AStro NUt are you sErious?!

Here's what I found: It is said that ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck – as in the tale of H.M.S. Friday ... One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell once and for all the widespread superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned, named "H.M.S. Friday." They laid her keel on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, selected her crew on a Friday and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain. To top it off, H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage on a Friday, and was never seen or heard from again.
--------------------------------- AND
As if to prove the point, the Bible tells us there were exactly 13 present at the Last Supper. One of the dinner guests — er, disciples — betrayed Jesus Christ, setting the stage for the Crucifixion.
Did I mention the Crucifixion took place on a Friday?

That is good advice then, you can't run away form your past, you learn from it. But you can't live in the past either, I find when I am most depressed I am think solely about the past and when I am happy and motivated, it's all about the present/futur. That might just be me though...

Share your horrible Friday the 13th experiences here!
Does anyone know WHY this is a special day?

DAMN THIS brownie is good

So you're saying we should look back? I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure Kurt Cobain killed himself, isn't that proof of... something? ANyway!
LIFE is a learning process... it doesn't matter when or how or why, and it happens regardless of when, why or how. I think we all know how cheating happens... alcohol, boredom or a really stupid stupid decision. The end result is the same and I am starting to think people just can't control themselves PERIOD.
You're put in a situation; you do what is best for you at the moment... (Socrates style, or Aristle, or Plato I forget). I guess ifyour boy/girlfriend treats you super well and you're happy about your time with that person, it shouldn't really matter who they sleep with.
If they THROW it in your face or straight out lie about it, that would strongly affect your happiness in that relationship. And as such, whether you think someone is ugly or you've been 'cheated' on, you're going to dump them either way. Any reason is a reason.

Now... if your significant other sleeps around and you decide that you don't WANT a significant that sleeps around, that's YOUR problem, you can dump them right there on the spot. Those who are destroyed by the situation were simply 100% too dependant on the other person. "MY WHOLE WORLD IS COLLAPSING!" style
If someone is so important to you that you can't let them do what they want, that's YOUR problem. So in light of this I say fuck it all! Be honest, be true to your friends, but you're only here till 39 years old anyway so have some damned fun instead of worrying about what OTHER people MIGHT be doing. sheeeeeshhhh

I love IM, but they come so often you'd think they were locals, and everytime ARIA! why?!?!

MORE SUCKING!

MORE SUCKING!

Magic AND Dnd, whoa... that's a bit much even for... well anybody!

The girl on the right in your picture looks SO apt to play some tennis :D

OH DEAR GOD!

Wanna come too? there's enough room for everybody! As they said before, it's not cheating if we KNOW that everyone is having sex with everyone. Then it's just fun!

A blonde with the stomach flu?

ho shit, yeah that's not the funnest...

Cinderella: I strongly urge you to never avoid a relationship, you'll miss out on TOO much experience. 100 years ago people would reproduce much much sooner and this was most likely better for evolution as fresh human cells perform better building than the older. If you are older than 20 you are LATE LATE LATE and should have four kids by now. :p
When you say that it is simple and complex at the same time, you are right! My solution was to stop THINKING about it and just acting. I find in the end we all just act like ourselves no matter how much thought we put into things. If you truly think you're going to get a concrete answer, then reason it out; otherwise trying to understand ANYTHING 'completely' is likely a gigantic waste of time you could have spent learning about REAL life, which involves the whole of humanity and not only what goes on in our minds. Sometimes it is smart to step back and see what everyone is doing, it can be very enlightening. Individualy, we are nuts.

Well what is it that changes from friends to more "romantically" involved that tends to fuck the relationship up?! Are things truly more healthy, when you remain friends with the person?! Are you saying that out of fear of problems you stay friends with people (females, I presume) instead of "going out" with them? I'm just trying to understand what you mean by the last sentence.
ENDQUOTE

What I meant was actally something that happened to me. I spent almost 7 hours just talking to some girl after a rave once, I told her during that time that I would never hit on her because I didn't want anything to come between us. This is easily explained by the fact that being friends with someone, then dating, and then becoming friends again is nearly impossible. It does happen but generally there are left over emotions, unmutual feelings or remorse/regret. Just think about trying to hang out with your exboyfriend as he hugs and kisses his new girlfriend... not good in any circumstance.
Relationships require a little bit more intimacy and I think a lot of people of afraid of anyone knowing them that well. This extra knowledge about someone (they like being handcuffed and spanked) can come between two friends and make things awkward!! lol

haha loser...
j/k

If I understand what you mean, it makes sense to me! You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else properly. Relationships should be a mutual agreement between the two (three??) people that they think each other rocks. But life does a good job of physically ripping people apart even if they get along great and don't cheat on each other so it's all the same in the end. To see the beauty in life you need to look in the right places after all, My glass is half full!

