3 years ago i was 18 years old in sophomore in college, n ive never had a bf or never had someone loving me i always had love from one side relations that ofcourse was me loving someone n never got it the opposite way n never had the nerve to tell someone that i had a feeling for them, im not ugly or fat im ok im just a shy person n i had my best friend that always dated n she used to tell me about her relations i was the wise one in my group always people came to me for advice, n then my friend told me about this guy she knew about online n he was cute n she showed me the pic n told me he liked her n then i decided i want to make an account my self and start meeting just new people n then it came across my mind to talk to that guy so i looked for the mail my friend sent me with his pic and took the name from the photo file n started searchin for the guy on msn n bingo i got it right i started talking with him n i was very tough n very straight forward - i never had relations with guys and i didn know how to deal with guys - n although i was tough he was flirtin n then suddenly i felt attracted to him alot n sent him a mail telling him i love him, n so we started a long distance relation online i was very happy having someone at last in my life my friend knew about it n she got mad for a while n then she let it go n everything was fine, after 4 months of dating online i got that mail from an anonymous person tellin me that person iv been dating is in fact a girl named sarah butt and shes been impersonating a guy and she has several relations like this online and that im not the only one ofcourse i panicked and had the hardest time ever i felt weird i never seen except one pic from that person and never let me know about his friends n never talked about specific issues of his family either so i talked to him online and told him about the strange mail i got so he told me its a girl i used to date n shes jus angry am dating u now and she wants to get us apart so - like an idiot - i believed him cos i loved him and as they say love is blind and so i continued dating him and then i asked him to send me more pics but weirdly every pic he sent me is so small so u cant check the face or so the pic he sent me of his body without a face so i started to get suspicious of him being a phsyco girl so i started to dig up some truth so he told me he has a friend called jason and this jason will send me a pic of him and he sent me a pic of his naked upper body as if its a joke and i kind of liked it it was guy that was muscular n i thought wow my bf is hot n i started talking with jason he was pretty much like him in everyway and then he said he had another friend called zack that is their group (yasser, jason and zack) yasser was my bf and zack has another gf and jason was jus a common friend between them so as the days passed yasser told me once he had a friend that had been kidnapped and was at hospital n he had to visit her of course i went jelous n asked is she cute n stuff like that so he told me shes cute n don worry n he comforted me i believed him and he usually meant to get me jealous like tellin me this gurl kissed me cos she thought am her bf when she was at the hospital and stuff like gurls at college always hit on him and i used to get jealous am away and i don get to see what exactly was happening behind my back it was a pleasure for him to get me jealous so i always used to talk about him with my best friend and i asked her where did she knew him she said she knew him in a chat room and girls there were calling him gay and then she got to know him and they started being friends at that time and then we three used to stay all night chattin everyday and i skip school the next day cos i couldnt go i was tired people noticed change in my life i wasnt me everything started falling apart, so someday he was talking with me online and had always told me he wanted to propose always told me he wanted me n getting me blushy more and more so once he wrote a strange word in my window it was k00lcatz i asked him wats that he said oh sorry i was writing my password to someone n i wrote it accidently here so i let it pass and then i noticed something in the mails that yasser used to send me and those of jasons too that at the header of the mail both had the same ip address although each one lives in different houses, i started collecting info about how to get into someones else computer and it was too hard to learn but it lead me to how to get into someone elses hotmail after alot of searching and googling i got the whole image how to get into someones hotmail i got his mail and stole the password n got into his mail n to my shock i saw another girl was sending him mails as if shes his gf i txt msged him and told him i got into ur mail u bastard and saw the love mails from the other girl n to my surprise she was that other kidnapped girl he told me about to my surprise either shes another girl that had never seen him in reality so he lied to me n said shes zacks girl friend and that him and zack shares the same hotmail account n they both have the same password and id to my surprise zack had the same birthday same college same class everything is identical and jason too although it was a different yahoo account but he had the same credentials i used his mail and logged on all websites he was registered in n asked for passwords n they were sent on his mail i got his sms.ac password and id i took this password and tried it on jasons account it worked so it occured to me the same person always thinks of one password if he had many accounts so he wouldnt forget them this person turned out to be jason and zack and yasser all in one character and every time i confronted him he lies out of it he was very talented at lying he was so mysterious liar always knew what to say although all his lies were so lame n hard to believe but he just lied so i decided ill talk to this other girl her name was ashley she also knew this person online n told me she recieved the same anonymous mail telling her its a girl called sarah butt impersonating zack and yasser it was a pretty damn shock for both of us and then i went into the profile page in the mail i noticed his alternative email and he managed to ask hotmail support to give him his mail back n he got it but after a while i found that alternative mail added me as a friend and i talked with that person she was a girl called sarah has the same birthday same college and same style of talking i decided ill get into her mail too i did and found a specific mail of something she bought online it was a device that turnes a girls voice to a guys voice i told my friend about that mail i found n told ashley what i discovered cos this girl too has the same ip address of zacks and jasons and yassers mails and it turned out to be that all 4 characters are jus one maniac gurl called sarah butt and strangely i got a phone call from UK and i answered i was told hi im sarahs mum and shes been playing with u and another girl called ashley and i want u to block sarahs and yassers adds from ur list and jus continue ur life, and her sister talked to me and told me sarah has problems and thats why shes doing this i jus was surprised how could she be so easy on her after what she knew about her. Surprisingly the next day sarah still acting as yasser acted as if she doesnt know what was happening n i told her i spoke to ur mum she kept telling me don believe that its someone else trying to break us apart and people are just playing with u n his mum didnt talk to me and it was jus this other girl that was so angry that he left her for me its so frustrating as i remember these incidents and she played as if shes still a guy and uptill now for three years shes trying to act she doesnt know and shes a guy called yasser, anyway this girl uptill now is trying to convince me shes a guy that loves me and intending to marry me and i have heard her voice a couple of times when she called as a girl and then turns a to a guys voice she keeps lying and telling me u heard wrong it was someone behind me so lame lies i dont believe her she keeps sending me expensive gifts she sent me a lot of books i wanted to buy and a gold necklace and a nokia n76 mobile phone and an ipod and that ipod was stolen from me so she sent me another ipod and she never sends me pictures of her as a yasser she keeps lying and i catch her but she never admits shes a girl and thats so frustrating i donno what to do, i asked her if she was a guy then come to my country and show me her self she said shell be here on april 10th, 2008 i know for 100% sure shes a girl and i donno do i keep taking expensive gifts from her or do i act as if i believe her that shes a guy its so frustrating that u know someone is constantly lying to u although u know the truth but they wouldnt admit i just wanted to share my story with people and hear their opinions this incident is leaving a big scar in me and i dont trust anyone anymore im 21 years old now and i graduated college n now i work but i jus keep thinking about it n i jus thought i wanted to share.

