    Our future is in the stars.

    So is our past, literally. We're made out of supernovae.

    Also, in approx 5 million years, the planet is going to overheat and explode, so nothing really matters, really..

    Come out from under the table everyone, it's billion, not million.

    That what many people see as community spirit, I see as suffocating small town mentality that stifles creativity and progress.

    That we all actually exist. Or maybe that I am dreaming all of this. Or that we're all sharing the same dream.

    We exist man! Me - the guy in my head, I exist in this huge, huge, huge universe, bigger than I can even fathom.

    This thought comes to me every so often and makes my stomach flutter a little. Then I go back to my life.

    Boards people didn't realize much!

    I don't know how people walk around with little to no imagination.
    My imagination is me.

    As a previous poster said it was like as kid I was suddenly just became aware or control at 4 years old, and this seemed to wax and wane, drop in and out until I was fully turned on at age 7 or so and still am

    Yet its those moments in between that feel like I WAS dreaming and were I was almost downloading instruction manual for the life ahead in terms of what I was reading, watching,hearing. I loved nature and space/dinosaurs as a kid and those memories feel like me at my truest/strongest, even today years later. I still feel like a child when I talk about those things, despite the fact they're other things I love since. Its a pure, good sort of feeling

    :confused:

    Faith is believing despite all the evidence to the contary. Saying I believe despite the fact there is ZERO proof. I'm ok with that, if people are honest and keep it private, but realise how tenuous it is.


    Hope is the more true, useful, necessary form of the emotion. I hate how people have perverted the use of the word "hope" as well.

    There is no such thing as free will. We're all just aware of the thought process rather than directing it.

    I spend half my time thinking this and the other half thinking that we are not directing the thought processes in the present but we can influence the future ones. It's a toughie alright.

    That insects are born, eat, sht, breath, mate, fight, seek out food, operate in a little society, die.

    They may even be top of the local food chain. King of their environment.

    And they can do this in some distant jungle without ever encountering a human.


    Or may even encounter a human yet they're several levels of cognition below ever recognizing or perceiving what it is.

    I once wasted a lot of a weekend in my cousins' house when I was quite young playing some football game on the Sega Mega Drive. I won the world cup with Ireland after many, many attempts.
    At the time I wondered why my Irish team was all black lads. I put it down to some strange, overlooked error in the game.....



    Years later my mind, for some reason, wandered back to that weekend, and I realised I had been playing as the Ivory Coast.



    Ooh ah Paul McGraths (plural) say ooh ah Paul McGraths?




    I'll get me coat....

    When people say "he was going ape-****", it's just a funnier way to say "he was going bananas", because ape - **** presumably smells of bananas.

    This **** is bananas
