1. She is so cute!!!!! Really Cute!!!!!
I know exactly how she feels (although 'the big one' is a metaphor.)


Years ago, I had those same feelings. For heavens sake, I bought a soft drink for a sad and tired cripple and they said I had to be mean to the guy or they would hurt me. Ridiculous I tell you, what kind of system is that?

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity.

You work, you care, you try, and sometimes do worse sometimes better. But some just seem not to care.

So you don't work in the bad system they want to define as 'the way it is', you change that entire system!

As long as dropping the big one is not entering the world of not caring yourself, where you would become what you thought was wrong.

So deep that song is...

2. She even has the salute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edited on Fri Jul-31-09 03:36 PM by RandomThoughts
The fictional race of Klingons salute by striking the clenched fist against the chest, then extending the arm. In addition, a roman-based salute is used by the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe - a clenched fist is struck against the chest, then that arm and hand is held out straight.The arm is held parallel to the ground, rather than raised as with a roman salute. The Nietzschean race of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda performs a similar salute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salute

I remember that salute, although it is nihilism, has many flaws.

I found transition from nihilism to opening the heart,

as V said,

That's it! See, at first I thought it was hate, too. Hate was all I knew, it built my world, it imprisoned me, taught me how to eat, how to drink, how to breathe. I thought I'd die with all my hate in my veins. But then something happened. It happened to me... just as it happened to you.

Something happened, by opening up ones heart without any fear, it is something different. It is peaceful and joyful, it does not want nihilism it is compassion and justice. It is not violent or unfeeling, it is the release from imprisonment of fear or hate.

Same thing was in "Once More With Feeling" the Buffy musical, started with nihilism, but became opening of the heart.
