Hey all. As you may have noticed I added a nice little link to the discussion forum just like Josh C has on his blog. Now if you like, you can watch this all day.  |

Here's a little statistical rundown for you. The average American consumes five times that of the average Mexican. He also consumes ten times the rate of the average Chinese, and he consumes thirty times that of the average Indian. Because of this Mother Earth could die, and it will be mostly our naton's fault if things do not change.
Allow me to take a moment to define "Mother Earth" so as to avoid needless confusion. With this phrase I mean the environment necassary to support US. OUR mother. Don't get me wrong here, I know as well as you that even after a complete and total nuclear holocaust life will go on here. But it won't be us. That's my point. We are destroying our own environment. With this in mind please spread the word that November 23 is national Buy Nothing Day. Again, allow me to explain so as to avoid confusion. The point of this day is NOT to cease consumption for a day. We all know that even if it did stop for one day that the next day or the day after that people would need to buy again. The point of this day is to demonstrate to nobody other than yourself that restraint is possible. That you an go an entire day without buying anything. And if you can do it, then maybe you can make a habit to discipline your consuming. Maybe budget your spending, and curb over-eating. Maybe with the surplus you might end up with you could do something worth while. Maybe donate to a museum, or public radio, or even AIDS research. So, please at least consider not spending on November 23rd. Soon the 22nd, fill up your gas tank, buy groceries, and maybe make ourself a lunch to take with you the next day. This is just a suggestion. Not a demand. Consider it. |

Okay, so mr. Josh C has provided us with a Forum to post topics on. This can finally replace the busted ass "blog out" crap.
Here's the link. You WILL need to register to use the forum. OUR NEW FORUM Linking to a post in the message board is easy. <[a href="url"]>Link Description<[/a]> Just remember to remove the [ ] from the tags and it should work just fine. For example... if I wanted to link to the first thread in the forum I'd type out <[a href="http://daguys.proboards24.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1066940369"]>OH YEAH!<[/a]> And when I remove the [ ] it will look like this OH YEAH! I will say that the overall look of the forum needs some work. Definately needs a light blue background instead of that green color. But this provides us with a much better and easier way to post messages. |

Life Is A...
It's always strange when you find yourself driving along a highway and there is not a single other car with you. Highways aren't meant for one person, one car. In those hours long after the world has gone to sleep, where your only companions are a dead radio and the wind gusting in from your cracked-open window, it's easy to imagine being completely alone. It's easy to imagine having always been alone. But there are signs of those who have come before. Black streaks from tires betray the presence of those who have come before. So many black marks. You can see how many people have made mistakes on the same stretch of road. How some are short, straight, marks. How some twist and veer off to the left or right, into the unforgiving concrete medians or onto the more accepting shoulder of the road. So many mistakes on the same stretch of road. The road bleeds the echoes of tires screeching to avoid accountability. Of hearts pounding. Of moments frozen forever in the lives of those who have come before. It's easy to imagine when you're alone. |

Deep Thoughts
with Joey Moore You ever wonder why roaches are called cockroaches? Do they just have really big ones? For bugs, I mean. Or are they the reproductive equilvalent of earwigs? Speaking of earwigs; they have neither ears nor wigs. Hmmm. |

Women Trouble, or, as we say in English: "trouble."
So I'm seeing this girl. She is pretty cool. I guess the best way to put it is that there is nothing not to like about her. And I do like her. I just don't think I want to be going out with her. Maybe it's not just her, though. Maybe it's that I don't want to be feel tied down at all. Well, not even that, I don't feel tied down. But I'm not used to considering other people when I make plans or go out. It's only been a short while, so I'm thinking I should probably not jump to any conclusions without sufficient evidence. Maybe (as David would put it) I'm just being fussy. Maybe I'm just so used to being a hopeless romantic I don't know what to do when love is requited. Or most likely, it's the yearning in my loins that I feel for Nick. Oops. |

Hi, Everybody!
Guillermo here. I've managed to weasle my way into the fine writing institution that is Chimera Eyes. Thank you multiculturalism, aka, the new racism. I am afraid that I must warn you, things may get a little

A brief pause in the turmoil we are currently experiencing:
Just wanted to announce, officially to all of you, the union of my sister, Lisa Brewer to Mr. Michael Malicke. It was a beautiful ceremony and tears of joy were shed all around. I've made it my personal goal to become better acquainted with my family after many years of being the self-imposed black sheep, and told them so. The sentiment was greeted with warmth and more tears. :) That's all, just a little lighter note to try to lift everybody's spirits. |

What is the meaning of self? Is it merely that entity which is lies within us, self-aware and conscious? Or is it something more? We wear so many masks - student, friend, son/daughter, lover - that we sometimes lose ourselves. I'm asking this because, as of this weekend, I realized that I didn't know who I am. I don't merely mean that my current personality isn't the "real" me... I mean that I don't know who the "real" me is anymore. It's as if I am merely the sum of the masks that I wear - that there never was a "true" self, that I am nothing more than the pale relfections of what others want me to be.
Sorry, waxed poetic once again... Anyway, I'd really like to hear what others have to say. I know that some of you out there have a firmer grasp of your identity and I'd love to find out what they think. Kanpai!

Since we're all so keen on posing questions for debate; here's a humdinger for ya'll:
So you have this thing, right? Now this "thing" represents just about any relationship you would consider a major force in your life; a friend, a romantic relationship, a teacher, etc. So this thing comes in and out of your life very quickly. It is there just long enough to give you a taste of all the good it has to offer but not long enough for you to experience any of the drawbacks it might or might not bring with it. You don't know because it was gone too quickly. Now that it's gone you long for it. You liked it so much, maybe even loved it and it was taken from you in a flash. Due to the circumstances do you end up missing the ideal version of this thing, and not necassarily the thing itself? Yes? No? If that's true, how do you convince yourself of that fact so you can move on? CAN you? If it's not true how do you move on? How do you replace this need? DO YOU replace this need? If you never even realized the full potential of this thing, how do you grieve or have closure for it's loss? This maybe too many issues to tackle at once, but it was rolling around in my head, and begging to come out and it needed more attention than Poop Shute could offer it. |

So there I was, sitting in my car, when it hits me... There was nothing here... A floating void... My car was a metal ark, sheltering from the furious storm that raged outside... Keeps me afloat in a sea of trouble... There was no Pain, no Hurt... At least for a little while...
The music softly filtered through the speakers, a gentle buzzing in my ear... Here, my heart didn't Hurt so much, didn't feel like a leaden weight dragging me into the depths of an Abyss... I could learn to like it here... Away from it all... It was a metal womb, wherein I was ensconced and safe from the Outside... The music's tempo increased, the gentle buzz became an incessant droning... It all came back... The Pain, the Hurt, the Anger... I had held them all inside so long, that I didn't know what to do anymore... They streamed forth, engulfing every fiber of my being... Shit... Today would not be a good day... |
