*obligatory squeebounce*

I wonder who's honeycomb supershake that is in the fridge?? I want it.

Shell loved the bouncing Tigger, Lachlan was a little scared of it tho. Ah well, when he gets a bit older I'm sure he'll love it, heck I was tempted to keep him for myself!

Karaoke tomorrow night - yay!!!

I didn't even get through the first book

The writing style is terrible to wade through, for me anyway.


Holy shit, you're Akasha! Deadly, beautiful, and
some would say psychotic. Stay away from me.
o_O!


Which Anne Rice vampire are you most like?

New Project

Meet

Lofty

Trying to crash my computer (not like it's tough)

Rainy

Mooching up to my bowling trophy. I don't want to ask why...

& Twinkie

Trying to get a better look at the goldfish.

3 custom bait ponies that I cannot bear to part with because they have such personalities. Due to their oodles of charisma and the fact that dragging them everywhere won't hurt them much, I have decided that these will be the three travelling ponies from now on. Expect MANY more pictures (and hopefully a website) soon. :)

Shit!!!

Was meant to unplug the charger at 2:45, it's now 6:15 and I just remembered.

I hope the batteries are okay.

Stupid thing, it needs an alarm or an auto shut off or something.

ICQ - eat my shoe

GAH!!

What the heck is up with ICQ lately

after a while it refuses to maximise, then when I do manage to maximise it by right clicking and choosing "open ICQ" it won't minimise!!!

So I close the damn thing to get it out of the way. Occaisionally when I re-open it all is fine but usually the window has shrunk and I get the same unable to maximise/minimise problem. Half the time it won't let me resize the window either.

Actual ICQ still works through all this, I can chat and stuff, I just have an annoying window sitting on my desktop cuz the stupid thing won't minimise.

We invented why

Goddamn I need the book of this Evolution series. So I can read and ponder and read again. This is really making me think. I have a feeling it may change my entire attitude about some things.

Tonight I learned about memes. Memes are are specifically human. Whereas the rest of the living world is shaped by genes and their evolution. Humans have changed. You've probably heard me say before that I believe humans have stunted thier own evolution. Well this episode gave me a bit of food for thought. Humans no longer use genes to evolve, we use memes, we mimic others and learn, we use complex language. The fastet transferred and "best" memes are the ones passed on. A scary thought was also mentioned about the fact that the most uneducated people will have the most offspring (because the educated know about and use birth control.) But that probably doesn't matter seeing as humans don't evolve that way anymore anyway.

But one of the most mindbending parts of this concept is that genes are tangible. It's a nucleic acid, a sequence of protiens, with a good enough microscope I can see it and I can see evidence of it in many simpler experiments. But a meme, that has no tangible form, but a like a gene it seems to be controlling us now. Maybe we are no longer slaves to the nucleic acid, but slaves to some other bizarre force that has no physical substance.

In which case, maybe there truly ARE gods that are not just our creation. No, that doesn't make sense. We created it in the first place, but now it DOES control us, and our evolution. We haven't stunted our evolution, we've CHANGED it's mechanism. God that's mindblowing.

We create something, then are controlled by it.

Maybe we are heading towards no longer being physical beings.

But HOW the heck are we doing this???

I read a brilliant interpretation of this song once.

Let me know your interpretations (hint - the one I read had a lot of relevance to my last few posts)

My shadow's
Shedding skin
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.
