Random Thoughts Thread

[Retro-Man]

After watching through the Fast and Furious movies, I realized something:

How the hell does the '70 Charger keep coming back. (Spoiler of FaF movies) At the end of the 1st, it's hit by a truck. Then, it's back in the 4th, where it is then smashed into a wall and blown up. 5 minutes later it's back, totally unharmed, to break Dom off the prison bus. It is then smooshed under that bus, and 20 minutes later, it's back again. It is then T-boned by a 5-ton Conquest truck. How will it be back in the 6th movie? By magic. Again.

LOL

The 'Cube thing was kind of random. Noise and I collaborated on it with Ack's blessing awhile back but never got around to pulling the trigger. The other guys asked Racket if they could write it and Racket ended up merging their stuff with the bit Noise and I put together. So off and on, that article was written over the course of about half a year.

So nothing personal, lisalover. It just kinda happened.

Yeah, originally I was given a choice between that and the Xbox 101. But when these guys mentioned they were interested in a GC 101 article, I opted for the Xbox instead. We now have both, along with a couple of others for more obscure systems I've written recently.

Pizza, like wine and your chance of dying of chicken pox, seems to only get better with age.

My dreams are strange.

Like the night before when I dreamt that I crashed my car by going reverse down a really steep hill, and my emergency brakes wouldn't work. Interestingly though I didn't wake up when I hit the bottom of the hill I just smashed some dudes camera and he wasn't even that upset about it.

And then I dreamt that my new roommates in college were a gay couple... Not that there's anything wrong with that. (the reason I dreamt that was probably because last year in college I was mistaken for being gay by another gay person...who kind of looks my new roommate)

can't remember anything I dreamt last night.

Has anyone ever tried lucid dreaming before? All my dopey hippy friends always whine about how they want to lucid dream and be able to fly.

I never have flying or lucid dreams. They're just a disjointed haze of bad situations.

I suffer from sleep paralysis sometimes, guess that's pretty close to lucid dreaming. It's not very enjoyable though.

Damn that sounds rough.

I'd consider trying out lucid dreaming but my major insomnia will make sure that never happens, hah. Oh well, sounds silly and not that interesting anyways.

I've been halfheartedly trying to have lucid dreams for a couple years now. I've come close, but never remembered a real one.

I use to have lucid dreams when I was young, and pretty often. Haven't had one in a while.

For some strange reason I've nearly always known I was dreaming when I've had a dream. I can walk around usually. Often weird stuff happens and I just sort of back the dream up to before the weird thing happened and try again.

Some terrible advice: You want to have some lucid dreams, try abusing alcohol or drugs for a few months, then quit cold turkey.
