Have fun with the new premises folks

that was funny Ibis. I heard the song for the first time earlier this summer (about a week ago i think) but this is the first time i've seen a video to it

Heh, I never go to cinema either. They always pull up the volume way too high. Also reason why I don't go to disco or those music events.

As a result, I too need to wait a while longer for movies. In fact, I just finished a 51 year wait! (I wasn't born yet when it came out, but let's ignore silly details like that.)
I finally saw it yesterday, Forbidden Planet. I loved it. It had wonky sounds all-over, a flying saucer, a talking robot, impressive looking sidearms (funky laserguns called Blasters. Oh, now who said that Lucas invented the term eh?) and an invisible monster.

The monster is worthy of extra attention. For such an old movie, they did it brilliantly and I must say, even better than nowadays. Nowadays everyone wants Predator-style transparant blurs. There, you got footsteps slowly appearing, cranes being pushed out of the way, metal stairs bending under the incredible weight of the invisible creature. A model made from a footprint to reveal one utterly massive foot with giant claw. And finally to top it all off, radar signals that did catch it and a really large laserfight that finally lit it up.

Oh, and did I mention that the invisible creature had all the power a 30 km something cube filled with Fusion plants could generate?

Also a fun fact. When the crew wanted to call home for more orders, they first had to strip apart their ship to build a super-radio. Later they had to put it all together again in record time. Oh, and unlike most movies were decelleration is nonexistent, here they had to step inside glowing beams to survive the stop after a faster than light journey. Groovy.

I've seen that movie. Forbidden Planet is a good one, very creative and what not.

Beware the Id

War is over if you want it.

This Invasion of Florida?? You people are not secretive enough. I see that measely Pisces is attempting to gather forces in this ungoldy war ... but he and his cohorts shall not prevail. Florida is impregnable - although many many ppl become pregnant within iher borders ... we are afterall the honeymppn state.

Anyone who tries to enter Texas shall be brought before the firing squad..... anyone who threatens us will be bombed into submission by satillite targetted air-strikes. You can't block out the light of the Lone Star!

Rattttz!! I say rattzzz ... one of Pisces first recruits is a Texan and threatening the skys of Florida NASA with Houston control! I think we have negotiated with him by now though.

Damnution, that Pisces is one heckuva troublemakin' fish. I shoulda killed him off when I first caught him in my beak -- instead of getting fascinated by his little song n dance routine and then laffing at his silly fishy jokes!! Lookit all the touble I've swallowed now! Invasion of my beloved Florida... I must fly over and recruit the help of the African spoonbills and the Guamese flamingo flocks.

Well, that was your choice Ibis. I would have grilled the fish on the barbeque. If any of your birds are sighted in Texas I'll declare a hunting season and hand out the proper permits. But I won't let Pisces in my home either.

So you can see that I'm not allied at the moment with anyone.... Although I'm biased against fish.

Monsters from the Id! Take the IQ-boost, now! Yeah, I loved the revelation at the end. It really worked. The only character I didn't like was the girl. She was totally unconvincing. Oh, and the captain was alright although I hated when he suddenly kissed the girl all out of the blue. I mean, first he's pulling off a whole no-romance lecture. ,,Guys who travelled more than a year through space without....recreation and quality alcohol are unreliable around females. I am their captain, so I must keep them under control!"

Oh and Soulseeker, did you see the three men's collective evil grin when they first found out that professor Morbius had a very attractive daughter running around in a miniskirt?


And what's this I hear about Florida? Invasion, sattelite-bombardments? Hmm, I smell a chance to make money. Now who among you want to buy a moon fitted with several thousand fuson engines? Guaranteed destruction of every target you throw it on or your money back, accurate enough to hit a single leaf upon a tree. (and the rest of the continent)

North Carolina will join Florida's side. We'll dump sweet tea and barbeque all over Texas!

I hate tea, but barbeque is a different story. Well, this pre-emptive strike has cost you N. Carolina and Florida! I will get over my bias and join forces with New Zealand (I have an entire country on my side!)

