Slept all day today. Feeling very lazy and guilty that I missed work. I deserve a good spanking. Why do I sometimes just want to curl up in bed and retreat from life? It's like I just want to go into hibernation and when I wake up everything will be good, a new beginning. I wonder about what is truly important to me. What do... Read More
I've heard it said that you need to be sufficiently lost in order to find yourself. What the fuck does that mean?
I might sleep in the garden tonight. Maybe I'll wake up knowing something I don't know now. Maybe I'll wake up with spiders in my ears and worms between my toes.
20 things I like about myself:
1. I care about other people.
2. I'm creative.

9. I'm intellegent.
10. I can talk about interesting things.
11. I'm a vegetarian.
12. I've written a... Read More
Is happiness something that's "out there" - something outside ourself which we must somehow extract from the world in order to obtain it? Or is it within us, something internal that exists, potentially, in all of us and our only task is to find a way to bring it out?
Everything I read on this subject suggests the latter - that happiness is generated from... Read More
Neurotransmitters... don't think about it that way. Do what you need to do to make it easier to be happy, but you're correct; happiness is within all of us, it's a matter of control and decision.
My sojourn into this strange new realm of internet communication continues. When I first stumbled into this site's chat room in September last year, I could barely follow the conversation. In fact, I couldn't follow it at all. It was like coming into a room of 30 people all talking at once with me bouncing around not knowing who to listen to or what to... Read More
I want to meet some of the people i have met on this site - meet them in the flesh. What is happening? Am I approaching the limits of what internet communication can provide? Is there some sociological barrier past which one cannot travel further with internet interaction? Socialising on the internet is slower than real world socialising - it takes longer to get to...

I was just going through my old old school journal entries from before i was even a member here and saw this one. I thought it might be something that you might want to read. It talks about an internet relationship that started between me and someone else. I wrote it uo on December 29 2002. There is another utterly massive rant that folows it up and basicaly is my life story of all important events that happened in my post adolescent life (pretty much all the ones that put me in the position in life that I'm in right now). I think just by looking at the years that they were written you can get an accurate answer to your question you posted in my journal a while back asking "You do this every night?".
We can break time down to the minutest amounts - atomic clocks which can measure time to the millionths of a second. But what if you went the other way. Measuring time to the largest amount - seconds, hours, days, years, centuries - if this is taken to the extreme, you would come to one single unit of time that encompasses the entire lifespan of...

Marijuana can enable you to see the inner workings of the psyche. It can peel back the layers of the subconscious and allow you to observe the minds usually uncounscious mechanisms of thought and emotion. To experience this can be both frightening and highly self-enlightening.
Einstein said:
Strange is our situation here upon earth.
However, there is one thing that we do know - that Man is here for the sake of other men, above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends. And also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Things which are alike in nature grow to look alike. The speaking stones have lain a long time looking at the sun. Some believe they descend with the lightning, but I believe they are on the ground and are projected downward by the bolt.
Being in the chat room there, you see pretty much everything I do outside of work. I work 12hrs a day 7 days a week most of the time. That's why I live the majority my social life in a chat room and elsewhere here on SG. Also you see what my hours are. Although I have big troubles getting to sleep and therefor they will vary, today I woke up around 10am and got into work a half hour later. I usually wake up and head straight there, sometimes not even spendding the time to shower. I work there for 12hrs plus er minus and head home. So tonight I got home at 11pm. A bit late to go out and socialize with any groups of people. Because of that, online communities are the only ones that are practical for me to engage in. Meaning that it also is the only way that I have to meet anyone for any type of a love life. There's other factors such as my living conditions for the past 6 years that have made it impractical to have someone live with me or me live with them. (a huge rant would be needed to explain it all to a point where it could be really understood, espcially if it were to be in detail)
I've been living like this since the internet became what it is today back in the mid to late 90s. Hence my saying to you that I'm an excelent example to study. Plus, of course, I'm very willing to be studied. Some people don't like it because they don't like thinking they're a guinnea pig, but me, I'm a bit of a self proclaimed scientist myself (and pscychologist, although a better term would be behavioral enthusiast), so I don't mind in the least.
