    Good stuff, Neimad and Sean! Awesome to see that the less cranial and more creative juices are still flowing in the You-Knee-Verse
  2. Art of the Saber

    Watch the 5 minute (actually only 3 minutes, with long credits and messages at the end : o ) clip here. . .
  3. Art of the Saber

    Very glad you gentlemen like-ee. . . Saw it and couldn't resist. . .thought it would be enjoyed here. Neimad - I got that little quote from the Pocket Buddha, I believe. Trunk - All it takes is practice & focus, right? Did you like the execution with the backswing? Full of grace. You could see the confidence in his expression (facial and bodily). GT - Was hopin' the fellow ninja would check it out
  4. Beware the ninjas

    redandblack.com news on game rally It's funny how we're so disconnected from each other that we can hardly recognize what's "really" going on ... misconceptions and misinterpretations abound the corners of the world ... Lot's of work to do !!!
  5. Getting Polyphasic by Easter

    Sooo.....how about those people that only sleep (not nap) 2-4 hours a day ? lol
  6. David Blaine!

    Taking Max on a birthday date, eh ?
  7. I'm going to be on the radio...

    I'd be worrying more about the interveiwers. Plato is a whipcrack at retort. His sense of humor is also the best I've ever gotten to experience. No need to worry about a man who can dish it, take it, and swallow it up and spit out the bones. If they want to bring it...that might be one hell of a show ! I'm just disappointed that there was no listing for OH....
  8. What kind of Tea do you drink?

    Michael, that is such a cool idea !! I hope you don't mind if I use that myself ! The top three for me would go as follows: 1. Toasted Rice and Panfired Green Tea - as offered by "Republic of Tea" Alot of people cannot handle the aftertaste that the toasted rice leaves in the mouth with this one, I find it strangely the most comforting. Reminds me of matzah or barley... 2. Valerian and Cardamom with White Tea "home recipe" My grandmother always made this when I was "anxious" and it rocks !! Just remember that Valerian is a highly stinky substance *giggles*, but tastes NOTHING like the way it smells, trust me ! 3. Oolong and Ginger with fresh squeezed juice orange "home recipe" Forget the zinger taste...I love the way this one makes me feel ! ZENergized !!! (yeah, I'm that dorky, hahaha) And now my two pennies have had their last shine for the moment. Probably be off more than usual for a while . . . Pleasant journeys, Michelle
  9. Yoda's tonic challenge

    Just a few things... Glucosamine was a big one a few years ago, I had injured my left knee when skateboarding and that helped majorly speed it up. There were two others, but can't remember them at the moment... Kryogreen daily for a couple years, its an energy juice that also works as a mild detoxifier, aids in digestion (most my life dealt with IBS) Aloe juice and Omega 3 supplement maybe 3 times a week (my doggie takes these, too, in his food) Hey, Max, you do not eat steak tartar anymore, eh?? Long days and pleasant nights, Michelle
  10. looking for Narnia

    I would translate my wild imagination onto paper, and win all the contests in grade school. ) the path seemed crystal clear for this talent at an early stage, so it seems...
  11. Ethics and Morality

    Hey whatever happened to Mr. Falk, anyway? Did he take off to live in those mountains or what?
  12. Morning everyone!

    Namaste
  13. But I am suspecting that this one will be liked more...
  14. very kewl dual tribal dragons black & white for ya...
  15. What is your true purpose?

    Amidst the constant discovery of my innermost self and the universe, I've adapted best to service. This in itself has an endless array of option... Thousands of things are thought of and done by a person every day that lend either strength or weakness to that persons character and ability. Could learning patterns be of importance? That old saying of Edith Wharton's that goes has echoed in me from the first time I looked at the words on a gravestone some odd years ago... That whole feeling of carrying sunnyshining happiness around everywhere you go so that perhaps you can spill a little of it onto yourself in the process of giving so much good spirit - people look at it in different ways ranging from in perfect agreement and love for it to loathing it because of the idea that it only goes so far for some people and that "shit end of the stick" syndrome has stuck it to them hard in the past and blockages may have not yet been removed or for some reason has been able to survive within the thought process and an absent-hiding-behind-the-scenes monstear rears its ugly head subconsciously. One fun goal to play around with is to uplift people, as much as I can. And help them to the paths of realization that lends capacity for meaningful lives. Because there most certainly is meaing to life.
  16. Angels and Aliens, Monsters and men

    Is there a difference between monsters and men? j/k....but sometimes I wonder, though When it comes to the mysteries of these legendary myths and creatures...I try to keep an open mind always without totally giving myself over to just anything I read or what people tell me. Dragons? Yeah, I can see them being of intelligent prehistoric origin. Fairies and goblins? Sure, that takes a wider tolerance of acceptance, but I can still see it as personifications of the true natures of some long ago tribes/peoples/civilizations/etc. We could go on and on about theories and origins with thousands of these types but this kind of reasoning is something that you will find that most people hardly agree on. The truth is we cannot know for sure. But if you listen into your higher thinking and looked into your unbiased/non-brainwashed heart, perhaps you can learn more about these things... I agree that the spiritual path opens you to different kinds of thinking. Separate patterns and habits than the conventional lifestyle so abundant these days. The dwelling years of creatures and people of old ages are long gone, yet we still try to dig up the bones and fallen cities that contains pieces of the puzzle to figuring out all that we can about them. It is fascinating, I think, yet unimportant. Our existence and current reality will ebb and flow as the universe wills it, with indifference to any of our endeavors and accomplishments. And that always makes me think of things like collective consciousness and ascension. Just remember if you are chasing 'the point' around, you may be missing each other for a long time...
  17. Mohammed Cartoons

  18. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    ANOTHER GOODIE:
  19. Seriously, guys...I have read this over and over and I know you're not wanting to hear me pipin' up at this point and asking something so off-kelter... but... it's really bugging me... When did 'Smile' address me familiarly? I kinda feel like an ass for not recognizing...but....ehh.... *smiles anyway*
  20. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    Here's one I've always loved:
  21. Big Forum Upgrade

    I was weirded out by it, too... Actually, I prefer multi-color...perhaps rainbow....ah, well. A tye-dyed one would be rockin'. Or a firey-watery kinda yin-yangin' theme supremo. Err...I must need sleep.
  22. Hostel

    I admit I'm a big fan of the ultra-violent and super-gorey flicks, but still have a long way to go before sickbastardom. (at least I could hope so) I'm excited to see Hostel myself. It just came out today, and unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go out and dive into it. But, hopefully the schedule will provide in this coming week. I also enjoyed Saw/Saw II, yet I'm wondering what you ghastly film lovers thought of House of 1,000 corpses/Devil's rejects. As a small note, I really thought the weirdest thing about the last two forementioned was how 180 the two soundtracks were. Just gave you a totally different feel altogether, much like the strangeness of Kill Bill/Kill Bill 2.
  23. I am a pill popper

    When I was taking herbal/natural foods intensives there were SERIOUSLY stressing staying away from multivitamins. The problem is that they pack so much processed material into one small lump that it just passes right through your body and doesn't get a chance to absorb. With processing, these vitamins become something that your body does not recognize as easily as something contained in fresh, raw form which naturally accomodates your bodily functions. The funniest part- they said it just makes really expensive pee. But what could you do with that?? perhaps that should just be left to the imagination...
  24. Soy is bad news.

    Nothing is more addictive than Rice pudding!!!! Love the stuff I'm also big on SOY...I guess it beats the alternative: MILK. UGGHHHHHH....
  25. I am a pill popper

    Neimad, right on! Fresh, raw, alive... what could be better? *evil grin*
