I never seem to feel really happy enough to post on the happy thread, and I'm to well off to post in the sad thread. Besides I really don't feel either. Post here if your wasting your life not feeling anything.

Don't post in this thread so Dave can feel like a loner. That way, he'll have something to Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain about.
EDIT: This post doesn't count. :P
My kind of thread.
To bad. I feel like nothing. Always. No matter what I feel. I can tell myself it sucks. Or scream like I'm happy. But it always feels like nothing. No matter what. It is really nothing. Its all empty. It all goes nowhere no matter what I tell myself. Everything is nothing.
I can feel many things yet still feel like nothing, so yes.
im bored
Yes all my emotions feel somewhat fake. So I suppose I feel nothing. In a way.
im playing video games ^^
^ well that's completely relevant.
Well, video games don't really make you feel much of anything.
I only ever feel like nothing when i'm so upset I force myself to numb my emotions.
Or when i'm bored. And i'm bored as hell right now.
there's not such thing as boredom :nono:
Sorry Master Erii.
You still have much to teach me.
I am wrong and ask for your forgiveness :zocks:
You weakling, we are evil together, you need no forgiveness! let us dominate the world
Yes let us.
I think we're taking over another thread. I keep getting in trouble for that. It's usually when you and gameoverlord are around :lol:
*tsk tsk*
*wags a finger at Korley and her accomplices*
I don't remember the last time I felt nothing. I'm usually just content. I can always find something to gripe about and I always make myself find something to be pleased about. But I'm rarely depressed or jumping for joy :D I'm just sort of "eh, life's okay".
I Used to not feel anything, just numb
Now someimes I feel a hurt heart
Hey hey, feelings not allowed in here >: (
There are no hurt hearts, only hearts wanting now to hurt and then to breathe and then to be in ecstasy.
The moon waxes and the moon wanes, but like the Persian poet Rumi says
THE MOON will not use the door but can only enter by the window.
I will explain for Him. The moon is your soul. Your soul loves you implicitly, explicitly, and over and over and throughout, and it can enter you throughout your acceptance and your own ability to love. That is its window. The door is a blockade your soul cannot enter. It's made of jealousies and angry thoughts, and no one's soul should be blockaded by these things, and no one should have to suffer for these things. Your souls have to be in love with the moon to open the windows of total love for all.

Alright Erii, Seroquel... I sense a little feeling here... STOP IT!!!

Good morning, Worm your honor.

This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
You are impressed more by an image than by my soul, my heart, my words then?
Take this to heart then. Are you more impressed by your own image than your own soul as well?
Blame this all on that dude who wanted to debate me in philosophy, even if it seems he is out of his league there as well.
@ Philosophers Stoned, I am strong in philosophy as well as any areas of debate you or any others want to take me up on, bring it on honey:Dbuns!
no, no i am not.
i'm not impressed in you or myself or anyone.
i was clarifying what sero meant.
seeing as you asked for clarification as of what the statement meant.
people who are bored are boring
Mayflow...
You didn't understand that avi meant avatar...
didn't understand that sero means Seroquel...
NOW do you see why people are put off by mysterious nonsense writing that doesn't make sense to them? :?
I am talking about wanting to give that guy who wanted and challenged me to debate with me to debate with me (and all others) the chance to dance the dance of the debate of the subjective and the objective.
Philosopherstoned, you asked for it, are you ready for it?
If a noob fails in the forest, does anyone lol?
this thread = :facepalm:
:cackle:
I could barely make out that facepalm.
Much better.
glad i could appease your ne-
i don't give a fuck!
;'D
I have no idea how you guys see it that way. I just see a facepalm...
**EDIT**
I see it now. Har.
Well, according to the people who posted in the thread I made about it, I subconsciously want dick.
rofl!! I never before noticed it was a facepalm!!! I always thought it was a pile of poo with a worm sticking out of it. :lol:
But after the comments here, I looked more closely and... well I'll be, it IS a facepalm :doh:
A worm lol
HOW IS IT A FACEPALM!?!?!?!?
