Your transformation is beautiful. You took a risk and it paid off. I'm happy for your happiness.

Re: A Brainless Nod: After a Year of College

Dan, fantastic that college has turned out to be such a positive experience for you. College campuses are such exciting places, so much energy and activity. I guess there is a kind of hope and optimism one doesn't easily find in the workaday world. The excitement of learning and meeting new and interesting people every day. Hope next year turns out to be as enriching for you as the last.

Such a fuss over nothing. If people don't like the ad, they can just ignore it. Censorship is certainly not the answer.

I have two blogs, Patrick, both containing my original aphorisms.

Animals are now and have always been a big inspiration in my life. I've learned more about living from observing and being around animals that I ever learned from reading books or being in school. Would be curious to hear more of what you have to say about the 'magic' in life.

What an exciting time in your life! Hope LA lives up to all your expectations. I just got back from visiting my daughter in San Diego. Had so much fun walking the beaches and soaking in all that sunshine. When you get a chance, travel highway 1 up the coast toward Monterey and Big Sur. The scenery is breathtaking.

Sounds like a lovely way to spend an afternoon, especially with a beautiful sunset thrown in at the end. Funny how a building can achieve such worldwide fame simply because it leans. But I guess we humans are irresistibly drawn towards all that is unusual.

Re: What Do You Mean We’re at War?

If you have to have a war, that's the kind to have. Not a bullet fired or a person wounded or killed.

Fascinating. What an amazing world we live in! I love to hear about all the strange and exotic places in the world.

Re: Persian Debates Were a Hell of a Party

Better drunk on wine than drunk on power. In the 1960s, we thought that if everyone smoked pot that'd put an end to aggression and war. Maybe wine instead could do the trick.

Re: Baffling Thoughts #6 – Milking It

nothingprofound — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 11:08:34 -0000

I stopped drinking milk when I was 3. Can't stand the taste of the stuff. Supposedly, it's good for kids because of the calcium and vitamin D. Nevertheless, I've managed to stay fit and healthy without it.

Pretty diabolical! But that's nature's way. I suppose how we treat our fellow creatures isn't much better.

Re: Urine + Spiders = Gross

nothingprofound — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:13:20 -0000

I wonder what would happen if the procedure were reversed. Would scientists start spinning spider webs? When I read some of the stuff physicists come up with, I suspect that might already be the case.

Re: Baffling Thoughts #5 – One Month Anniversary

nothingprofound — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 11:03:39 -0000

You're so right. An online friend of mine started two blogs a few years ago-one with beautiful photos and inspirational quotes, the other about her cats. You don't have to guess which one gets all the traffic.

Re: The Blob Fish

nothingprofound — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:14:15 -0000

Ugly? Beautiful? What does it all mean? Just some silly categories we humans have invented. I'm sure the blob fish could care less what we think of them.

Re: Baffling Thoughts # 3 – One Country

nothingprofound — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:28:39 -0000

It's a great idea. One that goes back to Socrates and maybe even before. I think it's wonderful there are different cultures, languages, customs, types of song and dress, art and dance. Unfortunately, instead of a spirit of collaboration, mutual respect and appreciation, we have instead nationalism, greed, envy, competition and condescension. People want to feel special, and feeling special means being better, more important than someone else. Unhappily, I don't see this mind set changing any time in the near future.

Re: 5 of the Weirdest Jobs in the World

The fortune cookie job seems like a day in paradise compared to the others. Terrible what some people have to do to survive in this world.

Re: Baffling Thoughts #4 – Recurring Dreams

nothingprofound — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:02:47 -0000

They're pretty vague. A combination of places I've visited, but nowhere in particular. Could be the streets of a big city or near the ocean or in the woods by a stream. The central motif always seems to revolve around people, interacting with people. My dreams are very social just like my life has been,.

Re: Baffling Thoughts #4 – Recurring Dreams

nothingprofound — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:07:53 -0000

Fascinating. I've never had a dream of that sort, anything mythical or supernatural. I seem to dream about traveling more than anything else, sometimes to familiar places, sometimes unfamiliar, in the company of or in search of, old friends.

Re: Pure Power Panda: Motivating Monday: Let Your Inner Yoda Shine

nothingprofound — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:20:13 -0000

I absolutely agree. Always be attentive to people and treat them with respect. Let them know that their thoughts and feelings count.

Re: Pure Power Panda: Motivating Monday: Don't be so hard

nothingprofound — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:12:32 -0000

Good advice! The saddest thing I've discovered in this life is how little love and respect most people have for themselves and others.

That was fabulous writing. You drew so many wonderful insights about human nature through your analogy with the snake.

Re: The Writings of Nicole Bataclan: Elevator music

Nicole, sincerity of emotion is also what I value most. The whole world seems to be drowning in cynicism and cleverness.

Re: The Story Behind Life Cycles: Unfulfilled - Michael Hutchence and 'Life Cycles'

nothingprofound — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:38:09 -0000

Neil, although I'd never heard of Hutchence or his music, I still read your post with great interest. Sad he never got to see his daughter grow up and share her life. An incalculable loss for both of them.

Re: Life Cycles // The Truth and The Evidence: If Only.... James Holmes and 'The Dark Side'

Neil, I don't believe any such medical condition as "insanity" exists. I think Holmes is responsible for his actions and should be treated accordingly.
