.Our Love Is Deeper Than The Ocean...(humor) *


So...why are my feet dry?
Why ask what I want to see,
Then click the remote on
'Deadliest Catch'?
My love (read that as occupant) ,
Are you convincing me...

If there was just ONE woman
On the jury,
I'd never be convicted?

Why ask what I was doing
With a screwdriver last night...
When your car won't start this
Morning?

Oh. Nuthin...just wire connectors
To the injectors,
Timing chain and intake
Manifold.

Lil sis had two brothers.
Piss me off. Go right ahead.
You ain't seen your transmission
Yet...

Your mechanic will...

Hello All,...I read a bit of philosophy years ago,And I often wondered did they get near the truth?,....Surely,We are a stage up from animals(Self-Evident!),And what developed our rational minds was language,Which got more complicated and our minds in parallel,....However we in parallel with many animals our interactions are built on climbing to the top of the pecking order(Alpha,Beta etc),...This is what Disco's and Public Houses(Bars)and Schools are about,....Some of us get out of this rat-race,refusing to exercise power over others,the only power to be exercised is positive(That is helping others),....Which gets to the definition of GOOD and BAD,Is "bad" committing unnecessary actions that are destructive to oneself or others or to this planet?,...I find alot of people have this inherent need to commit bad(Hurt others),However only if they can get away with it,And this is where climbing the Alpha/Beta pecking order comes in!!?,....So what do you think?,....Philosopher,Jemmy.

". . . But after a long period of commercial intercourse [trade], there appear among the crowd of barbarians both good persons and bad, unevenly. Consequently there are those who smuggle opium to seduce the Chinese people and so cause the spread of the poison to all provinces. Such persons who only care to profit themselves, and disregard their harm to others, are not tolerated by the laws of heaven and are unanimously hated by human beings. His Majesty the Emperor, upon hearing of this, is in a towering rage. He has especially sent me, his commissioner, to come to Kwangtung [Guangdong Province], and together with the governor-general and governor jointly to investigate and settle this matter. . . ."

-- "Letter of Advice to Queen Victoria"
from Lin Zexu (Lin Tse-Hsü),
Chinese Commissioner of Canton, 1839

This letter to Queen Victoria relates most directly to the outbreak of the

2. Sino-Japanese War

Hi. I've just started ballroom dance and need to buy a proper pair of shoes. My teacher directed me to a good website and said that heel height is a matter of personal preferance.
I'm very comfortable walking in high heels, but is it a good idea to get shoes of lower height for practice?
Thanks for advice :)

Shifted With Time

Although yesterday it wasn’t the case,
Today I loved you.
The day before yesterday I wasn’t sure.
But tomorrow, maybe it’ll be the same.
A month ago I found I hated you.
And two weeks later I missed you.
A year ago you returned my devotion,
And yet nine months ago the feeling no longer existed.
Five years from now I’ll question your well being.
And within a decade you’ll be another story I tell my kids in fairytale form,
Even though three years ago your existence wasn’t known to me.
Thirty years from now you’ll forget how I looked if you haven’t already.
Fifteen years from now you’ll think of me while reminiscing about the good ole’ days.
In three minutes this poem will be complete,
When just two seconds ago the idea of you was fresh.
Tonight of Thursday I’ll stare at a clock that reads 11:07 PM,
Wondering what will happen if I call and spend one hour proclaiming,
How much I love and need you,
When you’ll hang up in .5 seconds.
And even in the 22nd Century buried in a cemetery,
I’ll remember the tears that fell,
Scarring generations of children and grandchildren,
That I’ll swear should have been yours.
And when my alarm goes off in the morning of the week after next,
My conscience will carry you.
I’ll look at my watch as the grandfather clock chimes another strike
You will not hold me in a precious state.
Forever is the never of a present that doesn’t see a future based on a past that we shared.
Happily ever after is the once upon time where your feelings have yet to change,
not so much as mine.
Six months ago, this all could have been circumvented.

According to the Law of Attraction we attract our reality based on our thoughts, feelings, and general vibe. However previous thought was that we created our reality ultimately by our attitude and behaviour. Is it possible that we react to already controlled stimuli, or do we create the situations for said stimuli to exist?

Why did Marie Antoinette get her head chopped off and go to jail alone? My friend teacher told us some stuff about it, but she never explained why he head got chopped off. Why? I'm really curious!

You made it so easy for me,
To put a smile on my face again,
To sleep alone at night again,
Fighting tears that was once oozing like rain.

You made it very easy for me,
To keep on being sane,
To stop me from being disdain,
From shrinks and anti-depressants.

You made it really easy for me,
To fall in love all over again,
To have what I thought I’ll never regain,
You seriously have stimulated my dead brain.

You made it extremely easy for me,
To forget that I’ve been bad before,
To forget that he has hit me before,
To forget the pain inside me before.

--->'tis is for you hun...

When you take photos with digital cameras at night, it may take 20-30 seconds (or more) to take a photo. I don't understand how you can shoot movies with darkly lit scenes if each shot (frame) takes longer to shoot. Why do the rules of photography not apply to movies if movies are based on photography? Thanks!!!

This Christmas, I plan to ask my parents for either one of these programs. After asking one of my talented designer/illustrator friends for her input, I was almost sure I'd ask for Photoshop with Illustrator, but after looking over her work using Painter, I began having second thoughts.

I know this depends heavily on what I want to actually use them for. I'm planning to get more into graphic design in the hopes of actually turning it into a career, yet I also want to start creating my own manga, so I need to know which program will be better suited for both those things.

When answering, please don't forget to consider the costs and the difficulty it takes to master both programs. I would like to know which one is more affordable, user-friendly, and worth all the hype and money. Also, please include whether or not I will need any additional things, such as tablets and whatnot, in order to enhance my experience or make mastering either program a lot easier.

Thanks.
