“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” —Alan Watts

“This is harder than it first appears: Try in thine own experience, each; that ye speak not for one whole day unkindly of any; that ye say not a harsh word to any, about any; and see what [such] a day would bring to you . . .”

—Edgar Cayce

“We should not use philosophy like a herbal remedy, to be discarded when we're through. Rather, we must allow philosophy to remain with us, continually guarding our judgements throughout life, forming part of our daily regimen, like eating a nutritious diet or taking physical exercise.”

—Musonius Rufus

One way to know if you’re in a high vibration/zero point field?

Contentment. You’re good either way. Whether something you want happens or it doesn’t happen. You are fine with the way things are. You accept the present moment just as it is without really needing anything external or any person from the outside to make you happy. Your inner state is relaxed/at peace. The emotion is the key.

“Don't keep forever on the public road,going only where others have gone, and following one after the other like a flock of sheep. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. 'Every time you do so you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. Of course it will be a little thing, but do not ignore it. Follow it up, explore all around it; one discovery will lead to another, and before you know it you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the results of thought.”

—Alexander Graham Bell

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”

New idea for current wip

Problem: I need a way to measure distance without using miles, and nobody has time to be counting steps or paces

Answer: changeable unit of one "fall"

Explanation?

There once was a mad lord in Kinton who became very famous for falling a great height off a mountain during a drunken hike. The length he fell was equivalent to 1,204 feet.

It eventually became popular practice to refer to how tall something is(or how far you'd go if you fell over)relation to one "mad Fritzo fall." Ex: the kingdoms greatest tower was roughly ninth of a mad Fritzo Fall

Due to common use and well known background making extra info irrelevant, remove "Fritzo." Ex: the man was a giant, standing nearly 150th of a mad fall

Due to common use and well known background making extra info irrelevant, remove "mad." Ex: the towering wave which threatened the quaint town of Dilkan stood at one sixth of a fall

Due to common use, measurement for height is eventually applied to all forms of distance. Ex: The dark night was spotted upon his battle stead from a distance of two falls, oblivious to what awaited him.

New problem: lots of math for some items

Answer one: come up with other forms if measurement(have to do that anyway, at least a little bit)

Answer two: make everyone good at multiplication and division

Thoughts about Neverending Story remake

Having heard they're making a remake to Neverending Story I've had a lot of thoughts about how they should do it. You know, what things need to happen to make it good

I say this as a big fan of the original book

While I know there's a lot you can't bring into an adaptation, especially from a book as wild as this, but I feel we could return to the original description of The Nothing

Thoughts About Neverending Story Remake

In the movie, The Nothing is depicted as a black and consuming storm. Or according to some, the storm is only there to represent the invisible Nothing, which is still cheating

In the book The Nothing has no color, has no shape, has no tangible presence, no storm clouds to reveal itself. Those who step into it suffer no pain, only cease. And on page 24, as The Tiny says, "when you look at the place, it's as if you were blind."

Making it not invisible either, as some say, but rather something that not a single character within the story can truly describe

Think how all who see Hyde recognize him as being horribly disturbed, despite there being no physical flaws they can point out

Obviously there's nothing they can really do to create that kind of Nothing on film, especially no amount of bad cgi, so what then should be done? That's what I've been thinking about

The best thing to do is keep The Nothing off camera entirely, always just out of our view. With that all we have to go off of is descriptions through dialogue, which many of the characters talk about in the book. Now The Nothing isn't just black clouds, but the terrifying and lovecraftian doom to Fantastica(oh btw, it's Fantastica, they changed the name in the movie) like it always was to so many of the fantasy worlds residents

And because, as everyone who remembers the drowning horse knows, Neverending Story is supposed to be down. So this works imo

The Public Beach Just Didnt Click With Brad. How Was It His Feet Could Wear Thongs But His Butt Couldnt?

The public beach just didn’t click with Brad. How was it his feet could wear thongs but his butt couldn’t? Brad saw nothing wrong with his body. No one could. He was living proof it was the train of thought was offensive. Just one more reason outside of perfection, people scared Brad more than anything. He was glad he wasn’t online. He’d have at least ten thongs on his credit card by now.

Brad was bizzay. Couldn’t his boyfriend Chris’ appendix wait until tomorrow to burst? Every gay knew the golden rule: You can’t rush sexy. Besides, they were working. Chris needed to be gyrating as an erotic male dancer not clamping his jaw and slouching over.

“What was tomorrow anyway?”

Chris responded with ‘mañana’. He then went on to explain it could also be ‘the day after today, but not the day after that because that would be the day after tomorrow.’

In an effort to clarify things further, Chris stated what the two were speaking to was the day before that but not today, rather to the day in between despite the fact all that was being referenced originated from the day they were presently in, whatever day that turned out to be.

Brad and Chris were en route to Cedars Sinai not two minutes later. Surprisingly, they were only the second gay couple to arrive at the ER wearing only designer thongs and flip flops that hour. That’s until Brad and Chris realized it was Gay Pride weekend in SF, Chicago, Toronto, and NYC.

Then it all made sense.

Sometimes I forget that people don't actually know or understand my thought processes, so I confuse them by saying shit like:

13 and 15.....so 5

out loud and not explaining because I know what I mean because I had the whole thought in my head. I know that these two characters are 13 and 15, meaning that they're 5 and 7 years younger than another character, but you don't know that because you're not in my head

As the black sheep of my family I would love to have this thought process, but I’m a Regulus kinnie

"If I’m going to be the family disappointment, Sirius thought, moving to his trunk, I’ll be the best bloody disappointment they’ve ever had."
