What are you thinking now?

[Pendragon]

The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing wax--of cabbages and kings;
And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings?
And if I sould continue with this forum, or move on to other things,
For lo, my heart is weary and saddened; long winter comes before the spring.

[Kaltrina]

I love my new office, It's very cozy...I feel like home when I enter this forum...



@ Themis.. I totally understand you...it happens to me a lot, well actually used to happen to me a lot, I was always the one explaining and at the end always the one having not so good marks... :brickwall: but then again I always feel good when i explain things to people and when I help them study better... silly me I guess...

[samercury]

Just when you think things can't get any worse :rolleyes:

Normally, I do that too. I like explaining things and helping people understand them better. But in that particular case the person got a great mark and I just happened to be positive.

~Themis, Actually the fever was making me very emotional, in other words, MAD.

Right now, I am thinking about the picture above.

[rachel]

Thinking how strange it is people say 'thank God it is friday." The way my shedule works I always say"thank God it is tuesday." Of course that means anyone I want to have a tea with is cranky and whining about how long it is til friday.!

[Riesa]

Too true, Rachel, dear. I enjoy everyday pretty much; but Friday justs means the routine for others relaxes. Let's have tea together, I won't whine! Chin-chin.

We are making an Italian feast this weekend
Caesar Salad-from scratch
Baked Ziti
and Tortoni,
What wine should we serve?

[mingdamerciless]

i'm thinking that unless i find something soon I might have to wear my birthday suit to that dance tomorrow!!

[RobinHood3000]

Hmm. I can't imagine a VAST number of complaints in response to that one. But if you insist on not getting arrested (or worse), you could always make something out of duct tape.

[Themis]

Typing with a 'bandaged´ index finger is not as easy as it looks. Though I probably can't make this responsible for any sudden occurences of bad spelling and dyslexia.

[Outlander]

On November 1st, I stoped watching television, and it was suprisingly easy.
(you should see the look on peoples faces when I tell them that I've given up worshiping the mighty box of flashing colors and pretty people)

Unthinkable to some, and still others go on like I'm kidding.
I like to watch the different reactions, and a few have tried
to tempt me with video tapes and dvds. Drama dealers!

Now,(other than what is necessary)
I think it is time for me to learn what life is like without use of oration.

That will do away with time consuming and often mudane conversations, phone calls will be short and too the point, and I will not call anyone.

This, in my opinion, is a good idea.

In three months, I will find something else to be rid of. :)

[rachel]

I used to pick things for one year at a time except reading books before the fifth century. I went five years for that one and then forgot to begin reading a stack of them on New years eve as I had planned to.

Forgiveness is not an emotion but an act of the will. I will to forgive. You have to let go of any high opinion of yourself though orthe value of yourself but oh it is the most freeing thing, the most glorious thing. It feels Kingly somehow

Red, of course. I don't ususally get hung up on whether its cabernet or merlot or just about any other red. A good red is a good red for the most part.

[Riesa]

We went with a Hoya De Cadena. Highly recommended by the supermarket wine guy. I'm sure he recommended the same wine or eggs and oysters in one breath, so we will see.

Just looked that up, a tempranillo, a Spanish wine. I really like them, and Spanish wines are a great value. They don't carry the prestige of French or Italian wines, which is good because that must keep the price down. I think they're as good.

[Outlander]

I may have to pick something else, as much as, I think it would be cool to know what it's like to not speak, - My family is having some serious problems with it.

Oh, well -
Now they get to hear me complain about not being able to not complain. :)

I am glad Pen.

You'd have to go into a photo-editing program and shrink it down so that its widest dimension is less than or equal to 100 pixels, I believe.

thank you SO MUCH, you've made my day.
I am thinking how I can't wait just for today to get this little bundle of energy to bed.
In the last hour she has thrown her animal crackers into the freshly drawn dish water,emptied everything from the computer table, picked to pieces crackers with a pen and threw it all on the floor while humming happily,dumped her room completely upside down,wept while watching Cinderella weep and at the same time trashing the rug and now is again hording anything of ours she can find and putting the items into her little cupboard. I pray before going in there. So although I have already cleaned, as soon as I put her down I will clean everything once more, wash the hardwood floors, do some baking and then write and work on new shades. And once she wakes up it will start all over again. She doesn't mean to be naughty and she does clean up a lot herself(argh!!) it is just that she loves to be creative.
my friend's baby just sits there and is perfect. dear Alexandra, she runs when she sees baby Hasia!

