I saw this article in the Current Events News board and wanted to share it with you because it's interesting:
From Newscientist.com:
Most suicide bombers anywhere in the world appear to be normal. Study after study has shown that suicide terrorists are better off than average for their community and better educated. They are also rarely suicidal in the pathological sense. Ariel Merari, a...

The philosopher Epicurus once said:
"Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not."
Thomas Aquinas said:
"The most hopeful people in the world are the young and the drunk. The first because they have little experience of failure, and the second because they have succeeded in drowning theirs."
Ponder that.

9. Squat over a hand-held mirror for an hour and a half.
8. See if they could finally do the splits.
7. See if it's truly possible to launch a ping pong ball 20 feet.
6. Cross their legs without rearranging their crotch.

Holy shit!! I need a new apartment, new roommate(s), new job (I'm so broke, it's fuckin' ridiculous!) - and only a month to find it all!!
Yeah, so I'm stressin' a bit. Ideally, I would love to find another place in OB, but damn, the prices of apartments around here make me wanna cry. I simply can't afford beach living. *sniff*
Whatever shall I do?...

This is an interesting psych article about why some people see colorful "auras" around their loved ones - a rare form of synaesthesia.

It's 10:00 on a Monday night and I feel so lonely. Fireworks from Sea World are crackling right outside my window, and the happy voices of my neighbors are cackling down in the courtyard. It's just my little cat and me here in my bedroom.
Most days I'm happy with my life, and everything's where it should be. Then nights like this happen... a hollowness...

the key to getting over those feelings (i have them too) is not filling them with someone or something but working on ourselves so we like (love?) our own company and thus don't feel the emptiness when we are alone... it doesn't hurt to have a med or two to stable it out either... fuck it, i'd rather just hang out with someone i like too.
noone03:
no worries, i'm pretty sure we all get those feelings from time to time.... if not we all, than at least me.... so youre not that alone, even if it feels that way sometimes.
i saw the fireworks last night too. not a bad show. anyways, have a good night. and don't forget to smile.

Your geniune talent will find its way to success.
Hmmm, let's hope so. I am a unique snowflake, dammit!
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never...

The sun melts everything into puddles... even my skin feels like it's melted off my bones into a pile of steaming mush.
Jack Kerouac rescues me from the heat momentarily, with his ambling tales of being on the road, exploring an unforgiving landscape with its lashes of adventure and unturned corners.
I am restless, anxious, yearning for something I can't name. Something fresh and new....

thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to have someone feel what i write. sometimes it's hard for me to express these things that i write in the normal everyday paths of communication, so if someone reads them and gets them, it feels really special... and your response to my newest words, well

I couldn't sleep. So I got up and wrote a poem. This one is somewhat dark, but hey, that's the mood I'm feeling at the moment.
walk through desolation 7-16-05
the alley is grimy,
silent,
vacant,
exposed like naked skin
under the restless
roaming of my eyes.
it reeks of lonely lives
led by empty people,
littered with the ruins of self-destruction
and even greedier...

sorry things have been so difficult lately. if i could be of help, i would. no worries though, things will work out sooner or later. they have a funny way of doing that.
hope you had a better day today. if not, try to smile anyway.
