These Dylan song posts are almost becoming a bit of a series!
Well, what can I say, they reflect the moods I'm going through these days so well. I'm feeling a bit more chipper today.
I ain't lookin' to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you, classify you,
Deny, defy or crucify you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby,... Read More
Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me,... Read More
I'm in a difficult and confusing place at the moment. There's some upheavals going on in my life which are leaving me feeling a little disorientated. And I've had a lot of thoughts and feelings and stresses that I've been bottling up for a while now. And last night I got a lot of it out of my system.
Soulshaker is currently sitting about 5 metres away from me blasting Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton out of her laptop. A few minutes ago it was The Bellamy Brothers "Redneck Girl"
Maybe their afraid it might be some rabid tread full of rasist/cripple jokes lol
I can't believe a humour group is private wtf? the only ones I've come across were the animal rights group (which is now open) and the conservatives group (their active thread was "no you cannot join" as well )
You could always pitch a straight "humour" thread and had a sick jokes section
Aw that sucks. Maybe you should ask them if your group idea fell into the former or the latter, because seeing as there's a Rigor Mortis group I doubt a sick humor group would be inappropriate/unsuitable but ya never know. If it's the former, you can ask which groups and there ya go.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog saying that I felt like I needed to do a bit of soulsearching.
I'm skeptical and I take a lot of pride in that. Critical thinking IS important, and I'm passionate about it. I can't bear the thought that my reluctance to speak out about something may cause somebody to go on to make a bad... Read More
In general I think most people avoid critical thinking because it takes too much effort and would rather just be spoon-fed info from the TV. I've really only "come out" as an atheist in the past few years because I wanted to avoid the sort of conflicts it may bring with people I know but the older I get the more I want to express my opinions. Might not make me any new friends though.
Hah. At least you make an effort with people I just have this terrible arrogant side that points out the flaws in people's beliefs and justify it by telling myself that if it were any other matter they had not thought through entirely logically/rationally then I'd be right to point out the flaws. Ho hum...
Saying that, it's not like I'm trying to convert them. More than anything I just like knowing people have thought about their decisions thoroughly and have a good reason to believe what they do.
Nothing much new to speak of really, but I didn't want that last blog post still hangin around there. It gives the wrong impression. I'm feeling better now
I'll start this post with a quote from somebody for whom I have a great deal of admiration and respect.
I have avoided positioning myself squarely as an anti-psychic debunker. Life is too short. Perhaps I don't really care quite enough about the issue. I may not like what people like [Derek] Acorah do, I may even get heated on the topic if you get... Read More
Ahh well, as long as something as innocent as mascara prooves a distrction from your soul-searching long enough to make you laugh, that's great. Damm January, always has that effect of making you question everything.
New year has always been a bit of a funny one for me. I've always wondered... what exactly are we celebrating? A change of number on the calendar? Nothing really happens! It's not like Christmas, where traditionally we exchange gifts and spend time with family, etc. Instead we go out at night and get absolutely shitfaced, cheer loudly when the clock ticks through midnight, send...