[kilted exile]

I am thinking did this not used to be in the games Thread section, or am I imagining things?

I wonder if I will complete the last faerie story to go in my collection of short stories-faerie style. then off to the editor. If I get a good offer I will use part of the money to set up some sort of fund for street people needing to go to school to get basic education before moving on in life. They often don't have even an alarm clock or proper clothes or even grooming skills because of the traumas they have suffered just staying alive.

They lost a 600mm Watermain, which then caused a sanitary sewer line to collapse and destroyed a major intersection. When a pipe goes completely it has the same effect as a very localised earthquake - ground swells up then just sinks. The road is out of comission for a week. A real headache for the staff who are gonna have to fix it.

and no this time it wasnt caused by a drunken scotsman :D

Are like me free and whant to flee
From what we are and try to be
Anything else beyound our destiny

A Poem About Pensy (Pensive) And Pansy:

Pansy was a little birdy
She was owned by Pensy

Pensy loved her so much that she never left her out
Pansy realized that and she knew that she was stout

Pansy was strong
Pansy was never wrong

She used to argue with Pensy
And always won she

Her life was beauty
She was Pensy’s cutie

She struggled for her existence
But she had to die

Pensy loved her
So she had to cry

That was the story of Pensy’s blue birdy
“I will never forget Pansy” says Pensy

Pensy still visit her grave
Actually Pansy is buried in a book case

There she lies, strongly and silently
Pensy stares at her and weeps bitterly

(I am thinking about this silly poem of mine.)

How hard a wrestling match can be to both contenders. The amount of conditioning needed in those six minutes is crazy. If that match goes to overtime, the more conditioned one will normally win. Example in overtime one guy tries a double leg takedown, but has no energy left because he was ill conditioned. The other couters by knocking the ill conditioned competitor on to his side and wins.-- It's so much fun.

Many thanks, rachel, it has stopped snowing finally. :nod:

I am thinking how beautiful Themis' new avy is... I love it...

Hey Themis you just told me a great news about the snow, because whatever the weather is up there at your country, it comes later in our country, so I guess it will snow for some days but it will stop eventually... :D :D

[Themis]

:D Funny how the weather works.

Glad you like my avy, Kaltrina, I like yours too. Though i do wonder what it shows. Edit: Except hands... err ...hm.

[Kaltrina]

yep it is funny... it is snowing here right now with a lot of wind...

My avy: those are my hands drawn by my sister, she loves drawing hands and my hands are always the model... in this avy my hands were on my head... but my sister never draws faces... :D

[Themis]

:eek: I would have thought a professional had drawn the hands. Your sister has got talent, Kaltrina.

Why is it everytime I go to the supermarket I end up buying a load of junk and hardly any actual food? For example I have just returned from what was supposed to be a trip to get some vegetables, and meat to make a stir-fry. However, I have somehow returned with: one box doughnuts; 2 boxes of cereal bars; 4 jello puddings; chocolate; jujubes; waffles; and a box of eggs. :confused: :confused: :confused: :goof:

[rachel]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! you remind me of this Irish guy I know. He used to do the shopping for his wife but always came back with about two hundred dollars worth of junk and maybe ten dollars worth of 'real food'. He finally had to get help with his spending and now she shops and they actually have money in the bank.
Two things that actually work :
1. never go to market hungry. Have something if only a cup of hot something a a cookie or two first.
2.write a list, be ruthless and it will really really help
hope you at least have syrup for the waffles :wave:

Just be yourself and things will take their usual flow. Let your heart speack.


How will I explain,what words will do?......
Words just explain themselves. Say what you have to say and things will be what they have to be.


Sometimes, we are happy other times we are sad, but why? why? why? I want to be happy all the time.

Because life is made of change. We are sad in order to be happy. The one is defined by the other. There would be no hapiness if there was no sadness. Otherwise we would complain of monotony.


how strange and complicated even the most simple life can be.

And that what makes of us so eagar to live it.

I'm not sure something that was written on the 30th of January, 2006 could be considered 'news' now. For a "news blog" that is supposed to keep the student well informed about what is going to become of our studies, the lack of information is really remarkable.

