It happens every now and then - you see something on the forums, and you quickly think to yourself... "Why the devil am I here? Why do I share my thoughts and feelings amongst utter morons?" I had the feeling last night, and I am sure many of you have at one time or another, asked yourself the same question. For some people, the answers to those questions point to far to the dark side... the cons out wiegh the pro's... so, they quit. For me, I dont have to think about it for t...
Uncertainty is basically a derivative of fear, we fear what we don’t know, and we fear the wrong choices. We fear the difficulty of what we know to be the right choices. How do we know they are the right choices? We have to trust our intuition? How can we be certain that our intuition is trust worthy, when we are conscious of the mistakes we have made in the past? Heart and mind are both strong in their own right, but how do we amalgamate these separate strengths to become the force of ...
I was fortunate to chance upon this Link in my quest for ultimate glory! Excactly what ultimate glory is, well, that remains to be seen, but chess boxing is defintely involved in some way. The World Chess Boxing prefaces this glorious epitomy of perfection as follows ~ The World Chess Boxing Organization (WCBO) has taken the patronage of this new sport under its wing.

You can check out the winner of this years Philips Digital Arts festival right here . Wait for the web page to load and then pass your mouse over the face in the image a few times. Finally, leave the mouse over the nose of the image. I think advanced interactive PC use is closer than we think - we are a very lucky generation to be witnessing these advances indeed. BAM!!!
As prisoner's of society, we witness greivances as misfrtunes on a daily basis... a broken home, an ignorant acquintance or an offensive blogger. Some people crumble under the pressure, become jaded and closed... un-able to understand perspective or consequences, no consideration for future events, and a hostile train of thought. Some choose to learn from afflictiions, greivances, and carry what they know to everyone else, the ancient Chinese referred to these people as the 'Sage' The Sage...
With the imminent release of Fahrenheit 9/11 in Australia, it was only a matter of time before Michael Moore chimed in with his opinion on Australian politics… Personally, I am a fan of Michael Moore, and what he stands for – sure, I don’t agree with some of his methods, and he is the master of misinformation, but as far as I am concerned, he doesn’t really have the faintest idea on Australian politics, so he really shouldn’t make inflammatory remarks directed towards our government. At a ...

A young woman in Melbourne was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the Yarra. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the freezing water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier, crying. He took pity on her. “Look, you have to much to live for,” he said. “I'm off to America in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day." Moving clo...

Spider-Man isn't your typical superhero; he isn't perfect. That's why we love him, writes Danny Fingeroth. There are other superheroes, to be sure, and they all have their appeal. Everyone knows Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. Even people who have never read a comic know Superman's "Up, up and away" and the catchphrases of the other heroes. But no superhero has ever captured our hearts like Spider-Man. What magic did Stan Lee and Steve Ditko unearth when they created the web-spinner ...
This weekend was one of the first in a long time where I didn’t go out expecting to make some lovely ladies night… There are several reasons behind this… a. I am completely smitten with a beautiful woman at the moment, I wont be doing anything to jeopardise my chances b. Going out with the pre-determined notion of picking up isn’t healthy c. This weekend was diagnosed as a weekend of practical research I really have to go out more often with the above mindsets, because I have never t...
America-bashing is a global sport but, from Vidal to Chomsky to Moore, no one does it better than Americans themselves, writes Chris Middendorp. "I am willing to love all mankind, except an American." - Samuel Johnson In his irreverent book about US government, Parliament of Whores , the humorist P. J. O'Rourke, with characteristic disrespect, describes the American political system as being like fast food: "Mushy, insipid, made out of disgusting parts of things, and everybody wants s...
Day in, day out, I struggle to articulate my thoughts and beleifs on the Middle East. I love it when others do it for me. The President is right about the lack of freedom in the Middle East, but wrong about its causes, says Jonathan Freedland. George Bush may not have read much history, but he likes making it. The recent run of insider accounts of the Bush White House show the President is a man with a constant eye on the historians of the future, anxious to lend every moment just eno...
