it's most likely written by chris btw

reading first issue of Sandman

enthralled I hope the rest of the series is this brilliant

I thought it was pretty over rated. I read something like 20 issues.

It kinda reminds me of those Clive Barker marvel books like Saint Sinner, which I thought were a cool idea but a bit of a mess in execution. This is legit though I like it. A nice break from reading The Adventures of Tintin, at least.

[QUOTE=SugarCoatedSour;18903549]knowing retires your thought. Thinking that you know is a deep deep rabbit hole that turns into a spike-pit...not in some terrible life ending way, however you may realize that you don't like to see yourself reflected in that particular light or you don't like to relate to some personality trait you see in someone else...that's when you take some steps back and for some people this is a process of comfort as it allows them to recede and hide away. Giving your thoughts too much gravity will see you becoming eliminative, cutting out all possibilities until you give yourself no choice but to take the next thing and hold it till it dies in your hands....sad no?

but yeah, with all that said....we're extremely resilient...there is nothing absolute in this world...flip those words about; 'no'-thing is absolute, where as things stand in time and degrade. So do our ideals and impressions if we do no more than set them up as a static backdrop to our waking lives.[/QUOTE]

the gap between self-awareness and implementing behavioral changes based on that awareness is a deep and yawning chasm that i am leaping over today.

holy shit, dude :lol:

spot on

if you can detach yourself from your mental conception of time then you won't have to measure the distance of that gap. It will simply be a snowballing effect, so trust yourself and don't resist...that way if changes are to be made you won't feel so taxed or think that you have to backtrack to go forward.

on the flipside artistic people tend to believe that they have to be unhappy or miserable to wring those creative and unique emotions out of themselves.

time is like a cock without hands, it's void, and falccid

hands without a cock

how revealing

i don't think its a measure of time across the gap, although time is a component in behavioral change (insofar as repetition takes time and neurobiological changes take time). the chasm was more a measure of will, a feat that seems impossible and is only accomplished by simply setting oneself out to do it and then doing it. but i agree, once i start doing it, and gain momentum, the actions become simple, without all of the mental connotation of how [I]hard[/I] it is.

its like with quitting smoking, i just told myself that im never smoking another cigarette again. it doesnt matter what rationalization, justification, desire, bargain, or whatever that my subconscious flings at me, im simply not going to do it. and because of relativity, not-doing something is the same as doing some-thing

as for the creative melancholia, i agree with you that it does seem to happen, especially in me, as writing and music are two of my most expressive and cathardic outlets. however, thinking that you have to be in a negative mental state in order to create "art" is an artless thought, art can be realized in any instantiation of the self. besides, art created in a melancholic mood sometimes veers too closely to "journal entries" (for me at least). furthermore, i recorded my debut album during one of the happiest times of my life. anyway, i guess what im trying to say is that i see your point, but don't want to trap myself in a negative state of being, especially when im trying to change. i need positivity, almost an excess of it, so that i will not think that everything is so expensive, and bitch and groan about everything. but rather, i'll take each opportunity gladly to do something i wouldn't have before.

oh my god this is fucking embarrassing

ooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOoooooooo

fuck

i am completely owned

dude youre too lazy to use your intellect for anything other than ripping on others

you can't even stay in school

i made the dean's list while i had an opiate habit

anyway, its not as masturbatory as you'd like to think, my life is going through some really big fucking changes right now, im reordering my entire belief structure and set of priorities. im taking "what i want" (getting high, instant gratification) and "my protracted teenage egomania" down a few notches and replacing them with "rewarding and fulfilling relationships with my siblings and friends" and "looking at situations and considering others and what they want as just as important as mine"

that may sound obvious, and it may even sound like i should naturally mature that way. but when you grow up in a vacuum (i was 12 when my parents pretty much quit paying attention) you get some pretty fucked up patterns of behavior and priorities. im a drug addict. you cant justify being a drug addict without valuing yourself way above everyone else.

you could benefit from a similar self examination. have you ever wondered why you spend so much time on the internet showing off how you can be so tastefully and eclectically condescending? why don't you ever put effort into anything? because you might fail? and if you fail when you really tried, well thats a big hit to your ego. so you drop out before you fail, so that you can assure yourself that it was bullshit and you never really tried anyway, it wasn't worth it.

i could be off, but what i said took more thought and effort than
