Maybe in many cases he realizes that he doesn't really love her - too late, and it finally ends in a divorce. Sad, the children. How many of them really love their pets more than their partner?
But how can a guy wake up when he is in a relationship before it's too late? By isolating himself from her for a few weeks? That would work if he is actually mesmerized by her gorgeous looks and not actually in love, ie love her for her body and not for her self. By forgetting for a moment how she looks and actually think about her as another person, he may remember the more negative side of her.
It is hard to actually tell when you're in the early stages and you're madly in love because of the chemicals in your brain. It is practically impossible to differentiate what you're feeling from the more shallow sort of love. Which would mean that every relationship is a gamble, whether you say that to your girlfriend or not doesn't make a difference.
It is pretty hard to control it though. Not impossible, but close to it. Life is complex enough as it is, throwing love into the equation doesn't help at all. Even though I believe in keeping life simple, love is the one major factor I have difficulty with. It's a great dilemma. On one hand I know it's bloody complex and will complicate my simple life tenfold, on the other hand, well everyone knows what's on this hand.
Like Mark Twain once said, 20 years from now I may regret what I didn't do rather than what I did.
I am very unwilling to give up the simplicity of my life. I've already stopped lying most of the time and prevented myself from having more desires. If it gets any simpler, then I'll be no different from a dead person. But if anyone ever threatens me with death, I'll be immune to that. I guess I can say I don't fear death - it just further simplifies my life.
If I ever get into a relationship, all my plans for a peaceful and quiet self-euthanasia when I finally get seriously sick will be for naught. I will be adding another chain to my soul and that is quite a price. If I ever hook my neck to this chain, it will have to be very, very rewarding. More rewarding than what I'm seeing right now with other people.
Sometimes I wonder why certain couples are couples at all. Others I wonder if they're together only because they both extremely insecured. Soulmates of sorts, lol. Huddling with each other because they fear they would stay single forever if they don't stick with each other. Better than nothing, that's a common philosophy.
I love this musical loop. Warning: May make you very hungry. Weebl always makes good flash stuff.
Profiteroles = cream puffs and it's true, they shit on sausage rolls!Another Weebl musical loop about waffles.
Wouldn't you be happier if you did? I know I would.
And here's a fan-made flash of MK vs DCU. Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Mainly SubZero vs Batman and Scorpion vs Superman. The graphics are a little poor (especially SubZero's sprite) but the concept was nice. And I like Scorpion.
Come here!Yet another loop by Weebl, I Love the Internet.
Me too.And for anyone who knows the game Guitar Hero, here's Bike Hero. No screenshot.
Dad links son's suicide to 'The God Delusion'
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81459
A New York man is linking the suicide of his 22-year-old son, a military veteran who had bright prospects in college, to the anti-Christian book "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins after a college professor challenged the son to read it.
As I've said before, some people just can't face the world alone. This guy was a devout Christian until he read the abovementioned book, became an atheist and committed suicide. Who says religion is bad? Some people need to be delusional to stay sane and alive!
But it is hard to believe that coincidences do happen. Probability doesn't seem to affect how things happen. Before I played Urban Dead, I never knew that a 25% probability of finding an item means you can click 40 times and not get it! Seriously, the game gave me a whole new perspective of how events with slim chances of happening can still happen. Once, I clicked to search for a Syringe over 30 times to find only 1 even though the probability was 12.4%, which means I should have found at least 3 by the 30th click!
But no, life doesn't go that way. Another time, I found 5 Syringes in 20 clicks. That is how it works. But some people just can't see it that way - they think that something has to be affecting their chances so that rare events happen.
The thing is, probability only works for large groups. Reminds me of psychohistory again because I've always thought that it was a mix of mob psychology and statistical analysis.
I can't remember how many weeks it has been since I've stayed here without going home. 4 weeks? Or 5? This proves to me one thing - my home is where my computer is. I can stay anywhere as long as I have my own computer and broadband internet access.
Pork broth. I made pork broth for dinner. After weeks of canned food and canteen food, I made something light for myself. Used nothing but half a tablespoon of salt and a small piece of pork and a teaspoon of chicken stock. Can't remember the weight. I bought a piece of lean pork and cut out a quarter of it (the only part with a little lard on it) to make this broth. The rest, I sliced it cook them piece by piece so that they're prefectly boiled.
Perfectly cooked pork is fucking pwnage if done right and the meat is fresh. You won't even need soy sauce to improve the flavoour. Of course, it's all guess work. How long you put each slice in the water depends on how thin the slices are.
