CB's homosexuality - yea or nay thread - had some excellent back and forth, don't you think?

Don't you think? Don't you think? Don't you think? Maybe………………….

I think. Maybe too much. But I can't seem to help it. I think that somehow, some way, through my life experience, I have gained enough insight regarding, "what is good and right," that I have actually become - "good and righteous." I don't know exactly why "I think" this - I simply do.

I think.

I don't really, "need other's doing my thinking for me." I think, I know, I need - "to listen to other's who think" and then, utilizing my "life-long accumulated goodness" - "I re-think" - thus blending any new information gained via listening to other's. This allows me to formulate "new thoughts" which can lead to new, righteous opinions - and can eventually lead to new, improved levels of goodness and righteousness.

But, it's a big mountain and I think and know that I am not perfect, as no one is. I know that it's the attempt at ascendance that counts in life, not winning the prize of perfection, perfect thought, perfect good, perfect right. That perfection is impossible to reach because it is infinite in its accumulation. A never creseting mountain of goodness. You can never be too good - you can always improve, be better, be more good.

It's when one stops trying, stops ascending that mountain - stops thinking - when one actually becomes wrong.

So, if you don't really listen to other's, with a very open mind - the open mind of a "thinking person" - then you have stopped, you are wrong, you have become - bad.

Following rules for societal sake is one thing - not thinking beyond them is wrong. Not ascending, not wanting to improve upon them - is simply not thinking and is wrong.

Never, ever - rest upon the laurels of other's thoughts, ideas and rules - if you do so, you have stopped, you are wrong and you are bad.

Always "think" and always strive for the never attainable goal, the goal of "perfect good." And you will always be right - you will always be good.

All you gotta do is think and listen and think and listen.

Yeah right Spark - but is it worth the sleepless nights?????

"I think" - so.

Sleepy, feeling around a 7.5 today - cloudy and semi-cold in the Apple - missed David Blaine. Heard he looked like death when he came out. Wonder where he is now?

Have a good day - keep the thoughts up. Way up.
 
Mornin' Sparky

Saw Blaine on GMA he is home and resting. I thinkI missed something though. They made a big deal out of the gel they were putting on him since he would not be wearing a shirt yet when he came out of the ice he had one on. What did I miss?

Feeling about a 2 today. Still sick and the rest is explained on my The worst Birthday thread.
 
Good Morning Sparky & All

Well....I'm still a 10 this A.M.


David Blaine...saw a bit of the show last night before heading off to bed! No wonder I didn't see you Sparkman...I gave up looking for someone fitting the description of yourself! ;) He didn't look all that good! Where is he now...probably digging himself an early grave! LOL!

Have a great morning all!!
 
Yeah Julia.....

The Blaine thing with the sweater remains a mystery to me. I must check the NYC papaers - they reveal all.

As for the trick itself - really not all that tricky. Eskimo's heat their icey hunting abodes with their own body heat - that's all Blaine was doing - had to be at least 50C in there.

The real trick was standing up for 3 days!
 
Morning Sparky and all. I think I remember seeing Blaine tying a sweater around his waist and then later, slowly putting it on him, might have been day 2, but I might be wrong also. Today I'm at a 5 but moving up.
 
I am about a 3 today. I have to sign the guardianship papers for snickerdoodle today and I have to call to see if I go to trial tomorrow!!
 
Morning *grumble, grumble, grumble*

This day (and week) can not get over fast enough. Off to Woodstock tomorrow. A quick cafe' with the Toad man.

Have a good day guys.

{{Expertise}} sorry you are having a bad week too.
 
Blaine

is an idiot. Did you listen to him speak at all before getting into the iceblock? 'Huuuuuhhh yeaaah, it's gooonna be cooold but I think I can do it..' *rolls eyes* I suppose you have to be missing some part of your brain to actually attempt the incredibly stupid "tricks" that he has. Or maybe he was just seriously doped up to get him through the ordeal? Who knows. Who cares? I didn't even bother to check 'n see if he was still alive.

I'm a 5 today. Bored, listless, uninspired... blah.

Should go home and pull the covers over my head and hope to dream the dreams my life isn't giving me. That could be a good thing.

I "think" maybe a good meal at a fabulous restaurant with valued friends may help.
 
Ah - to dream.....

Yet not to reap benefit from the dream.....

To too easily dismiss any import.....

What a shame that can be.
