Thank you Rook. You are an exceptional man, do not let anyone ever tell anything else. You always astound me, by managing to be kind, thoughtful and caring. But also stand tall, be hard as steel and never back down.

Fun Fact: I do not talk very much in person, I do not presume most people I interact with would care to hear about what ever weird things are going on in my mind. Alcohol loosens my tongue, naturally...but then the trick is getting me to shut up as I go off on rants about various esoteric topics, rave about random movies and cartoons, and generally become more opinionated about almost nearly everything.

Sounds like me and my brother when we go out drinking.

I wish it was easier for me to openly share my thoughts and views with others. I confide in no one...maybe I don't trust any one enough to tell them my weaknesses without thinking they will think less of me. It's a personal flaw, can't blame anyone but myself for being guarded(I have little reason to be)...I'll just have to find someone I can be comfortable with, I guess...I don't know, that seems more likely than changing who I am.

I'm highly opinionated yet not an ass about it. I've been called a brilliant conversationalist and find that I have at least one thing in common with anyone regardless of background.
I don't suffer fools though. If someone has something worthwhile to say I will listen, and if not I'm very comfortable saying to someone "I don't care".

I listen, I'm pretty good at that. Sometimes I am able to slip something I think is profound into a conversation and sometimes people will seem impressed, but mostly I just listen.
Though I have been known to ramble quickly in stilted tones when I am anxious or nervous...in fact I tend to type pretty much the way actually speak, which you may have noticed...can result in a rather awkward collection of words.
...and numerous pauses. (and asides? Yes...but you have to listen carefully.)
What you're all missing out on is the occasional outbursts of strange noises and my tendency to exclaim "Oh no!" when ever something exciting, unexpected, or beneficial happens in my presence. It just confuses people when they read it...it often confuses people when I say it, despite the up beat infection and jovial tone of voice.

I once told somebody my secrets and things i never told anybody. I then loved said woman until i found out telling her instantly creeped her out and she never spoke to me directly again. Then everybody made me feel like nuts for it except 25%-33% of nice guys that went through that or people who didn't know or care. However letting it out made me feel like less of a psycho and that made me feel better as how i felt was really only perceived as such because people didn't know the reasons for me coming to those conclusions and really it was more a viewpoint. Strangely enough nobody insulted these views.
My point is try to find somebody you know you can trust by trusting them with smaller things first. Knowing somebody very little or for a very short time and trusting them so much is generally a bad idea. When you find said person then tell them some of this or you could tell this entire message board. I've heard plenty of things said around here and though i think rook is an alright guy and he teases me like a younger brother (i do the same with hetlan except he hates me for it whereas rook just annoys me) he did have some fairly crazy idea in my opinion. I won't lie i've heard some crazy things but i think even he's found like minded individuals such as orren for said opinions and thoughts on life.
I'm sure what you have to say isn't too bad ymmot. It couldn't be as bad as dexter from the show 'dexter' or you having the corpse of your mother in a room. Besides even i have a mild bit of insanity in me and a want for violence in my mind. Maybe i just think having a ridiculous amount of power and killing people with it would be fun (people that deserve it or in my eyes at least take up arms) but i don't act on it and i'd probably never do it. Actually killing somebody is usually much harder than most think which is why most people that haven't killed somebody before in war generally don't shoot at said targets. Doing it, saying you can do it and thinking it are totally different things. It might be easier if said person is a horrible scumbag that makes life worse for everybody (one thought i have is killing scumbags that prey on defenseless people for money, rape, etc.) but even then taking joy in taking life is not a good thing even if supposedly deserved (doesn't mean i can't beat said person's ass around for fun though). Said person you hate probably had a messed up life or went through a bunch of weird conclusions to get to where they are or maybe they're just a little crazy to start with.

D'aw, I haven't dreamed of murdering people since I was an angsty teenager.
I've come to really dislike pain and suffering and the idea of inflicting that on other people is about as appealing to me as having it inflicted on me. I understand and accept that sometimes violence is necessary, sometimes it is the only justice for unjustifiable acts...but justice must be free of malice, violence with hatred begets vengeance...and revenge only begets revenge.
There was someone I told a lot of things, and though I often made myself feel very foolish that person always had a kind and encouraging word for me...she isn't around much now, but I knew then that this would eventually be the case, I don't think she's one to linger long...and while she said she sometimes day dreamed about visiting me, she told me that she never stayed.
I do not handle well when tempted with weapons of mass destruction.

