It's just that all women make these broad generalizations about men.

I used to meditate a lot. Transcendental, Zen, visualization... I gave a 22 page report on it a few years ago.

Usually it's just visualization now. I find writing and skateboarding to be forms of meditation in a sense though.

If, for whatever reason, gender no longer existed... and we were to sidestep the biological and physiological elements of this (like... hormones), well...

Firstly, there would either be an apocalypse because people couldn't have sex, or, as you posited, there would be some sort of new social order that we, fitting into the current social order, would find maddeningly different from what we are accustomed to.

Realistically, the acquisition of wealth and land and power would become less valuable over time and the population would drop dramatically, all of which feeds into itself.

Expectations determine giant portions of our collective reality, so just as you'd have no idea what to do with a yacht because you never thought you'd be rich enough to have one, in a social order ruled by inherited wealth, people having kids would have no idea how to raise them necessarily, having never planned to do so.

This is actually an interesting hypothetical. There was a really good movie called "Children of Men" that illustrated how Dystopian the world would become if all women started being born infertile - the idea being that within the parameters of a society that understands its ephemeral nature entirely while being resolutely incapable of completing what is considered the 'biological imperative' of continuing the species, humanity would, scientifically speaking, go utterly apesh~t.

Seriously though.

Halfway through Season 2. Season 3 begins in April. I highly suggest giving this thriller/drama a try, with as little information about it going in as possible.

I figure I've been cheated on at some point or another in my life. Not in the relationship I'm in now... because, you know, I'm just so much fun.

As much as it sucks, if you date a lot you've probably been cheated on.

I thought the last two Fantastic Four movies were awful. Like Torgo said... they didn't even have the value of being so terrible that they entertained. The writing was sloppy and lazy, to be kind. Michael Chiklis was absolutely wasted. Chris Evans decided he'd rather have a shield than be able to turn into fire (and I really don't blame him since Disney is killing it).

I'm honestly at a point where I no longer care about the canon in superhero movies anymore. As much as I have these defined images of how my favorite characters are supposed to act... most of them have been around for decades and already have decent iterations and incarnates. Why keep repeating the same damn story?

Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan are talented actors, and I'm excited to see the director of Chronicle directing this piece (and it's also nice because Jordan was in Chronicle and has worked with Teller before).

Ultimately... I'm just not very clingy about it. Maybe it will be lame and miss the mark, and maybe Sony will bring some of the success of Days of Future Past (notice how that is the only movie mentioned in the trailer) over to this one.

Otherwise, maybe they should just sell Fantastic Four to Disney, which is, from what I've heard, what they're considering with Spider-Man.

And can we all stop making fun of The Thing? Dude's a rock monster. He's got it bad enough.

Love you, 2Kids.



Torgo, you rock too. Haha.

If I'm going to the gym I'll hit free weights and machines, depending on what I'm doing that day, along with jogging or running for at least half an hour.

Outside of the gym I climb lots of stuff, which is still probably my favorite thing to do (aside from skateboarding, which is a good leg workout and very decent cardio/endurance).

Hahaha.

I joined this site when I was 21 and still in college. Originally, the creative writing forum is why I signed up.

As the forums indicate there are actually a variety of topics that have utterly nothing to do with dating, such as my really weird... well, I don't even know what the hell the thread I started back when really is, but there are a lot of pictures of pretty things, and some ugly things, and some pandas.

There has never been a point where my profile has said that I was looking for anything other than friends, even though I've done what could be considered dating people that I've met on here. I'm currently in a relationship, and through all of the relationships that I've been in since 10/18/09, I've been fairly active on the site, despite often having an utter lacking of any "romantic" intentions.

Also... I strike up conversations with random people in real life all the time, and I don't restrict myself because of their gender or age. I love stories. This is how I received intimate details about the strip-search procedures in Eastern Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall while I was getting smashed on cheap wine at 10 AM outside a Starbucks on some really boring street in Florida.

Strangers can be fun.

Love is an abstract and lazy term. Tell this person what you actually feel.

2Kids! What's up?

Well, hello, basha.

There are a bunch of great movies coming out of Sundance from what I'm hearing. I'm sure that when they get wide releases there might be something you'd enjoy.

And if not... There's Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle next to Velociraptors. Come on! That's just fun.

Hahahahaha! They made Dr. Doom do the bad-guy finger tapping thing! He did it!

The Fantastic Four (2015) trailer is out!

And it actually looks pretty dope, in my opinion.
