Join the Race to 10,000 hits and WIN!
Okay, you see that little counter on the side there? On the left, just below the links from Cyberia and above the Referring Sites list?
Well that little babies going to hit 10,000 today!
And to celebrate I'm going to send the lucky 10,000th visitor something cool. Not something in email, not something 'virtual' either, something tangible, real, IRL cool!
So here's the deal: if you're lucky enough to be surfer number 10,000 I want you to take a screenshot and email it to me at thehephepcat@hotmail.com The first valid 'undoctored' entry with the correct counter number will have the aforementioned cool something sent to them (or to a valid nominated address). In the case of the actual 10,000th visitor not claiming the prize - I will instead pass it along to the person who emails me the closest valid 'undoctored' counter reading.
I'll post a picture of the item in a box before sending it - so you know the rough dimensions of what to expect. Good Luck!

Ancient Defense Against the Dark Arts and Modern Psychology both preach the need to 'name one's demons'. Speaking it's true name represents recognising it for what it really is and is the first step to solving the problem.
This is because most demons have embarrassing first names like Gunston, Mildred or Erectile Dysfunction...
(More filler? I know, I'm sorry - I can't help but think I was a lot smarter before I started going to the gym... that or I had a lot more time to come up with stuff that made me look smarter.)

And I thought Computer Chess was boring - sheesh!
I would love to have a copy of this... for mythological research purposes of course...

A wise man once thought that we were all One Being experiencing our lives subjectively through a non-linear reincarnating Uber-Soul. This parallel uni-existence meant that all crimes commited, were ultimately commited against ourselves and that all selfless deeds sprang from a selfish desire to help oneself.
I suppose we might All be One...
...but that sounds kind of lonely to me.

the thinker or the thoughts?
Am I the thinker or am I the thoughts themselves? Is there a difference?
Sometimes it seems I am merely a spectator watching notions unravel. As if neuro-chemistry or biological entropy generates concepts and I simply read them as they spool across the teleprompter of consciousness.
In further news: self examination of ones own quintessential being seems impossible. To attempt to turn the critical eye upon itself is like trying to see ones own face without a mirror.
Extreme introspection is painfully frustrating.
Now here's Bob with the weather...

It is my belief that Evolution occurs in all things (or at the very least, in all things that are subject to change) - most observably in the realm of the mind, where the ongoing struggle for the survival of ideas ultimately decides the fate of each of our own personal universes.
My halfbred mutant concepts battle it out on a daily basis - and as in nature, only the stronger ones survive to pass on their gene-like notions to the next generation of ideas. Older, nigh-immortal, institutionalised viewpoints (religion, social morality, the flawed belief that more knowledge naturally equates to more truth) are handed down to us from parents, teachers and other figures of authority - but these too must prove themselves in the hostile environment of logic, emotion, repetitive conditioning, television, peer pressures, marketing, boredom and bodychemistry.
Yet are our concepts becoming stronger? More advanced? Better? Or are our concepts arbitrarily tolerant of current environmental dangers?
I find the latter more likely - and wholly indicative of where the human race itself has landed in the evolutionary scheme of things.

I said I 'may' return to that previous post - but I totally missed my train of thought and am left waiting at the station for the next one to come along...
...besides, the words: traveled, theorized, circles and trajectories - were all spelt wrong. I suppose I could claim it was some elaborate test* - but I'm too embarrassed to even attempt such an obvious ruse.
I think I hear the next loco-motive (crazy-reason) approaching though - so please stand back from the tracks...
- Soul
* like the one I believed I was in when I was a child - where the 'real people' from the 'real world' would step out from behind some dimension cloaking curtain and take me to the universe that didn't suck.

The revolutionary universe...
we once believed the earth was flat. that the sun travelled across the sky and back underground to start it's journey again in the east the following day. that we were functionally in the middle of the cosmos, with realms above and below.
discoveries were made and discoverers were persecuted. rationality persisted and our view of the universe changed. the earth remained the middle of the cosmos for a time, but now other celestial bodies like the sun, moon, planets and constellations circled us.
that's pretty much when the whole thing began accelerating. soon we let go of the notion that we were in the middle of it all. our sun became just another star. all those stars became just other suns. we found different types of celestial phenomena - red dwarves, binary stars and black holes. we theorised about point singularities and event horizons.
the revolution came in accepting that revolution itself is the primary function of quarks and electrons and swing ball and moons and planets and stars and galaxies and possibly beyond... that we all revolve around each other in ever evolving cirles and complex curves... that we are as much centre as we are edge... rambling through the universe in seemingly eclectic tragectories of ineffable chaos...
...kind of like what i'm doing now...
(gotta work - may return to this later)

Booming discordant intro music and stirringly enigmatic voiceover:
"All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is Life. Medium atomic weights are available - Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel... Sapphire and Steel have been assigned..."
Joanna Lumley and David McCallum played the eponymous pair of interdimensional investigators charged with protecting the universe from various evil forces. Sapphire had extra-sensory powers and limited control over time, whilst Steel could reduce the temperature of objects to absolute zero and was super-humanly strong.
The special effects were deplorable, with the evil force often no more than a torchlight creeping mysteriously up the stairs or some woman with dodgy eyeliner application, but it carried an atmosphere of spooky sci-fi/horror that very few high budget shows have ever matched.
There was talk of a DVD release at some point - if you should see it somewhere, I recommend giving it a watch.
