Addictive Behavior (INCEPTION ON YOUR OWN MIND???)

Posted on July 16, 2010 at 10:30pm 3 Comments

It occurred to me recently whilst trying to break some of my bad behaviors that perhaps this "addictive personality" that my family and friends tell me I am prone to is nothing more than just that: words spoken to me by others. The idea that my genes are more prone to addictive behaviors makes me think in the practical sense. Where does being substantially more at risk to addictive behavior become to my, or anyone elses' advantage?

The best way I can explain, or create any sort of workable… Continue

A Promise. (Project ASC propaganda?!)

Posted on June 20, 2010 at 8:27pm 3 Comments

I have long held a journal and written in it about my progress. After the initial affects of project ASC, the day Chiren explained it in his live stream, I have written about how my mental state has slowly become less and less stable. Since then, I have revived all my old, unwanted behaviors, and the mental and physical side effects associated with them. They are what I perceive to be "capitalistic coping measures," or ways of dealing with the harshness of a reality set forth by a capitalistic… Continue

What's all this about no red meat?

Posted on May 6, 2009 at 4:00am 0 Comments

Edit (10/22/4): I wrote this quite awhile ago, while I still don't eat red meat, I've changed my views a bit regarding the way I explain my position. I really don't care what other people eat, my main point of this article is to explain why I choose not to eat red meat. After you discover the way it's processed and choose not to live an ignorant life, you too will likely think twice before biting into a burger. Just saying, ignorance is a sure way to live a…

dealing with trolls

yesterday it was the eurovision song contest.I went into a newspapers internett site (dagbladet if anyone is interested) and saw they had a forum for discussing the results (the results where coming in at the time). much of the forum was covered with the comments of two people, both trolls, one in norwegian and one in english. they where claiming that norway lost because we sent an immigrant to the finals (the guy was born in Iran but came to norway when he was just over 1 yrs old), and other…See More