But tomorrow is a new day and your white knight may ride straight up to you and whisper: "Did you drop this diamond necklace?"

Then what? I say go back to the Brazilian Waterfall...

Fire?! It is supposed to be fish... so i say we teach one guy to fish and another to cook up a meal using your fire. They owe us!!!

She's like.... a black hole.

Hell I wish more people thought like you, but it is so hard to find anyone with any decent morals anymore. When ever I find a girl that I can really relate to, I too often just stay friends so that nothing will fuck the relationship up. Jealousy, paranoia, ups, downs, trust, love, deceit, sex, oh the sex... relationships are chaos (stupid emotions eh?)! I am exagerating a little bit, but during all that time that you spend... just really enjoying the company of a special person in your life... Don't you want or even NEED to know that they aren't fucking someone else? Sounds harsh like that but everyone wants a little bit of control over their own life, and when half of your life is a living, breathing, eating, sleeping, working, learning, talking, flirting... person, you have no control over half your life! UNLESS you can trust them. I guess it would be a very noble lie to say:"Hey baby, you can trust me!" When the truth is that I don't even know what I am doing tomorrow night, or who I'm doing tomorrow night.

They can? They do! But keep in mind that a Mac will last you at the very least twice as long as any PC. And that because they release decent machines.

euh.... house

car or motorcycle

"a white dragon? with white wine? I'm there!"

Got any good ones? like...
What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agreed is between heaven and earth?

OMG! I'd show her the key to my Kingdom anyday!

If we could ignore our instincts, we'd become a super race and learn to live happy in pollution and corruption forever. Until the sun expands and kills us all. Oh wait that's what going to happen anyway

get Avril Lavigne! I want to throw a skater boy at her...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. TRUST FUCKING NO ONE! Doesn't mean you can't have a little fun but if you live for and because of someone else, you are BOUND for hurt. Emotions have NO ROOT WHATSOEVER in logic and so it is impossible to love without being hurt at some point. It's like eating only ice cream and expecting to stay just as healthy... I came up with a pretty decent comparisson to dating. When you get into a relationship, it's like leasing a car:
1. It isn't YOURS, you're sharing it's abilities.
2. You need to fill it with fuel otherwise it'll stop working.
2. You can ride it all you want when you have it but you have NO RIGHTS at all when it's gone, and you don't know in advance when that will be.
3. As you grow, so does the car in your perception. And as well the car's perception of you.
4. Mileage ONLY goes up. There's NO turning back (changing the past).
5. If you treat it well now it will treat you well later. (friendship/no hard feelings/no regrets/break lines not cut by previous leased cars :D)
6. Some cars are lemons (just waiting to break [up])
7. The nicer looking the car is, the better chance you have of getting it stolen. And besides, all your friends will want a ride ;)
8. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. (one of you is gonna die first)

SO what does that all mean? It means you had a sweet ass car for a couple months/years! Great! You had some fun times with that car and while you had it, it always got you where you needed it to go. You gained lots of experience that you can use for your next car. We should treat relationships MORE like cars because:
-You have to understand you are two different entities with completely different needs.
-If you spend TOO much time taking care of your car, you won't be able to make the lease payments and BYE BYE car.
-The car needs its space or it will get scratched/damaged/sufficated by YOU.
-You have to treat it properly the only way you know how or it will break [up] way too soon.

Cheating is wrong because it shows an utter disrespect. If your partner can't respect you, they don't deserve you. Rise above your instincts/emotions and realize you don't want someone who is gonna treat you like shit anyway. BUT relationships are great AND worth it, they teach you more about yourself and life than any other commitment you'll ever make. Besides... girls are too sexy not to want to ride... I mean date ;)

I swear to god our children aren't even going to be able to count properly... 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14. I say we get rid of 7 too.

gotta keep it local so that people can afford drugs too! common now