Just remember it's an odd thought i have mostly because i think god powers would be fun. When i say god powers i mean just like it sounds. Possibly the closest example is the game 'prototype', some games with psychics and games with jedi.
Anyway i'm going to let you guys think about something. This may seem weird to say and i am not some animal or tree hugger but contemplate it for a moment. As people we eat so many things that were alive and in many cases farms could be thought of as practically concentration camps for animals. Animals are raised to serve us and they die to serve us for food and such. In some cases we hold them in areas to fatten them up and sometimes we chain them down for the same reason. If what we did to animals was humans instead it'd be considered so ridiculously terrible. I know that eating animals and plants for food is ok but i think a lot of them deserve better and more humane treatment before death. Not to mention even animals close to us like dogs and cats can be put to sleep if nobody buys them from a pound or possibly shelter and we have so much control over them that we can even neuter them to prevent them from trying to mate. I realize they're animals but when you think a living thing is lesser than you then you treat it worse. This is the case with everything. Sometimes i wonder if some highly advanced race found us and decided we were lesser and did many of the horrible things we do to animals and people we have decided were lesser during our history. We'd consider it genocide and horrible war crimes and female dog and moan about it and yet some of it might be deserved. Life is weird.
Next sadly about people what urinees me off is similar to something rook said before. I am definitely bothered that humans for the most part do not know how to survive on their own anymore in case something caused all of our electricity to just stop. People can still cook things without a microwave thankfully but people for the most part have no idea how to gather food or kill it. Problem is that even if we could do it we'd be competing against the large number of people all searching for food. Without electricity a lot of things would go much slower and it could probably be restored but it might take a while esp. if all devices that use it were just stopped. They used to talk about things like EMP bombs and certain solar activity causing this (reasons for dropped calls) and some of it was pretty terrible sounding (even if possibly far-fetched). I'm sure we'd manage but we are now in an age that's so dependent on electricity and if it was to just go out we couldn't do much of anything.
Something that also annoys me is that people are no so specific in their job task and so oblivious to how most things work. This is probably normal in many cases but knowing a bit of how everything works is good too. I mean specializing in something can make you really good with it but it can make your abilities so focused in one spot that you can use something from another area with it to come up with some new and improved device. Science shouldn't be as separated from itself and history is very important to know. There may be things people know in many different fields and this knowledge must be shared across the different fields for betterment of society and the people in it. My problem with only knowing how to do one thing is if you're in a factory putting legs on a chair and passing it down to the next person to build it then nobody really knows how to build it. Things often effect other things just like if you don't brush your teeth it can also lead to sickness supposedly due to the bacteria and yet people still separate this knowledge so much that figuring these things out becomes so much harder. If they'd at least discuss it with people in other professions we might advance a little more rapidly.
Finally something else that bothers me is the way in government how there needs to be more knowledge of what the people do and their current situations. We also need to understand changing a law could make a bunch of other laws and things defunct if we don't change them too. With knowledge of people's situations we can figure out how to help them the most and why something is or isn't working.
There are so many ideas i have and many are as good as these, a bit worse and also much better. Of course i'm just some guy that lives in a crappy state with the worst economy in the country and needs a bit more motivation to do some of this. Who even knows if somebody's willing to listen to what i have to say. I'd probably just say it on the internet like on youtube and that'd be like my podium and voice or microphone. Problem is the internet is so full of haters but in many cases maybe that's what they really think and it's more honest than the people that clean out what they say to prevent getting their asses kicked and people thinking badly of them. Who knows though as they can get banned on the internet. It's a little hard to say.

Should probably be posting in Hookah's Drunken Posting Thread...
*Goes to sleep*
Weak sauce after only two bottles of wine.
It was just enough to break the cycle of insomnia I've been experiencing for the past week or so, and allowed me to actually get a decent night's sleep and wake up at a reasonable time this morning.
You're an alright guy if a bit crazy and you do pick on me but i feel you try to do what you think is right to an extent. You expect to work and you look out for yourself. While i admire your survival skills and your ability to look out for yourself there are plenty of other good skills or good traits too. I'm sure you lack some of them like we all do.
Also where the hell did FFE go? That girl's been coming and going a lot but more going than coming and i hope that didn't sound too dirty.

I saw this a couple weeks ago, isn't it freaking incredible???? There is also a guy on that same website in Spain who takes a standard nerf gun and transforms it into a bolt pistol or boltgun for you. It is quite expensive, but still pure awesome!

Yea 2400 is a bit much. I have been wanting to buy a train set and try to convert it to 40k-esqe. I just think since I collect Krieg it kind of fits them pretty well
