We look so hard that we forget where we are.
There is merit in a greater understanding.
But when we forsake our future for futile focus,
how much do we gain?
How bout making some tea from those tea leaves?
Go sit on your porch, stoop, whatever, and just fucking forget about everything for awhile.
Tune out, and tune in.
Silence can be very enlightening.
everything in moderation.
The tea you mention is a good chaser. :p
no doubt.
In my professional life I have to always be constantly reading into things and looking for patterns, trends, reasons, etc.
And so I've got this time off this week.
And so I found myself yesterday thinking so hard about how I should spend my time, what should I do, how to maximize the time off.
I realized, I was focusing too much and that I should just let go and just be for a few days. do whatever feels right.
When I was in Mexico, there were no TVs, no 'Net access, and no cell phone reception.
Just me, the baja coast, my family, and bottles of wine, beer, and tequila.
It was incredibly relaxing just sitting, and staring off into the distance.
I hear ya Rev, especially about focusing SO HARD on what I "should" be doing with my downtime.
For me, I think it's healthy to try to focus on being action oriented and making "progress" - because I have a tendency to go into zombie autopilot mode with my days off. Just sort of cruise the web, play video games, shoot the shit, and all of the sudden it's Monday and I didn't really feel like I spent my time well.
I had a major personal revelation regarding this last year. I identified this state (which I call the Void), which is basically my robot. When I'm in the Void, I'll eat ramen noodles rather than walking to the corner store to pick up food. I'll watch entire commercial breaks because I'm too lazy to surf. I'll check my e-mail, then the message boards I read, then my e-mail, then the message boards I read, back and forth, with no direction or energy. I can pass hours just idling. When I try to remember what I was doing during that time I have a foggy spot. There was little stress, but it wasn't really that entertaining.
And after I've had a lot of GO GO GO time, that idling is reallly good. But I'm just now rising out of a rut I recently realized I've been in for months. And I want to escape all that voidtime.
But that's all just me. I applaud your tea leaves and your just being.
Well, see, that's the thing--there's Void, as you put it, and there's RWHN's just being.
Doing the whole staring at commercial breaks, eating ramen, surfing the net aimlessly thing doesn't really do anything FOR you. It doesn't do anything AGAINST you, either, but you do nothing in the end, as you covered, Cram.
On the other hand, taking a cup of tea and taking a bath, or sitting outside, or just laying out in the grass or something... That's actually unwinding you. Because even when you're mindlessly disengaged from things like commercial breaks and the intertrucks, you're still running your mind, and you're not actually making any progress on detoxing, as it were. Sure, you're not exerting yourself, but you're not giving yourself a break either.
At least, this is how it works for me. I can spend hours in front of a computer or TV, but when I'm done, I don't feel any more relaxed. Whereas an hour with a cup of tea at the beach, chilling on the jetty, listening to the waves and watching the world go by... That's so freaking good. Highly renewing.
Of course, I might be pulling shit out of my ass right now in regards to what RWHN was going for or how other people see it/take it, but so it goes.
I don't know. It was something I just felt in the moment. But I think it applies to many situations. My downtime is just once scenario. And even that situation is different for different people. My wife likes to garden. To her, sticking her hands in soil is mindless, and she can tune out while doing that. For me, sometimes it's writing, sometime's it's music, sometime's it's just sitting and staring at nothing.
But as far as my OP. It was a thought about wanting so badly to find meaning in the universe that you forget to be you. Sort of, like BIP to the extreme, if you'll pardon the meme.
So you realized that it is really easy to get mired in a mundane existence, so you strike out to find meaning elsewhere. This idea, of course is good and comendable. But, there's the trap of carrying it too far, to look for depth and meaning everywhere. To get so focused on this quest, that you end up forgetting yourself anyway.
So, instead of studying the tea leaves so feverntly, just make some tea out of them and relax for a bit. Just to kind of keep your bearings and to keep grounded.
I love tea so much.
I think I shall go make some now.
Imperial Gunpowder (http://www.westpointmarket.com/store/product/SF-03-072/ImperialGunpowder.aspx) is a reasonably good tea.