[kilted exile]

Wow, it's been 10 years already. Most of you reading this (If any of you read this) will be thinking probably something like 10 years since what. I'll tell you what its 10 years since a mentally unstable man named Thomas Hamilton walked into a Primary School in Dunblane (Scotland) and proceeded to execute a classful of 5/6year old kids, together with their teacher with his legally owned Browning 9mm pistol. One of the kids killed was the niece of my highschool Latin teacher, we were in her class when the news broke & I can honestly say I have never seen someone so distraught in my life, and I pray I never will do in the future.
After the horrific events of that day handguns were banned in the UK, a decision which annoyed the hell out of those people who owned handguns for using at shooting ranges. 10 years on, a lot of these people still dont see the problem with owning a handgun. I am fed up hearing every March 13th that "people kill people, guns dont kill people" or the sickeningly inconsiderate "cars kill a lot more people, why not ban cars".
Either these people are being deliberately obtuse, or they are completely stupid. I'll deal with the "people kill people, guns dont kill people" comment first: Of course its people who kill people, however you give someone a .44 Magnum handgun and he'll kill a lot more people in a lot less time. An addition to this comment I have seen is the suggestion that Hamilton would have caused just as much trouble with an ordinary household hammer, which has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If he had been armed with a hammer, someone may have stood a chance of disarming the crazy **** (surprised I've made it this far without swearing).
Now for the "cars kill a lot more people, why not ban cars" brigade, do I really have to do with this crap? Little explanation the majority of people killed by cars are due to accidents, not someone deliberately trying to drive into people!!!The majority of people killed by handguns however are caused by someone pointing the gun at their "target" and blowing their brains out.
Now I know a lot of innocent people have been "inconvenienced" by this but if it prevents more Dunblanes I dont give a **** how inconvenienced you are. There hasn't been a Dunblane since.

Now to a more depressing subject, those kids should be turning 15/16 and getting ready to make their mark on the world. Instead they lie in graves, while inconsiderate arseholes complain about not being able to fire projectiles at sheets of paper.

[RobinHood3000]

I agree--guns seem so pointless sometimes. I once read about a man who brought a gun to a school board meeting. Fortunately, he checked with the proper authorities to make sure it was perfectly legal, registered the firearm, etc. (he seems like a decent enough guy), but really--who needs a gun at a school board meeting??? This isn't 1880s America, for cryin' out loud! The Wild West is dead and gone!

On a hopefully lighter note, at least with a bow you have some idea of the immense power you're dealing with. Pulling backwards on a little trigger belies the horrors the action can inflict on the lives of others.

I love the law. And i also love the fact that now, when I hear something about a case on the radio, I can place it.

What should I think?

[AimusSage]

I think you should think whatever you feel like thinking. I know what I think, I think it is impossible for me to see the other side of the coin without either turning it over, or using a mirror to see the other side indirectly.

[adilyoussef]

We look at the mirror to see ourselves, but we see just a reflection that we make of ourselve. We pretend to see but in reality we only creat an image of what we would like to be. That's why, I think that a mirror is the pure lie of life.

[AimusSage]

I dunno, I usually just flip the coin, it's a lot easier to do then finding a mirror. But really, I do not consider the mirror to be the pure lie of life, if anything, it is you who creates the lie. The mirror is just a reflection, and the reflection itself tends to be genuine, it is the mind that perceives the reflection and distorts it, that makes it a lie.

[adilyoussef]

So my point and yours are but one. That we creat an image of our selves to hide the reality of what we are. We wear clothes to hide the reality of our nakedness.

I think I should go to sleep 'coz I getting dizzy.

[Ryduce]

If I could make them dance on the paper it would definitely get an A.

[Themis]

Now I really wonder what your project is about ... "The history of the dancing bananas"? :brow:

[AimusSage]

So my point and yours are but one. That we creat an image of our selves to hide the reality of what we are. We wear clothes to hide the reality of our nakedness.

I think I should go to sleep 'coz I getting dizzy.

The reality of what we are is the same as what we see, here the reality of others does not come into it. The lie is the comparison between our reality, and that of others. So when we look in the mirror, what we see is real to us, it is not a lie, only when we compare our own view with that of the rest of the world will we see differences. And that is what the mind does, compare things. That includes our own perception. The result is that we do not just see ourself for who we are, but also how others perceive us.

