I was in a bar and I walked up to a beautiful woman and said, "Do you live
around here often?" She said, "You're wearing two different-color socks."
I said, "Yes, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."
She said, "How do you feel?" And I said, "You know when you're sitting on a
chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs and you lean too far so
you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like
that all the time..."
-- Steven Wright, "Gentlemen's Quarterly"

darakat - Now with pockets!

darakat, "To believe in absolutely nothing is to believe in one thing, that is to believe that it is possible to believe in absolutely nothing, therefore it is impossible to believe in nothing, as you must believe in one thing."

_PsI_X_

The mind is like a metal, when we are young the metal is a liquid. As we grow older and experience life, our personalities change thus moulding the metal as it cools and hardens. The metal forms into the unique shape of our personalities. Strong experiences when a person is young will affect the shape of the metal more than when they are old because the metal is vunerable to shaping then. Any experinces that happen once the metal has hardened will cause a dent in the personality or a flaw if you wish. -Its our experiences that we have when were young that forms our personalities.-
