Gorgon Sighting

at the Eudora news forum

Unfortunately my teenager was allowed to do things that are not legal at the home of a Eudora family. What can we do about this? They apparently allow their 14 year old to get drunk and smoke. They have pictures of my daughter on their website at www.dixiblog.com and on poopismyfriend.com Is there anything we can do? ( spelling and grammar corrected )

LOL…like any of us give a shit what our neighbors think

I mean gd; my neighbor mows my yard because I quit doing it years ago
never…I mean NEVER wash my car
dumpster in the front yard

I’m such a slave to public opinion….rrr

I want to be a robot

I’ve been thinking about sensation lately; I’m just amazed I can feel things sometimes. This is difficult to explain, I think of myself as a consciousness that has sensors monitoring the world outside. The 5 senses are my sensors and I just don’t understand how the information gets relayed to me. I touch something; my fingertips react by sending a signal to my brain. How the hell does that signal come in? How is it possible that I can get raw data when my existence is a consciousness that perceives through reasoning?

There are many different sensations, pleasant and unpleasant; somehow my brain decides something tastes good. This is not logical, there is no reason behind it; it’s all biologically derived through evolution. Doing something that is good for my body (eating food) will release chemicals to make me feel good. What the fuck is up with that? Why doesn’t the conscious part have control over that instead of leaving it up to a part of the body that doesn’t even think? I think I’m a decent judge of when I need to be rewarded with some endorphins.

It just pisses me off that I can’t decide just to feel good. If I’m having a bad day I just want to be able to say screw it and start feeling good without any external stimulus. A lot of people eat when they are having a bad day because it cheers them up. But it’s not like the food is being converted into the chemical your brain needs to feel good, your body is just rewarding you for keeping it running. I don’t think I should have to rely on chemicals in my brain to have a good day. It should be my decision of how I choose to perceive things.

If I was a robot then I’d get information from my sensors and be able to decide for myself if they were good sensations or bad sensations. I’d be able to just shut off sensation at will, no pain, gd that’d be cool. All my actions would be based out of reason and logic and not in search of things to keep the robot body happy.

So in conclusion…calling someone a robot means they have no free will and everything they do is preprogrammed. The truth is a robot programmed with free will would be freer than any human.

Back in sync

I’ve been out of sync the last few days and now I’m back. I haven’t examined the feeling before; it’s where I don’t really feel like I’m communicating with other people. I’m talking and interacting and looking at other people in the eye, but I didn’t sense a connection to the other person. Normally I feel there is some psychic connection when I’m talking to other people. I’m not saying there really is a psychic connection, but now I’ve noticed that it feels like there is one when I’m talking to people. It’s kinda like when you meet someone for the first time and feel like you really know them but can’t explain why. Anyway…this normal subconscious feeling had been missing for a few days. I felt like I was deaf for a while, somewhat similar to a bad head cold.

Somebody needs to do research on this feeling, because I know I’m not the only person who has experienced this feeling of connection. I also think there are people in the world that never experience these feelings. I want to know if it’s just a comforting feeling in my head or if there really is a psychic connection and if there is something not quite right with people who never know this feeling.

or maybe its just because I started wearing contacts again and people are looking at me funny
