I thought that I could do so many things this year. But, time ran past through me. Its December now. And I am still standing here empty handed.
I wonder what will next year bring with itself. Will I be the same? Will this world be the same?
But, whatever it is. I'm ready to move on now.

[показать]I found an intriguing article about LSD.. Make sure you read it.
Every human being lives inside the creations and interpretations of his mind, for we are only our thoughts. The way we conceive the world is our reality; it is unique to each individual because his perception of his environment and personal experiences are vastly different from everyone else's - as the old saying goes: "No two minds are alike."
I am no metaphysicist or psychologist, but I have pondered about what is actually reality and the power of our conscience, especially compared to the estimated five to 30 million species that exist on our planet. We seem to be the only species that seeks an altered state of mind, using and experimenting with all sorts of drugs, alcohol being the most common of them. Psychedelics are the type I'm most concerned about, for they warp your perception of reality the most, and yet are claimed to be less toxic than an aspirin.
Just last month the meritorious "Father of LSD," Albert Hofmann, passed away at the age of 102, but he did not leave mankind empty-handed. Albert Hofmann was "the mystical Swiss chemist who gave the world LSD, the most powerful psychotropic substance known," which he first synthesized in 1938, according to The New York Times.
LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, is more commonly known as acid, one, tabs, blotter, does or trips. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, hallucinogens like LSD are so widely revered because of their surreal and fantasy-like properties which distort one's perception of reality by "disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin." More simply, an acid trip can have a variety of effects on different people, anywhere from feeling, hearing and seeing things that are particular to the user, and a trip typically lasts from eight to 12 hours or even longer depending on the dose taken.
Unlike alcohol and other drugs, each acid trip is different. In my opinion, the most amazing attribute of acid is that the drug's effects occur at extremely low doses which are "most commonly [taken] on blotter or in liquid form" according to Erowid, an organization that strives to provide, "non-judgmental information about psychoactive plants and chemicals and related issues."
You must be wondering how Hofmann miraculously stumbled across this "smart" drug, which contributed to the 1960s hippie counterculture. Well, while working in the Sandoz Research Laboratory in Basel, Switzerland he accidentally ingested some while "isolating and synthesizing the unstable alkaloids of the ergot fungus," according to The Economist.
He initially felt lightheaded, but soon he was absorbed into the psychedelic world of acid, "dissolving into a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes, spirals and light."
Just imagine how it would feel to unintentionally take such a powerful drug - one minute you're sitting on your couch reading a book and the next the world explodes in your mind and what was once real is now unreachable to you.
After that epiphany, Hofmann took the drug over 100 times in the course of his life, but made it clear to the world that albeit his experiences were great, the drug has a more supreme purpose and value. Using acid, Hofmann "saw humanity's oneness with nature" and truly believed, as many people come to believe following such life-changing experiences, that mankind can benefit from seeing the world through a completely new lens.
The world is far from perfect, and maybe the drug does really bring people closer to nature and allows them to concentrate on mankind's "ultimately self-destructive degradation of the natural world" according to The New York Times.

Настроение сейчас - better than ever
I actually finished school a few days ago. I guess I'm still not used to it. Cause I wake up in the middle of the night with the idea that I gotta finish something. But, then I realise... its all over!
Настроение сейчас - sing for the moment
I read this on net in an forum.. haha..
I recall my first time with a condom, I was 16 or so. I went in to buy
a packet of condoms at the pharmacy. There was this beautiful woman
assistant behind the counter, and she could see that I was new at it.
She handed me the package and asked if I knew how to wear one.
I honestly answered, "No, this is my first time."
So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her
thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I
apparently still looked confused. So she looked all around the store
to see if it was empty. It was empty.
"Just a minute," she said, and walked to the door, and locked it.
Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse
and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside. "Do these
excite you?" she asked. Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do
was nod my head. She then said it was time to slip the condom on.
As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties
and lay down on a desk. "Well, come on", she said, "We don't have much time."
So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could
no longer hold back and KAPOW, I was done within a few minutes.
She looked at me with a bit of a frown. "Did you put that condom on?"
she asked. I said, "I sure did," and held up my thumb to show her.
She fainted.
This an abstract from a book by Paulo Coelho that i'd like to share:
I reckon that it takes about three minutes to read each page in this book. Well, according to statistics, in that same space of time, 300 people will die,and another 620 will be born.
