It has been the same as far back as I can remember. Even though I spend many conscious moments attempting to force my mind to travel in this beautiful way, I am never able to recreate the flight...not in words, not in ink, not in thought. But, I have learned a day’s dream can fuel a nighttime’s tryst.
And so, it is always late at night and always when I am most hopeful that it begins. At the bottom of the stairs I stand and wait. The moment is always the same. I take a deep breath, and then with my arms outstretched, I lean forward. The lift is immediate. I glide easily up the staircase, out into to the open expanse of the room, and then out the front door.
Once outside, I rise even further and the world below me becomes smaller and I become bigger. I am always alone while I fly. I am light. Flight is effortless and I am unencumbered. I am fearless. And, as I acknowledge that wonderful feeling I become aware that I will soon wake up and it will be over. I will return to my feet with gravity’s hold on me and the notion that I can accomplish anything as long as I stand.
p.s. my pockets are lined with holes big enough to hold coins and small enough to sift dirt.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Have I ever told you about my squirrel-lady neighbor?
No, but I'd love to hear it.
Luvin you too Lucy Lu!
Aww thanks mj.
Hmm. What kind of special gift? I'm curious
She's a former neighbor actually.
But she would always throw squirrel feed out into her front yard. Every morning. We already had enough squirrels in the city. Too many.
Anyhoo, my dog was just a pup and in the morning I would take him out front. He always stayed in the yard, but when that lady would attract all the squirrels his reasoning was all out the door.
He got into her flower bed and she chewed me a new one. All I could say was "Why do you have to be so mean?"
I told my hubby, well lets just say he got her back.
When she was gone he poured several bags of bird feed into her backyard. That made me smile. :)
Cool husband Anima.
Neighbourly revenge is sweet.

How To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity In The Workplace
- Page yourself over the intercom. (Don’t disguise your voice.) - Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.) - Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. “That’s a good point, Sparky.” “No I’m sorry I’m going to have to disagree with you there, Chachi.” - Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you’re doing. e.g. “If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the bathroom.” - “Hi-lite” your shoes. Tell people that you haven’t lost your shoes since you did this. - While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in “Palmolive.” - Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle. - Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell people you’re waiting for your document. - Arrive at a meeting late, say you’re sorry, but you didn’t have time for lunch, and you’re going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat 5 entire raw potatoes. - Insist that your e-mail address be: “zena_goddess_of_fire@companyname.com - Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that. - Send email to yourself engaging yourself in an intelligent debate about the direction of one of your company’s products. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement. - Suggest that beer be put in the soda machine. - Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing. - Put your garbage can on your desk. Label it “IN.” - Determine how many cups of coffee is “too many.” - Develop an unnatural fear of staplers. - For a relaxing break, get away from it all with a mask and snorkel in the fish tank. If no one notices, take out your snorkel and see how many you can catch in your mouth. - Send e-mail messages saying free pizza, free donuts etc… in the lunchroom, when people complain that there was none… Just lean back, pat your stomach, and say, “Oh you’ve got to be faster than that.” - Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso. - Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark 17 inch paper, 99 copies. - In the memo field of all your checks, write “for sexual favors.” - If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others. - When driving colleagues around insist on keeping your car wind- shield wipers running in all weather conditions “to keep ‘em tuned up.” - Reply to everything someone says with “that’s what YOU think.” - Practice making fax and modem noises. - Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and “cc” them to your boss. - Make beeping noises when a large person backs up. - Finish all your sentences with the words “in accordance with prophesy.” - Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears and grimacing. - Disassemble your pen and “accidentally” flip the ink cartridge across the room. - Shout random numbers while someone is counting. - Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire working area, and insist to others that you “like it that way.” - Staple papers in the middle of the page. - Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a croaking noise. - TYPE ONLY IN UPPERCASE. - type only in lowercase. - Dont use any punctuation either - Repeat the following conversation a dozen times: “Do you hear that?” “What?” “Never mind, it’s gone now.” - As much as possible, skip rather than walk. - Try playing the William Tell Overture by tapping on the bottom of your chin. - When nearly done, announce “No, wait, I messed it up,” and repeat. - Ask people what gender they are. - While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet. - Sit in your car in the parking lot at lunch time pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down. - Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about “psychological profiles”

Thanks MissT, my stories are always better in my head. It was much more dramatic. I went home in tears. But she would never say a word to any of the guys on the street. Just me mostly. :(
Thanks for another squeeze BC.
MJ, I want to try so many of those.
Great ideas. Great ideas.
Your welcome anima :)
Opps, I thought you said "cool story" ... I'm a weirdo.
Anima I think salt in her flower beds would have been better
Salt? Oh really? I'll have to remember that one.
She had a really decorated back yard. There was a ton of birdshit all over her globes/statues/chairs, so it did a pretty good job.
Blogger is still being bitch so I have to post something or it will repost my last comment.

