If only the same could be said for content. :D DeviantArt - I recently got one of these accounts.

My Drool - A Livejournal account I use to post random crappy sketches of plans I have, or something. I seriously doubt anyone is ever interested by it, but it keeps me organized at least. Pixel Joint - Where I load my pixel stuff. I really like this whole site, I encourage everyone to browse around. There's a ton of impressive stuff here.

Clockworkz | Best Senior Quote of the Graduating class in my school: 1st place: "It just keeps getting herder..." -Dick Guzinia Runner up: "Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo, here comes the sun."  it's hard to be human: here we are, saddled with 4 1/2 billion years of biological legacy, essentially designed to live short, aggressive and violent lives on the plains of the serengeti, but yet forced to be good, contemporary citizens. life is hard for everybody. we're all trying to eke out an existence in unbelievably confusing circumstances. given our biological inheritance i think that we need to be more tolerant of ourselves and more tolerant and compassionate in our dealings with others. the standards that we have for human behaviour are at times noble, but at times quite absurd. we're genetically designed to be lustful, aggressive, gregarious, productive creatures, and it can be a good thing to hold ourselves to high community standards of behaviour, but we need to deal with ourselves as who and what we are, not just what we think we're supposed to be. the last thing in the world that we need to do is judge and condemn each other. i can understand locking someone up if they're violent, but i can't understand judging that person without compassion and tolerance. if you have a five year old child that likes to kick cats you don't abuse him and lock him in the basement and tell him what a horrible person he is. obviously you talk to the child and try to get him to figure out why kicking cats is not such a great thing to do. and you recognise that he's kicking cats not because he hates cats, but because he's expressing something that he feels and can't otherwise express. abuse begets abuse, compassion begets compassion. i'm not advocating a soft approach to criminal, violent, or anti-social behaviour, rather i'm advocating an enlightened and realistic approach to our human-ness. locking a criminal up in a horrible place and making them feel like shit is neither a compassionate nor a culturally expedient way to deal with the situation. it's also not taking into account the fact that we're all essentially guilty of the same things. if i had been brought up in a different environment that was abusive and only reinforced violence and aggression i'm sure that i would have turned out differently. so how can i condemn someone and judge someone who was raised differently from me? i can, with justification, prevent someone from hurting someone else, but i can't comprehensively condemn them for it. we're all saddled with a violent biological and cultural legacy, it's just that some of us have the skills and upbringing to deal with it. in most cases people just aren't aware of the effects of their actions. you can't take a creature who has spent the last couple of million years reproducing and fighting and living a short and difficult life and then plop them in a suburb and ask them to enter data into a cpu and expect them to be well adjusted and fine. we're supposed to be out chasing and being chased, eating and being eaten. nothing in our genetic lineage has prepared us for most of what we deal with on a day to day basis. if you took a penguin from antarctica and put him in a corn field in mexico would you be surprised if he got sick and died? same thing with us humans. for the last million years we've, for the most part, lived in tight communities and led urgent and vital lives. we're not designed to be slothful and indolent suburbanites. i'm not advocating a rejection of modern conveniences, but i am advocating an acceptance of what we've inherited and what we are as biological humans. christ took pity on us and had compassion for us, so why can't we try to have understanding & compassion for each other? -------------------- one problem with cultural conservatism: to put it simply, and it's not a problem that only conservatives have, conservatives very often confuse (or conflate) ethics and aesthetics. when gertrude himmelfarb lambasts our (as she perceives it) 'amoral', 'sexually deviant' and 'polymorphously perverse' culture she is primarily responding to something that she finds culturally foreign and threatening. i agree with her that values are oftentimes a good thing, but only when they are born of an ethical and pragmatic perspective, not an aesthetic one. the conservatives want a seemingly neat and compartmentalised society wherein stable appearances are maintained and archaic cultural archetypes are adhered to religiously. i grew up in a world of rigid cultural archetypes. i grew up with white businessmen going to office buildings while their wives stayed at home and their kids went to school. or, more accurately, i grew up with alcoholic adulterous businessmen who lived culturally insular lives while their wives took sedatives and smoked cigarettes and vented their frustrations on their kids, and these same kids took reams of drugs, got abortions, drove drunk, and victimised the weaklings. i grew up in what most conservatives would consider a utopia; lots of money, prestige, cultural cohesion, and good conservative values. but their values were in fact aesthetics, and maintaining these aesthetics ruled and ruined their lives. almost everyone in this suburban bourgeoisie system hated their lives, but because they had been brought up to worship these aesthetic myths they felt that to question them was an admission of personal failure. what are these myths? they're old and platitudinal but i'll trot them out again: that money makes you happy, that society is right, that poverty is bad, that maintaining convention in every aspect of your life is the ultimate good, that aberrance from these ideas is sin, etc. i'm not going to say that the polar opposites of these clich?s is true, that would be one of the failings of the radical left. i believe that for the most part these criteria are irrelevant. money can make life easier, but it can also make life miserable. poverty can be bad, but it can also be fine. convention has some good points and some bad points. what it all comes down to is a flexibility that should allow for the well being of the individual without compromising the rights of other individuals. when conservatives trot out their litany of evils -- homosexuality, single parent families, multiculturalism, etc, i'm always left asking 'why?'