While I was doing security on seventy hour weeks this paralysis took up all my free time too. The internet is not relaxing. What I used to do to just let go of everything was to go back to the countryside and stay with my mother, if I felt like it I would go for walks and stuff, if I didn't I would sit in the back garden and read or talk to someone.
Playing games and fucking about online keeps you in a strange hazy concentration mode, and makes me feel like shit after a day or two.
I would just like to say that last night when I got home, I made a giant mug of tea with loads of honey (I'm a heathen like that), got into comfy clothes and lay around on my bed with noise-canceling headphones on listening to music.
It was absolutely fabulous.
I was ten minutes early to work this morning and I feel great. Yay for respite!
I hope your respite is kicking ass, RWHN. :D
After I take care of some business this morning, I'm going into the basement, plugging in my guitar, crank it up to 10, and "relax" in a bath of feedback and distortion. Perhaps I will record it as well.
Please do.

Please do.
Yeah, so I did. Except, MySpace won't allow me to upload a 15 minute song to my site. I will have to upload it somewhere else over the weekend.
Respite? What the fuck is a RESPITE? Where's my motherfuckin respite? Drink some fuckin tea with some honey in it? There's a fuckin war going on right now. Motherfuckers are dying and shit. Yea when i go home on leave it's the same shit, and the same stupid questions? You ever seen a dead body? How many people did you kill? etc. People congratulating me for my service. Congratulate your garbage man, cuz he's doin it too. All the shit you dont wanna do. cuz you need a respite from: Wake up, do your office work, go home, and be fuckin fat and nasty. My favorites are the hard-asses who are talking about how they'd love to be in the military and kill hadjis and towel heads and rag-heads and the sand-niggers, you ignorant fucks. I'd love to kill so-and-so. Take a life, talk to me. Shoot someone, talk to me. Kill someone with a knife, talk to me.
All these hard-asses for all they're worth would cry like little bitches. Make it through your day where you're so slick u play solitaire, post witty shit online, make sure you can maintain your SANITY, just escape. Escape the evil guy, and the hum-drum and those intellectually inferior to your Goddess filled brain housing group.
So go to the day spa and get those gay little cucumbers on your eyes so u can get some U-Time and unwind. OR develop yourself a combat mindset or a tactical mindset. The only the thing that will bother you at that point will be the people who still whine like you people do right now. Don't impose your views, yea haha Bullshit. Morality is one big GREY blob, right? There's no right and wrong lifestyle. I'm telling you what you are doing is wrong. What i'm doing is right. Yea i said it. Some dumbass sitting at his computer screen right now is thinking. WELL that is just your opinion, buddy! Who are you to say this and that. Well it's fucking me and I'm Discordian.
So skate all you can. Get your break from a break. Cuz in reality when you make it home you're safe from Bill Lumbergh.

Congratulations, you are a gigantic, overly confrontational, annoyingly self absorbed douchebag. The world would most likely be a better place if you killed yourself, assuming you're not a very clever troll, which, knowing these forums, is all too likely.

I have better things to do than troll. I'm here so i can discuss with people that have that one thing in common with me the Goddess. As far as respite is concerned, everyone gets a break, or gets to do some leisure activity. It's just that i'm not afraid to offend you mister handicapped man. I am confrontational... and? Don't the older, more experienced, salty posters on this forum incite or antagonize new people just to see what they are made of? I antagonize people wherever i go. I do it to size you up. Just like it's done here, to see what a noob is all about.
So when i say that what you choose to do for fun is stupid or "gay" cuz you like to get facials and do the tea drinking cucumber thing, and you respond the way you did... nuff said. Just like a cabbage, i questioned your little lifestyle or pattern or whatnot and you call me a douchebag. I'm not offended, cuz i realized that these memes have a little self preservation mechanism that causes the host to be offended when the meme's survival is challenged. I know your interests are typical to those people who i consider soft, but you can be soft all you want, Cuz "George's Finest" say you can ooh-rah!
So when someone that doesnt like the American way of life confronts me with "you guys are evil and ungodly," i can say, "Fuck you"
too bold, didn't read
I think the bold one misinterpreted the OP. I seriously don't recall ever saying anything about hanging out at the spa and getting facials. My post had nothing to do with any war. It had to do with focusing so hard on X that you forget to live your life. All I'm saying is from time to time you need to relax and just be. If you want to be tense 24/7, have at it. RWHN, doesn't play that game.

