Congratulations NOstatus

tabs · 11:17 AM

Your posts under the "What is" Thread were the most TABBY like thinking that I've seen you do yet. You allowed yourself to think free form without internal constraints. Theres a question to asked here, but I'm too polite to ask it? I'll leave it that you were being creative.

My PhD Clinical Psychologist friend has a theory that Creativity comes out of Chaos. That creativity is the attempt to make sense or a new order out of disorder. Reorganization with new parameters, until those parameters eventually break down resulting in a new state of disorder. I think he may have published on this. Thats why it seems that the most creative people are well unstable.

Dude, that wasn't tab-ism, that was a loving pastiche of zanick2's inspired doggerel.

The answer is, "yes, I am frickin' nuts."

There is a fine line between stupid and clever. I regularly jump up and down on it.

I'm more partial to quantum applications towards philosophy, probably becuase I don't know enough chaos theory. KAOS on the other hand...I know waaay too much about that. In fact, if I don't stop typing right now I likely will be silenced for good, if you know what I mean. Those boys play rought, and it is only a matter of time before

My apology to Nostatus. I showed my ignorance. Maybe I gave him too much credit. Please give me a reference to the doggerel so I may learn something!

I knew it. You actually are BankOne! You sir, will never be in *my wallet. Mostly becuase you'd never fit.

Do you come in a smaller size?

How many credits for the little girl?

No NO I thought maybe it being a Holiday, you had a nip or two, as you seemed a bit loose. We are all crazy, it's those who let it loose that are ultimately sane.

You might say I have become perfect in my imperfection.

Oh by the way another Phd Clinical Psychologist that started the Graduate School of Psych at Fuller Seminary told me once that "cynicism is the begining of death" Perhaps it has to do with the giving up of hope or faith, and the begining of I can't do anything about it so...

nostatic · nostatic's Garage

a guy on the corner downtown told me "hope is for dumbasses"

I firmly believe in the serenity prayer. For me cynicism is just realism with an attitude.

Hope is when things maybe bad, it maybe dark and gloomy but there is still a way out.

Faith is when you gota walk on water things are so bad.

Even though you may live in Sodom and Gomhera...your presence can influence those around you for the better. There is an AA saying about changing the things you can and accepting the things you can't change. I believe Clint said, "A mans got to know his limitations"

That is the first part of the serenity prayer:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Someone also said in the end the only thing we leave behind are our children. Knowing my son, gawd help the world. As for me, I just want to leave some decent music. Maybe I'll put it behind the couch so it doesn't get mussed up...

Your presence lingers as a reflection in your children, and will continue until the last person who knows your child is gone.

man, I'm going to have to kill a lot of people then. Are you sure that's how this works?

tabs · 12-01-2003, 01:01 PM

I think so, my grand father has been dead for nearly 40 years and you can see his influence on me. Or anyone who knew the both of us could anyway. So the reflection is there.

For instance if you like to go to the movies, and take your children, they will more than likely like to do the same thing and it gets passed down.

It goes deeper than that it goes to your value system...

They say children are an inherited trait. If your parents didn't have any, you probably won't either.

hey, you're trying to trick me. If my parents didn't have any kids, then I *couldn't* have any since I'd have different colored eyes. It's the same reason you don't see male tortoise shell colored cats.

I know how genetics works...

God grant me the strength to change that which I can,
the serenity to accept that which I cannot,
and the firepower to make the difference.

My parents didn't have any children that surived either.

dd74 · 12-01-2003, 01:38 PM

Puppy? Anyone have a puppy I can cuddle?

nostatic · nostatic's Garage

no puppy, but I have a baby harp seal for you.

oh, wait a minute. Don't worry, that stain will come right out...
