589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Perhaps, but that is not my point. Every choice you make limits your options. Free will and freedom are not the same thing. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | but without free will there are no options; just the illusion of choice exists. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Free will always results in loss of control. Every choice further limits your options. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | ah yes - destiny. feh. free will, baby! |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Oh, don't worry about that. Grades were turned in a long time ago. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | but i haven't even looked over my notes yet! |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | If it helps, red, I was put here to test you. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | thanks for your insight angie. and the tattoo had two distinct meanings for me when it was done. one is not so important now (okay, hell, it was ben - back to our regularly scheduled conversation) and the other being my desire to have clarity, balance, and moderation in my life - sometimes i feel close to being there and other times it's like i haven't moved an inch for years. there are no answers to be discovered but a path that each individual can follow - each path is as different as each individual is. but we can learn from others in their journeys - from their terrain. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | red - perhaps you could start by thinking about the design on your back. It seems to have been important enough to have it permanently tattooed on your body. Unless your interpretation of its meaning applies to something completely different. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | That's oen of the reasons why I believe in God...'cause I feel like too much happens that seems to be meant for the enlightenment of myself and others. I know there are many people close to me who, like me, would not be the unique and thoughtful individuals they are today if not for some of the trials they endured and subsequently learned from. Personally, I have worked toward getting my intellect and emotion on par through lots and lots of therapy. Therapy really helps me to make the connection between those two facets of myself, and helps me to see the enlightenment I can obtain through my painful experiences, instead of just wallowing in the so-called cosmic injustice. I could say that all the emotional battery I endured from my peers growing up was unfair, unjust, wrong, and nothing but bruises and scars on my psyche. But somehow my downward spiral to the bottom of my emotional barrel showed me that I can go up, that if I want to keep living, I have no CHOICE but to go up. And my intellectual side has made that upward journey a lot easier. It's wonderful when you start to transform your pain and anger into joy. It's not always easy, but damn it feels good when you get there. I may not be able to do it every day, but I'm getting better and better the more I practice. And it makes appreciating the simple yet immense joys of life and love so much easier and necessary. I spend a good portion of my day in a state of humility and gratitude for my past pains, becaue I honestly believe that I would not know the joy I know today without them. And having been to the bottom and back, when you come out on the other side, suddenly your priorities are so much more clear. Losing everything emotionally helps you so much to realize what's truly important to you, if you allow yourself to reflect on the loss with more of a sense of evaluation and new perspective than in anger and resentment for having had to lose everything in the first place. I slip sometimes, especially when I'm hormonal, so that's why I continue to go to therapy...because it keeps me in check about what's really important, especially when I start to fret about silly incidental things like my weight and my daily stress at work, things that at first seem overwhelming, but, in the big picture, are nearly meaningless. The truly important things in my life seem to have a way of working themselves out. I don't know if I came even remotely close to answering your question, but these are the thoughts that came out of my head when I read your post, so I hope you enjoy them. :) |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | really, do you ever feel like there are people or situations in the world that exist to test you? i know that claims alot of ego because that would mean that somewhere in the universe someone or something is concerned about your individual enlightenment - but it does seem that way sometimes. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | i suppose my question is then how do we get the two to harmonize? |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Unless emotion and intellect are in harmony, it is unlikely one knows at all. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | why is it we can know something so firmly and completely intellectually but still be unable to comprehend it emotionally? |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | from salon's cary tennis: Do not fear change. It is better to try to achieve something good than it is to try to avoid something bad. Both paths have risks, but only one can lead to happiness. So do not simply coast along thinking maybe this is as good as it gets. This is not as good as it gets. It gets much better than this. You need only the courage to act. Take strength in knowing you have come a long way and you are doing the right thing. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Q. In a recent Answer Man, you stated Johnny Depp based his character in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' on Keith Richards. While this is true, he also based his character on one more influence: Pepe Le Pew, the skunk from Looney Tunes. Depp says... 'Yeah, I kind of incorporated the idea of Keith. Not like an imitation of Keith or anything but just that wisdom that he carries, that sort of confidence that he has, that attack that he has. So I got that on one side and on the other side I took a little bit of this cartoon character that I've always loved when I was a kid, his name was Pepe Le Pew. Yeah, the skunk. He smelled horrible, but was absolutely convinced that he was the ultimate ladies' man. You know the guy, he'd fall in love with this cat and the cat quite clearly despised him but Pepe Le Pew sort of read it as, 'Oh, she's just playing hard to get. Oh, she's just shy.' ' Sean Leslie, Salt Lake City, Utah A. Now that it's been pointed out, I can see the resemblance. And to think I said he was merely channeling a drunken drag queen. That's why actors get the big bucks. