I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me under the bus and I saw you carve your initials into my avocado plant. I'm sure you're high enough to understand the middle east. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked a new life as a clone.

Warm regards,
-Tommy-

G-Man, Half-Life 2


"Something in the night felt like a door had
been opened, an echo of the past, an old monster snapping it's
eyes open in the depths of my brain. Closing your eyes forces
you to look at the darkness inside."

Max Payne 2


"There was a blindspot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain."

Max Payne 2

Steps:

1. Find a comfortable sitting position, either on a chair or the floor, which you can easily hold for ten or fifteen minutes.

2. Close your eyes and begin breathing calmly and slowly, taking about twenty slow, rhythmic, connected breaths into your upper chest.

3. Let all your concerns go. Imagine them vanishing. Every time a thought comes up, imagine it on a blackboard, then effortlessly erase it, or imagine putting each thought into a bubble that floats away.

4. Relax your body. Feel yourself growing serene, calm, and tranquil. In your imagination, travel through your body, relaxing each part. Mentally relax your feet, legs, thighs, stomach, chest, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, head, and face. Let your jaw be slightly open, and relax the muscles around your eyes.

5. Put up a bubble of white light around you. Imagine its size, shape, and brightness. Play with making it larger and smaller until it feels just right.

6. When you are calm and relaxed and ready to return, bring your attention slowly back into the room. Savor and enjoy your state of calm and peace. . . usually it is sufficient to practice every day for twenty minutes or so for one to two weeks to grow accustomed to deeper relaxation and inner stillness.

Through the seemingly perpetual cycle of self submergence and self sequestration within and away from the aggregation of commonplace social paradigms and their nonsensical concerns, I get the chance to see from a nascent, truly tendentious, and most absolute, centre-focal perspective.

Through constant self inquisition, I unlock the sacred and archaic, spiritual and existential knowledge of my antediluvian elders, my ancient brothers, predecessors....and ancestors.

Through the pursuit of true disillusion and the metaphorical evasion from all inner thought and action that is spurious, plastic and untrue to absolute nature, I rise through the various deluded ambiences of cognizance and obtain the absolute capacity to guide myself toward the clear and true realm of the anti-descended consciousness.

What am I?

What am I not?

What is a Lucid Dream?
-Lucid dreaming means that you are dreaming and you are aware that you are doing so. The word lucid can mean ‘clear’ or ‘transparent’. While lucid you can do a number of tasks, such as talk to a relative/friend that has passed away, live your wildest fantasies or just fly to the heavens and marvel in the beauty of the environment you create in your dream! Lucid dreaming occurs in the REM (rapid eye movement) period of sleep.

How fast can I learn how to dream lucidly?
-It differs with the person, and how dedicated one is, as well as how much sleep you can get. Some people have lucid dreams on the first night; some have them in a couple months, etc.

How can I have a lucid dream?
-Dreams are very commonly a reflection on your day, your thoughts, and what has been processed through your mind during the day. It is important to remain conscious, right up to falling asleep, to help induce lucid dreams. Besides that, there are many different ways to induce lucid dreams, such Wake-Initiated Lucid Dreams, Reality Checking, and the Wake-Back to Bed method.

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized. ]]> ~Expropriate