F-22 Raptors will bomb Miami and Tallahassee (sp.), and I'll by Jack's moon-bomb. We shall drop it just off the Eastern Seaboard to hit Florida with tsunamis!

Sold, you can pay later. Oh and since you are the lucky customer with a random number, you get this fully functioning Deathstar III for free! The Imperials complained about an accessible reactor. No big deal I say. It's not like we've got any hotshot space pilots in the neighbourhood.

Oh, I'll just place defenses myself. The Imperial Navy has crack pilots of their own. I should be able to save on the energy bill by using only 1.1 percent power to blow up whatever is left by the moon-bomb. *cackles maniacally*

You Doomed everyone Dantrag, you and all you North Carolin....ian friends!!!

Well here's what Canada can offer anyone: since BC has plenty of Japanese Immigrants, we will use their technology know-how and ressurect the Albertasaurus... then equip them with lasers!

Top that!

Buster Machine number 3, fully functioning! Top that! (Also from Japan by the way)

I shall gather all the Final Fantasy VII nerds and we shall create life sized replicas of all the Weapons! And I'll be possessing Ultima Weapon (Cloud's best sword) so that no one gets it if they manage to beat the flying Weapon.

Muhahaha! Beware!

Whoooaaahh !!! This has excallated all outa hand and control .. BUT NO ONE SHALL get throught the Florida + North Carolina United Front. We control the whole of the EAstern Seaboard ... which everyone knows is the center of the universe (ask John Lennon)

We shall fly up to Alberta and join forces with our good and esteemed Canadian friends and the Albertasauruses equipped with laser rays shall be stationed all along the Eastern Mississippi border from the Great Lakes below Canada to the Gulf of Mexico ... none shall escape them.

Now ... Jack Cloudy, can't we make a lil' side deal here concerning that moon. A shrewd businessman like yourself certainly doesn't feel any loyalty to customers nor take sides now, do ya? We'll pay triple what the Texans are paying and quintuple what the Australians pay ... they are poor anywayz.

Lookit what you've started Pisces and your not even here .... DAmmmmm you FiShhhhh !!!!!!!!!!

The Brotherhood of Nod shall aid us in taking the GDI controlled Eastern Seaboard. Vertigo bombers, Swift Interceptors, F-22s, and F-35s shall rain ordinance from the skys, and the Texas Rangers shall lead hundreds of Nod Militants into battle.

Fully Upgraded Avatars alongside Legionaires shall decimate your ground forces, Venoms shall protect them from air-borne threats, and High Naryyn warships shall offer tactical support to all Coalition forces. Stalkers shall blast your communication satillites into submission, while AI constructs hack your defense networks and reak havoc with the systems your citizens rely upon (I just saw Live Free or Die Hard, this is much worse).

Even the mighty Albertasaurs are helpless when facing off Nod's Avatars being supported by the attacks of Stealth Tanks.

We have you out-numbered and out-gunned (thanks in part to Jack.... but mostly because of the support of the High Naryyn Imperial Navy) Resistance is futile, just give us what we need from you and our occupation of Florida and N. Carolina will be brief!

{Mallet, Canada can be spared the destruction of this war. I'm not asking for you to fight for us, just don't fight at all.}

Can I still keep my Albertasaurus' with lasers though. They won't cross the border, I can keep em in check. I wasn't expecting any Naryyn, that's all. I'll be good

Certainly, as long as I don't get a report in that rogue albertasuars are on the battlefield you will not be relieved of them.

Good to know. I like my cyber-dinosaurs of the 21st Century. The way you use brute power and superior technology is a convincing way to get those to yield to you.

Yes, and superior numbers to boot helps as well.

I suppose no one wants to blow up the universe? *puts Jupiter-turned-into-giant-black-hole-bomb into a vault.*

Ibis, I've got plenty of moons so I can just sell them all. It's a big universe after all. Any specific interests? Pluto (Charon comes free with the deal.), or perhaps Altair VI?

