destroy it. Kind of strange because I've had similar...

It helps a little- you can never fully unsee what has been seen

I take fresh cayenne peppers and squeeze the juice out of them into a little bottle. I then grab an eye dropper and fill it up with said juice. Then right before bed I grab the dropper and squeeze it out drop by drop into both eyes one at a time until I am out of juice.

Right now im feeling (no order): Tool Agalloch Bush Dark Tranquillity Septic Flesh Notable mentions: In Flames (older stuff) Amon Amarth Millencolin Tom Petty Modest Mouse

Flow you've got it perfect. It cannot be stressed enough that your role in a group is based on you. I can see what you are saying Thoughtful, if you want the group to fit your mold you have to go out and exert some influence. Yes even you are human and can fail. Me being in college, I don't...

Man and I thought I was the only one who got paranoid like that. I actually had to quit because every time I would smoke it was like going to my own personal hell. ( My dreams/goals are about the only thing that keep me sane anymore. I spend most of my time thinking about what I'm going to do...

Well said. Exactly what I was going to say. I always wonder why people feel the need to lie, kiss ass and all that rigmarole (i love that word). Isn't it more important to see whether you succeed and not the picture you painted? The answer that I've come to: is that the pressures of society...

A few years back I read up on this to see if I could induce a lucid dream. One way that worked for me was to periodically throughout my day ask myself 'Am I dreaming?' and really mean it. Eventually I would become concious inside my dream but, as soon as I realised it I got excited and just...

What if I like to take them apart and make double, triple and even quadruple stuffed? I eat all the cookies first and save the "surgically enhanced" one for last. Usually followed by a sickened feeling.

I got 'the virus' which is pretty accurate in some cases. Actually I do this with almost every person I meet. I'm always making new inside jokes. It forms an almost sacred bond with the other person when only you two are in the know.

I had an experience like this. There was such a feeling of dread and utter destruction of my very being that came with it. I am sure that I wasn't meant to be aware of this entity but I was. This was not something that I tried to force. I don't even know if that would be possible. I was...

At least you are being truthful to yourself, Toad. That's probably more important than whether you are "good" or "bad." It is not a crime to think of yourself as better than another. That's genetics and survival of the fittest for you. We just have this whole political correctness disease that...
