People have been saying "art is dying" for hundreds of years. Don't listen to them.

Also, you can add a carbon filter attachment to any waterpipe (I won't provide any links or details, you can look on your own) to filter the smoke even more than the water already does. It uses similar carbon that fishtank water filters use.

The Obligatory Ice Hockey Thread
This alignment is going to be much better. It's gonna be like when the North Stars were still in the league. Old midwestern rivalries rekindled!!

Detention Camp Order Follows Preparations For Civil Unrest
If the U.S. government interns any of its citizens, there will be a violent reaction. Times are very ripe for rioting.

The Obligatory Ice Hockey Thread
I love watching a well-executed hit more than a goal any day. Wild are still runnin' Wild which is good to see.

Cold Showers
You'll feel warmer in freezing weather after a cold shower than a hot one I'll feel warmer in a hot shower than a cold shower. Cold weather outside is cold no matter how you slice it.

Screw that. It's like 5F here in the mornings. I deal with the cold all day, last place I want it is in my shower.

NASA Telescope Confirms Planet in Habitable Zone
I hope we are never able to reach or inhabit any of these planets, we'll just destroy their ecosystems anyways.

Drinking/Drugs
Same with me, I love the taste of a good whiskey. Jack Daniels is my drink of choice...I can down that stuff like it's candy, but other liquors make me gag.

Today...
Nihilistic would be a better suited word there. Sorry, but seeing "happiness" dangled in front of me like a carrot makes me wonder what we're all in this for. I don't get why, according to "hard working" capitalists, quality can be nothing more than a facade. I would much rather build than embellish. I'm confused as to how nihilistic applies to the mall setting.

What movie(s) did you last see?
I mean the idea for the movie was good, but Danny Boyle's acting was just so UGHHHHH at times. His indie-relationship with the one girl was obnoxious. And yeah, the third act was pretty sub-par. Wait. What. Danny Boyle isn't an actor, or at least not in Sunshine. Ah yeah I just checked the IMDb quick because I didn't know the guy's name off-hand. I was in a hurry :P I meant Cillian Murphy!

Life Changing Experiences
Life changing experience? Reading Brave New World and seeing Rage Against the Machine live in concert in the same month. I might not have the same views I did as an angsty 17 year old now, but it diverted me away from normalcy that's for damn sure.

Drinking/Drugs
I still follow the counterculture's idea of what a "drug" is. Drugs are bad for you. They harm your body. Alcohol, nicotine, heroine, cocaine, and other harmful substances fall into this category. Do I use drugs? Absolutely. I smoke cigarettes and a drink alcohol in large quantities, but it is my choice to do something that harms my body. "Dope" is not a drug and is not harmful. Dope refers to LSD, peyote, psylocybin (mushrooms), and marijuana (among other hallucinogens). These drugs do not cause physical harm in and of themselves. Does it put you in an other-worldly state? Yes. Do you get lazy and want to do nothing but play Xbox, listen to music, and eat Cheetos? Yes. Does this go against the Puritan work ethic that America values? Absolutely. The resistance to marijuana legalization is slowly waning. Just this year Gallup released a poll saying that for the first time, 50 percent of Americans think the U.S. should legalize pot.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Sunshine (2007) It was interesting and very visually pleasing, but the plot left something to be desired. I'd recommend it though.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Not to be a debbie downer here but good chemistry and liking someone doesn't always mean a good relationship. If you're not sure you want to be in a relationship then don't be in one. It's a mistake to commit to something like that unless you're totally on board with it.

What book are you currently reading?
The Sun Also Rises could be loosely considered a sequel and is a much better novel than A Farewell to Arms. But changing it up is probably a good idea.

What book are you currently reading?
Well that was fast. I was a little skeptical of the whole book until the end. What did you think of it??