The American way of life
is eye cucumbers and related faggotry. What did you think you were fighting for? Our freedom? No, the current war is being fought for the freedoms of the elite, like GWB and other cheerleader types, to be able to keep (and add to) their spa visits, and ranch homes, and yachts. All the while, shifting more of the tax burden to the less fortunate. If they were fighting for
our freedom, then Bin Laden would be dead, gas would still be $1.47 a gallon, moderate muslims would still respect us, and Saddam would still just be wishing he had WMD's.
To paraphrase Jon Stewart, "We just signed a deal to give 20 billion dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia. Don't worry though, a full 20% of the 9/11 hijackers were not from there."
You are fighting for the freedom of Bin Laden to repeat his behavior. So that the public can be even more easily controlled via fear and bs. <---Should go to the "I called it" thread.
Or maybe I am wrong. What the hell do I know?
Oh yeah, Iraq didn't attack us, Al Qaeda did. Meanwhile,
Iraq = fucked up
Al Qaeda = operation capacity back up to pre-9/11 levels (NOW, ALSO AVAILABLE IN IRAQ!! Supplies limited, void in the green zone, must be 18 or older to ride this ride)

I joined so others don't have to, and so American people can continue to do what they want, for the most part. Once you live life in the USMC you realize what you can get away with as a civilian. It's like looking back on childhood. I want to preserve that innocence for my family and friends.

I understood just fine. Easy and to the point. I brought up war. When you're stressed out just remember that someone has it hundreds of times shittier. So don't focus on day-to-day petty stressors, just brush that shit off your shoulder and be thankful. Relax? I don't remember what that feels like anymore, but i can just have enough fun to outweigh the bullshit. You should too. OOH-RAH kill bodies

is that why your font-weight outweighs the average bullshit?
I dont think this guy should be written off so quickly just for the bold type (which is kind of annoying), or the generally arrogant and confrontational demeanor, I mean he does have a point. Which is better than the average troll that we get around here.
Of course, I dont think that killing a human being is a prerequisite for being taken seriously. People in the military sometimes have this attitude that we civilians have absolutely no concept of reality, and dont take the current situation seriously (which is of course 100% correct all of the time). We civilians often have a preconception of people in the military, being that they are generally either highschool drop-outs who joined because they had nowhere else to go, or else that they are misguided jocks that get hard ons for assault rifles (both of which are also 100% true, all of the time.)
If things would have gone differently in the 2000 election, I probably would have joined the military. This was pre-911, but the fact remains that I felt at the time joining a military with Bush Jr in the white house would have been a grave mistake, which it would have been. Less than twenty four hours after the towers fell, the executive powers were trying to form an entrance strategy into Iraq. No matter what the reality is over there, I think we all have real and valid reasons for our general attitude of distrust towards this administration. Although this topic hasnt been overtly political thus far, so maybe I'm on the wrong tangent here.
Anyway, I dont really see a reason to get pissed off about any of this nonsense. It seems obvious to me that this guy is putting on a tough guy act to get a rise out of us, but rather than address him seriously, we're obligated to complain about his font.

It has nothing to do with the "questioning my lifestyle." I know how I'm living (and it is rather suburban and boring, but that's mostly because I'm too young to be living on my own), I'm comfortable with it, and I, to a certain degree, agree with your ideas. Many people are living their lives in ways which are ultimately too sedentary and contemplative, and I'm not here to deny that. However, it's the fact that instead of posing questions, you decide to start shouting your views as be all end all truths that pisses me off and gives me reason to believe you're a douchebag. And to be honest, one of the things I hate the most in any human being (or bad attempt at being human) is "sizing people up" and antagonizing "to see what they're made of". Living your whole life in confrontation (or preperation for confrontation) is quite possibly the most obnoxious, animalistic, adolescent behavior I can imagine, and it disgusts me to see douchebags like you acting like you're somehow better than a pile of muscles, organs, and testosterone.
So, fuck you, and the bold you rode in on.

Good one. Substitute any other minority in the place of Discordian and I guess that's what makes you NOT a racist or some other kind of hater. What does tolerance have to do with it? just cuz i'm Discordian, i don't have to tolerate you. But nm accepting people is what makes you Discordian :boring:
And I didnt say just weigh or consider weighing new shit, but being able to ACCEPT something contrary to what you know to be correct.