:doh: isnt this a facepalm???????/
I hurt myself today. To see if I still feel. I focused on the pain. The only thing that's real.
Johnny Cash!!!!!!!! Yes, yes I know, it's a cover of the NIN song.
the NIN version is better >:3
@ Tommo, I guess I should thank you for liking a post of mine here, but this thread has gone brain dead now, but still thanks man.
NOW THANK ME ERII!
thank me.
Johnny Cash's was MUCH better.
this thread is funny
I should make a rule that everyone must have at least 3 drinks before entering this thread.
This thread derailed.
I don't feel a damn thing atm, no. Though I usually am apathetic at everything anyways, so "now" is not too different from anything.
OH MY GOD, DOUBLE POST!!!!!! Mods, bring in the heavy artillery!!!!
Way too many likes have been given on this thread. And I think a 3 drink minimum is fine.
You have no idea how fun it is to triple post.
IKR, its very fun :P

and why are likes a bad thing lolololol
Am I the only one who has drank so mcuh that I keep seeing coiled up snakes in little yellow boxes saying "don't tread on me" over and over again? It's a damned good thing it is a Saturday. Gives a like to Saturday! :-)
It is Saturday, right, because if this is a weekday, I am in a whole heap of trouble.
Exactly how do you derail a thread about not giving a damn? Are the little yellow snakes gone now? They were really getting scary.
no i am a yellow snake you derailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KIsa8-aXpk
I'm dancing to this song right now, and I haven't had a thing to drink. Maybe it is just mental drunkenness.
Reality check now is what Reality Girl taught me. I'm real and I AM REAL RIGHT NOW. How real are you right now? Get it on, sweet one or are you like the philopher guy who wanted to debate and when I accepted the challenge, he ran? Yes, I've been drinking all night, but my thinking is still working so do you want to talk and or debate?
this thread is about not feeling anything xD
Don't go away now, I just got some drink into me.
:uhm:
what?
Yo what up?
....
Ack!! The little yellow snakes are back. Run everybody, run!
:panic:
Solar Flare, I have countless Lucid Dreams and I know very well how to do Lucidity checks and yep I've been drinking tonight but I am at this point still very Lucid. Are you or maybe have you ever even been?
Mayflow, I want to talk to your avi - I want to know if Reality Girls boobies are real?
Alcohol is gonna kill my liver.
O boy, I am playing with teenage boys, aren't I? But even then, give me something to work with. Some Plato, some Magi, some Shamanism, some Hinduism, some Buddhism, o fuck it, I will do it myself.
So one monk is talking to another and the other walks across the river to meditate on the discussion. She returns and the other monk walks across the river to meditate and also returns. Some who see this think they can walk on water too, but they keep falling in. They think the monks can walk on water and they cannot, but the only difference is that the monks know where the stones in the river are and how to use them as stepping stones. It's a metaphor, does any one of you teenage boys even know what a metaphor is for?
a metaphor is a statement that abstractly explains something without the words 'like' or 'as' almost like an analogy.
And Erii is a girl, appearantly 76 :/
:nono:
@ Erii, listen to the mind because knowledge is sacred. Seeing and caring is worthless if it is done in ignorance. Compassion becomes useless sympathy and just causes sorrows to increase if not solidified by wisdom.
Actually yes, quite a few of the people on this site are teenagers - the majority of them probably. Not me, but I enjoy the energy and enthusiasm they have, and I like to socialize with them a bit, even on senseless threads like this one. If I didn't enjoy it, I think I'd just stop posting on the thread instead of insulting everyone on it. Though I can understand why you'd be in a pissy mood just now after the way this thread has gone.
I don't want to debate you, or argue with you... but can we talk?