I shall sit in my house as safe as can be because nobody really cares about Indiana. If they do, that's news to me.

: P

So I will sit down on a nice comfy couch... Sipping my Early Grey tea and reading my beloved Death Note, whilst you are all fighting.

Suckers.

:]

*Diverts three Swifts to Toroabok's house* I don't like tea, and snide comments from the side lines! You have three minutes to vacate your house before it is blown to a thousand pieces.

WOOT, GODMOD TIME!

xDD Kidding, of course.

Hmm... well, crap.

*snaps fingers*

I GOT IT!

I'll fly out of here!

All I need is faith, trust, and happy thoughts! A little bit of pixie-dust won't hurt, either!

Muwahahahahaaa!

See you later!

*jumps off the roof and falls flat on the ground*

Ow...

DAMN YOU UN-EDUCATIONAL DISNEY MOVIES!

*shakes fist towards Florida*

Nah, I love meh Disney movies. <33

Umm... ermm... GAH I DUN WANNA' DIE!!!

GO, DUGTRIO!

*throws a Pokéball at the ground and a Dugtrio pops out*

DIG A HOLE TO CHINA, NOW!

Mwahahahahahaaaa bow before my mad Pokémon prowess!

xDD

soo....

anyone ever seen Blue Man Group?

Hey, guys, time out on our war. The E3 trailer for Halo 3 just became availiable. Here's the link. At this stage, everything you see the Chief doing in this gameplay footage you can actually do (like rip off the guns on turret emplacements and wield them as a weapon, that's been confirmed).

Enjoy.

Haha will do.

Dugtrio, that's enough!

xD

Hahaha.

Ok, I'm trying to watch the first video right now... Hopefully, my computer will stop acting like such a guar...

-steam-

--EDIT--

Gah, now my Media Player is being stupid and says I need to download "WVC1" I couldn't find it on www.wmplugins.com... Do any of you know where I can safely download it?

I do not, do you think that you have Quicktime Player? Well, here's what the Brute is saying at the beginning:

"You are, all of you, vermin."

"Cowering in the dirt, thinking. What, that you might escape the coming fire?"

"Your world will burn until it's surface is but glass!"

Nah, I just have stupid Microsoft Media Player... >.<

Ah, very nice.

I had to wake up at six thirty AM today. I went to the hospital at seven twenty am, waited for it to open, and went to the lab with my mother. They took my blood and gave me this gawdawful sickly sweet orange tasting glucose solution. They told me to come back if I felt bad. Well, in twenty minutes, I was back at the hospital, feeling like I was going to die. I threw up and voided the test. I'll have to go back sometime to be tested for hypoglycemia again. *sigh* I hope there's another way to test for it, because that was just vile. I had to down a substance that was ridiculously sweet and disgusting in a short amount of time. Of course, it was a fasting blood test, so I couldn't eat 8 hours before the test or during it. Ugh.

I'll have to reschedule. My doctor did call and tell me to eat 6-8 small meals a day and have lots of protein. Nice doctor. Hopefully I don't have hypoglycemia... just have to see another time, heh.

Yesterday I finally got my permit. Damn I look goofy.

Awwwwwwws I hope you get better...

;-;

*hugs*

*shudder* that really sucks, but it seems as though your doctor is a pretty nice guy so hopefully it will get better.

As Toro said, I hope you get better

Eugh.

Everytime I smell a sweet orange smell, I feel really sick.

That orange tasting sweet glucose stuff... ugh.

I have four days to get my bf a birthday present. I know what he wants, and I think I'll do a portrait of him. *sigh*

*hugs Zarrexaij* hang in there, dear.


I might start working as soon as next week. It'll probably be a 6-day working week job, from 7AM to 3Am, with one hour for travel before & after. It's well-paid, though, for our conditions. I hope this gets sorted out quickly so I can start making some money already.

In DoomedOne news...

My grades weren't as high as the dean wanted, so she might not let me come back next year (But she will, cause I'm sly like that.)