. if people are happy being gay then what's wrong with that? it may be a lifestyle that's aesthetically different from what we've been brought up with, but so what? and single parent families? better a loving single parent family than a 'conventional' family wherein the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue. one reason that we have such a wide variety of alternative lifestyles is that the conventional lifestyles that the conservatives champion are often quite flawed and restrictive. restrictive mores can be terrific when applied to peoples' violent impulses, but restrictiveness is terribly unhealthy when it's used to get people to conform to arbitrary social archetypes. this restrictiveness can make people feel inadequate and inferior and it needs to be done away with. if someone's gay, let them be gay. if your son wants to marry a black woman (or white or yellow or jew or muslim) then let them. we need to love each other and support each other even if we choose to live in alternative but harmless ways. obviously if your son is a rapist or a wifebeater or a child molester then you need to question your support of his actions & values. i'm not championing a retreat from responsibility. i believe that personal and social well being is built upon a foundation of hard work, loyalty, honesty, diligence, respect, tolerance, and other good 'values'. but it doesn't matter what the cultural manifestation of the values looks like. it can be straight or gay or male or female or white or black or anything so long as it's respectful of others and makes the practitioner feel well. so my advice to cultural conservatives (and others) would be to cultivate an approach to values that's based on principles rather than aesthetics. i would also say that any pronouncements on the values of others, especially pronouncements veering into the pre-scriptive realm, need to be cautious, pragmatic, logical, and not just the typically hateful and reactionary vacuities that we've grown so accustomed to. ------------------- if you look at the course of western history you'll see that we're slowly granting basic rights to everyone. a long time ago only kings had rights. then rights were extended to property-owning white men. then all men. then wymyn. then children. then the mentally retarded. now we're agonizing over the extension of basic rights to homosexuals and animals. we need to finally accept that all sentient creatures are deserving of basic rights. i define basic rights as this -- the ability to pursue life without having someone else's will involuntarily forced upon you. or, as the framers of the constitution put it, the ability to have "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". by what criteria can you justify denying basic rights to any living thing? realize that by whatever criteria you employ someone could deny basic rights to you if they objected to your species, sexual preferences, color, religion, ideology etc. would you eat your housecat, or force a mentally retarded child to ingest oven cleaner? if not, then why is it ok to eat cows and test products on sentient animals? i believe that to knowingly commit actions that cause or condone suffering is reprehensible in the extreme. i call upon you to be compassionate and treat others as you want to be treated. if you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed or tortured then you shouldn't condone such behavior towards anyone, be they human or not. ------------------- somehow i've ended up on the mailing list of the christian coalition. i receive their fund raising letters fairly regularly, usually written by pat robertson. it's important to know your enemy, and i consider the far right christian coalition to be my enemy. should i mince my words and try to be conciliatory? maybe that would be diplomatic, but it would not be honest. the christian right makes me sick and here's why: 1) they are dishonest. masquerading pro-business, pro-greed, racist, sexist, homophobic bigotry under the banner of 'christianity' is disgusting. as far as i can tell their agenda has no foundation in the teachings of christ, and as far as i can tell the leaders of the christian right only proclaim themselves as christians because it's a politically expedient way to further their warped agenda. so although they claim an interest in furthering and preserving 'christian culture' it's all just a ruse to restructure the world according to their narrow-minded social aesthetic and at the same time protect and increase their wealth. 2) they prey upon people's weakness. we live in very unstable times, socially and economically. many people are eager for some sense of stability and the christian right preys upon this. rather than encourage people to go forward with open minds and a compassionate approach the christian right urges its followers to scapegoat the easy victims and focus on trivial or irrelevant issues. how is fighting gay rights and blocking multicultural education going to benefit anybody or meet people's needs? the agenda of the christian right is anachronistic and irrelevant and by forcing it upon the fearful and the unstable they are doing a great deal of harm. 3) they are shortsighted. one of the first steps in dealing with any set of problems is prioritizing. you don't worry about fixing the gutters on your house if your house is on fire. likewise you don't worry about gays in the military or immigration when the basic environmental and existential needs of the people are not being met. people eat terrible food and lead miserable lives and breathe carcinogenic air and drink polluted water. we are poisoning this planet and ourselves. if you were god what would upset you more, bare breasts on t.v or the destruction of healthy and beautiful ecosystems? i agree that people would be better off if they were more spiritual, but not in the capitalistic/status-quo way that the christian right promotes. 4) they tend to be hateful and judgemental, both of which are anathema to the teachings of christ. christ said quite specifically, 'judge not lest you be judged.' i challenge the christian right to work out their own salvation in fear and trembling and not worry about the supposed sins of others. hate, violence, judgementalism, bigotry, homophobia, and misogyny are all ugly things, but for me they're particularly ugly and upsetting when they're attached to the name of christ, whom i love. humility is a healthy and wonderful thing and something that seems to be in short supply within the ranks of the christian right. christ preached love and humility and compassion, not hate and judgementalism. my message to the christian right would be to put aside any part of their ideology that is hateful or judgemental and go forth in a spirit of love & humility. if you're going to base your life on the teachings of christ, then do so. the world could use some true christians. the world doesn't need any more hate and blame and violence, especially not in the name of christ.

