About me: Complicated; Like a book if you don't go beyond the cover you won't know me. After all, life is too important to be taken seriously. I do believe that anytime before you pass through the gates of hell, you can change your luck.
I am interested in our personal evolution. Esoteric Taoism, Polyphasic Sleeping, Transhumanism. Exploring the Living Force.
At times, I can be too intense, anally retentive and self-important, but my friends and family are very good at putting me in my place. I have grown accustomed to living with the absurd.
Point to note: I have been accused of being a toxic personality. Take me or leave me. That's the way I am.
Religion: JEDI.. : “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
Political view: Neo- Anarchist/ TechnoProgressive
A few quotes we should live by:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialisation is for insects. — Robert A. Heinlein

I was on Everyman 3 (3 hours core nap) and unsure when I will experiment with Uberman/Davinci sleep again.
Starting to sleep longer now and may be due to the shorter daylight hours.
Will see what happens.
I prefer to refer to the 24hour clock as it does makes things easier.
Decided to take a leaf from others and describe each 24 hour period as a day and a Cycle.
24 hours = 1 Cycle.
Probably someone watching Battlestar Galactica...lol
November 2009:
Due to the weather changes I am finding it hard to only sleep three hours or it may be due to changes in my training.
I will now be on one muscle part a day and starting a running schedule.
Currently on 4 hour Core sleeps and 1 or 2 Naps a day.
Disadvantage: One extra hour of sleep.
Advantage: Only need one extra nap.
Will see if this is permanent or Seasonal. If I find myself sleeping longer, I will experiment with Uberman again. It may shock the system.

So more money is to be lent to Northern Rock. £12bn, but since it will be split into two banks, the good bank gets all the money, whilst the bad bank has to pay it back to the tax payer.
Did a Labour Minister get promised a Directorship for this scenario?
Season 2
Episode 2: Annoyed that they got the Invisible Woman killed and they did it off screen. I suppose being invisible is just too hard a character concept to write.
They have some different ideas, but I can see the comparisons to Torchwood and Primeval. For a bunch of super killers, Ashley and her cohorts looked stiff.
Could they not have come up with a better male character than the recycled Daniel Jackson clone?
( Read more... )Dollhouse Season 2 Episode 4
I did feel that the ending was a cop out, but it did let Dichen Lachman stay on in the show.
I am seeing that Whedon is avoiding the mistakes made with Firefly. Basically Chinese culture without any Chinese people or Asians to be seen.
Dichen is of Asian descent within the main cast and we keep seeing other Asians in the background including one agent and one police officer.
Now we just need to have him learn a few things about sexual slavery.
I am seeing some similarities to his character of Inara, the companion/ courtesan. At least, in her case she supposedly chose it of her own free will.
Sierra is different, she was forced into becoming a sex slave. THere should have been a scene in which Boyd and Topher convince her that she would be safer in the Dollhouse.
Are the Dolls being shown as people who did not have direction in life and are (at heart) submissive personalities?
Sunday
Knew I was going to crash so went to bed early. Time went back for the Autumn and so managed to get an extra hour for sleep. Crashed for six hours.
Eskrima practice. Should have checked to ensure tube is running. Engineering works again and had to detour.
Went with the guys for a run.
Three miles.
Then more Eskrima.
Still unsure how my Everyman pattern will be affected by the Seasonal changes. Winter time usually means more sleep for me. Will see what happens.

As I have discussed with a friend.
I hope some of the annoying ones get vented out of the airlock before they meet any alien race. They're liable to embarrass the rest of humanity.
Did they have to go for the Deus Ex Machina of the friendly alien to help them find the right sort of sand?

Team America = destroying the Eiffel Tower. Does Hollywood have any knowledge of Paris? How about destroying the Louvre instead?
I'm a fan of Ray Park, but his build was wrong for Snake Eyes.
They also turned Storm Shadow into a murderer.
