A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Frickin' frackin' >:C Sunday, November 3, 2013 So I'm doing a research paper on a social problem... We got to pick our own topics, and I picked fracking because I get emails about it from Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity like every other day. "There will be a lot of information on this!" I thought to myself. In a way I was right, and in a way I was really, really wrong. (For anybody who doesn't know, fracking, also known as hydrofracking and hydraulic fracturing, is a process in which millions of gallons of water mixed with chemicals and solids are pumped at a high pressure thousands of feet down into the ground in order to break up shale and release the gas or oil trapped there.) Fracking is a hot topic in the environmental world, and its safety is highly debated... But there's not enough actual solid research on it. There are a few studies here and there (most of which I sadly don't have access to), but there is not a strong consensus any one way or the other. As best I can figure, fracking has the potential to produce a lot of serious problems, but nobody can tell how likely things are to go wrong. Now, oil and natural gas companies are choosing to go ahead with fracking anyway, despite a lack of research on its safety and long term effects. Their argument, as it always is, is that it creates jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, etc... And they say it is safe. Environmentalists say that fracking contaminates ground water and pollutes the air, destroys the habitats of animals, contributes to climate change, and of course keeps us dependent on fossil fuels-- domestic or not. Personally I side with the environmental side, because as I see it, jobs come and go, and the economy will always fluctuate, but if we screw up the earth, there's no going back from that. The planet will probably recover on its own eventually, but we won't be around to see that if we really mess up. I do understand that a lot of people don't have the "luxury" of thinking about these things, because many are just barely scraping by and have to focus on their own survival, though. Anyway I (re?)found this song today. I had heard it before, but I didn't realize these were the lyrics. Also, Cee Lo Green's eyebrows make me think of Jafar. 5 Comments. r u still sticking to fracking? there are a lot of environmental social problems out there which u can choose from. =) aesthetic is even a problem on its own. =) » renaye on 2013-11-03 11:02:30 It is hard to do a research paper on a topic that doesn't have much research done. Though if you can pull it off, it would be good, I guess. The radio version of the song is called Forget You and now that you've mentioned it, they do look like Jaafar's. » Nuttz on 2013-11-04 10:06:45 If you find any papers that you don't have access to, I probably have access to them. So if you tell me their names or send me links I could send you the pdfs. I haven't made my mind up about fracking. Seems like it probably has bad effects but probably not as bad as the Sierra Club claims. I just like it because when you talk about it you sound like you're swearing all the time. This fracking frack! I bet the anti-hyrdaulic fracturing people would have had less hold if the industry had named the process "turing" instead of "fracking". » Zanzibar on 2013-11-04 03:42:00 ahaha, the eyebrows! I honestly have not seen Cee Lo's face sans sunglasses in.... eons? Ever? » invisible on 2013-11-04 04:11:32 the bank i work for has devoted an entire department to fracking, because there is so much of it going on in the counties in pennsylvania. it just doesn't seem right. » thaitanic on 2013-11-04 06:03:00
