Everyone has a negative side to them. Some people have a negative side that's more deep than others. For some, it's more violent, more manipulative, more using, etc.. It's impossible for us to not have this dark side to us, because it's naturally in opposition with our positive side, and is necessary for us to recognize our good.

Now, A few questions on this. When you have these negative emotions pop up, how do you ...

So what IS enlightenment anyway? Yogis and monks strive to attain it, and allegedly do so by praying/meditating, etc. Various people yearn to achieve it, and attempt a wide range of techniques to do so. So what IS enlightenment? Do you think that there is a certain set method to achieving it? Why do you think people are so fascinated with it?

I actually don't know the answer to that question--in fact, I didn't even know he was an admin until earlier when he deleted a bunch of posts from the "this joke is not and never has been as funny as I think it is" thread. <p>

For those of you who have ever once visited my house, chances are you've met the little terror known as Rowdy. While he's fairly nice to family members, he's overly hostile to everyone else (though mostly he'll just bark and chase you, rarely biting unless you were stupid enough to try to pet him).

Regardless, he was put down today, due to a stroke he suffered a few days prior. He survived the stroke, but ...

So buy a copy! Read it! ...

I suck at creating descriptions, so I just give you the link.

By now the chaos should be wrapping up in general. I just wanted to throw this topic out there to see what reactions pop up.

Personally, while I do sympathize with the people in the sense that without any aid and without proper sanitation, that is a shitty (pun somewhat intended) situation to be in, I find the actions of the New Orlean-ers rather deplorable. It seems as though once the symbol of authority disappears, ...

OKay on the theory that I am going to move in with my Sister I gave up two of my three cats. Now, because the bloody navy can't make up it's mind, I am about to lose my third since I can't keep him where I am currently staying. I am so frustrated and upset that I am losing my familar, it just doesn't seem right. I am giving up just about everything to be ...
