Pink Floyd's "Keep Talking"

DazedAndConfused's picture

This is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. This song has to be about MLC, depression, divorce, etc. It starts with a male voice on the left and the female voice on the right. After the crosses, the sides switch.

"For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination. »more»

The Cult of Facebook

ctomshaw's picture

It seemed like a good idea at the time. (But then again, I’m sure I said the same thing when I was sunk all that money into my fancy Betamax tape system.) After several months as a member of the Cult of Facebook, I started to have some concerns about the level of personal information I was putting out there for public consumption. »more»

The Not So Desperate Search For My Second Life Partner; Dinner dates who are "Still full from lunch"

A funny thing happened on the way to this blog. I actually learned something by not writing it. »more»

Ambiva-date

Dating Goddess's picture

He was funny and intelligent during the 4 calls prior to our drink date. His pictures in his online profile were a bit fuzzy, but nothing odious. Our conversation assured me he wasn’t a sex maniac, egomaniac, nor a maniac of any kind. Although it did give me some pause that he was 57 and never married. »more»

The Other Man (OM) and The Other Woman (OW) Explained

OM stands for "other man", BUT in the Shepherdess Book of Latin Definitions, OM stands for "optimus minimus"...least optimal, while OW stands for "other woman" or in the Latin it means "Overlus Willingus"...overly willing. »more»

What Is Beauty?

Delaine's picture

There are always images of beauty beyond our reach. Twiggy, Farrah, and Christie...these were the icons of beauty as I was growing up. I was pretty lucky. As a blond, I was part way there. But at age 13, when I compared my body to Twiggy, I was in for problems. I was short and overweight, and so I began a ‘flirtation’ with dieting. »more»

Internet Dating; Who says you can't put a price on love?

ctomshaw's picture

To be fair, all those Internet dating sites do what they do well. But then again, so do nuclear warheads, and I don’t think I’d have much luck around them either.

I realize what heresy it is to say something like that in this particular time at this particular place. Dating websites are everywhere. Match.com. eHarmony. True. Chemistry. Lavalife. JDate. Matchmaker. Seriously, there are more sites devoted to dating than the number of women I’ve dated in my entire life. And each one of them promises that you’ll find your soulmate, if you’ll just sign up for a nominal monthly fee. Who says you can’t put a price on love?

Far be it from me to be cynical (okay, maybe it’s not that far) about these places. I know two people who met and married their spouse via an online matchmaker. Still, I while it may work for some people, Internet dating is also a torture Satan thought up after a few shots of Jack Daniels. »more»

Music can be very powerful and can evoke memories and emotions. What song(s) best capture how you are feeling and why? (Perhaps at some point we'll put together a iTunes playlist for us all to listen to).
