Epsom Derby

Posted on Jun 3rd, 2006 by flex22 : Mystic flex22

Not entirely sure what this has got to do with changing the world, but if I get pulled up on it by the powers that be, I'm sure I'll come up with some good excuse LOL!

My tip for the Epsom Derby is: Papal Bull 

The race is off in ten minutes, so sorry that this tip is late, hehe.

Cheers!

You need fuel to fly!

Posted on Jun 14th, 2006 by flex22 : Mystic flex22

I came up with an anology the other day.I see myself in a jet flying through the air.It's a hell of a joyride, superb, I'm absolutely buzzin with the thrill of it Very Happy

Then along comes a refuelling plane, which flies in front of me and dangles the refuelling pipe in front of my jet, connects it, and then supplies me with fuel (see pic):  

The image “http://media.nasaexplores.com/lessons/03-047/images/refuel.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.


Now why this analogy? Well because it's how I put contrast into perspective, especially big contrast.If we can see that contrast is just like the refuelling plane coming along to make sure we're able to still fly, then why would one ever argue with it or try to make it go away? You wouldn't would you.And so for me this is the perfect analogy Very Happy

If we said "No no, contrast, go away I don't want you or need you"

That is exactly like radioing the refuelling plane from the cockpit of your jet: "No no, I don't need any more fuel.I'm fine, honestly, I have plenty (fuel gauage actually reads near zero!)"

The refuelling plane stays there in front of you because it knows that you need refuelling, and it simply cannot understand why you won't accept the fuel and move on.And either way the refuelling plane (contrast) will just do it's job anyway, regardless of your actions.

So you can either not connect and not accept the new contrast for what it is (just fuel to keep you in the air) and therefore eventually start falling to earth...

Or you can say "Thankyou very much for the contrast (fuel).I accept it immediately and then blast off in my jet for new adventures.

Simple isn't it.

You know what is really so ace about this too.It is that in our lives the fuel comes along automatically.We don't have to worry about connecting up the refuelling pipe and making sure it doesn't miss, or even go looking for a refuelling plane.Contrast is always there, it always comes along just at the right time in just the right quantities, always feeding us the fuel we need to live.

It is a perfect setup.

Cheers!

What are we waiting for?

Posted on Jun 18th, 2006 by flex22 : Mystic flex22

I just watched this film: What are we waiting for?

It's amazing that  "Two thirds of all energy generated in the UK's nuclear, coal and gas fuelled power stations is lost as waste heat"

I'm going to write to my MP John Pugh (Member of Parliament) and state that I would like us to make use of all of the energy we produce.It feels good to take action this way, even if it is just a letter sent from my computer.

As it happens my MP is actually the head of philosophy at a local *public* school, so I'm hoping he'll be more conscious than most.

Cheers!

In harmony zaadz will grow!

"I deliver to you three a realm that is strong if you prove virtuous, but weak if you do ill; for harmony makes small states great, while discord undermines the greatest empires"

Let the seeds grow in harmony.

flex makes a stand for all true zaadzsters!

Posted on Jun 25th, 2006 by flex22 : Mystic flex22

I'm probably the most shyest people you could meet in a gathering.And I'm virtually always composed, in thought, placid.But every now and then something happens that just sets me off.People who have known me on the net for some time will know of these occasions.One friend said to me: "oh no not one of flex's rants"

One of my famous one's was on certtutor.net where I rightly! took all of those technological genius's to task when while the Katrina disaster was happening, all they could talk about was the price of oil.I stepped in to inform them that possibly thousands of people may have died, and many more were suffering.And trust me I didn't tell them lightly.That's just the way I am.I have a passion for humanity, or call it naivety if you will.I simply cannot control my emotions at times like these, so take it or leave it. You can view the certtutor rant here: Hurricane Katrina

The reason why I post this now is because something just happened that set me off again.There is a convo here in the thinktank: Can't delete manic user 

Now the only reason i know about this convo is because I subscribe to updates to the thinktank.Ya know for new ideas, suggestions.The kind of thing I thought it was for *doh me*

Then ~C posts this in his blog: Reminder of terms of use 

Now is it just me that feels the same way? Maybe it will be.Afterall I've often felt like an alien on a strange planet.Zaadz people are the closest I've come to of my own species.But is it only me who feels quite frankly (and this is very mild!) *disappointed* that the people who are supposed to be overseeing this place are reminding us yet are completely forgetting their own role of helping to keep this place sacred.

There's gotta be a good quote about this somewhere.Something about people thinking they're above reproach or something.

Shit man some things just set me off, LOL!

Thanks for nothing!

Posted on Jun 26th, 2006 by flex22 : Mystic flex22

This is just a note to whom it may concern (gives a shit) that I am no longer subscribed to the zaadz thinktank.I'll check the pod now and then, but personally I prefer to receive notifications so I can keep up with all the latest ideas immediately (yeah a zaadzster committed to keeping abreast with ideas that will change the world.Sad like that.I should get out more eh? I apologise in advance)

So seeing as though my email inbox is filled with notifications from the zaadz thinktank, you may wonder why I would unsubscribe.The reason is that the pod is being spammed by people who are not in line with our vision, and who's comments are basically pointless.This has continued for days and has not been dealt with.Therefore I will not tolerate even receiving the notifications of this drivel any longer.Unfortunately that also means I may miss reading someones good idea.That's a shame, but this is out of my control.And the people who could end the spamming nonsense RIGHT NOW! seem to think we're going to live for ten million years the way they're taking forever to sort it!

"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already. . . . What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." ~ Adolf Hitler

Do I really have to wait until these spamming tossers die of old age.Seeing as though it may be a little inappropriate to shoot or gas them, perhaps you could just calmly blast them into the datasphere and we can all say "good riddance." 

Anyway don't reply to this blog.Don't email me.I'm beyond angry with this now, way beyond.This is just a statement.Make of it what you will.

 "This loving person is a person who abhors waste— waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever." ~ Leo Buscaglia
