What about your cybernetic future? by georgeha (4.00 / 1) #1 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 10:49:26 AM EST

Your brain removed from body and inserted into a small mobile life support system, optimized for a street legal car that does a 11 second quarter mile?

Well, by blixco (2.00 / 0) #4 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 10:54:11 AM EST

I'd certainly take oil changes far more seriously then. And I might even have to get one of those cute TomTomGo GPS thingies.

yarbles ? by sasquatchan (4.00 / 1) #2 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 10:49:35 AM EST

Is that what you call your little man ? "Hey honey, wanna nibble on some yarbles today ?" Or is it onomatopoeia for the sound while she's nibbling on it ?

You r penilitically obsessed. by blixco (4.00 / 1) #3 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 10:53:27 AM EST

It's an exclamation from an old Annie comic. "Yarbles, Mister!"

Oh hey, by blixco (4.00 / 1) #7 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 11:07:21 AM EST

apparently you're right. And apparently the movie A Clockwork Orange stole an innocent line form Annie and made it into a nasty reference. Imagine that!

I was just trying to make a funny about naming body parts and yarbles.. (And I didn't know the Annie connection.. I thought her line was one of those "golly gee whizakers" kinda things..

"At least, I say to myself, I am optimistic enough to believe that I will still be alive after humanity falls apart and chaos reigns." --Blixco

Kudos to you for having the will to keep fighting! Get one for the Gipper and all that!

I have a question, if I may. Are you really convinced that its all gonna end? Regardless of the cause, (nuclear war, environmental damage, social chaos) is that something you really believe?

Or are you projecting your own mortality onto the whole of humanity?

And if you do believe that, why do you bother worring or commenting on it? It's probably nothing you can fix.

I think that humans are harder to kill than cockroaches and more tenacious then gravity. Will things change? Sure. How? I don't know. Furthermore, I don't bother to worry about it. I do what I know is right and encourage others. It may not make a differance in the balance, but there it is.

On a side note, you should see a counselor about your back pain and your thoughts on it. Getting some mental help to cope with the physical might make you happier.

Then again, it might be the drugs talking.

It's all gonna end, by blixco (4.00 / 1) #11 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 12:01:20 PM EST

but it's all gonna end all the time, has been all ending for thousands of years. Will it all end while I am here? Maybe. So why bother etc? Same reasons I don't off myself when I wake up in the morning.

In re: therapy, indeed. That's next, once I stop being in acute pain.

Hmm by Gedvondur (4.00 / 1) #12 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 02:46:48 PM EST

Well I guess my point was simply to relax and have a beer. I have a policy about not worrying about things I can't change. Those things still worry and on occasion piss me off. But for the most part I say "fuck it" and take care of my own bizness.

: Oh I know. by blixco (4.00 / 1) #13 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 03:34:18 PM EST

The thing is, the end of the world shit doesn't bother me....doesn't dominate my thinking. But i do have to be concerned with it. Lack of concern is what kills us.
And the other shit what wakes me at 3am isn't things I can't change. It's things I should have avoided.

When I was 19 by cam (4.00 / 1) #14 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 04:26:58 PM EST

I played in a pop band. We did a cover of Alphaville's "Big in Japan".

Don't bother by Forbidden (4.00 / 1) #15 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 06:02:04 PM EST

It's all going to end. The towers, the light, the sky. Every drop sucked up by the cold-hearted fire of social darwinism.

In the end, in the New days and the First days, it's a crap shoot. Place your bets, drop your pants, and 'pray.' With luck, you wont make it. With luck, someone else will have to do all the hard work.

And the genius is they wont even know why.

You once was.

Dramatic in the same way that the man by Forbidden (4.00 / 1) #17 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 07:24:05 PM EST

Who just rediscovered his daughter whom his estranged wife had put up for adoption back when he was 19, too young to have a baby, is having a fatal heart attack in his car on the way to see the eyes of his daughter for the first time in thirty-two years.

To the girl driving daddy's Lexus ten cars behind him, the guy driving a beat up rust bucket two cars behind that, and the man going hungry in the streets four blocks down so his children can eat, there's no drama.

It's some stupid car.

Sorry I was late for work.

No, I'm not hungry baby. Go on and eat.

No comparisons by blixco (4.00 / 1) #18 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 09:48:41 PM EST

without invitation to compare; the perception of that moment is only what it is, not what we compare it to be.

Hah by Forbidden (4.00 / 1) #19 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 09:50:05 PM EST

We perceive nothing but change, comparing what is to what was.

Without comparison there is no perception.

You compare by blixco (4.00 / 1) #20 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 09:53:53 PM EST

what you know to what you know. Everything else is conjecture, what you think you know. What you guess. You don't really know.

My life, whatever failings, is self-centered. That is an inevitable side effect of being one person. I can say my pain is greater or smaller than some random other event, and I'll be wrong. Because I can't possibly be right.

: You can't really 'know' anything, for certain by Forbidden (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Mar 08, 2006 at 10:12:01 PM EST

But I guess with a certain degree of credibility. Good enough to guess.
Regarding life, I don't think it's fair to call it self-centered. Someone who is self centered is someone who can't or wont empathise, yet you clearly do (or pretend to).
You are right, from your own point of view. Everything that any one person thinks, believes, does, or doesn't do is completely justified within thier own immutable point of view.
Unless, of course, they're psychotic.