My lap top got jacked, but my dad came and visited and gave me his

Bad luck is a part of life, and in every situation not matter who's to blame it never hurts to see what yu could have done better. I think the most important thing is that I just don't give up and run home to ma. I'm learning self-reliance, it's a difficult skill for everybody but it has to happen some time I guess.

So I got this book called the Secret Teachings of All Ages. Actually, my Uncle gave it to me a year ago but I only started reading it (along with most my books) after my laptop got jacked. So basically it pretty much gives you the roots and real meanings of all religions that came from the Greeks, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Vikings and all the notable societies in between like Israel, Gaul, The Celts and the Vikings (racist I know but its from 1925). Early religions could be broken into two parts from this area, the Religion for the masses, and the Mysteries. Each state religion had a sect where the intellectualists practiced discovery of real truth. While the people worshipped their Sea God as a literary being the members of the Mysteries understood the idle's true symbolic significance.

When Christianity came out there was no side sect established by the state, because Rome simply didn't think it was necessary to actually find a difference between right and wrong, and yet people still pondered the true significance of Jesus vs. the masses given interpretation, they were the Gnostics, but eventually that role was taken over by the Rosicrucians. The King James Bible was majorly influence by the Rosicrucians (to the point where Sir Frances Bacon practically wrote it himself). They masked layers upon layers of symbolism in there that they knew would be taken literary by those who couldn't be bothered seeking truth and preferred to be told what was true.

Pretty interesting stuff. The author doesn't take sides, he just presents evidence. I mean this was written before atheism took off, and I doubt the author was an atheist, just a symbologist.

Oh and I'm also getting into Buddhism. To be honest I was getting into symbology because it is important for me to find the real truth, but as I looked into buddhism i realized one cannot truly intellectually grasp truth that exists beyond our physical universe. That was something I sort of figured, but Plato, Pythagoras and Orpheus were all supposed to have been enacted into the great mysteries of the world in Giza, Egypt, so I was thinking maybe there is something. I realized intellectual, comprehensible understanding of the Beyond is purely symbolic. A good example is a woman I heard talking about her attempts to describe Americans landing on the moon to a village in Central America. They didn't understand anything beyond their world, so the lady was forced to tell them the men flewinking gorde up to the moon. All major religions in the world just replace drinking gorde with something else, even Buddhism. However there are still plenty of buddhists that understand its only the nonphysical self that can understand the Beyond and gain from it. These are the buddhist that are on their way to true enlightenment. So that's my new spiritual quest at the moment, though I'm going to apply the teachings in my own western way.

What denominations are you looking into? I'm of Soka Gakkai international which is of the broader school of Mahayana buddhism.

I was actually thinking of looking into Buddhism... I don't know where to look, though.

Dx

I'm going to be up north until Saturday next week; I believe I'll be able to post during that time, but I do not think as frequently as normal. I'll be leaving at 1400 and probably won't arrive at my aunt's house until around 1830 tonight.

I doubt I'll be able to post tonight, but maybe tomorow.

have fun up there Revan. Where is "up North" anyhow?

The state that shares its southern border with Texas' northern border, there simple. Most of my (known) family lives in Oklahoma, and I'll be using one of their computers.

Arrrg. I couldn't find what my beau wanted for his birthday. *sigh* I'm stressing out now...

I'll check again tomorrow. Hate this friggin' small town. Only one place to buy PC games from (Walmart) and its selection sucks.

Today has been massively boring.

Oklahoma [dolphin squeak]ing sucks. I should know, I live in it. Oklahomans are THE worst drivers, I swear.

Well, even though I was born there, my immediate family's been alternating between north and south as my Dad's gotten job transfers (or just switches companies). Anyway, I'm sure about 38% of the people you haven't met yet can drive reasonably well, Jarr.

Double post, I know, I've added to the Armored Section of the Archives thread (those who read my story will understand.... or my signature). Sorry for the lack of tangible info on the new High Naryyn models, but I can't completely spoil the Third Chapter for you all.

