Cool Change

[Dimocritus]

So, I was thinking.

Before I stumbled onto PD, I was not feeling well, in the head and in the heart. I felt a hopeless, overwhelming sense of despair. I felt that nothing was new and nothing could ever change. I was stagnant and was at a point where I was just going to give up. I was going to go bury myself under a rock and die. Indeed, a heavy air hung oppressively over my head.

Then I made the discovery, which, honestly, was, quite possibly, at the top of my "most influential moments of my life" list. PD. I know, corny, but true, nonetheless.

The sense of helplessness soon faded as I came to realize that, at the very least, there were like-minded individuals out there, and there were activities and projects that have been developed that can be an agent of change. Sometimes it's a slow or small change, but either way, it puts some power back into the hands of the "little people." It helps to alleviate the feeling of helplessness.

Furthermore, I was feeling like I had lost my ability to learn. That, of course, was not the case. It was simply my own restrictive beliefs that caused me to be unable to accept new ideas. Since I've found PD, I am learning new skills in areas that I never would have been involved in if I had never stumbled upon this place.

To top it off, I've made friends. Now, I have interacted with people on on-line forums before this, but my brain was unable to make the connections from the on-line persona's to the actual people behind them. Like, if I couldn't see them, they didn't exist, or something. But as I sat in front of my computer last night, I was struck with a strange sensation. As if I was no longer in my room, but was in another place, a really cool pub with really cool people. Like they were actually there with me.

So, now I extend a big "thank you" to all of you crazy, chaos worshipping, beautiful, horrifying people, that without, I'd be as grey as an elephants ass.

END SAPPY MONOLOGUE

Or kill me.

Also, fuck you Kai

Dimo-
Fine for now.

The sense of helplessness soon faded as I came to realize that, at the very least, absolutely nothing mattered , and there is no meaning to life. It helps to alleviate the feeling of helplessness.

you dimo, I'd been thinking pretty similar thoughts, I think I got somewhere, especially with the kinda knowing people here even if you really don't.  I think it's because PD is so abrasive, it tears all the emotional armour right off.  It's like washing your face with hydrochoric acid, 'cause your'e all so damned abrasive and that's a really good thing.

Like the rest of the western world is quite happy to be nice and cosy in their bubblewrap blankets with the wool pulled firmly over their eyes, while the people here are reckelssly charging through that gauntlet of razorblades and swinging chainsaws that finally leads to really feeling again.  This place is like an oasis of rage and passion in a desert of mediocrity, and the spiders just skitter round the edges, probing but keeping their distance, 'cause when they get too cocky and take a step to far, they get those spindly little legs ripped right off by all the emotion, that reckless abandon, that razor-edged lust for life.

To summarize:  you guyz rock.

we are not just interchangable ip addresses!

the internet is a mass communication tool but it is also an individual communication tool. It IS cool that something emerges out of all this tap tap tap on the keyboard.


can't wait to meet you at the new england meat up, man.
