Well, there are a few things in life that I just can't understand, ever. People can give me reasonable explanations about historical facts and evolution, and I'm convinced that most of them are correct, like how the evolution theory explains the existence of mankind, the planets etc. But what I just don't understand is the following: If you accept the fact that you do not reincarnate, there was nothing of you before you were 'created' by your parents, i.e. the collision between the sperm and the egg-cell. Now, I am here, because I am doing something, typing this message. So are you, because you're reading this. That means we exist, we are. But if that is true, what were we before? One might say we are trillions of atoms, that form different parts of our body, that work together, strange as it may be. But that can be explained through Darwin's evolution theory; we've evolved to what we are now. What I don't get, however, is that we absolutely did not exist one year before our birth. How can it be that I was nothing (except for perhaps a few proteins that would become sperm cells and the egg-cell that's already present the moment our mother was born) 21 years ago? I can think, I can move, I can do everything a normal 19-year old boy can do. I can't imagine that I just 'evolved' out of nothing into an embryo. That's what I call magic; the non-existence of the mind-part of myself. This is something that's mind-boggling to me; I can't imagine my mind not being there. That's probably the reason why so many people believe in a spirit, that's captured in a body. Well, I hope it can be true, it would mean we're immortal.

Or from me :) I signed up, my nick is Oy_ btw, Oy was taken (damn you copycats). edit: is it possible that last.fm slows down my internet activities a lot? Loading a page takes several minutes now.

Those 60-70$ spent could also have been used on shiny diamonds, eh indy? Jewelry ahoy! :P Enjoy the trilogy :)

M̮̼̉̉m - please smile, my noise bleed

I lovee many of Placebo's covers; Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush), Where Is My Mind (the Pixies), 20th Century Boy (T-Rex), Daddy Cool (Boney M)... The cover from Rufus Wainwright's Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is great too, it's probably also more known than the original song.

Where did I not give my opinion and where did I flame?

You don't?? :shock: Thank the Scottish Gods that Nessie is still there. And welcome back!

lol with you on that and deloria, its more that i dont really care, because i have a different opinion from them, the only difference is that im not flaming them for their opinion. but maybe i should add that jewelry is more symbolic than anything, for example, some people buy certain jewelry with a certain gem, because maybe it's someone that care's birthstone for one example.... the truth is jewelry can mean different things to different people. and maybe buying a certain piece of jewelry would be special to the person they bought it for. How about showing your love by spending time with the person or buying something original? I hate jewelry/flowers as presents; it shows you haven't got any inspiration, you don't care to think what might a better gift and you're obviously confusing money with love. I prefer a funny 3$ thing that's something personal, something that required effort and thought and that actually means something.

I hope you're quoting a jewelry commercial. Because otherwise you've officially been brainwashed by capitalism.

*cough* :lol: That crown was what, like 5-6000$ Kayla? Most likely 5. :wink:

Why do people like to show off with their money so badly? I find jewelry one of the worst things you can do to your body, next to tattoos and piercings, which basically is jewelry as well. I don't even like wearing a watch, the only jewelry-alike thing I ever wore was a nearly invisible necklace with a sign of my youth club on it. My girlfriend also dislikes it; she has a few sets of earrings and a few bracelets, but that's all. And none of them are gold, most of them are plastic or silver. It's a waste of money, really. Her bracelets and necklaces are things like and But not one of those ugly golden things covered with gems.

And in your back back hair? :P Well this guy does. Yuck, I'm glad I only have the necessary hair, I do have to shave every morning, but it's pretty common when you're 19. And I've got pretty hairy legs, but like you said, I take pride in them : I'm so glad I don't have chest or *shiver* back hair though, it makes people look ape-ish.

Nah my parents thought it was hilarious! They kinda helped us do it. :P I meant Ghost's parents: hehe. I think my parents would kinda realise it was something my friends did, and not an unknown guy with too much post-its and time :lol:

At first I was thinking that baby cover was Nevermind, or Von from Sigur RÃÆÃâÃâós, but it's one of their first albums, so it coudn't have been that. No idea about this new one I'm afraid.

*is currently listening to Radio Bemba soundsystem* Isn't Manu Chao from Brazil as well? Or is he European with a latino background?

Ahahah, that's hilarious. Especially your parents getting upset with it. I think that if my parents would see people sticking post-its to my car, they'd gladly assist. If I had a car, that is :|

I always thought death was something people made up when I discovered Santa wasn't real, just to scare children. My grandparents are all 4 still alive and they're all older than 80, so perhaps it's true O:)

Im sick of your clever comments. They make me feel inadequate. http://www.funnycomments.com And what a race it was! The most exciting grand prix in years, and that in Hungary, one of the most boring tracks there are. Too bad I didn't see it. :-? edit: what the.. that website actually exists. hmmm, Bubs?

Yeah, that little man- :-# :wink:

He was obviously kidding. The only girl out of the top 5 that's really attractive is Miss Paraguay IMO. Wide hips, beautiful curled dark hair, a hot look in her eyes, apparently good self-esteem and not too skinny... uhu, that's what a miss should look like.

Yah, just read it :( *pats Merc on the back* Some of those stupid arrogant bastards ought to get.. :-#

Bah! Something similar happened to me as well; I was on a party getting beer for my friends and when I return with about 6 glasses in my hands, whilst sticking my arms in the air so people could notice the Precious Load, everyone moved aside. Everyone except for some stupid idiot that had to bump hard against me, so that the glasses all fell. I was of course pretty pissed off; so I looked him straight into the eyes, didn't say anything, but when he asked me what my problem was I said that he should at least help me pick up the glass and pay back the beer. Then, bam, got hit in the face :x That mother.. eventually he and his clan got kicked out, it seems that he and his mates like hanging out and looking for a fight. I hate losers like them.

:? He can have his opinion about it can't he? Although it's ridiculous to think it never happened.

Perhaps a black wizard's hat, or a blue p hat, perhaps it was too dark for you to clearly see what he was wearing. But black p hats have never existed. P