I know religion is banned from this thread but this is helping about religion not debating or pushing religion.



Try google or wikipedia for a background, both are absolutely useless but there are things you will be able to read that you will either like or immediately reject and so you might get onto some more specific denominations which will give you a place to go in your city and more specific/good information on the internet. Otherwise you could just go to your local buddhist centres, most denominations have their own like churchs but there is usually atleast 1 nondenominational one per city.

The 2 main seperations of Buddhism are Mahayana which means "greater vehicle" and Theravada which means "lesser vehicle" but is often called traditional Buddhism because lesser vehicle is slightly offensive. In traditional Buddhism you are reincarnated into a male who will become a monk and become a Bodhistava who will reincarnate to become a Buddha then reach nirvana, so only men can be monks and training in attaining nirvana is reserved to the monks; woman must first be reincarnated as men. Mahayana on the otherhand proposes that anyone can attain enlightment and definitions of nirvana and reincarnation usually varies between them, usually allowing anyone to become monks and learn all their secrets, like my denomination which leaves belief of the afterlife up to the personal views of the members.
Practices of Buddhism usually varies, with different types of "prayer", mediation and study existing, zen practices sitting mediation along with mediation while participating in a variety of actions, like painting, flower arranging, swordsmanship and archery; once proper mediation technique is learnt it is well documented that physical ability increases dramatically as zen mediation will unlock your ability to use your subconscience for practical purposes. My denomination practices mediation through outloud chanting, which is repeating a short saying over and over again, and will also chant a portion of Buddhist teachings; scientifically chanting will relieve stress and focus your mind.

There is also Vajrayana which is centred around practices rather than study, modern tantric is an example of one, they practice chanting, sitting mediation and moving mediation (yes, including tantric sex but thats for experianced people and is a small optional portion of the denomination). Both men and woman are allowed to become monks but many secrets are reserved for the devote.

Yeah, I'm into Vajrayana, completely because A. it's the only sect in my tiny lil town and B. I'm an avid snowboarder and "snowboarding to nirvana" turned me onto the techniques. The practices and traditions, in my opinion, though important to understand are no more truthful than those of any other religion. I want to turn every boring thing I have to do (like community service) into a mindful practice and meditate for longer periods of the day so I can become better at everything I do and so maybe eventually I can become enlightened, I'm over worship, tradition and ritual unless it serves practical purpose.

And yeah nothing I said in my last post was meant to generate any arguments, I don't think discussion should be banned just as long as we all stay civil and accept each other's beliefs.

I got a question for all you advisors out there, though. I fell in love with my roommate, like think of love as the sun, and my self as a comet that was just mindin its own business being a swinger when it got pulled into this solar system for good. I can't concentrate, she pops into my head all the time, I count the hours until I know I can see her again, I feel like I want to just grab onto her and never let go. But she's 4 years older than me, and she shows it in maturity. Apart from the fact that her adult life is getting into full swing and just a year ago I still had to be home by midnight, we're a match made in heaven. We love the same stuff and I feel like we can hang out for weeks straight and never get sick of each other. My other two roommates have both said we should date (jokingly) and it's just getting to me. I can't stand being away from her, I can't stand being with her knowing I just want to have sex with her. I know she doesn't want a boyfriend, and I definitely don't have a chance even if she did. I mean, I can make her laugh but a guy needs more than that to get a girl 4 years older than he is. Should I just try to get over her?

Zarr, if you have time to order online .. try NewEgg.com or Ebay.

Hello again for everyone that remembers me.

If you recall I simply disappeared a while back. No real reason, I just sorta stopped posting. Well I've done a lot of growing up since then, and I think it's time for a comeback.

So, hello again to all. BTW, is there a way I can change my forum name?

Heey, welcome back! Nice to see you again...

Oh and ask an Admin, to change your forum-name I mean!


Anyway I´m back from Italy now..it has been a great vacation, lots of sun, good food and excellent wines...the only thing that bothers me is that I have to go to work tomorrow!
