"Blast you all!"

I had to watch the third Turtles movie last night. I had planned on watching 2 and 3 sequentially, but to my surprise, the second one had the wrong dvd inside. Instead of Turtly Ninja action, it was some chick flick with Heather Graham. It's so not a chick flick that interests me, so I'm going to go back this afternoon and see if they can find the real disk.

Words of wisdom from Socrates.

But then, O my friends, he said, if the soul is really immortal, what care should be taken of her, not only in respect of the portion of time which is called life, but of eternity! And the danger of neglecting her from this point of view does indeed appear to be awful. If death had only been the end of all, the wicked would have had a good bargain in dying, for they would have been happily quit not only of their body, but of their own evil together with their souls. But now, as the soul plainly appears to be immortal, there is no release or salvation from evil except the attainment of the highest virtue and wisdom. For the soul when on her progress to the world below takes nothing with her but nurture and education; which indeed said greatly to benefit or greatly to injure the departed, at the very beginning of his pilgrimage in the other world.

I have a four day weekend here, and so far, I find myself rather bored and lonely. I'm always lonely, but I am completely alone in the house this weekend leaving me with plenty of time to realize that I'd rather be doing all these things (watching movies mostly) with someone else. Someone else being a girl really...

I did get some new movies from Blockbuster though. There month long movie pass is really keen. Any two movies for as long as you want them, come in and replace them any time, no due dates, and all for like $15-20. It's like that thing in the mail except quicker or something. On the downside, I didn't get Turtles II, but I did get Groundhogs Day and So I Married an Ax Murderer. And the girl I handed the videos to and talked to briefly yesterday was stunningly attractive. Really, the only word I would use would be nyaw (with a sort of gutteral, deaf-speaking sound to the yaw part).

Bwaha!

"God doesn't need a plasma gun, he has LAZER VIZION!!!"

Man, some of pretty much all of the forum discussions over in the OCR forums are just so very retarded. So many complete wackjobs, especially in the philosophy & religious forum. Although, there is occasionally a really funny quote, as the one above.

One thread though, had me thinking about the way in which I do things. Some people brought up the subject of how so many of us don't do things (in this case, asking out a girl, or even talking to her) because we fear the possibilities, even if they are ridiculous. What I found interesting was how guy after guy would come forward and said how they always psych themselves out and place the best women they see in the out-of-their-league category, and often don't even work up the nerve to talk to said girls. It made me think of the similarities and differences between I and others.

The similarity I have most is the one we all have, not doing something because I think of some terribly scenario and think that it can't really go any other way, or fear it worse than a possible positive. Thinking on it further however, I think I do eventually do what I want most to do, and ask what I most want to ask; it just takes me a while. But I most certainly get that whole crippling fear/panic thing. Barfing stomach butterflies are never fun.

The difference that I most noticed though was that I've never really thought of any girl as "out of my league". If I like a girl, I'll eventually work up to talking to her. It's never a matter of her being too good for me (I sincerely hope that beneath my rather shy exterior is not a bigass ego), but a matter of time. Of course, it may be that I simply screen out a lot of the girls that many guys would consider out of their league. The internal screener tends reject a lot of girls really. And I think a lot of those girls guys consider too far up are not the kind I would go for anyway. I don't know, I mean, I do consider certain girls better people than me, but never too good for me.

Hearing so many of these guys, and a few girls, talk of regretting never trying or anything of the sort, it makes me glad that I have tried; that while I have struck out a few times and of different degrees, I can't regret not trying. In fact, the last time, which was with Maria I believe, I acted quite a lot faster than I ever have before. While I am sad not to have anything to show for my actions, I at least have the attempt. Hopefully my next try, whenever and with whoever, shall be as bold.