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Q: I've noticed an interesting trend over the last few years: You can sometimes tell who the 'bad guys' are in a movie or TV show by what computer they use. For instance, on '24,' all the bad guys used PCs while the good guys all used Macs. The same holds true for 'Austin Powers,' 'Legally Blonde,' etc. Why do you think Apple always gets the plumb roles? I'm of the opinion that Hollywood loves the underdog and has a close relationship with Apple computer, whereas PCs seem controlled by a megalomaniac in Seattle. Are there a lot more Mac zealots like me in Hollywood? Does Apple pour sponsorship money in big-budget studio movies? Justin Toomey, Athens, Ohio Ebert: Since many Windows machines look alike, Apple is one of the few manufacturers that can gain by product placement, which accounts for some of the Macs. It's true that the movie industry and creative types in general prefer the Mac. The novelist Tom Clancy sends e-mails with this signature line: 'Never ask a man what computer he uses. If it's a Mac, he'll tell you. If it's not, why embarrass him?' |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Usually as the format of the text suggests. As in: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah *shrug* That kind of means, 'This is what I'm saying, and after saying it, I'm shrugging, most likely in real life as I type it.' Out of curiosity, why is this so important to you? I never really gave it much thought before now. And Tree, I had originally typed the phrase phonetically, but I thought Ben wouldn't know what I was talking about, so I went with the actual spelling of the words so as not to confuse anyone. Johnny Depp is a fine example of anything, I agree. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | ok, i think i understand your definition of the 'shrug' - but what about the timing aspect that i mentioned? is the shrug occuring within the post, or a moment later, as the format of the text suggests? |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Umm, as a New Yorker, I must make an alternate orthographical suggestion: 'fuhggedaboudit.' But I heartily second the use of Johnny Depp as example. For anything. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Ben - watch 'Donnie Brasco,' specifically the scene where Johnny Depp explains the meaning of 'forget about it' to a coworker. It's sorta like that. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | hey angie - a netlanguage question for you. when you write '*shrugs*' at the end of your posts, what emotion or action are you suggesting? is it an 'i don't know', an 'it's weird, but what can you do?', or is it simply meant to suggest the body language of shrugging, its meaning left for the 'viewer' to determine? for that matter, is it meant to overlay the flow of the entire post, or not until after you're done 'speaking'? in other words, should i imagine the 'shrug' amidst the text, or not until after? the format suggests the latter, but i'm open to ambiguity here. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Christine Todd Whitman sold her soul to the republican party. it was rumored that she resigned from the epa because of the dearth of information regarding global warning in the epa report. however, she came out on npr saying she wanted to spend 'more time with her family.' but that she was considering a run for the nj senate. so, it seems the republicans told her that if she kept her trap shut, they would back her for the senate. i don't bravo is trying to be known as the 'gay' network - they are just going for shock value (with boy meets boy) and for advertisers (queer eye for the straight guy). gay men have a lot of disposable income because normally they have no alimony or kids to deal with. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I don't know if it's Bravo's official stance to be the gay network, but they certainly are the snooty art snob network, which kind of lends itself to the whole gay thing. *shrugs* |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Two off the wall and totall non related questions for the off the wall and mostly non related people on this Blog 1) Is Bravo known as a gay network? (ala Lifetime for women and Spike for men). I was flipping around the other day and saw that Bravo is showing reruns of the West Wing. I saw adds for a couple of shows, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Boy Meets Boy, or something like that. It just seemed odd to have two shows like that on one channel if they weren't trying to be known for it. 2) What happened to Christine Todd Whitman? I heard something about the Senate confirming a new head of the EPA last week. Of course, Bush, in his infinite wisdom, pulled yet another Republican governor to fill the slot. So much for the majority of the states being governed by Republicans. I think half of them are now, or have been, on Bush's cabinet. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Meanwhile, headlines from MSNBC.com: 'Pedestrians swarm the streets ... In face of blackout, people cope' Well, I should hope they cope. What did they expect? 'In face of blackout, massacre ensues'? Also wondering what it means, exactly, that pedestrians 'swarm the streets.' Are they masses of chaotic, swirling dots? Are they agitated and feeling strongly aggressive? Are they gathering in larger and larger numbers, helplessly answering a primal drive? Or perhaps someone threatened the Queen? |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | This kind of thing continues to bother me. From darkhorizons: '...the official site reports that Anakin apparently has a scar in the movie but he does not get it in the film, rather the event happens in one of the books preceeding the film.' Okay, so now *another* book is canon? What the hell? Is this a movie or not? Is it a movie about people whose further adventures are recorded by unnamed historians, or novels about people who occasionally get filmed by some omniscient documentarian? If both the movie and the book are essentially the same thing, is the movie a better story because it was the one that got filmed, or rather does the book supply backstory that the movie couldn't manage, and if so, why not? I understand this is just a marketing ploy, but it raises profound questions about the nature of narrative. (Please note that I'm focusing on canonical texts that occur in the same world and timeline as a movie, or vice versa, *not* spin-offs of either medium that provide alternate adventures.) |