Then again, I've always loved boiled pork for some reason. But it has to be just right - completely cooked but barely. And eaten when it's hot or it will dry up and harden. So I can say I had a little pork steamboat. Sliced lean pork in pork broth.
Same with beef, but beef is rather expensive compared to pork. In fact, cooking with beef this way will leave a freakin good broth at the end and I'd use it if not for the price and my budget. And it will be much faster too because it will be like dipping each slice of beef in the hot water for a few seconds before eating.
But the broth took me a whole day to make. Put in 750ml of water, salt and the pork and heated it till it boiled. Boiled for a few minutes, covered it with the lid and turn off the heat. I repeated this process for about 3-4 times before dinnertime arrived. Made my room hot though. Had to open my door a few times for ventilation.
But it was worth it. I will do it again in the future.
Unfortunately, my non-stick pot has finally become high-stick. Everytime I cook rice in it, I have to scrape them off or scrub the bottom really hard. Oh well, I knew this would happen sooner or later. I'll just have to cook other things after the rice to soften the rice stuck to the pot. I have been cooking my hot chocolate after cooking rice lol. There are usually only 1 or 2 bits of rice in my chocolate, so it's totally fine. The rest usually dissolves and doesn't do anything to the flavour.
After the chocolate I'll have no choice but to wash it. Rice may not have a strong flavour but chocolate surely does. However it will be easier to wash without the hardened rice stuck at the bottom. I can also just boil water in it for a while, but making hot chocolate would serve 2 purposes.
Just a few more days to the final paper - Fluids Mechanics!!! There will also be 2 papers before that but Fluids is the module that makes me worry the most and want to see the most, because it is the hardest subject I'm taking this sem and it's the final paper.
What waits for me at the end? Red Alert 3, the first 3 seasons of Tenchi Muyo! anime, all 14 episodes of Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure anime, bacon(!!!!) and perhaps some travelling.
You know you want some! I just need to figure out how to roll the bacon around the cheese while it's still hot.Can't get the Waffles tune out of my mind! Must... keep... listening.....
This is cool. A definition of nihilism. According to this essay, I'm an social/existential nihilist.
A direct way to describe it might be 'detachment from everything'.
Nihilism can appear very complicated because in the present moral milieu it's necessary to describe it in the terms of negatives and being against this or that. It's about accepting what is and working within that framework to generate a lifestyle of efficacy and natural perspective. Too often our modern hi-tech planet makes us think that if it looks confusing and it takes a Germanic scholar to analyze it then it must be complicated. What I'm saying is that you don't need any of that shit. You don't need to believe in God or Beelzebub or anything else that can't be verified or tested in any way. 
Without a higher moral judge, nothing beyond life goes punished or rewarded. The fundamental moral quandary is that in order for moral rules to have validity they must have an ultimate arbiter, otherwise right and wrong dive into confusing waters of relativism. That ultimate arbiter has always been God, the final judge, where the buck stops, where even Earth's most evil and wicked run amok with free will get their comeuppance. The Bible says the Earth is the Devils domain (Isaiah 13:11 & Revelation 12:9, even though the Bible also says God created the Earth, Genesis 1:1). If that's what everyone expects, then that's all it will ever be. As a Nihilist I say it's our domain and we can make it a hell or a heaven. But as long as we prejudge the decision absolving ourselves of responsibility then it probably will be a realm for the Devil.
Hence the difference between passive 'social' and active 'political' nihilism is that one accepts whatever happens within futility and pointlessness while the other destroys/creates meaning and value. Which path a person takes is a personal decision within the limits of ability and that means one does have choice; existence is not predetermined or fatally ordained. However default answers and the compulsion of conformity shouldn't be overlooked. Reality is contextual.
The nihilist is unorthodox, a tradition-violator, driven by the inner-force, and not attached or tied down by contemporary superstitions or beliefs.
Being a nihilist is not about futility, self-destruction and giving up, although those feelings are inevitable they are absolutely not the final product, merely a critical stage. Remember that as long as you are alive you're changing the world if by no other means than your sheer existence.
The rest of the stuff was too extreme for me. The writer is a radical political nihilist and is trying to convince more people to see the truth. I don't care if other people see the truth. Let them be, as long as they do not disturb me. That's what I mean by being a social nihilist.
To me, there is no point in trying to convince everyone that all the values they have is artificial and futile in the ultimate picture. I'll just live and die quietly because there is no reason for me to do anything else. Meanwhile, I'll have some fun and live comfortably till the end.
But for most of the stuff about Nihilism, reading them is like hearing an echo of my thoughts through the years. Here's a better link for anyone interested in the website because it's a summarised form of all the important stuff.

MJ converts to Islam. Not much to say about that, but worth a mention.
