Plymptoons Aplenty

[wednes]

Holy Cats Man! If any of you have the Sundance Channel, do be on the lookout for these gems...these sheer and utter cinematic delights: that's right children I refer tot he work of one Bill Plympton. They are showing Mondo Plympton, which is a collection of shorts, plus The Tune which is damn trippy, and i think some of the Mutant Alien stuff as well. Man...that guy is a genius!

We met one of our neighbors tonight as he was locked out of his apartment. He hung out and watched TV with us for like, 3 hours or something. He was blown away by our awesome television choices...it being Sunday ngiht and all: Simpsons, Sopranos, the Practice. Good stuff. But I think Ellenor might have killed Rebecca DeMornay.

I've also been pondering humanity again. I hate that. I am thinking about how ultimately, everything people do is self serving in some way. Everything I do...I mean think of stuff you don't like to do: going to work when you really don't want to. Myself, i pretend I'm being a stand up guy and being there for my team, when really I just dont' want to deal with the crap i would face if I didn't go in. Actually, its' true that I care enough about my co-workers not to screw them over like that; but perhaps that's because I appreciate how important it is to have good friends and to be thought of as reliable. Even people who give things up for thier families or whoever, and they seem so selfless. But people do all kinds of crazy and horrible things in the name of others and that doesn't always make them less selfless. okay, perhaps I am rambling here. I shall stop.

You know what else though, I have alwasy considered myself to be a very open, outspoken person with no realyh communication issues...except maybe being a bit TOO vocal at times. But truthfully, I'm not so much. I'm very good at telling people what I THINK; but not so good at saying what I FEEL. i'm not trying to get into a mushy girly thing or anything, but that is kind of important.

Anywhoo:

I have to go to the big dumb stupid doctor at 11 o'clock in the stupid morning tomorrow. and I don't stupid want to. But I have to, so i can not die or whatever. See, I'm doing something i don't want to out of sheer self preservation. If I can't control my blood pressure, I will die before I am as renound as I should be...before I ahve written something that will terrify horrorfans everywhere, and will be made into a movie by the Japanese.

Oh, and Mad Props to madush69 who loaned me his copy of Sims.
Giggety Giggety!

Alright children, bedtime.

no ellenor just punched that bitch really hard.. im glad she did that, she was pissing me off, but I was shocked to see her fly all the way across the room after that. I thought it was funny at the end of the episode you see her being carried away on a stretcher.

by the way, are you on any medication for your blood pressure? is it too high or something? Everyone in my family has high blood pressure, so im bound to have it sooner or later.. but I watch my salt and and caffeine intake, so up until now I haven't had many problems. But when did you start noticing you had problems with your blood pressure, how old were you I mean.

It was not until my late 20's that I have had BP issues. It is pretty high, and they are trying to find me the right combination of meds for it.

I do not have much caffienne, no coffee or caffeinated soda. but i do eat chocolate.

[cousindell.livejournal.com]

that's the one bad thing about having high blood pressure.. most of the time your doc will tell you to change your diet.. sure it's easy to cut out pop, coffee and tea but chocolate, I have to say that's more difficult to cut out of your diet then anything.

im guessing if you don't eat that much chocolate it won't have that big of an affect on your bp, therefore you won't have to completely stop eating it.

Indeed, I am careful. it's been good because now I only eat the best chocolates.

All acts are inherently selfish. I challenge anyone to name one example of an unselfish act. I will of course explain how it is selfish.

I agree. If I go to a homeless shelter and help hand out food, it makes me feel good. I would feel like I was helping someone. Therefore, it would be for selfish reasons that I helped (because I felt good afterwards). I wouldn't do it if it were a miserable, terrible, sickening, disgusting thing to do. It may not be my favorite thing, but it does give me a sense of satisfaction when I complete a day of handing out soup, and Bibles.*


* Stop Laughing. This is an example. I'd never do that sort of volunteer work because it doesn't make me feel good to do it (again, selfish). It's unfortunate that it happens, but I'm not the guy for that job. I also have a great amount of respect for social workers, because they have bigger hearts then I'm willing to give, and put up with a lot more crap than I'd ever be willig to put up with.

I think it's Hindu who try to reach Nirvana by reaching a state of mind where they don't have any desire for anything beyond the necessities of life. No desires, no craving, nothing. The catch is to reach that point if you desire to reach nirvana then you will never get there, because it is a desire. So to reach it you must give up all hope of ever reaching it. Catch 22. Just when you don't want it anymore, you get it.