BC not only are they doing a remake of a Nightmare on Elm Street but they are working on a remake of Friday the 13th
Hello Amy how are you?
For You:
I Would Live in Your Love
I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that
recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.
Yeah, You
Hey amy, happy St. Patrick's day.
Hi Amy, how are you?
As soon as it comes in BC you will get it.
Anon at 8:18, why do you keep up this idle speculation and rumor mongering? Did no one ever tell you that this is destuctive behavior. What you are doing is wrong. Please stop with the useless comments. Life is too short to waste on this pursuit of yours.

Dear Jeebus, mj, I heard about the friday the 13th remake. How horrible sucky would that be?
Ther are many more important questions to be answered in life. Why not change your focus and walk away from this one? It is not going to be resolved by your obsessive behavior.
8:20, you mean, until something new catches your eyes.

afraid of them finding the truth?
Hey! Picking on moms is NOT ALLOWED in this blog! 0_0
Alright BC I will wait till your B-day just remind me than alright.
i agree with rw, leave mummy k out of it. she is not here, and has nothing to do with this.
Bc I was thinking about all the horror movie remakes that they are or want to do.
Aside from Rob Zombie most of these people seem to be in it for the cash.
I mean there is no point to most of the remakes. All they are doing is updates with more CGI.
If my mom knew about this, she'd so kick your ass!
Wow! My first false-accustion. I'm flattered.
No, my daughter is very young.
Your pattern of behavior is kind of scaring me. You obviously have not listened to a word I've said to you.
I hate horror film re-makes.
You can't beat the original Halloween.
someones mum, are you the one that asked about guitar lessons? i think it was that
Hello rw and FS how are you?
RW what you said about the mommy thing is right
Hey anon, leave k's mom out of this. Mj, I will for sure. Thanks.
Hi rw *squeeze*
hey martha, bc, someone mum, miss t, rw and anon.
i saw a tiny clip of hostel 2 the other night and i had to turn it off. wasnt into that at all
Hullo MJ, BC, FS, Miss T , someone's mom, and anyone I may have missed :D
Yes Fimble, that was me. Sorry if I got a little lectury(?) with the anon, but she needs a talking to.
Hi fimmy again.
Hi RW, how are you?
Miss t from what I have heard the rob zombie remake is pretty good. He didn't just take the original story and add better special effects. HE made it into another way of looking at the story.
Anyway rob zombie seems to really love making good horror films
omg, yay i got it right. i usually forget things but hey check me out bitches.
how are you, did your daughter get the guitar lessons?
attention everyone
rw has porn at her house
MJ, I did enjoy the dawn of the dead remake though.
*waves to ho2*
I'm good, Miss T, though tired. We're working overtime hours at the opera this week. How are you today?
PS. don't listen to Fimmy. She's crazy!
RW I don't like the movies like saw or Hostel. They're not scary they are just sick.
And they are talking about doing another Friday the 13th TV show.
We just got back from her lesson. It's been 3 months and she still can't play a real song. These things take time:)
Mj, exactly, about the movie remakes. The remakes are so lame as hell, and earlier today I saw a commercial for the remake of prom night and it looks so lame.
The original was r-rated and the remake has been given a pg-13 rating but it looks dumb.
Miss t, agreed.
I'm good thank RW.
What opera is it?
Oh dear, is fim telling porkies again?
lol, does she practice and show you what she has learnt. have you spoke to paperheartxx, she is learning the guitar too. maybe they can both swap hints and tips.
i have always wanted to play the piano. just something that i had a fasination with. maybe later on in life
I never saw the original Dawn of the dead but I didn't like the remake.
I hate how now with most horror movies you don't feel anything for the people who are fighting against those monster. Most of the time I want them all to die as soon as possible.
sheffy wag, would i ever?
i dont think so
RW I don't like the movies like saw or Hostel. They're not scary they are just sick.
I can't watch movies like that either. Actually, I couldn't even watch Zodiac, I had to turn it off. I can't watch movies where people do horrible things to each other. If I wanted to see that, I'd just watch the news.
Anyway, off to my shower. Later :)
Hiya MJ!
Enjoying St Pat's Day, of course! How is everyone in here doing?

