If you know what a Centon is you are as big a geek as me :D<br />
<br />
Well, I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd update everyone... I'm not dead and I haven't ignored MOTC's tag... I've taped my BSG lyrics tag vid and all I have left to do is edit and upload... (yes, I said taped- I'm doin something a little bit different with my tag... muahahaha...)<br />
<br />
Apart from that I don't have much to say, so I'll end it here... short and sweet...<br />
<br />
Anyone for a rousing game of Pyramids?

Howdy everyone, Buliwif here with more nonsense to think about.<br />
<br />
So the other day the Shadow posted a blog about paradoxes of humanity. This got me thinking about a large human paradox that has always fascinated me.... The paradox called human "civilization"<br />
<br />
Wiktionary defines "Civilization" as <i>1 - Human society, or the system of society whose facilities are understood. 2 - The act or process of civilizing or becoming civilized. 3 - The state or quality of being civilized.</i> Wiktionary…

So the other day the Shadow posted a blog about paradoxes of humanity. This got me thinking about a large human paradox that has always fascinated me.... The paradox called human "civilization"<br />
<br />
Wiktionary defines "Civilization" as <i>1 - Human society, or the system of society whose facilities are understood. 2 - The act or process of civilizing or becoming civilized. 3 - The state or quality of being civilized.</i> Wiktionary defines "<i>civilized</i>" as <i>1- Having a highly developed society or culture. 2 - Showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, reasonable, ethical. 3 - Marked by refinement in taste and manners.</i><br />
<br />
Would you agree with these definitions? How is it that I could claim civilization as a paradox? Well, let's look at what is considered the hight of civilization nowadays, namely the large cultural centers, i.e big cities... Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc. etc. as compared to small towns which could be considered "less refined" by today's standards. Ask someone from said small town how many people they know in town... Now ask someone from any big city how many people they know from the edge of town.... Three blocks over... in their own apartment building... Their next door neighbors! Odds are that even though those big cities are teeming with life, the big city person's list of people will be substantially smaller than the small town person. In fact, chances are that the big city person is outright afraid to say hi to someone on the street! Why do you think that is?<br />
<br />
The reason for that, in my opinion, is what I like to consider the single greatest Human Paradox ever! You see humans, by nature, are savagely territorial. They choose their area and they guard it with their lives. Get too close and they snap. The problem with this, and this is where the paradox comes in, is that humans crave companionship. They instinctively group together for security and comfort... Yet as they group closer together, they begin to become withdrawn and antisocial... it's a vicious cycle...<br />
<br />
Take a look at the violent crime rates between large cities and small towns. Do you think the difference is due to the fact that the populations of those cities are so large that the odds are just higher that there would be more crime? Or is it simply that there's more crime because as people group closer together, they become more violent?<br />
<br />
I'm no scientist (I just play one on the internet), but it doesn't take much to notice the correlation... The more you become civilized, the more savage you become. Paradox...<br />
<br />
Of course I could just be blowing smoke out my posterior, But it's always been something that made me go hmmmm...<br />
<br />
I think I'll go introduce myself to my neighbors...BORED STIFF AND WREKT!tag:lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com,2009-01-06:2426069:BlogPost:213282009-01-06T10:09:56.000ZBuliwifhttps://lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com/profile/Buliwif
So......................<br />
<br />
'm bored... Slow night.... Checked out the wreckroom... Apparently I'm brilliant, although the Bejeweled gods might disagree. So might blinky the ghost....<br />
<br />
I have developed a theory as to what Hell might be like gamers (not that I'm dissin' on teh gamerz, but I'm bored and my mind wanders):<br />
<br />
You spend all eternity playing bejeweled while a demon stands literally over your shoulder watching your progress like a hawk. If you run out of moves, you are dragged away,…

You spend all eternity playing bejeweled while a demon stands literally over your shoulder watching your progress like a hawk. If you run out of moves, you are dragged away, mauled severely, and then reconstituted back in front of the monitor with a new game just starting... And you don't even get that funky-cool new-age music a-la Bejeweled 2, just a screen with a little tiny window playing basic Bejeweled part 1 for all eternity. *shivers*<br />
<br />
This will not be my fate, however. I reached my gaming peak with Megaman on the old NES system in the early 90's. No, I fear my stint in the underworld will involve being strapped to a chair with my eyes pried open being forced to watch Ewe Boll movies for a couple eons. (if you didn't get the humor behind that do an IMDB search on Ewe Boll... you'll get it)<br />
<br />
Needless to say I'd better resolve to change my sinful ways soon.<br />
<br />
That brings me to the wonderful subject of New Years resolutions... This year I resolve to make one.... Seriously.<br />
<br />
That's not to say I don't need to change a few things in my life. The list gets longer every day. It's just that the main things I need to change is that I'm lazy and I procrastinate. See what I mean? I'll get to it eventually.<br />
<br />
Maybe I should resolve to stop recycling lame, played out jokes.... Naawww...<br />
<br />
How you guys doin?<br />
<br />
As I write this I see MOTC is online.... Quit doggin' me, dude... Sheesh...<br />
<br />
Blinky's prolly laughin at me right now... I'm gonna go kick his little ghost ass...BOATS AND HO'S!tag:lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com,2009-01-04:2426069:BlogPost:205342009-01-04T07:34:25.000ZBuliwifhttps://lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com/profile/Buliwif
I have absolutely NO subject for this blog at all whatsoever. There is no reason for me to be typing this at the moment as I have nothing to say, and likewise there is no reason for you to be here reading this blog which, as I stated earlier, has no subject to it at all.... None. Nein.... Nada.....<br />
<br />
And yet I am still typing. Why do you think that is? Seems I just can't stop these ol' finners from tapping away at this keyboard.... Freaky....<br />

<br />
Maybe it's a nervous reaction to posting on a new site? Sure, all the faces are familiar, but it's a different site nonetheless... Maybe I'm just bored and decided to fill my time by tapping mindlessly at this keyboard. That could be it as well.<br />
<br />
I dunno. could be anything. They said that three planets aligned with the moon last week. Maybe this is some adverse reaction to interplanetary hoodoo.<br />
<br />
I'm prolly just bored.<br />
<br />
You still here?<br />
<br />
Wanna sing showtunes?<br />
<br />
Me neither....