Why would you accept something contrary to what you know to be correct? Unless they are both correct. Which does happen.... But if not, wtf?
You are speaking of doublethink again...which, I think, is supposed to be cabbage-like behavior, necessary for Orwell's dystopia. Is the opposite true? If so please explain.
n00b-disease variation #3: telling us how to be a "proper" discordian.
and in this case it means we are supposed to accept and weigh all new SHIT (because yea, everything's permitted man!)
especially if it's contrary to what you know to be correct (because yea, nothing is truuuuuuuuue)
btw, i tried to find out, but this "thing" he's talking about? what we are supposed to accept that we consider not being correct? what he's been blabbing about for the past three posts .. what IS it, i couldn't find that bit in his boldness? or are we already arrived at the point for arguing about arguing with the occasional "no you can't use THAT in a discussion or you're no real diskordjun" ?
QuoteI am confrontational... and? Don't the older, more experienced, salty posters on this forum incite or antagonize new people just to see what they are made of?
ehehehe
you'd be surprised. the new people usually antagonize themselves. it's just that we get such an influx of people who think they're weirder than their cat, or they know better about discordianism because they once ate a whole PrincipiaDiscordia while living in a dumpster for three months, that you *hardly even notice* the posters
with half a brain and using it not being antagonized one bit and just start fucking contributing or saying smart things instead of stirring shit in boldface.

Can you do something you know is wrong? Can you love 2 people? Can you hold a firm moral stance and accept the behavior of others which does not fit in your moral spectrum. Can you be morally and idealogically opposed to something and do it of your own volition even if it is not necessary? Is there any evil or goodness you cannot accept? Think about that for a little at least rzast can approach me in a non-hostile way.

so that's why you wrote "

is what makes
us DISCORDIAN." [de-emphasis added], referring only to yourself?
QuoteBut i know the font... it's kicking your ass.
totally.
if you want your posts to be read, better make them easy to read.
things that make your posts less easy to read:
- writing in all-caps
- writing in all-italics
- writing in all-bold
- writing in small font
- writing without paragraphs
- writing incoherent streams of consciousness
- writing dada
- etc
this is not trying to diss you, this is serious advice. all these "styles" make text harder to read, drawing attention away from the message towards the packaging.
but you seem to have made a conscious choice to direct the attention of the readers of your posts to the packaging (bold) of your message.
why is that? a test, perhaps? to see if these discordians can step over their "preconceived notions" and pick out the message from your packaging despite you going out of your way to make it harder to read?
(i'm just guessing, maybe you have a perfectly fine reason for this)

option one is annoying and overly dramatic, I don't need to showboat my beliefs, also had you lost track when you got to option two? why would anyone mention that. But while we are on the issue, though I find how others go about stuff interesting, I would hardly subscribe to their way of life.
If I agree with something that makes sense, I would do it because it makes sense, I admit if someone is preaching at me I will be a bit more hesitant to listen, but, (referring to your above option) I would hardly define myself on anyone else's views or in this case, disagreement with them.
If you think the first option is how a "true discordian" acts you might have missed a few points along the way, discordian does not mean making your boss think you are a nancy when he asks you what religion you are(it might be why you do it, but not it itself). I generally explain it as a religion based on rationality, getting over personal hang ups, and not actually having a god interfere. The couple of Christians I have said this two have gone "well dont you believe in a higher power to guide you" or something to that extent I simply say, "I have seen no evidence to show it, if I do one day I will consider it" and it generally shuts them up. I have never had anyone get weirded out when I explain discordian stuff, with the exception of my uncle who could not get over the name and said it brought negative images to mind, but he is presumptuous .

Point?
I love to see Uber school people.
I wish I had those skills when I was 15.
I like it too... But trying to tell this guy anything is going to be like trying to convince a brick wall that it's actually made of gelatin...
I still say that Pope Ludicrous or whatever his name is, totally misinterpreted the OP. All I was trying to say is that it is good to tune out once in awhile and tune in to yourself. It's great to want to save the world and everything, but how the hell are you going to save it when you are burnt out?
Don't you realize that because some people have more stressful daily lives than YUO, you're just being a pussy if you decide to take a day off and chill out?
Or better career advice. One or the other.
