"Don't even bother to ask me for a number, because you'll never catch up. Just keep crankin' em out."

"Do you realize your constant criticism is making me angry?"

Yes, there is an absolute truth. It's all happening right in front of us. The problem is, no human mind can ever comprehend it. The brain is a survival organ. It filters information the same way your kidneys filter your blood. Not only is it not complex enough to understand truth, it can't even find a language or conduit through which to begin ( Read more... )

Am I the only one who has a mental poop vent? Do other people have this.. place where all the random rejected data goes? Most of the time I ignore all of it but if I really wanted to, I could voice or type everything that goes through it. Now, I'm not just talking about dumb ideas or passing thoughts.

I can understand showing up early to make sure you have plenty of time to get snacks, find a good seat, etc and then seeing that there are more people there than you anticipated and end up waiting in a line. But coming before the release of a movie to wait in line? I'd rather just wait 3 weeks, when the people ( Read more... )

Some interesting thoughts while driving over the past few days. I think I may have figured out why I feel like I'm watching my life instead of living it, as I posted about a while back. It has to do with the bounds placed on the concept of self. Where do you stop? Where does the world start? My perception of the world around me has always been ( Read more... )

While I find it difficult to believe that this conflict doesn't exist in every sentient being on Earth, I do feel that rarely does anxiety have such a strangle hold so overwhelming as it has in me. It lives in me much like a parasite. While it does not ( Read more... )

I was just reading some articles about interesting objects on mars. I was thinking about how great it would be if we could just send someone there to check these things out.