I might take half an hour to write each page: im sitting at my computer, concentrating on what im doing, with books all around me, ideas in my head, cars driving past outside. Everything seems perfectly normal, and yet, during those thirty minutes, 3000 people have died, and 6200 have just seen the light of the world for first time.
Where are those thousands of families who have just begun to mourn the loss of someone, or to smile at the arrival of a son, daughter, nephew, niece, brother, or sister?
I stop and reflect a little. Perhaps many of those people were reaching the end of a long painful illness, and some people are relieved when the Angel comes for them. Then again, hundreds of those children who have just been born will be abandoned the next moment and will go on to form the part of the death statistics before I even finished writing this page.
How strange. A simple statistic, which I happened to read, and suddenly Im aware of those deaths and entrances, those smile and tears. How many of them are leaving this life while alone in their rooms, with no one realising whats happening? How many will be born in secret and then abandoned outside a childrens home or a convent?
I think to myself that I was once part of the birth statistics and will, one day, be included amongst the numbers of dead. It is good to be aware that I will die. Ever since I walked the road to Santiago, I have understood that, although life goes on and we are all eternal, this existence will one day end.
People do not think much about death. They spend their lives worring about absurdities; they put things off, and fail to notice important moments. They dont take risks, because they think its dangerous. They complain a lot, but are afraid to take action. They want everything to change, but they themselves refuse to change.
If they thought a little more about death, they would never forget to make that much-postponed phone call. They would be a little crazier. They would not be afraid of this incarnation coming to an end, because you cannot fear something that is going to happen anyway.
The Indians say: 'Today is as good a day as any to leave this world.' And a wise man once said : 'Death is always sitting by your side so that, when you need to do something important, it will give you the strength and the courage that you need.'
I hope that you, have got this far. It would be foolish to be frightened by death, because all of us, sooner or later, are going to die. And only those who accept this fact are prepared for life.

Настроение сейчас - boredFoo Fighters got an grammy for their song "The pretender ".. those guyz are really great.They nearly disbanded when their vocalist died. But their drummer took his place. Even in Fall Out Boy the vocalist is an drummer. Never know how things may turn out..
Im so bored of preparing for ma finals.. I know that there is like only two months left but I can't get myself together. Seriously.. I dont get it... What am I supposed to do with this school diploma ? Its not even valid in Russia. Nor it will allow me to get scholarship..
Weird thing.. just when I have ma exams going on I urge to write.
SO this is what I wrote recently..
Nectar of life
Living in the flow of ugly commotion
Without a reason, all in vain
Indulged in meaningless devotion
Conquered from within, all in sake of a name
Yeah, we call ourselves innocent
We say we need no cure
Like a hypnotized child by a silver globe
Covered by a shell of lies
But still feeling insecure
Your addiction is the result of your one try
Your anger is not the end of the major lie
There’s no escaping, no place to hide
Trying to change reality but running out of time
How ironic and immature
You tripped and fell at the end of your duel
Настроение сейчас - Sleepy
Here is a book review that I found real interesting. Don't know how many r into this paranormal and stuff like that..
There is nothing new to the spiritual science of preparation, illumination and initiation into the mysteries contained within this book. For those who are actively engaged in studying the evidence, it is becoming more and more certain that the Earth was once host to an ancient, advanced civilization that had complete understanding of the physics and the timing behind the event that we are now experiencing in the Earth and Solar System.
This civilization took great pains to preserve their legacy so that we could re-discover these everlasting truths.
The most obvious footprints that have been left behind by this lost, ancient civilization are the many surviving structures around the world that are composed of multi-ton blocks of stone or “megaliths,” far too large and intricate in construction to be built by any known methods now available to humanity.
In our 2000 book The Shift of the Ages, we go into detail about such monuments, including their distinct energetic functions and their worldwide interconnected nature, provable by straightforward mathematical analysis.
Off the coast of the Japanese island of Yonaguni, a pyramid-like, obviously artificial megalithic structure has been found submerged under the sea in an area that could not have been above water for at least 12,000 years.
And in 2001, Paulina Zelinsky and Paul Weinzweig of Advanced Digital Communications announced that they had discovered vast submerged city of pyramids, buildings, roads and other structures off the western tip of Cuba, about a half-mile under the sea, as seen from side-scan sonar readings. This story actually broke into the Western mainstream media, which shows how surprisingly close they are to admitting that such a civilization did indeed exist.
Though there has been ongoing interest in the search for ancient undersea ruins, Zelinsky’s team was the first to elicit cooperation with the Communist regime of Cuba so that such advanced measurements could be taken in their national waters.
