Although it is one of those weird things where people descirbe something as sick and that is apparently a good thing.
If I was to buy my parents house, and then my brother was to buy it from me, and then my parents were to buy it from him, all of this using the first home buyers grant, would that be illegal? I mean, it would save so much money...
Yea, I'm sure they'd have made it illegal, seeing as it is so practical. -sighs-
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot
There is no spoon
I should put a Subway in the garage...

I should get a driver's lisence, then a shiny Mistubishi 3000 GT. Yea. I should get to my 14th b'day first.

I want to finish my screenplay but, I'm afraid it's beginning to look irrelevant.

the whole boatload of sensitive!

The problem is not 24, but what people have within the skull, which is what eventually helps you understand what you watch on TV. There's not a single episode of 24 where Jack Bauer is depicted as someone who enjoys what he does. Actually, and if you look carefully inside the story, he pays a high price for his actions, but of course in order to see it you have to dive into the story's plot, and not merely to watch some bloodbath. It's as though we were saying that George Washington lead a revolution because he wanted to kill Brits. Well, I'm pretty sure that Mr. Washington was mainly thinking about what was best for his country, in a similar manner as Jack Bauer does. I don't advocate for violence, but how did almost every free nation become free? The character is not having a great time, as most of the founding fathers of every free nation did not have a great time during the killings they had to get involved in. My point is, you do what you do because you have to do it and not necessarily because you like it, or because you enjoy it, or because you want a reputation as a "badass". If our youngsters do not understand that they are being showed the price one has to pay for being a full-time undertaker, and instead they believe they are merely seeing an entertaining bloodbath by a "badass", then our youngsters lack enough brains to catch the purpose of the story, and that's not a TV show's fault. It's as though we blamed a book because there are people who don't get the book's plot. It's all matter of analytic ability.
By the way, "badass" is one of those words I hate the most. It has become one of those stupid clichés that get stuck into people's vocabulary just because they heard it somewhere, without really pondering about real meaning and implications.
I've so much work to do.

I'm just going to nod my head. I'd never seen or heard of it before in my life before this.

My whole existence must have been planned as some kind of symphony, digressing among Mozart's 40, Beethoven's 9 (or 5 too) and Nightwish's Ghost Love Score
OkayI'm just going to nod my head. I'd never seen or heard of it before in my life before this.
Yes.Okay
Ahh... Got it. My brains is processing things slowly today.

I am wet with sweat... something is at work
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Why? Why? Why?
This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
The same question I ask often myself... With no avail, of course.
