The concept is hilarious from the our perspective, in the real world. But imagine a reality where this shit actually existed and panties were flying creatures that could move at jet speeds. That would mean that humans in that reality had copied their natural abilities to make air craft, and for some reason worshipped them enough to wear copies of them over their genitals. I wonder... do these panty birds eat sock worms?

I was bored...
Posted 15 years agoIf there is one this that makes me want to cut a length of barbed wire and floss myself with it, it's people who say they do everything because they were bored. From my perspective I'd only use this to futily try and gain some imunity from all the criticism I was about to recieve. Or maybe to cover up the real reasoning behind something, like posting pictures of yourself because your super vain or super desperate for attention. Or people who turn out god awful pic+music, amv, or lyrics on youtube because they are desperate for views and plan to use the band's popularity to boost the chances that they can waste someone's time with a low quality video+sound pile of garbage. I've never believed that inspiration comes from boredom. No. The things that come from boredom are unplanned pregnancy, really big messes, broken bones, dead livers and consequently damaged cars, overdoses, prank calls, mentos rockets, pissing contests, couch forts, over eating, phone calls to ex girlfriends, listening to old CDs, watching TV, buying stuff that nobody really needs, arguements, and my personal favorite, watching a tremendous amount of porn.
It sucks that we can get bored, but it's not an excuse, or an enlightened state, it's boredom. Why can't we all just accept that not everyone will like what we do, or even better, if you think everyone is gonna rip on you for a crappy video or picture or even a recording of you singing, don't submit it to be eaten alive. We don't need to submit everything we do to the internet.

On the subject of originality.
Posted 15 years agoAs I see it, throughout my life I've only had two perspectives on the subject. In one I see everything as original. In the other I can't help but see nothing as original. (In the end I wonder why it even matters)
In times of my life when autonomy and individuality were crutial to my self esteem, it was crushing that I would naturally adopt the second perspective. How overwhelming and shaded the world feels when no matter which way I'd turn I could feel the footsteps of another beneath my own feet. And looking around I'd realized that nearly all of my know how and morals came from others I felt like less of a human being. The thought that no matter what I'd do, it would still be nothing new to others was real sad. Sometimes it seems like the everything is merely a product of something else as everything influences everything else, and the world almost seems to copy itself. Which is a confusing thought. I stood and stand on the shoulders of giants, just like others do. Which is okay.
But if I think subjectively, I can't help but think of all things as original. If someone does something and I mimic it, it looks childish. Of course it does, this is how the kinesthetic learn things fast, especially so in childhood. But it's just a way of learning things, not a regretion... er I think thats the word I'm looking for. And after all, although it isn't new to the world that you do something, this doesn't mean it isn't new to you, and it doesn't mean that it has any less value. So, I guess thinking this is okay too.
So it's all okay, right?
