Alienation, why do I puke out words when I could say them so much better if I took the time to stop and write like someone who is worth reading...

So, I thought that I would write something worth reading as well. I was studying for an exam the other day and reading about different theories of perception, such as Direct Realism, Indirect Realism, Phenomenology, and Disjunctivism. It was all rather mind boggling, but I think that I have a grasp on what each of the positions was trying to say. As I sat there thinking, I began to realise, not for the first time, just how much of a facade our physical existence is. I thought about that one thought for so long and hard that my vision began to blur and it was as if the world was vanishing before me. Now, I don't do drugs, other than medicinal pain killers, MEDICINAL, but is this wierd? Does this happen to normal people? I was told yesterday that I am not a human, and I am inclined to agree. I really have no idea what humans are talking about and why they would do the things they do. Am I the only one, or is this alienation felt by all those who has gazed at a wall until it has disappeared? Maybe I should stop reading Emily Dickenson, she was a wacko...but so right. Ahhh, maybe if I go contemplate the colour green everything will glow with an emerald sheen. I want to climb a mountain and have a maitai kickboxing match with a blind tibetan monk. Anyone else in?

Not human? well, you must expand on this idea..what is it causing such an alienation? And of course I'm hot, but I'm just as good as taken, so you can forget that.
As for the dear Irishman, are you not attracted to these women who, not by the best means, gain their 'hot' appearance?

Andy, I've been there, You are not alone!
And I am SO in!

I like the way nobody does anything, then I post one, and there y'all are...

and Jen....No.
I can look at them purely physically and say that SOME look hot, but honestly, when I see a vain, shallow, low-self-esteem, bing-purge skank, I just feel sad...and if they are a bitch, disgust. Now, I know that even as I said in my post, they are products of their times, and so I can defer the blame, and feel badly for them, but honestly, I am far more attracted to a true woman who has a real body, a real mind, a real spirit, and isn't a burned out plastic shell with exposed ribs, no brain, and an eatign disorder...pity...just pity..

Virginia Woolf wrote once about a spot on the wall. It wasn't very long, but it had no characters. And no your not alone. And yes you are Human. Everything your feeling has been felt before. Now remember, rank, file, and lets finnish off this nature walk already! we need to get back to the Jr. anti-sex league headquarters by 1430! HUT! TWO, THREE, FOUR! hut! two, three, four! hut! two, three, four! . .. ...

I likes womans...they're sure purty.

Well Jeff, I do hope you act on what you say. Philosphy without actions is simply horrendous, and heaps to many people fall into doing such. Not that I think you would be such a man to not do what you say, but there are a great many males that do agree with some of that which you wrote, yet, well, they're guys. So I pretty much had no reason to write any of that.

Anyway, where then is the boundary between the healthy and the unhealthy? And where is it that we begin to shovel ourselves out of that which we are in?

Well that's the problem right there isn't it, EVERYTHING is screwed up, so where do we begin...way I look at it is it doesn;t really matter, you've got to start somewhere, and everyhting is fair game, so start shoveling!

I would think that the boundary is phsychological, like I said, doin fit right or wrong can both lead to looking good, but it;s the underlying self esteem and mental/phsychological issues that are the true difference.
So for that reason, even if I am very much 'just a guy', with the ol' wandering eye syndrome, a short talk with the 'unhealthy' girl in question would quickly show these underlying issues, and at that point, regardless how outwardly attractive she may seem, the only thing for an honorable man to feel is perhaps sadness and a paternal wish to help the poor, broken girl. Then there's the dishonorable jackass guy's who manipulate girls with low self ewsteem into an unhealthy, manipulative, immature, and unhealthy "relationship"

Nothing you did. I was cursing Jimney. That cricket is always painting me with a black brush. Mickey is a eunuch and Minnie is having an affair with Goofy.