hey there amy, i am grand. i just heard a bang in the house so you should of seen me, i was like a ninja. i had my niece's toy broom in my hand and was going round checking the house.
how are you
There are two operas opening, Miss T - Onegin and The Barber Of Seville.
Hullo, Amyranth! :)
It is sad that the only original horror movies these days are torture porn
Later RW
i just heard a bang in the house so you should of seen me, i was like a ninja. i had my niece's toy broom in my hand and was going round checking the house.
If you had encountered an intruder, he would have shit himself at the sight of that. A toy broom, scares me alright.
how is the fuck-a-thon going martha. can you get a fuck yet or do you need more donations?
Mj, they're planning on remaking the friday the 13th show? I used to watch the original when I was a kid.
Hello someone's mom. Nice to meet you :)

Hey everyone!
hey solly
*waves*
No they aren't remaking the TV show they want to do a new one. It will have Jason in it and be more like Buffy
Hi solly!!!!
Wassup?
the sky
Enjoy your shower rw. Mj, that's the funny thing. In some horror movies, you end up hating the main characters more than you hate the monsters, and then you end up cheering for the monsters to kill them off.
Hi Sdock, I just wanted to say that You inspire me. I think you are a really great person.
Hi everyone! I'm only stopping by for a second. I had to work twelve hours today and I feel like shit.
Hi Someone's Mom!
Nice to meet you!
Hi princess. 12 hours, I don't envy you that.
Mj, I see. The original was not even based on the movies even though it had the same title. Lame.
*waves to fimmy and solly*
hi smok.

Well, it seems things have calmed down over there. I guess I should stay away.

Hi Sdock, I just wanted to say that You inspire me. I think you are a really great person.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much, but you are the inspiring one. You are a mother. Mothers are truly special people.
Hello SD10 and some one's mom
Yes, that's what I said. I left and the anons left. I don't want to come in here and have this shit ruin anyone's night.
Hey MJ! Hey Amy! Hey Fimble! Hey MissT! Hey BC! Hey RW! Hey Smoke! Hey Anons! Hey Lurkers! Hey Watchers! Hey Mayo!

back to catch up so far
shark attack ?? where??
lucy great about the house
missT they have Shaun theSheep on at 7am i watch it when i get up
Hey everyone! Hey someone's mom! My Mom lurks here and reads, but never comments. She has commented on Fim's blog and on Solly's and that's it.
To the assheaded rodeo clown who thought that was my mom, go screw a poodle. My Mom does not get involved in stuff like this other than to roll her eyes over it and laugh when we go shopping together.
Hello everyone! I just got back from a fully epic training session and I tried to do the Golden Scissors (spinning up-kick from the floor with a back rollover,) with hilarious results. I got about six inches of vertical air before face-planting and simultaneously getting my bell rung. It was awesome! Too funny.
Well, I have to get in the shower, I'll be back on later. :D
not in my mind your not someones mom. you need a nickname cos i am to lazy to keep typing it lol.
Hey everybody!
It's a full house tonight!
Party hardy!

