The VOID

:)

I think so too.


I went wakeboarding once behind a boat in my early 20s. I was a snowboarder most of my teens, so I found it easy and just went and went until I was so exhausted I couldn't hold on anymore.

Next day and for several days after..it felt like I got hit by a train. I was in decent shape but still.

Damn.


You need to be fit for sure. I watch people face plant out here..just after they finally manage to stand up..all the time.

The experts fly like the eagles, that watch them from the logs here.

Haha I know what you mean. Tho, never much of a snowboarder, Riding a wakeboard behind a boat was definitely a blast back in the day. That was some good summers!
It's been a few years, and pretty sure I'm still sore.

Sounds like you've got a nice scenic spot to watch the world fly by, as it so often does.

I grew up on skis. Snowboarding when I turn 13 was the 'must do' for me.

I bought my first board..169 metal core Sims board..WAY too big for me..and hit the mountains of Oregon.


Time taught me many lessons in that regard. No internet back then. Some VHS videos.

Great times.

K-pop stars speak out about pressures of perfection as they lift the lid on a cutthroat industry in the wake of several artists killing themselves

The culture of K-pop is one of South Korea's most lucrative soft power exports and has drawn a massive audience of young people internationally.

But the suicide deaths of two popular female stars less than two months apart has drawn attention to the industry's darker side and the intense pressures that artists face.


K-pop star Sulli, whose given name is Choi Jin-ri, took her own life in October. Her friend and fellow star, Koo Hara, killed herself a month later. Both stars had been victims of severe bullying on social media.

In an interview with CBS This Morning, K-pop artist Amber Liu said there was an industry expectation to be perfect in looks, performance and discipline.

Dood, Lucky!

All my cool friends grew up skiing in Utah.
I first skied at 14 , didn't snowboard 'til 17 or 18 and never was much good.

It's nice that you remember the exact board you had.
I have trouble remembering my birthday.

I remember because what it cost me to buy it...


I found the ad in the classified's of our newspaper. It was the first I had seen for under $300.

For my sz though..I needed a 142.


By the time I was enrolled full time at University(20s)..I had little time or $$ for snowboarding. Although I did a few times.

One time to Mt Baker in Washington. It rained all night and made the fresh powder like cement.

..heh.

We had Hot Toddy that night though..still good times.

I just reread that thread. Watched a documentary on John Nash jrz dizorganized schizophreniA.

Lol fat finger syndrome

Im almost inspired to write an addendum to asymptotes

I understand far more now..than I ever did then. Looking back only connects to what and how you were.I often thought of how I would receive myself in the future and looked out for it. It is like a mile post.


This thread, is in part about the memory hole..and coming to understand what That is.

Just how absolute it can be..and why.

Seems all the history and hints and artifacts along the way..echo the same sentiment.

Hot Toddies tend to ease a tense situation.

Hmm...^ I accidentally posted while logged out.

I've been banned for a while unless logged in.
Didn't I see a thread about a lockdown?

Her mom garnered the condo through some work thing and let us have it for the weekend.

Other than the cement snow..everything else was awesome.

First time I had a Hot Toddy..


People left a bunch whiskey here after New Years. Maybe I'll make one.

Hot Toddy

hot toddy, also known as hot whiskey in Ireland, is typically a mixed drink made of liquor and water with honey (or, in some recipes, sugar), herbs (such as tea) and spices, and served hot.

Hot toddy recipes vary and are traditionally drunk before retiring for the night, in wet or cold weather or to relieve the symptoms of the cold and flu. In How to Drink, Victoria Moore describes the drink as "the vitamin C for health, the honey to soothe, the alcohol to numb.

Yes...to see the future you need the context of the change of perception that will place you amidst it.

The required vocabulary and perspective.

It is the true paradox of time travel.

You may know the outcome but the words to explain it come with experience.

You become immobilized by the zeitgeist of contemporary views.

I liken it to silent pictures or trying to spontaneously invent sign language when you have 5 minutes to stop the world from ending.

Match game in ____(blank).

Talk about running in place.

If you look back at my posts I explain that my words will echo and become more frequent.

Essentially that's why I orphan my threads.

Always wanted to learn wakeboarding. Had the kneeboard and assorted stuff downpat, but sadly never got the chance after stuff happened. Perhaps in the future eh.

Did enjoy watching a few people going at it yesterday. Local weir was filled with people yesterday, despite the persistent thick haze of smoke from the fires. Tho I must say, they were extremely tame on the biscuits.


Even had an awesome close encounter with a wedge tail eagle. Don't really appreciate the size of turn until they're only a few feet above you slowly taking off.

We have a tons of birds here. Many big ones: Herons, Pelicans. Bald eagles. Egrets.

We also have vultures..which for as bad a rap they get, are very gentle and curious birds.


Like you mention..they will fly right over my deck..with me on it..noticeably pausing so I can get a good look at them. They want me to see them. Then they circle around.


The Bald eagles are far more timid and will never get close if I'm outside.

The sea gulls and sea bird of all kinds keep their distance..unless fed.

The vultures though..

Your words echo. For me.

I call it..playing poker with Time.

Nice, it's good ta have friends.

Crazy, how a little rain turns powder to rock at the cold temperature and then warms up and it slides right into the ocean.

lol, You always seem to have the link ready for any situation.

Few seagulls around hoping for some food.

Ravens tho...they were everywhere

I Googled it, to make sure I spelled it right.

They have mix you can scoop into cups and add whiskey and hot water.

I wouldn't mind finding a more authentic way to do it..

I'm not the jungle monster quite yet, bar Inland!

lol you only respond to what is familiar :)

I would think the alteration would merely be a method whereby the underlying motive is achieved.

If I'm wrong, then that explains perfectly why Seer has an aversion to you. To alter for the sake of alteration merely because one is able to is a motive of one who embodies chaos in a rather pure form.

Hello. Are you aether's daughter?

I have no aversion to Chris. I couldn't find a proper way to respond to his post, so I said nothing. Not due aversion but due to risk.
