the world’s most extreme diet

I want to find out what it looks, feels, and tastes like to commit to the ultimate in dietary trade-offs: a lifetime lived on the brink of starvation, in exchange for the promise of a life span longer than any human has known.

This article totally creeped me out. Imagine how totally obsessed, and ultimately uninteresting, one would have to become in order to maintain this sort of lifestyle.

cover-clip-hot-sex.jpg From this morning’s Grauniad. . .

“If sex – or rather, the lack of sex – in long-term relationships isn’t a hot topic, it’s because no one dares talk about it. Or admit to it. Until now …”

It’s rather a long article and I think some of it is kinda crap, but there are some interesting ideas in it nevertheless.

What do you think?

What is it about men with colds?

Like, why do we need to be given the fifteen-minute update?

And why can’t they seem to manage doing basic stuff that has little or nothing to do with how much they are sniffling or sneezing? Without having to announce these amazing feats of accomplishment to the world at large (ie. me).

Yeah, you guessed it. Nog has a cold. f_winkeye.gif

panic attacks

panic.gif How do you cope with them?

Panic attacks affect a lot of us and are often not very well understood, even by those experiencing them.

They also take many forms. They can feel like an impending sense of death or doom, a fear of losing one’s sanity, a feeling of losing control … all of which create a very strong sense of FEAR and panic.

What types of remedies or methods for controlling this feeling of panic work best for you?

fear and anger

I sense much fear in you,
Fear is the path to the Dark Side;
Fear leads to Anger,
Anger leads to Hate,
Hate . . . leads to Suffering.

– Yoda

Is it possible to feel anger without fear? Does fear always come first?

Recently rewatched the original Star Wars trilogy and was struck by how many times this Fear/Anger theme was mentioned. Especially with regards to Luke having to let go of his internal fear and anger in order to confront the ‘outside’ things that he fears.

I can certainly recall feeling fear without any anger. But I’m hard pressed to think of a situation in which I felt anger without also feeling either afraid or threatened somehow.

So, is Yoda right? Or is it a chicken & egg scenario?