As in, try to actually connect a bit? I must say, a couple times on this thread I thought you were starting to go with the flow of the convo pretty well, but then each time you ended up either resorting to incomprehensible gibberish or insulting people. Example - Sero complimented your avater. Now, I don't know if that was serious or sarcastic (it can be hard to tell with Sero). Your response seemed pretty insulting. Did you just assume the compliment was sarcastic, or is that just your nature? You seem to do that a lot.
And it was just bizarre bringing up your debate with PhilosopherStoned on this thread... what was the point?
I await some actual responses... preferably rational ones rather than talking over my head or being vaguely insulting.
Sure, we can talk. The point about philosopher stoned is that I actually did want to discuss philosophy, and I still would like to with anyone here. All I get is people using the same sigs and making posts that don't even say or try to say anything until this one of yours. So yes I am willing to discuss and talk or I wouldn't be here. What do you think is important in life? Anybody else is invited to speak up as well, but I was having fun just being drunk and playing around as well, but still it would be nice to actually talk about things we feel are meaningful as well.
Excellent!!
What do I think is important in life?
"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. "
LOL ok, that's a quote from Conan the Barbarian, a favorite movie of mine. That and the Terminator are the roles Arnold was born to play if you ask me. It's a flippant answer, but honestly, I believe humor is important, as well as talking about things you might have in common with people, such as movies and music etc.
I also think deep thought and reflection are important, and to many of us obviously philosophy, religion, spirituality and art. You plainly have a great depth of knowledge concerning these things, which I respect. I feel like maybe you lack a bit in social skills though... maybe? I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but it's a fair bet a lot of us on here do lack some level of social skills. In person I'm not nearly as talkative as online for instance.
Let me ask you this... what do you think is important, aside from the more philosophical/spiritual side of things? Got any hobbies or interests aside from poetry? I think people would accept you a lot better if you open up a bit... I just looked at your profile and I see you haven't filled out anything but the basics.
Oh and I apologize for asking about RG's boobies. I assume that'sher(meant to represent her) in the pic?
I like to Garden and I love to drink beer. Love to take walks in the wilderness. Love sunrises and sunsets. Something I would like to ask you is why the name darkmatters?
I'll try to find it, but I have written some poetries about death, and I actually think how we die is really important. Dark matter can mean several things, and another interest of mine is in physics. Dark matter takes on other meanings there.
Ok, fair question.
I don't know much behind the science of dark matter, but I love the idea of something all throughout the universe exerting powerful forces on it that's completely invisible, and at the same time necessary for what we do know about the universe to make sense. Dark matter to me is the unknown, by that I mean stuff buried deep in our own psyches that people don't face (the Shadow in psychological terms... if you ignore it it will well up and consume you) and it also refers to spiritual realities that we know nothing about but that nonetheless are important in our lives. It ALSO refers to facing the darker parts of life... things many people are afraid of, like what happens after we die. I'm really not explaining this very well, but for reference, you may have noticed the name of my DJ is Because the Dark Matters, I believe it does, but that many people fear the dark and flee into the light. When you do that your own fears grow stronger, hidden away in the darkness, and will destroy you.
I believe the light matters too... of COURSE... but then that was never in question. I just feel that too many people ignore the darkness (mystery, frightening realities etc) at their own peril. As the saying goes, the closer you get to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes.
You've already said on other threads that you love to garden, and earlier on this one that you like to imbibe in the alcohol. Sunrises, sunsets... pretty generic stuff. I feel like you're being very vague and not revealing anything about yourself. You've ignored several questions I asked a few posts back.
How about this.. what region of the world do you live in? Just generally. For some reason I'm getting a Mideastern vibe from you, I guess because your writing often takes on a somewhat biblical tone. Though that could just be because you've absorbed so much religion and spiritual wisdom form ancient sources. Are you willing to open up just a bit and reveal something we don't already know about you? Are you a male or female?
It's hard to place trust in someone who doesn't reveal anything about themselves online.
