Thread: other interests

Well I used to like physics and stars and stuff, not as much anymore though... I like music... music is an "un-explained" thing right?

it's an art form, which I think is connected to something of a higher energy level.

Ok... I don't get it!

I think a fair amount of us here have a LOT of far out interests. I read a lot about religion, philosophy, the nature of reality, quantum physics, strange theories, gonzo journalism, crazy poetry; I write poetry(the crazy kind), I write stories, I play video games(some, rarely any more), I have done a little art with my friends. Mostly, I read. I'm here to learn about what being here is. Why are we here, and how can I make the best of this existence. I'm young, but the nature of reality has haunted me since I was VERY young. I've never had any "true" system of organized beliefs, and probably never will, because I think it all starts to look the same after a while. There are patterns in everything, every where. A lot of things seem to make sense, but even more things don't. We learn, and we stumble, and we gape our way through life. It all has meaning, and I will just keep my senses ready to find that meaning. I have been to the bottom, and have risen back up, and yet I'm only 19. I have been through things other people only imagine. You want junkie? I was there. I've even done heroin(in the form of a speedball(speed and heroin mixed), that was supposed to be ecstacy, but we tested it and found out it wasn't). I've run with the rich, the poor, the middle class, the intelligent, the stupid, the extreme, the mundane, and I feel like I've experienced a lot for my short period here in this existence. It all feels like it's building up more and more every day to something big. I just stay calm, live life, be as happy as I can, and take shit slow. I am a high school drop out with an IQ over 140 that does Digital Photo Editing for a living, while trying to support my parents(and hey, my brother got laid off today, YEAH!), so I think the world is a pretty fucked up place. I feel like I've seen a lot of the pain and suffering(both physical and mental) that there is to see in this world, and now I'm ready to move on to the beautiful things, and leave the madness behind, to be remembered as a great legacy(that I can barely remember, ).

So... there you go, a brief summary of the composite of the madness that has made me me.

I've never had any \"true\" system of organized beliefs, and probably never will, because I think it all starts to look the same after a while. [/b]

Same here, I just jumble a bunch of religions together to make my own religion. I'm chritian and jewish but I won't get into that...

Also, I probably have a high IQ (at least 120-130), I just act really stupid because it's fun...

They say the line between genius and insane is thin, and let me tell you... it's VERY thin, my friend. I know, and so do many of my long "lost" friends... we lived in a shitty place growing up(I know, I still am growing up), and... well... some of my friends are still living that life. It's sad.

I don't get it...

Ode To Music.

VERSE 1:
Sing, sing a song of songs,
Sing it out, sing it strong

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

The sweat pours from your body like the music that you play
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
So come on and play that funky music white boy
So come on and turn it up, bring the noise!

Tonight we’re alone and the music is right tonight
Do you feel good do you feel alright tonight

CHORUS:
Music is great, it’s good for you and me
It’s the one thing that can set your spirit free
Whether it’s rock or rap or country or punk,
Reggae, hip hop, metal or funk!
Push it through those speakers, and play it real loud
Nothing is better than that sweet sweet sound
When everything is looking down and everything is wrong
I know I can always lose myself in a song

VERSE 2:
Sing, sing a song of songs,
Sing it out, sing it strong

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

Can music save your mortal soul?
Well, I love rock and roll
Music makes the people come together
Through music we can live forever

Tonight we’re alone and the music is right tonight
Do you feel good do you feel alright tonight

I'ts cool hearing about everyone It's like were all so different but all so the same. I guess that's humanity, we're always trying to separate and catagorize and it draws us further apart. Like second I'm still looking for answers but at the same time go with the flow. I've come to reolize we all have a cross to bear( sorry the religious reference ) Sometimes I find it hard to not go against my own positive self interests...I'm my best friend and worst enemy.

nope

hey, every kind of music is a way to express your talent and feelings and shit. different strokes for different folks

Of course, I am into LD'ing and exploring my inner conciousness. I am currently experimenting with Brainwave Entrainment. I also like to read and discuss philosophy, both eastern and western.

I am also into science and have a subscription to Scientific American. I am a Software Engineer by profession, so am into writing programs.

But, I am also into creating video's, collecting and restoring antiques, and finally, I have a small winery in my basement.

I just wish there were more hours in the day!

Well said.
I'm an artist, a writer, and a diagnosed crazy bitch. I'm into gaming, creativity, music, geeking, and finding out who the hell I'm supposed to be in this life. I love to sing but I have a horrible voice. I like to read and I'm curious about a lot of things that are considered out of the norm. Religion, culture, and human differences in general fascinate me. I have a lizard, a bearded dragon named Emme. I develop film for a living, so I inadvertently get to see everyone's clean and dirty laundry (you have NO IDEA what I see in a night...). It's a good thing that I'm not easily offended because, damn, some of the people in this world are twisted fucks!

Clean and dirty laundry? Do you mean pictures?

Yes, I mean pictures. You would be surprised at what people take pictures of. I honestly don't think that some of these people know that their film is developed by real, living and breathing human beings. So in one night of work, we see all sorts of weird stuff. The only things we can't allow to pass through (with very good reason) is any pornographic material containing children or animals. We get to call the FBI on those assholes. Thankfully, though, we don't see a lot of that stuff. I've only seen it once and I hope I never see it again.

Yeah... my office is inside a photo lab, so I get to see some neat stuff, some sick fucks, some funny shit... all the weirdness, boringness, and beauty of humanity.

That would be an interesting job yet disgusting....

*nods* It's a good job, though. I like it, and the whole process that a piece of film goes through to become a picture is amazing. It's a whole lot better than working retail (been there, done that, ripped up the t-shirt). I guess that would be an anti-other-interest. Working retail sucks!

What's retail?