Hi K, Hi mustard. How are you?
So?
What's our TOD for the night?!
You guys don't know TOD, do you?
Night, Smoke!
BC this is for you
Remake
On January 29, 2008, Variety reported that Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes production company would be rebooting the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form already have another reboot ready to begin shooting in April, that of Jason Voorhees and the Friday the 13th franchise.[33]
Hello s&v20, mib and kapu how are you?
I know TOD...I thought it was TODD though...Ya know deep and all?
Solly, don't worry. You're not ruining anyone's night.
Oooo, you got it, Sdock!
You do know TOD! Or TODD, psuedonyms and all that jazz ;)
So, where the hell is he?
nighty night smok star. sweet dreams and i hope you saw the porch
Hullo & goodnight, S&V! :)
Love Is Enough
Love is enough: though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter;
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.
I can't keep up with everyone that is here so hello all.
The thon is going alright.
Thanks, BC.
I dunno Mustard. He's an elusive little devil...that TODD.
Goodnight princess. sweet dreams.
sweet child of mine
*gets on Mayo's built-in, 23 speaker soundsystem*
EXCUSE ME?
If there's a TODD around here, could you please make your way to the center of the Family room?
Again, if there's a TODD here, make your way to the center of the Family room.
lmfao
sweet child of mine
I ♥ that song. :)
i am loving it now. have it on youtube. i love what you did with the guitar solo
Ah, great.
I gotta vacate the premise, boyfriend is watching Black Hawk Down on EXTREME surround sound!
-A
Present and accounted for.
Goodbye, Anima!
i love what you did with the guitar solo
I know. I taught myself. ;)
Your topic for tonight is..."Why are we never satisfied?"
wats that movie about amy?
oh had a phone call
I will Fim! she has seen your myspace so has an idea who you are.
morning was ok (it's only 11:30 am now) except getting the right places for all the kids was a shambles and my sis in law is a self centered so and so and another friend is in a shit of a mood but that's normal so I just avoided tham and talked to the happy people! heehee
MissT love shaun and the song is so cute!!
TODD!
Great to see you!
So? What's written on that little envelope you got in your pocket there?
See you Amy. Take care.
You could always take his speakers away.
Ooo, you're a fast one! Speed reader!
Gotta think.
bloody marvallous then. you should chat with 'someones mum' cos her daughter is learning. you could give pointers ;)
Time for me to hit the sack. Have a good night, all :)
you could give pointers ;)
Or just give her my hat, make her have a permanent, and ultimately have her looking wicked cool!
oh ergo, i am glad. you should of took a tanker of vodka and gave it to the unhappy bunnies. maybe they would perk up abit ;)
(and don't listen to Fimble 'cause she tells outrageous stories)
Nite RW!
well I'm quite satisfied but I suppose it's because people always wonder if there is something better or different
I think we're never satisified because we're taught not to be.
Or, at least this culture is. We're pushed to always be the best, to strive for more, to make it or break it. We're instilled with this since early childhood and we become it.
We're taught never to settle for anything less than what you deserve. Which brings up a totally different topic altogether.
Goodnight RW, sweet dreams.
MissT love shaun and the song is so cute!!
Ah, another believer.
Have a good night, RW! See you later!
Goodnight and sweet dreams smokie. Hi ergo, mustard, k.
Mj, I know. I still can't believe michael bay is gonna produce the movie :/
I think we are always on a search for answers. Not necessarily for anything better but just to make more sense of it all.
We are like little kids that keep going..."but why?"
Goodnight RW s&v20 and later amy.
I will be back in ten minutes
nighty night rw, i never lie. tuh tuh tuh. sweet dreams
goodnight RW hopefully I'll get to talk to you one day, it seems like weeks!
sweet dreams
Fim might help my friend, sis in law needs personality transplant
Yup, and I don't about anyone else, but I was never taught to question anything.
I mean, I did, but never anything beyond, "Why's the sky blue?"
But, now? I'm a walking question mark.
OOOhhh Mustard...don't go with the what you deserve thing...you know I can take that to a totally "flawed" perspective.
If we get what we deserve, do we deserve better than what we get?
Told you it was a totally different conversation! :)
Mustard, Do you ever feel like you have answers but you don't know the questions???
Bye amy. Goodnight and sweet dreams RW.
Yah.
How many times have I had an answer for you?
Plus, my brain works backwards. Which is totally a flaw, because that will mess you up.
I don't believe any of the "deserve" business, you get what your decisions as well as the influences of other people situations and things completely out of your control have all worked together to bring you to.
This is too deep for almost two in the morning. maybe if I was pissed. Alas, I am not.
sorry missT
I have to remember people are in the middle of the night when I'm bright and awake
MissT,
hahahahh, you know how Mustard and I are. We think and ponder on nothing.
Oh, but we make that nothing ultra-HUGE! ;)
Fimble:
I read that you're retiring for the evening. I wish you a goodnight!
hi BC are you not feeling well?
Ha ha ha ha, now worries Ergo.
Goodnight fimmy, sweet dreams.
Tonight, as I lay my tired, weary head on the soft, puffy pillow, I will try and make myself go into a dream which I want. So many thoughts run through my mind in those few moments before I nod off to dream world, most of the time I can not understand why I have so many thoughts in one place at the same time.
Tonight, I will try and dream about what I always wanted to dream about. I wish that I was flying but not flying to a certain place. I want to just fly in the sky with no worries to where I will go, I want to feel free. To feel the wind hit my face and the wind through my hair. To feel that there is nothing pulling me down, so far down and under that I cant breathe and suffocate from the thoughts and the people in my life.
I often question myself whether I am doing the right things and making the right decisions in my life, if they are right at this time or if I will regret them for the rest of my life. All of a sudden my mind sets onto the thought that I need to do what I must do. I need to take that step and make that leap into the great unknown. Maybe one day, I will be able to feel that I have achieved something in my life but for now I will dream and try and make those steps to make my life and my own person better.
Goodnight everyone, and I hope that you all have the dreams that you want. Think about something that makes you happy and make that vision in your mind. Never let go of what you truly want or believe in, you will achieve it one day, if you haven’t already achieved it.
Goodnight my friends and sweet dreams
Fimble

