Just wanted to stop in and say...

...they're all out to get you Armani.

Every single one of them.

Ha ha ha

Armani the perfect answer to that would've been

That was the best post you've ever done Turdy.

I know, believe or not I saw that after I made the 'Ha ha ha' post but didn't wanna edit it into that.. It was too late

That happens to me a lot.

Think I'll skip the detail since the point seems to not be able to get across & just focus on what it all could mean, I guess..

The only reason the point hasn't been able to get across, was because you weren't good enough to get it across.

oh.

There you go, not even being able to put emotion across the internet...

Sure.

You're a good guy Pluto. I just like to give you shit
I apologize.

I've gotta put this one here

I noticed this during class, but didn't think too much of it at the time. We had to do this project, basically observe some nature and take photos. There's this particular woodpecker we have here called the 'acorn woodpecker'. The three photos I used (which I can post for proof, I guess) for the acorn woodpecker collection displayed three specific poses.. It was due on Monday. In class Thursday, during lecture, the teacher puts up a slide in the beginning of class of acorn woodpeckers which was kind of strange since we were studying environments at the time - such as "savannahs' & 'vernal pools', although he did explain the importance of the acorn woodpecker to it's specific environment. However, it should be noted that last week he put up slides of some sort of deer thing.
What caught my attention at first was that the photos he had on his slide were similar to the ones I took for the project. The birds were in the same poses, damn near. Just imagine the photos I took, but from a different angle & they should look somewhat similar. I noticed and thought 'huh'. During his time talking of woodpeckers, he said a few things I wrote in my project, the only one I can remember is 'they're cool to watch'. I'm just assuming he saw some of my project and liked it, and decided to show the class the woodpeckers, I guess. He also told anecdotes of them being a pain to deal with.. They used to store acorns all around his old house.
I showed him a section in this book about shamanism (since he referenced them on more than one occasion, thought he might find it interesting), and he said something that made me think, but I wouldn't wanna speak too soon on it..
Since this is a biology class, the part of the book I showed him was about these biologists that took ayahuasca and the 'plant spirit' answered their questions pertaining to biology.. One wanted to know more about photosynthesis so when he took the ayahuasca, he transformed into the plant tissue and actually witnessed first hand how it worked.. The other was turned into DNA and figured out the solution to her 'junk dna' inquiry. You'll just have to take their word for it, but yeah.

I would like to see your pictures of the Acorn Woodpecker, if you don't mind.

           

Those are some nice pictures buddy, what kind of camera did you use?

This Sony cam

Damn, the photos look slightly different but the concepts were the same..

A few friends & I formed this 'local' mini music group, mainly for fun I suppose, that we call 'Wild Life'. Turns out, one of our 'members' knows some dude in San Fran who is also part of a SF based group also called 'Wild Life'! They also preach about the same stuff we do, apparently. "Display dominance" & other animal kingdom related metaphors. Reminds me of Radio Free Albemuth, if this is true.. Haven't met the SF based collective yet, but we plan on it...

Gonna make this one quick and I'm sure there's a lot of shit that's going to end up being left out but really, does it matter?

1. Suggested to a friend that there's probably some odd way of 'predicting' the future and we discussed that (important, for me at least, to keep in mind for the time being)

2. Terence McKenna said, & this is relevant because I shared a couple of these ideas before I actually heard Terence speak on them (not 'predicting the future' ^^ but of course someone had to have experienced this type of stuff before & put it into language), that normally there are 'synchronicities' in life (that you probably miss) but if you go out into life stoned you will just be bombarded with them, maybe even to the point of borderline schizophrenia, in which damn near everything will be given some type of meaning - "real" or not. I like to agree with that due to personal experience.

III. I like taking pictures of people that capture my interest, and the addition of a camera on the iTouch makes this an easier hobby. I have tons o pics of random people.
Like last week on the lightrail there was this girl that I took a picture of, it looked like she knew I was 'surreptitiously' snapping photos. I'll skip detail, but eventually I wanted to get a better pic, a close up rather than a zoom in. Before I could, we reached her stop and she got off much to my disappointment! At this point, we were on opposite sides of the lightrail though & I guess I was waiting for people to move - providing a "better opportunity". "Bad" idea. I cursed at myself for not taking the chance & waiting, only to have her get off and miss the chance completely (although I still do have a decent picture of her). So, I decided to walk over to where she was sitting to see if I could have done that before she got off and have taken a good pic - and it turns out yes, there was a good clean spot I could have stood that was practically right in front of her. I decided to just stay there for the rest of the ride home.
Over to my right, however, I noticed something. Some other dude with a mobile taking pictures of lightrail passengers! I had to examine him for a sec to make sure he was indeed taking a photo and that I wasn't being paranoid. I had headphones on so I couldn't really hear anything, but this couple tapped the person that was getting his picture taken and, via reading lips & 'intuition', I'm almost positive they told him someone was taking a picture of him. The couple was behind 'dude taking photo' so they could easily see his screen and what he was doing; I was even watching the female counterpart of the couple watch the mobile photographer's screen. Basically: Some other dude was taking pictures of people and he was noticed, & the guy that presumably got his photo taken apparently didn't mind. They were all smiling, although the mobile photographer didn't appear pleased that some random couple notified his subject of the photos (just basing this off of the look on his face). I got off.
I thought this was cool because if I didn't decide to move and "see if I could have indeed gotten a better photo" I wouldn't have noticed this.

This is true, I've noticed it as well. For the longest time it seemed like I'd only get texts when I was listening to music, and the text tone would always sync up with the song in some way (it would hit on a kick, snare, cymbal, end of a bar, whatever). I also had a phase where I obsessively counted everything by twos, and I started to notice how often the number two is presented in society. There were many others that I'm not currently remembering because I'm not stoned, but I know what you're talking about so you don't need to feel like you're crazy or alone in that observation.

i just raised this thread rating by 2 stars

Feels like something weird is happening (first thought that a few days ago).

& haha, I hadn't even realized the Pluto account had Roy in the signature. So, my current sig is not a reference to Pluto's sig or anything, if anyone was wondering or something.

Bump