Dayum Mayflow!! Whoever that is in your avatar should be posted on the Sexy Hawt Females thread!! And don't try to tell me that's you...
my gawd mayflow :P
As I know of it presently, Dark matter is about 25% of the Universe, and Dark Energy (which I find VERY exciting) is about 70%. That leaves about 5% for the nuclear stuff we can see and stuff. Mind boggling, don't you think? A lot of people get obsessed by this even though they don't really even know it. The dark side has its values. Sure, shall we go Jungian? The shadow? The shadow should be acknowledged and revered. There cannot be light without dark. Actually I live right now close to Austin Texas USA. Used to live in Minnesota, what a climate change!
.
I am not a teenage boy lol
Stop being troll like plz
Also why are you analyzing everyone's signature and making comments about them that are completely irreverent to this conversation/ thread, this thread will be locked I bet too lol
I can listen to whatever the hell I want darlin' :D
I would rather be loving and caring than a know it all with a stick shoved up my ass.
Who says it's done in ignorance? There are so many things I wanna say but honestly , I see no point in it, k bye
Good day sir.
Sir? Also I may be missing something but I just am not getting that Loving feeling from you at all.
There, that didn't hurt, did it? Thanks for answering one of my questions.
I'm also an artist/photographer/animator (stop motion... so out of vogue now, but I love the handmade quality of it) and one of the most important lessons I've learned is that shadow reveals form. Light creates shadow of course, but too much light and you can't see a damn thing, or it all gets flat and washed out. Light is like gold... the less there is floating around, the more valuable it becomes.
*** I'm so ashamed of spilling out my soul to the troll that I'm pulling my work down from this travesty of a thread. I'll repost it someplace where it BELONGS. Sorry for my off-topic contributions here.
Hey Darkmatters guy, have you ever read the Tibetan Book of the Dead? You really do seem obsessed by the skeletons - O my gosh, I think I have some stuff you may like about the skeletons. I'll bring it here if I can find it.
Dammit Erii!! :lol:
... But you're right, he is trolling, isn't he? And here I am trying ot make friends and revealing all about myself... I'm so naive!!
Sure Mayflow(er) person! I do dig skeletons, and I like what I've seen thus far of the TBotD, which was just a segment posted online. But I do believe you're trolling neverthelss. I've been laying myself out on the line here, and you've revealed nothing, except the fact that RG has Double D's!!
What the hell. Now I am a troll? Fuck it, I am me and you can call me whatever you want but it does not keep me from being me.
So I see... :cheeky:
Like this then (I hope?)
Skeletons
Ikkyu (1394-1481)
These thin lines of India ink reveal all truth.
Students, sit earnestly in zazen, and you will realize that everything born in this world is ultimately empty, including oneself and the original face of existence. All things indeed emerge out of emptiness. This original formlessness is “Buddha,” and all other similar terms-Buddha-nature, Buddhahood, Buddha-mind, Awakened One, Patriarch, God—are merely different expressions for the same emptiness. Misunderstand this and you will end up distracted for eons.
Filled with disgust and longing to liberate myself from the realm of continual birth and death, I abandoned home and set off on a journey. One night, I came to a lonely little temple, looking for a place to rest. I was far off the main road, at the base of a mountain, seemingly lost in a vast Plain of Repose. The temple was in a field of graves, and suddenly a pitiful-looking skeleton appeared speaking these words:
A melancholy autumn wind
Blows through the world:
The pampas grass waves,
As we drift to the moor,
Drift to the sea.
What can be done
With the mind of a man,
That should be clear
But, dressed up in a monk’s robe,
He just lets life pass him by?
All things become naught by returning to their origin. Bodhidharma faced the wall in meditation, but none of the thoughts that arose in this mind had any reality. The same held true for Buddha’s fifty years of proclaiming the Dharma. The Mind is not bound by such conditioned things.
