Sounds a bit like Chi, which I'm studying to some extent. It should be easy to stay safe on the 13th. It looks like piles of rain here that day. Interesting about a power month as this is my month and, I must say, it feels pretty powerful th…

What do you do when your feeling blue?
I found one of the most fascinating things through a life in which I decoupled from life more than once. One is quite defined by the relationships in which one exists. If one steps out of those relationships, it becomes much easier to change who o…

The friends part is really tricky. Because meeting people and hanging out with people is not the same as making friends and can be a total disaster. I used to let anyone into my life because I really didn't give a fuck. I ended up with a who…

What do you do when your feeling blue?
Gosh! Everything. And, I make it as hard as possible on myself by doing things like never looking at the keyboard and some pretty crazy exercises I made up, like keeing all fingers on the keys while playing a five-note scale with each hand, as wel…

There's a song, you know. It may seem corny but It works. "Pull myself up by my bootstraps" seems to be the essence of it, really. "Water off a duck's back" is pretty close to the mark, also. Actually, nowadays, pla…

Conspiracy Theories
The conspiracy theory that I favor was orginally put forward by E.E. "Doc" Smith in a series of scifi books called "The Lensman" series. In this series, billions of years ago, two galaxies collided. In one, (our galaxy - the go…

I actually thought that there was no advertising allowed in every country except the U.S. until the advent of satellite/cable (yeah, I go back to the antenna-only days). That is one of the many huge advantages of the web. They can advertise all th…

I really think you are right, Kat, you should stop watching all of those things. What's the point? If there is some evil order running things, there's not a whole hell of a lot that can be done about it, so why fret to no avail. Good gr…

Thanks! I'm really looking for on-line viewing, so it sounds like The Week is out, not to mention I'm not about to pay for any news. And, hahaha, don't worry, UT, I can only stomach the news about once a month. It's worse than…

Well, if you're lucky, Kat, UKIP will go the way of the american Republican party. As they became so arrogant as to "come out of the closet" and tell the Americans what they really think, they have been just about destroyed. God, I …

Any recommendations, then, for British papers? I kinda like the Guardian. And, please correct me if/whenever I use British/English improperly.

"tread softly", actually but, yeah, the concept that perception is reality has a lot going for it. Though, as you say, you'll still run into putzes here and there. Can't be avoided.

That's something that really drives me crazy about language. To me, French is the most beautiful language in the world and I can sympathize with the French for having their language chosen 2nd International language. I would guess that, while…

Actually, about the easiest languages to learn are supposed to be Korean and Italian because they are both phoneitic. Each Korean character is actually a phonem. What's difficult? Depends on what you know. Chinese is a pain in the ass for a…
