Counter-intuitive is good. Should I put forth the effort to find that which i seek? Scarcity makes value and not being scarce takes it away. I hide different meanings in my post and irony too although many won't see it.

The question of all questions; are my answers your answers and my questions your questions? What do you seek, if you can't tell me this then your not looking.

Well golly I forgot the hymnal it being a religious service and all. Everybody slap a knee....

Yeah, what difference is there between the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Consider this; It's easier to stay out than to get out.

Not specific btw I had seen the other thread Mr. Largo seems unfortunate to be troubled.

Even taken to life itself, before coming in to the world no memory of that; looking towards death there will be no memory after. It's the thought of being out that troubles men.

Focusing my research efforts into humour now and it's just as troubling as most humourist are or become rather vile creatures although maybe it's the other way round, maybe well... another time.

Introduction:

I'm a priest well that's what says/ \ above. So yeah do you wanna hear me preach it. Can I preach it people? Hell how'd you know?

I don't even know. What's an Fnord, who's this Eris, what value I say what value is there; in the mindfuckery. I don't know, I haven't a clue!!! Nope not one has arrived yet. Let us pray.

Invocation:(don't bow your head and close your eyes or you won't hear it)

Prepare us to listen to the message about to be spoken here today. Let us now get with it! I know that someone will do it better but that doesn't stop me oh whoever will hear me. Oh I pray that somebodies doing it better will not stop me from my doing it worse; As the Prophet Kobain so eloquently sayeth; I am worst at what I do best and for this gift! Oh! I feel blessed! Have mercy. Have mer say, there I said it.

Message Today: Oh not that again!

Too many times In life we hear the same song; that song that was the greatest song ever heard by us. I say, the greatest song. It filled our spirits and gave us wings; maybe a little hearing loss. But, and hear me now. It rocked us, it moved us, it spoke to our heart of hearts or just made us full of excitement, we felt the power of the song. But, I'm not just talking about songs here, I'm talking about something deeper and more powerful my brothers and sisters. But I'll come back to that in a moment.

Then something happened to that song didn't it. Maybe it was played so much that it just lost it's ability to get us excited anymore. We'd hear it and oh yeah, Oh... not that again! Are you with me? You know what I'm talking about. If you don't well maybe I'm just making all this up. Let's move on.

Something new. When is the last time you did something new? Heard something new, tried something new out. Right? What's wrong with the old you might be thinking? Hell I don't know why are you asking me? Don't look at me like that. Did I get you? I got you didn't I? I didn't? Alright, so here's the divide between those that have been excited about it, lost interest and are tired of the same old same old. You can tell by how unholy one gets when the old song and dance comes up.

Are you listening? Here comes the good part, somebody elbow.. Yeah. Thanks.

Your unholy about that old dead horse, that old tired song and dance because your ready to move on to something else. Do we keep trying to learn how to crawl? Do we keep trying to learn how to walk? Start running!
Get excited! Who cares if no one else get's it. Don't explain it.

The Prophet Carlye says it best. Pin thy faith! To no man's sleeve! Oh where is something new to be said? To be thought of? To excite you not in the OMFG I'm going to F'ing die, but OMFG I'm going to do that until I wear it out, kind'uv excitement.

Don't pin thy faith to no man's sleeve. If he's wearing a sleeveless shirt or no shirt at all, just don't do it trust me. Oh, no! Don't trust me, that's the point. But brother Carlyle goes on to say. Don't you have two eyes of your own. Well don't you? Maybe your a one eyed man, a glass eyed man, I can't really tell? Maybe your a no eyed man but I don't think that's the point.

So what am I saying sisters and brothers well It's simple. If it's new to you then it's new. I can't tell you what you want to check out, do, listen to, say, think, drive, live in, move to, sleep on, or maybe just being still for awhile could be something new to you. I don't know. But, I know this If your being unholy and cranky then it's that time. No, no, no... I feel you sisters. It's that time to do something new. Learn something new. Be something new. If it can be put in the internet lingo, since this sermon is being transmitted for simultaneous access to all the free world today. Well after I hit the submit button that is, make a faq. Make a faq!