Schwa | Spiritual Physics lessons, anyone? Hold on to your hat! There are 2 kinds of "places of being"... The first is the Material Plane, the second is the Spiritual Plane. The Material Plane is ANY Dimmension that can contain matter in any way, shape or form. The Spiritual Plane are Dimmensions that can only contain souls. Usually a Spirit Dimmension (that is, a Dimmension that exists in the Spiritual Plane) has the appearance of a single, completely flat terrain that stretches infinitely in all directions, but it's not really physical matter, it just represents the "DNA" of that Dimmension, which can be seen a helluva lot easier than Physical Dimmensions. For example, the Neo Dimmension looks like a desert made of red sand, coated in purple mist, stretching in all directions forever and with a black sky. The Etheral Dimmension would look like a floor made of blue, glowing crystal, stretching in all directions forever, with a sky consisting of changing patterns of lines and light. Souls origionate somewhere, somehow, anywhere in the Spiritual Plane. They usually instinctively inhabit a body somewhere in the Material Plane instantaneously upon creation. There are some exceptions, usually depending on the type of soul. A soul can NEVER die, no matter what. Anyway, anything that's alive has a soul in some way or another... and that can mean the earth and plants, too, though different kinds. To travel from the Material Plane to the Spiritual Plane would only be possible for souls, so that would mean leaving the body beind. Normally this can only happen upon death, but in the SB and RP universes, there are, of course, exceptions. To travel to another Dimmension on the same Plane is much easier, especially in the Spiritual Plane, and the only requirement is a huge amount of compressed energy. This can be achieved relatively easily in the SB and RP universes, thanks to the fact that magic works. Two portals are opened in designated sopts anywhere on the Material Plane by the caster or energy source, and the portal works like a one-way passage. You open the portal, go in, and it closes. What connects the Dimmensions to each-other is Hyperspace. When a portal is opened, it leads through Hyperspace to get to the designated place, but nobody notices because it happens impossibly fast. Think of Dimmensions as cities and Hyperspace as the freeway that connects them. Some Dimmensions are "out of the way", that means the path through Hyperspace that leads to them is complex. An example is the Chao Dimmension in Riddle of the Chao (which nobody has replied to for a long time :( ). This means that an unbelievable amount of energy is required to maintain the portal, such as the Dimmensional Core above the Crystal Psipalace. The "farther away" the Dimmension is from yours in Hyperspace, the more energy is required. And usually, the farther away a Dimmension is from yours, the more different it will be. This applies to both the Material Plane and the Spiritual Plane. |

Oh no! My activity is gone! I don't post anymore. Umm... does anyone even know who I am? o_O Sorry guys, I don't go to #acmlm anymore either. If you want to talk to me, ask around, otherwise, don't forget who I am (well not right away at least...). The charm of this board is gone, especially since a few users have REALLY lost it lately. Said users... you don't know who you are, obviously, because you're too l33t to care. #acmlm also has gotten out of hand. Server moves, dealing with staff corruption, people complaining... what the hell is wrong with you all? Don't get mad because I said that, because I know you will. I'm just glad that there's still there's a good chunk of the oldbies left who haven't committed to whatever corruption that seems to be spreading around. At least I had a good stay with this community, and I will miss you guys, and I'm sure those who still remember who I am will miss me too... from time to time :). What else can I say? No, I'm not officially leaving, but I am phasing out somewhat. Don't take offense to this message, because that'd be really lame. Will I post again? Maybe, maybe not. I decided not to post this as a thread, as not enough older people are left to remember me. :P Check my site from time to time too. Come on, you're already in my profile. :P Ok, see you all later.
