Sounds nice. Could feel a bit like cheating, though, unless everybody does it. I probably sleep only 5 hours a day on average, maybe less, and I only work 30 hours per month on a normal job (not fun, but also not terrible). But unless I'm around friends or on parties, I feel like I'm working all the time. Even when I'm doing relaxing-activites, like writing this text, it feels to me a bit like work, because it's more like a necessary break from "work" than a true leisure activity. So, I guess I do actually have a lot of time, but at the same time there's so much I want to do that I have to prioritize all the time, which makes me feel more like I have very little time. A proper adrenaline rush is really great, btw. I think I only really experienced it once, when I was very young (around 12 or 13) and had to prevent an accident with my bike. Time slowed down to about a 1/10 of its normal speed and I was able to pull off a perfect braking (from going really fast to stopping in a few meters).

1982 as well. I lived in a very rural area for about the first 10 years of my life, 20 kilometers outside of Vienna, then we moved to the border of Vienna and now I live inside the city. Even though I suspect I'd miss Vienna itself even more if I moved out, I definitely miss the tranquility and nature I had around me back then. Most of all, I guess, I miss the naivity regarding everything that wasn't immediatly around me right there and right then. Being absolutely present in most every moment, experiencing it to the fullest. -Exploration of the area/nature around our house. -Also going to friends, just to play video games, because my brother and I weren't allowed to play more than one hour a day at home. -Everything (including video games) being so new and exciting. -Staying with grand parents. -Being the super-stealthy robber, when playing cops and robbers during lunch breaks in the garden at school. -Routinely getting up one hour earlier than necessary, in order to walk to school (instead of being taken there by car) and play table tennis in the morning for hardly half an hour, before lessons started. -Pretending the floor is lava. -The grass being always greener on the other side (as nonsensical as this may sound). -...

Shpongle - Are You Shpongled?

a) there is an objective reality there is not a.1) almost all people perceive objective reality accurately enough almost all the time a.2) we all are very far away from objective reality and the reason we appear to be so close to it is, that we all perceive it wrong in a very similar way (we share a common false view of the world) a.3) something between a.1 and a.2 b.1) almost all people happen to construct their subjective reality in a very similar way b.2) only the I exists, all of (outside) reality is only my invention (= solipsism) b.3) other people exist independently of me, but there is hardly any similarity between my subjective reality and theirs. communication fails to show relevant discrepancies between different people's realities for whatever reasons b.1 and b.3 are probably kind of hard to imagine, but for me this doesn't mean they shouldn't be considered possible. Relativity theory and quantum mechanics are also hard to image and quite illogical to the average human mind, already. I don't know how it could be possible for anyone to prove that any one of these possibilties would be true or false. Any ideas, anyone?

Applepie? I don't agree with the statement, though.

Eh... if I took a walk in the mountains and a beautiful girl, I just met, wanted to have sex with me I wouldn't say "you're not normal, go away". Since I practically never go the mountains this is about as likely as a random girl ringing on my door, asking me to have sex with her (less-than-once-in-a-lifetime-likely), of course. Actually I just want to say that I think it's possible for two strangers to have sex the very first time they meet and for it to be a pleasant experience for both. And why should anyone call that abnormal? So he went about it in what seemed to be a very natural way for him? This makes it less creepy, of course. (no sarcasm intended here)

Sounds unpleasant to me. I guess it wasn't too unpleasant for you, but if I picture a situation where I had a reason to consider the possibilty that someone would turn violent and I decide to show no fear and get away, then it looks like an unpleasant situation in my mind.

Sounds like a creepy a guy and an unpleasant experience to me. Nobody was harmed, so I think you did exactly the right thing. I don't know why some people are so unpleasant, maybe they have too little empathy or they're just really desperate, either way I don't think they decided to be unpleasant for the heck of it.

It (The Prayer) is very well known in Austria, too. Not a bad track per se, but kind of uninteresting musically, imho. I think it's actually extremely generic/simplistic by itself, but the fact that people tend to react so positively to it on a dance floor, is a pretty clear sign that it has some kind of "hymn-status", I guess.

Beautiful pictures. If death exists in the sense most people use the word, then it's just the other side of the coin, it shares with life. But maybe there's only change anyway.

IFO and Rock Bitch Mafia.

I just found this gif while listening to the track: quite hilarious :D

I suppose you mean it was available as some kind of illegal download. I think there are still a lot of people who don't like to download stuff illegally (how many people are there in the world who have to and can buy something like Mind Rewind (1), but could not simply download it instead? Hardly any I'd think) for whatever reasons and I think especially those people who would like to do a fair trade (=buy whatever at a reasonable price, instead of just copying without giving anything back) should be able to do so.

Color Dox - Maximum Psy Pleiadians - Alcyone (especially the part at 3:54) Hallucinogen - Spiritual Antiseptic MidiMiliz - Restore My Soul Infected Mushroom - Nothing Comes Easy Juno Reactor - Samurai ...but how could these not be some of my favourite tracks, when they give me eargasms? When someone would ask me for the best tracks I know, I probably wouldn't think of many of these, though, maybe that's what you meant?

I had a dream once, over ten years ago. I think it was one of those, where I was at a random arcade hall (had a few of those in my life) and I decided to play a racing game, the kind where you sit in a simplified physical cockpit of a car, in front of a screen. I started playing this game and it was as if I was actually inside the game and the (non-circular) track had different sections, in themes of different colours and a soundtrack each, _perfectly_ fitting the colour/section. There probably were about 5 to 7 of such sections. It was very impressive. Years later I heard Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene for the first time, at a friends place and had to think about this dream again. ...When I was about 17 years old I actually managed to teach myself lucid dreaming (worked a handful of times), but I've been very out of touch with my dreams lately. I've been hardly remembering any of my dreams after waking up for at least the last year, if not longer.

I still don't understand how this could happen. If I'm correct only about 300 copies were sold normally, the other ~300 stayed with those who made the whole thing happen. Who thought this was a good idea? Super-limited release of such a high quality compilation, that (IMO) everyone should be able to get a hold of. After probably over one year I found the opportunity to do a complicated three-party-trade to "only" have to invest ~60€ instead of the ~100€ that people asked on discogs. Then there is a reprint announced for that super-limited release, which probably pisses a lot of those people, who payed very much to get it, off. Not that I'm against a reprint, personally I'm all for it. Since I buy CDs to add them to my collection, without the intention to sell them at some point, I won't really lose anything if the CD loses resale value because of a reprint. I just think it was an unfortunate decision to limit the first release to 604 (effectively ~300 at normal price) CDs and give the impression that this was the only chance to get it, let prices skyrocket this badly and at the same time have so many people completely miss out on it... Whatever, I'm not trying to tell people how they should have done things, because lamenting about the past is pointless, I just want say how I would like to see it done in the future (if anyone cares)...

Not exactly. I wasn't serious, but in a way it actually is... What did you mean with "Huh?"?