If your tired of repeating yourself again and again and beating that same old horse time and time again, but your just holy enough to want to leave a trial of your wisdom to point those new ones, as what is new is new to you and maybe the next place, the next face, the next pace will have a faq when you get there. Just point them to it, make a book, a then go wear something else new out. If the force is great then you'll be touched by some sense of finding something new. Finding excitement in a miserable dreary and dead horse world, with the same old damn songs, and the same old dance. Let us pray.

Benediction:

We are all peoples people, and from people we all came. Well most of us that is. Let's all find the source of our unholy crankiness and rid ourselves of the old tired song and dance's. Grant us the serenity to accept what we cannot change oh hear me now, and the courage to know the difference when we can get off our asses and do something about it. Let us pull in our horns best we can when it's unnecessary and forgive the horns of others and have the wisdom to avoid sticking our horns where they don't belong. Amen.

Todays message was on 'oh, not that again' Do you feel alright I know some of you do and some of you don't. For those that don't I invite you to say the my life is fucked prayer. I don't know what it says myself yet; but I'm about to write it: Maybe someone will come along and write it better; which is very possible.

:My life is fucked and I can't see how It could be worse than this at the moment.
:I need the strength to carry on in this god forsaken world of shit.
:I'm not asking for a fucking miracle here or anything just the basic needs that all human beings need.
:I know I won't get them unless I get off my ass because it takes effort to do damn near anything to better the situation and who cares about your situation more than you; oh really? You like being dependant and in someone else's pocket. Fine by me. You get what is given to you then.
:I understand there are no guarentees in life and guarentees are for suckers and well sometimes they are good but mostly. No.
:I solemly vow to realize I already have the answers available to me, because more than likely I already know what I need to do.
:I just don't want to do it. If I don't know what to do, then all I must do is have the willingness to sit down, look at the situation, think it over.
:If there is not enough time for this and danger is surely upon me I vow to at least not go down with a whimper, but with a smile on my face.
AMEN

From what I gather from the reply TR and not quoting is that the facts around your life are thus; immutable, unchangable, as simple as that.

I'm hearing this; your where you are ( in the sense of the picture that is your life ) and that's where you belong. If not then you wouldn't be there.

Sounds right by me, what I'm not hearing is the effort involved in getting where you want to be in life. Take the typical success story and behind it was a lot of drive and determination. No swerving to the 'no's' and 'you can't do it's'.

Reminds me of Wall Street (1989?) where Gordon Gecko points out two men on the street one homeless and one in a sleek business suit, he says to Bud " You mean to tell me the difference between that guy and the other is luck?" or something like that. Success effortless? Everything's insignificant so do nothing? Eating out of trash dumpsters when you could be living it up after some kind of paying job of one kind or another? ?Well...

I see you have Darth lots of excitement around the release of the last of the star wars episodes and taking into account what was said in the link from my previous post. Would you consider George Lucus successful? Taking into account the effort to put these ideas onto paper and then onto the screen. I know he had plenty of help, but yeah.

That kind of takes me away from the Determinism vs Free will argument, but the way I see this is fairly simple. Even if everything is determined and that's from the beginning to the end (not ruling out an infinite universe per se) but for the finite time that I'll be around like I said already here somewhere else, at least thinking your effort for something better makes living in an unpredictable world tolerable or something like that. Far as being a lunatic, reputations, character and getting in the boat? Well hell.

[copy people who are living lives you like]

I overheard this thing while watching CNN at a busy airport and listening to their conversation for just a split second and hearing only these words.

You belong where you want to be

That's not true but does it really matter where I heard it said, anyways it is probably important depending on what was said but I forgot to remember.

I don't agree with this for a few reasons. Damn who did say that anyways, you know the first one to say it. Why is that important anyways I mean how many quotes from these famous people were probably told them by some mechanic covered in grease and after bitching at them for a spot of grease on the side of the drivers seat or steering wheel said something really brilliant and never got the credit for it. Even if it did wind up in one of there books or published papers.