The research of Linda Moulton Howe and others has revealed that National Geographic has already signed a contract to have exclusive rights to release this new material to humanity, and that a comprehensive multimedia disclosure is being planned.
More recent updates in November 2001 revealed that interconnecting circles of rock similar to Stonehenge have now been photographed at the site by a robotic undersea probe, along with a series of stone inscriptions including crosses, sketches of Mesoamerican-style pyramids, and an unusual written language. The team hopes to photograph and survey the area much more thoroughly as time proceeds.
The original source of information for the Western world regarding this lost ancient civilization came from the works of Greek philosopher Plato, who first referred to it in the Timaeus as the island continent “Atlantis.”
It is widely held that the technological sophistication of Atlantis actually superceded our own, including anti-gravity capability that was used both for devices capable of interstellar travel as well as the levitation of tremendous blocks to build the pyramids and sacred structures seen worldwide.
Also available to the Atlanteans was a form of technology where extremely high amounts of energy to power all sorts of different devices could be drawn from the very essence of empty space itself – a non-physical energy source that the Greeks referred to as “aether,” which was their word for “shine.” The Greek word “pyramid” actually comes from the word roots “Pyre” and “Amid,” meaning “fire in the middle.”
This suggests that a harnessing of energy is occurring within such structures. In addition to technology, the Atlanteans were much more aware of the spiritual, intuitive and symbolic side of life, something that modern civilization has become much more divorced from.
Many different sources indicate that Plato had received the information regarding Atlantis secretly from the existing priesthoods of Egypt, and that he created a great controversy amongst their ranks by actually publicizing it. This one small data point, published in the philosophy texts of the day, could be seen as the first clue in unraveling a very substantial mystery.
According to such sources, the Egyptian priesthood was one of several splinter groups entrusted with preserving what they referred to as

Choose the mountain you want to climb
Don't be influenced by what other people say: 'that one is preetier' or 'that one looks easier'. You are going to put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into achieving your objective, and your are the only person responsible for your choice, so be quite sure about what ur doing.
Find out how to reach the mountain
Often you can see the mountain in the distance- beutiful, interesting, full of challenges. However, when you try to reach it, what happens? It's surrounded by roads; forests lie between you and your objective; and what seems clear on the map is far more complicated in reality. So you must try all the paths and tracks until, one day, you find yourself before the peak you intend to climb.
Learn from someone who has been there before
However unique you may think you are, there is always someone who has had the same dream before, and who has left signs behind that will make the climb less arduous: the best place to attach a rope., trodden paths, branches broken off to make easier to pass. It is your climb and it is your responsibility too, but never forget that other's people's experiences are always helpful.
Dangers, seen from close to, are controllable
When you start to climb the mountain of your dreams, pay attention to what is around you. There are, ofcourse, precipices. There are almost imperceptible cracks. There are stones polished so smooth by rain and wind that they have become slippery as ice. But if you know were you are putting your foot, you will see any traps and you will be able to avoid them.
The landscape changes, so make the most of it
You must, naturally, always keep in mind you objective - reaching the top. However, as you climb, the view changes, and there is nothing wrong with stopping now and then to enjoy the vista. With each metre you climb, you can see a little further, so take time to discover things you have never noticed before.
Respect your body
You will manage to climb a mountain if you give your body the care it deserves. You have all the time that life gives you, so do not demand too much from your body. If walk to quickly you will grow tiered and give up halfway. If you walk too slowly nigth migth fall, and you will get lost. Enjoy the landscape and drink the cool spring water, but keep on walking.
Respect your soul
Don't keep repeating "I am goin to do it'. Your soul knows this already. What it needs to do is to use this long walk in order to grow, to reach out far as the horizon, to touch the sky. Obsession will not help you in search of you goal, and will end up spoiling the pleaure to climb. On the other hand, don't keep repeating 'It's harder than I thought' because that will sap your inner strength.
Be prepared to go the extra mile
The distance to the top of the mountain is always greater than you think. there is bound to come a moment when what seemed to be close is still far away. But since your prepared to go still further, this should not be a problem.
be joyful when you reach the top
Cry, clap your hands, shout out loud that you made it; let the wind (because it is always windy up there) purify your mind, cool your hot, weary feet, open your eyes, blow the dust out of your heart. What was once a dream, a distant vision, is now a part of your life. You made it, and that is good.
Make a promise
Now that you have discovered the strength you did not even know that you had, tell yourself that you