Such deep musings made me uneasy and I could not sleep. Toward dawn I dozed off, and in my dreams I found myself surrounded by a bunch of skeletons, acting as they did in life.
.
One skeleton came over to me and said:
Memories
Flee and
Are no more:
All are empty dreams
Devoid of meaning.
Violate the reality of things
And babble about
“God” and “Buddha”
And you will never find
The true Way.
Still breathing,
You feel animated,
So a corpse in a field
Seems to be something
Apart from you.
I got on well with this skeleton—he had renounced the world to seek the truth and had passed from the shallows to the depths. He saw things clearly, just the way they are. I lay there with the wind in the pines whispering in my ears and the autumnal moonlight dancing across my face.
What is not a dream? Who will not end up as a skeleton? We appear as skeletons covered with skin, male and female, and lust after each other. When the breath expires, though, the skin ruptures, sex disappears, and there is no more high or low. Underneath the skin of the person we fondle and caress right now is nothing more than a bare set of bones. Think about it—high and low, young and old, male and female, all the same. Awaken to this one great matter, and you will immediately comprehend the meaning of “unborn and undying.”
If chunks of rock
Can serve as a memento
To the dead,
A better headstone
Would be a tea mortar.
Humans are indeed frightful beings.
A single moon
Bright and clear
In an unclouded sky:
Yet still we stumble
In the world’s darkness
Have a good look—stop the breath, peel off the skin, and everybody ends up looking the same. No matter how long you live, the result is not altered. Cast off the notion the “I exist.” Entrust yourself to the windblown clouds, and do not wish to live forever.
Ikkyu (1394-1481)
Excerpted from Wild Ways translated by John Stevens 2003
White Pines press
commentary by Elana at Daily Zen *
Death, the great equalizer, has a way of bringing life into a different kind of focus. Ikkyu’s skeletons share teachings from their point of view, which is accessible to those of us who remember we too will be those skeletons, and in fact carry them with us daily. Getting caught up in the world of form, we meditate and put our toes into formlessness, then get enmeshed again in form. To realize the teaching of the Heart Sutra is one of the highest teachings we can “attain.”
"Form is emptiness; emptiness is form; form is not other than emptiness; emptiness is not other than form."
That about sums it all up, but realizing the depths of this teaching can take lifetimes or no time. Just to hear this and contemplate this teaching plants seeds that will awaken when the conditions are right.

Wooooowwwww you need to stop mayflow xD
What is this thread anymore?
It needs to be done with
OK, you got my first "like" I've been called many things both good and bad, but NEVER a flying Unicorn bladder. That was definitely unique. I only like you right now because I'm really drunk though, probably and when I'm drunk I like everything and that can be sometimes dangerous, so that's why I am alone at home on a computer. Its just a safer place to be and I really like it here.
Yeah, even I'm done with it now, I feel so used... :bang:
Hi Tommo.
I'm gonna go with Phil8659.
Maybe even Jeff.... hmmmm....
Not sure actually.
Bets people?
I take it Erii doesn't possess the keys to lock a thread?
I'm going to go to bed now, Nighty night all. It was fun tonight but I probably won't return here anymore so goodbye and all.
Scared you off by asking you to reveal something about yourself? Typical troll behavior.
So is RG going, or mayflow? Hopefully both.
What the fuck have I just walked into.
you cannot walk into a thread, you click it and it loads onto a page, then you type the sentence you want to post on to the thread. There is no walking.
lol i dont know im bored :/
To me, it's something I walk into.
I fear this thread is lost....
i just read through this thread (rhymes! ^^)
w....t....f....
....did i miss? :crying:
aww, :zocks:
It is a dream, Korely and you are the dreamer. You can make of it whatever you want to make of it. This is not anything other than a dream, I assure you. People post here in their dreams and they think they are awake, but this is just a dream, girl. If you understand you are in a dream while you think you are awake, you will have something quite wonderful. The best of two worlds, Korely, the best of two worlds.