So yeah, I don't really know about this belonging where you want to be.

Like that old guy hitting up on the babies well at least as far as he's concerned at the local club.

What about the foreign exchange students? Talk about dislocation and disequilibrium. Well sometimes anyways, not that it really matters.

I want to be on the white house lawn roasting marshmellows?

Anyways, there's probably some truth in that statement, at least in situations where I'd tend to agree.

Someone I forget where and who said it but it went something like this, think like people who are like you and act like people who are like you, hang out with people who are like you.

I don't think they repeated thereselves as many times as that... oh wait. I think I remember where I read it.

Meme Update #32 http://www.memecentral.com/mu/mu0032.htm

The best way I know to reprogram your mind, and thus create a new reality, is to copy people who are living lives you like. Copy the way they think. Copy the way they see things. Try on new distinctions, new ways of being, and see what happens. Because this, my friend, is truly the final frontier.

Wonder why the mechanic said that? Anyways there it is; Emphasis mine.

The journey, the search.

1. Know what your looking for.

2. When you find it stop looking.

I wont presume to know but if I need something say an ink pen or
a sharp knife.

I can usually find these things. Then once I have found them I can
use them for what I needed them for.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People don't usually look for things when they haven't a use in mind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you need it for? The thing that put you on the journey, search?

Just things to ask yourself if you want to.

I don't think it's good to start something without having a reason for doing it. Which is why my reason for doing most things is because I have no choice but to do them or I wouldn't have done it.

Of course then someone else will come along and do what they do. If I grasp the concept of it, then it really makes things painfully obvious for what they are. Painfully obvious is what most folks will try to avoid, I'm thinking lately I'm just like eveybody else in that respect. Pain works in mysterious ways and the truth hurts, it might set you free but first it will piss you off.

Being myself and what else can I be? Maybe I try to be just like other people but then it's still me being like other people, and who were they being like?

Well someone hacked into the Internet Messiah forum a couple days ago and killed it.

Book burners? Again. I've thought about the solution to these types of
problems but I am just one mind in a sea of memetic programming.

I offered some solutions, but intelligence as the ultimate panacea is not
catching on.

Then someone cuts off someone's head, crashes a forum, digest a child, kind of depressing stuff but I'm leaning towards a realist school of thought.

But? Albinoblacksheep is still kicking along and many other creative displays of something not burned yet, although ABS comes up from other mentions here and an all inclusive list would take a gracious amount of bandwidth.

Now I'd like to leave you with something to humour you, but I'm having troubles accessing that grid at this moment.

Anger managment is the pathway to porcelian and mirrors that reflect and provide something for those unable to see their reflection something to think about, unless they are confused and attack the mirror. It happens.

Oh and hello we haven't met but there was a recent rash of nameswitch although It may have only been a slight irritation more than a rash. So then again who knows? I don't claim to, just saying what I wanted to say.

I don't mind a stutter if you have one. Don't be a blinker though. I don't like when people blink too much or squeeze their eyes. I feel like they don't want to SEE JESUS. Sorry I got excited.

Thanks Bella, I have no idea but that shit cracked me the fuck up!Q Doesn't happen that much. I want to know how they did that. Plus just randomly I'd start laughing again about it scared my family, I didn't explain. I couldn't explain.

Maybe they thrive on argument because no one is listening to them.

Maybe they have a point and haven't learned how to express it in a way that they can be heard.

Maybe I'll say what I have to say and then I swear I'll go away.

Ever play pin ball? You knock the ball around and it bounces off of 'things' goes up ramps and around and around.

Then if you get impatient and start jolting the machine from side to side and such it will TILT.

The flippers stop working, and the ball rolls down the middle. The reasoning behind that is not much different than letting yourself become to serious about the little ball and the score, to where you are damaging the machine the game is being played on.

No idea where that came from but there it is.