FOR TJ
I am eating wasabi peas and thinking of you.
A letter is being written and will be sent shortly!
goodnight fimbel! sweet dreams
Fimble,
I ♥ you!
That was really nice fim. Goodnight sweetie.
Why are we never satisfied? Because we have so much time in which to be not satisfied. Think about this: back in the days when you worked to survive, you were happy if you could manage that. These days, we have so much leisure time, so much time to sit around and blog, to navel-gaze as it were, we've become "deep" and we think about things like this.
Some people can manage to sit around all day and be "enlightened." More power to them. (Admittedly I'm one of the people who could honestly just chill around the house all day, water my plants, write a bit, talk to some pals, clean house, and be utterly satisfied, so I really don't judge.)
The fact that the world is so open to us makes us want more and more of it, I think.
Not to mention the fact that the world has really become such a global neighborhood that we only have millions more people against whom to compare ourselves and see where we fall short.
The other mad thing is this: If humans have evolved with survival in mind (survival of the species, of the clan and of the self,) then why do we seek out self-destructive behavior? Why do we smoke, drink to excess, take drugs, take risks, self hate, self harm, and in general do everything in our power to push our own mortality when it literally goes against out survival instinct? In other words what has become of the survival instinct, why has it faded?
Again I think this is because we live so much longer and have so much free time. I think humans (who have, or will, pretty much stop adapting physically via "survival of the fittest" because medicine has taken the place of evolution,) are adapting emotionally and mentally to an environment in which we feel bored, confined, and most of all unchallenged.
The short answer to the question I guess, at least in my opinion, is "we have too much time on our hands." ^_^
Mayo, if you are lurking: have you any thoughts on this as well?
There's another road down which this could lead me, it is in fact something Mayo mentioned once and I've been kinda dying to bring it up; it is slightly tangential to this question but not entirely. I'll see if I have the mental wherewithal for it. It's a toughie, and it sets people on edge, this subject. O_o
Oh Fim, did i miss you while i was babbling? Damn it all. You're going to try to lucid dream. That's tough, you're lucky if you can manage it. If you get anything good, let us know.
MAKE YOUR DREAM DIRTY, YOU DIRTY BIRD.
MUSSSTAAAAAAAAARDD!!
Jules, bring it!
Goodnight fimmy, sweet dreams and thank you for the advice. Ergo, yeah, I'm a little down with the sickness, but nothing serious.
I'm here, I'm here!
I'm just pondering all of that.
You know what they say about the road less traveled!
Hit me with your best shot!
It's one thing just to survive and another to be happy. Boredom drives people to take risks. We want the thrill of doing things that could cause our demise.
I believe we walk along the edge so close to death because it gives us the illusion of feeling more alive.
Now, I realize this makes no sense, but in my head I understand this.
Kapunua I disagree with you re the evolution, perhaps in a western world that may be the case but many cultures are still working to survive around the world, and there are still a great many people who feel very satisfied with their life. There is a big difference between being dissatisfied and wishing to strive for something better.
I think the problem is more that people expect that things will come easily and when they don't they become dissatisfied and that people want it now, not work for things hence huge problems with debt due to greed (as opposed to other reasons) why do we all need mobile phones? why do we need credit, why can't people use lay-by etc in shops?
people can get married expecting they can "just divorce" if it gets too hard or they realise they don't work together.
people feel and are told constantly they don't measure up in the western media and it is supposedly so easy to change yourself, you aren't thin, pretty wealthy etc enough.But if you did this you would be.People with no valid reason for success are held up as icons, rather than people with intelligence in politics/medicine/education etc etc
That breeeds dissatisfaction.
We reach out and touch the flame knowing we are going to get burnt, but we can't resist the feeling.

^_^ FUCKING RETARD
I believe we walk along the edge so close to death because it gives us the illusion of feeling more alive.
Maybe by doing so, they are better able to see the difference between life and death.
We reach out and touch the flame knowing we are going to get burnt, but we can't resist the feeling.
And we do it time and time again knowing the consequences.
Now, I know the things that I am throwing out there are fucked up...but I am just trying to explain how some people feel.
Evolution happens much, much slower than technology. So, it is difficult to relate the two.
sdock it is true but I have to say I am not that type of person at all and I can't understand why someone would but as Robert Downey Jr said
"I have a loaded gun in my mouth and I like the taste of metal"
I don't feel it but I know certain type of people does
Why have chimpamzees stopped evolving into man?
It's too mind boggling.