I could say a lot more on this if I wasn't so freakin' tired, so time for bed.

[adilyoussef]

If we look at ourselves years ago, we will find a change. Then we would compare what we were and what we have become. Then we look in the mirror and project what we should be. What we see in the mirror is the reflection of our bodies but not our minds. Here comes the distortion of the image that we percieve of oursleves. Facing the mirror we see a body that is real, but a mind which's created. For we change and seek change to find the reality of what we are. Through change we experience things to find the answer to "Who am I?" This question of identity is not saught in front of the mirror, but the mirror is the reflection of the new descovery we would make.

I think that this discussion with AimusSage is getting more and more intresting.

[higley]

Right now I'm thinking I should have worn different socks with these shoes.

[AimusSage]

Indeed it is interesting. :nod:

The reality of what we are is not a constant. It changes with growth, who we were 10 years ago is as much a part of our reality as we are now, or will be in 10 years. The difference is that we reflect on the part that was, while looking forward to the part of our reality that is yet to be. The question ‘Who Am I?’ takes a lifetime to answer, since who we are takes a lifetime to become reality. Someone can say after 40 years that he is a successful businessman, for example, but that is not all he is. He has been so much more, and will potentially be much more. As he grows, so will his reality.

The mirror is a tool for reflection. Looking at our self in the mirror means looking at who we are now, who we were, and who we can be. The distortion isn’t the body we see instead of the mind. Our reality is both our body and mind. And through the mirror it is possible to see both and reflect on their change. The mind is the part that sees the most change and growth over the years.

The mind can easily be influenced by the views of others. This also shapes and reshapes our reality. If you tell someone often enough he is a genius, he is likely to start believing it. He makes it a part of his reality. This happens in various degrees of severity, from barely noticeable to extremely influential. This is the distortion that occurs within our reality. It doesn’t make our perceived reality any less real, but what we perceive as a result could be defined as a lie, since it is not the same as what we would see if their was no other reality interacting with ours, which would create a ‘pure’ and truthful view.

It should also be mentioned that when different realities do not interact they will become further misaligned. An example of this would be a ‘Crazy old hermit.’ Someone like this will see the world around him from a different perspective. Causing those that visit him to think him crazy. Different. While in actuality to him you are perhaps crazy and different.

To conclude this, our interaction with other realities is what shapes our own reality. What we perceive is not just what we see, but also what others see. The answer to the question 'who am I' will not depend solely on our own reality, but will also depend on our interaction with others.

I am thinking about a pirate joke I heard, since all the pirate today... heheh

"Say old man" the young 'un asks at length, for the rum is good and fear and rum are strangers, "say, how come you only have the one leg, what happened to the other?"

"Haar-haaaargh!" the pirate returns as pirates are supposed to do, "I got that there out in the Arrrrtlantic I did, when this ol' shark begins a quaaaarel with me, haar-haaaaar. He got a mighty feast out of my port side leg I can tell 'ee"

"Gosh" remarked the young man, though he may have expressed himself more crudely, "you don't say, a shark bit your leg off."

"Haar-haaaaaar, young 'un, I do say"

"And your hook, I see you lost a hand?" the young man went one regarding the fearsom iron appendage that took the place of five digits

"Haar-haaaaaaaar lad, 'twas fighting the King's own men that happened. I were boardin these here tub filled with gold, when up pops His Majesty's tars and well, one swiped it clean off with a cutlass, before I dives into the sea and swims for me life m'boy and errrscapes to a treasure island"

"That neatly sews up the Hackneyed story" the young man thinks, "Almost"

"And your eye, old timer" he says aloud, "in what tale of daring do did you lose that piece of vital anatomy."

"Haar-haaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr" cried the pirate, "I gots that on account of a seagull ****tin' in me eye!"

The young man, used now to tales of terror and fight, is a bit non-plussed.

"Seagull **** lost your eye?"

The pirate looked downcast

"Har, well, 'twas only the second day after I got this 'ere hook!"

Was real to the extant I believe it then
But as you said through other's we come to know

To see a body so real and a soul filled with terror
To know who I'm is but when
Death knocks at the door and makes me scared like a hen
