I am surprised at how quickly I have been improving in Counter Strike.

I did a historiography presentation yesterday for my intro to US history class. The professor gave me 100 out of 100 and only had good things to say about it, but a girl in the class gave me low scores on everything and said that it was too biased and that I needed to stick to the facts. I'm anxious to see what her presentation is going to be like.

I'm also starting to get sick of my job. I'm always getting told, "It doesn't have to be perfect", "It doesn't have to be perfect", "Just leave it like that", but then when a truss has a problem somebody says to me, "you need to take more pride in your work".

I think I drank more alcohol in a 5 hour period this weekend than I have in a very very long time.

When a friend tries to get you to sleep with her sister to punish her because they fought, it is hard to take that as a compliment. In fact, it is downright insulting.

Being fair, it would have to be consensual to get that far with someone. So you have to be charming and suave to pull that off. But the idea of being in a consensual relationship with another as a 'punishment' does seem insulting and stupid!

I hate that I just watched the Colbert Report end. The show has been around for 9 years which is a whole 40% of the length of time I have been alive on this planet. My political views have been born, molded and evolved while watching Stewart and Colbert. Change is awful.

But is she hot.

I don't mean that that is really off. I would reconsider my friendship with her. Friend of mine asked me the same thing but only because he was worried she would get into the hands of bad people, a university degree doesn't help her from being incredibly naive.

But that was well meant, and I like her anyway. What is asked of you is just nasty.

[Vuk]

She is attractive, but the nasty type who never washes and just smears coconut oil into her hair and wears ten tons of make-up. She likes toying with men, but sleeping with women and is extremely proud of the fact that despite her having most men she knows wrapped around her finger, she has never slept with a man. My friend wanted me to seduce her, get her drunk, and sleep with her in an act that would border on statutory rape. I am reconsidering our friendship. lol

coconut oil

ffs get it of me

I texted an old number on my cellphone and was reunited with an old friend from high school. Quite the happy occasion.

Here are to old friendships rejuvenated. *sips toast*

My sister can be awesome, I love this quote of hers: I am the most important person in the world, nothing exists when I close my eyes

Well said. Now the question is is anything we see existing, or just ourselves?

One time when I was young, a fellow classmate punched me in the face. I do not like pain, I would not wish for myself to experience pain. But I did feel pain, therefore the sensation must have come from an outside source. These outside sources must be perceivable since they were capable of inflicting pain on me. To what degree the perception of things around me is mine and what is the reality, I do not know. But there must be a degree of reality (that is, something that I have not constructed in my head) in what I experience simply because what I experience is not to my liking.


On an unrelated note, Merry Christmas everyone!

Pain is interpreted by the mind. Reality is a perception of the mind to suit ones own existence. To say that we are deaf, dumb and blind mutes like a terracotta army might be a little much but it could be looked into. To sum up and keep this brief, if you saw someone hit you, you could say we have the ability to do more than just dream visions, but also physical sensations and such. What does the pain warrant? Retribution? Or merely an alleviation and forgetting of the sensation. Not the event, but rather just the sensation. Events can be forgotten in completion, but that is restricted to the individual.

Pleasurable sensations are indeed a delight, but much like other sensations, even to the sedentary, they are brief and forgettable. The problem as I see it arises when time passes and the mind slowly decays and abandons our memories of reality or the lack there of. Senility for example, what kind of world do those such people live in? It must be a vast tapestry of memories and beliefs that you can see flash in their wildly unaware eyes, but I do believe it exists. It is just incomprehensible to the more astute amongst us. What about people who suffer from fugues? Two lives, one remembered one forgotten and they alternate as the sufferer's mind ages.

I seem to be rambling now. If physical sensation denotes a reality, then I guess I can argue no more, but what if as I write this it is merely a memory of the org from years ago and I sit on the side of my bed in a rest home gaily staring out the window at the breezes caressing the tree tops?

Well said example by the way acin. Merry Christmas to you and other orgahs who frequent this fine forum.

Reality is that you are absolutily terrified.

[A Nerd]

Perhaps. However fear is also all in the mind. A figment of the imagination.

I just got a FB friends request, and chatted, with a Danish girl I taught how to ski... 7 years ago...

I have no idea how she found me, as my FB name isn't remotely close to my real name. She must have met up with someone at the ski resort I worked at who knew me, talked about me, and had this person think I would like to have her around (only rather close people get my FB).

Strange...

But then I am happy for it, this girl is probably the BEST guest I ever had... Not just because she let me do it in the one and two, but primarily because I never before had a ski group who I didn't have to entertain, she did it for me. Heck, she had the group make little dittys of my commands... AWESOME...

If I got it right, she made it quite close to the finale in X-factor (kind of like [nation name]-IDOL).

Don't even know why I write this...

It was just so random that this Danish girl would out of the blue contact me some 7 years after we met, who also happens to be absolutely amazing...

Oh well, after first short chat I am invited VIP-dressing room to her next tour... Life has been worse.

It's amazing how the little bud I met have turned out into this absolute flower, good on her!!

Simple little wisdoms. There was money stolen from a friend of mine, he knows who did it, or is at least very sure. He doesn't care,'whatever he took from me he took from himselve'

Guessing it was another friend and his wisdom is, what he took, the person lost in friendship?

He believes that every wrong you do comes back three times, so he doesn't care about the money, karma

I'd be more likely to break the guy's kneecaps, but to each their own.

That agument is stupidly easy to counter:

If he took it from you, and thus from himself, isn't that twice as troublesome and shouldn't you help him on the right path?




Regardless, who the hell have "friends" who steal from them? I can say some bad things about my friends, stealing stuff from me isn't one of them, ever.

The thing that would annoy me the most is the fact they never asked me. It would be pretty much a friendship breaker unless they convinced me otherwise, and even then, I will think twice about leaving money laying around in any shape or form.

I can go with that. But he can't prove anything anyway. It's a substantial amount that was taken. Never trust addicts.

Cool, I am living in one of the top 40 hotspots of the world according to the guardian, there certainly are a lot of tourists here but I am kinda weary as Amersfoort is really small.
