    Music while you are reading or writing. Life's Theme Song?

    Yeah, I believe so. It's coming up on ten years since I would've last seen it, so I tend to lose some of the details. I'll PM you so that everyone doesn't have to read the antics of GG.

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    Exactly. The change was inside you, not outside you. You're right to point out that it's not other sources although I realize you were being sarcastic. It's the change in your perspective.

    Music while you are reading or writing. Life's Theme Song?

    Oh, man. I haven't listened to GG Allin since high school. I had actually kinda forgotten about that. I remember watching a pretty sick video of his. Anyway, I can't listen to anything, especially the TV or talk radio, but music just slows me down. According to my psychologist's test...

    Kurt Vonnegut

    I've now read Mr. Rosewater and Cat's Cradle, and I'm halfway through Slaughterhouse Five. I have to say that Vonnegut is like crack for me. I don't want to put it down. I like his insights, his humor and his way of centering a story around a serious topic in a wacky manner. It's both...

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    It may be that you're looking for what you've learned to think will bring you happiness. It may take someone or some event showing you something different for you to realize that happiness can come from other sources.

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    Sorry if that sounded snappy, Motokid. I don't have that long for lunch, so I was forced to settle for short and sweet. You know I'm usually MotoMouth! er... MotoKeys? whatever I feel like you're being a little dismissive of challenging your ideas. You said yourself you just weren't...

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    Just because people try to understand themselves and humanity doesn't mean they are going to turn into hermits and never enjoy another moment. Why do you associate one with the other? You interact everday with yourself and with other people. How could furthuring your understanding of the...

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    This was just supposed to be a thread about understanding for people to express and challenge paradigms. I can't say the way I feel any better than I did in Post #35 . Motokid, some of the ideas here lead to the ideas you've posted about. You should enjoy the moment, but not turn that...

    Has anyone read...

    Bill Buchanan Great thread! Just what I needed! Has anyone read anything by Bill Buchanan? I know this guy, and I didn't know he was a writer! I'll see him tomorrow in the gym, and he's getting harassed. If you've read any of his material, let me know what you think.

    Bright Light. Big Questions. (split from bobby & irene)

    If everyone in the world were to start doing exactly what is being done here in this thread, this nameless search that is not a search, temples would be built, monasteries would pop up, and there would be teachers (more experienced people) and followers (less experienced people). I think it's...

    Tattoos and Piercings

    Around here, a lot of guys think if a girl has a tat across her lower back, then she likes to have sex in a certain position. ;) I don't share that sentiment and have no personal experiences to prove one side or the other.

    your parents birds and the bees talk

    I didn't get a talk; I got a locker room education. I don't think a single talk is sufficient anyway. Something more along the lines of what novella was saying would work better. According to Men's Health, the average guy discovers masturbation at age 11, and from a short survey of my female...

    Take me out for "special" local food

    Jenn, chicken on a stick is a big seller at parades and festivals here. It's usually just fried chicken though, no veggies. I've got to stop coming to this thread. You guys are talking about frying everything, and I'm just getting hungrier. About the fried candy bars, I've seen fried...

    Ray

    The scene where the preacher says that Ray Charles is going to hell for using "God's music" took me back to a different era. My mom had told me about when preachers had told her to burn her Beatles albums. She said she had scene many Beatles albums go up in flames, but somehow, hers made it...

    Online journals?

    I enjoyed your blog. That's something new for me. I've never seen someone illustrate the full power of PS like that. The Deviant Art page was a cool link as well.

    Online journals?

    I have one, but I don't write to it often. I'm trying to go too many ways with it, and I would like to focus on something.

    Take me out for "special" local food

    That sounds awesome. I love spicy dishes, especially Asian and Indian dishes. One time, I was at an Indian restaurant, and the Indian waiter refused to give me a spicy dish. He said, "For you, hot is too hot." I think he made that judgment on my skin color because he served it right up...

    Take me out for "special" local food

    Yeah, my girlfriend's roommate is a corndog lover, and I have to admit they're pretty tasty. My food would be fried catfish and hushpuppies. I've tried catfish and hushpuppies in a lot of different places, but my home town has the best. The hushpuppies are huge fluffy rusty orange nuggets...
