I think it is because of the anonimity.

I have had a yahoo account off and on for years and today I inadvertantly clicked on something and have been virtually stuck here for four hours unable to move. I have a life and things to do but here I am. I do that stuff later when normal people are sleeping, I guess. If I am not still here that is.

I am traveling for work for the next 2 weeks and I am bored silly. Yeah, that's it.

I am a reasonably sane person but this is just crazy.

Why is okay for car insurance companies to only take women whereas if I started a company that only accepted men, I would probably be sued?
If women want true gender equality, why do women still insist "you can't hit me i'm a girl"?

So awhile ago, I'm out with my friends and Court TV is playing in the background at the bar. We all watch when this smoking hot blonde is shown at a press conference. It's a woman named Debra Lafave out of Florida who's 25 years old and was arrested for having sex with a 14 year old male student (link to a picture of her and the story below).

We'd been drinking, so of course, so we joke about how this kid must be the luckiest SOB to walk the planet, etc. But I digress.

The question: why is the female teacher off the hook for "having sex with" a 9th grade male student, but if the genders were reversed, it would be "molesting"? How damaged is the boy really (I'm trying to remember being 14...seriously, I think I'd be OK...)? Or is a double-standard OK in instances like these (and if so, why?)? I think of a 14 year old girl and a 25 year old man and I get queasy and want to kick the guy's @$$, but why don't we have that same reaction when it's hot teacherette/boy student?

We got this "interesting-read" handout in class today about the elderly... It was funny because we took hand-votes in class and the majority of the class always voted "True" for each statement! and I don't know...maybe they're right? If you're an older person and can disprove any of these statements, go for it! (I read it to my mom and she just laughed :))

1. Older people are less productive than young people.
2. Stress is more prevalent among the elderly than other age groups.
3. The quality of health care available to older people is generally better than that available to others.
4. Sexual desire and activity in old age gradually declines.
5. People in retirement are generally well off and receiving adequate benefits from the government.
6. As people move into older ages, it is more likely that men willbe left alone.
7. The elderly almost inevitably become senile and slow-witted.
8. As people age they become more rigid and inflexible.

So this amazing girl that seems like she was kinda leading me on was just talking to me on msn, and she pretty much just asked me if I was planning on asking her out. I told her no because I heard from a friend that she told him that she didn't want me to ask her out. She told me that she had told him (lol) that it would be weird if I asked her out since I knew that she only wanted to be friends... which I didn't until just then... I really like her... possibly love her, she was actually my first kiss. I'm not stupid I know I need to get over her, I just don't know how. I actualy feel like crying right now lol. Anyways the last few days Ive been sitting and talking with her on the bus. Normally she reads on her way to school. I just had wanted to hint to her that I was really truely interested... now I dont know if I should sit with her on the bus tomorrow or just take my own seat and smile as I pass by... it was an aqward conversation, but hopefully one day I'll get over it... =*(

my brain keep thinking, working all the time.

even when i wake up in the morning, i have some new thought from sub-concious part of my mind.

how can i change this habbit ? or should i change this habbit ?

if yes, then how to relax and stop thinking ?

i saw some few meditation techniques, but i don"t think i can do that, such techniques are not my cup of tea.

i know i am doing reasonably good and this thing helps me in taking better decisons, but all the time.....

it is quite stressful also to keep using your brain all the time..

I feel very calm and relaxed.
I like when my heart is on fire and my body is steady. Because I feel like I am really growing.