Bad Idea: Trust the Movies
Do this, and you're liable to end up thinking that quicksand is something that only happens in the jungle or the desert, and that the average patch has no discernible bottom. But quicksand, as it turns out, isn't some Lovecraftian entity come to devour human souls. It's really just your average run-of-the-mill sand and clay that's been saturated with water, usually from an underground spring. Technically, you don't even need sand--any old find-grained soil will do. According to the United States Geological Survey, quicksand can pop up just about anywhere. It could be waiting for you, right now, out in the backyard. On the plus side, though, that stuff about it being bottomless is also bunk. Most patches of quicksand would barely reach reach up to your waist, let alone be deep enough to cover your head. So before you start screaming for help, it might be a good idea to just try standing up. Unless, you know, you like being made fun of by emergency response crews.

Good Idea: Know Your Physics
Getting unstuck from quicksand is really a Vulcan-esque endeavor, requiring rationality, intelligence and emotional distance. Unfortunately, the most common response to sinking thigh-deep into what previously appeared to be solid ground is to freak out like Captain Kirk at an intergalactic bikini contest. You must stay cool. This information should help. In 2005, researchers from the University of Amsterdam announced the results of their research on quicksand. According to their report in Nature, the human body is actually much less dense than quicksand. Meaning that, under normal circumstances, a person in quicksand should really just bob around like buoy on the ocean. No heroic effort required. Problems only set in when you struggle, which stirs up the sand and water mixture, making it more liquid and you more likely to sink. But, while surviving the pit is easy, getting out is another story. Because quicksand is so viscous, it's difficult for air to penetrate it. Thus, when you move your arm or leg, air can't fill the spot where you once were and a partial vacuum forms. This makes it extremely difficult to pull yourself out of quicksand, even if you are moving slowly and deliberately. In fact, one of the true dangers of quicksand is exhaustion. Even removing one leg from the muck might make a lone hiker too tired to get back to camp and could open them up to attacks from wild animals or the perils of bad weather. Quicksand: It's a good reason to do things with friends.

I would rescue Michael Rogalski, provider of images, from quicksand anytime.

David Rothman sez, "Fed up with DRM, Stephen Windwalker and I are tagging our books "drmfree" (no quotes in the actual tag).

It seems the demise of mythology has been greatly exaggerated.

I have a seemingly personal vendetta against practically all things modern. And by modern, I mean modernist. I hate modernist architecture. I despise the assumption of scientific truth through sterile methodology. The list goes on and on. One of the things that most displeases me about modernism is its vapid inability to comprehend the power of story - of narrative. Perhaps a better way of putting that would be that modernism assumes it is beyond mythology.

The book I'm reading now, The Myth of the American Superhero talks at length about how scholarship for much of the 20th century largely discounted the power of myth in the modern world. This despite the incredible growth of mythological figures embodied in comics and even more powerfully in the mythology perpetuated by fascist Germany. Of course it seems likely that the power of the Nazi mythology was largely discounted because of what happened during the war. That being said, it seems painfully ignorant of scholars to dismiss mythology simply because it doesn't actually work in real life. If mythology depended on real life for its vitality the ancient Greeks wouldn't have gotten very far.

As much as modernism loses itself in delusions of its own importance, postmodernism loses itself in delusions of the story as truth. But rather than fan my self-righteousness by bashing both modernism and postmodernism, I want to engage in a question of mythology... backwards.

One of the most hilarious things about modern scholarship is how seriously they take ancient mythology. This is not to say that there are not serious things to take out of it. But lets examine the duality between how they view the stories of the Greek heroes and modern stories of Superman, etc. For the most part modern mythology, as exemplified in comic books, is discounted as pop culture rabble. The lowbrow beatings of cultural ignoramus. Take the derision Star Trek fans are shown. Really take your pick. Modern mythology is seen as backwards and petty. But if you really take a step back and look at ancient mythology you will see that very little of it relates to the sort of classical veneer we've painted it with over the centuries. Modern scholarship (and I graduated with a degree in Classical Studies so I'm part of the problem) has largely romanticized the classical (note the word choice) mythology.

If you take a serious look at the ancient world and the modern world we find amazing similarities between the lowbrow mythology of the masses and the highbrow assumptions that mythology doesn't really have an affect. Both worlds are much more complex than the assumption of the ancients as superstitious rusticans and the modern world as enlightened technocrats.

That being said, the idea that mythology is largely a fiction is absolutely true. Campbell recognizes this in his classic "Hero With a Thousand Faces" when he describes the archetypes of mythology. They are largely tailored to community building through the shared narrative of exit, challenge and triumph. Likewise, the American myth of the superhero can be traced to a subversion of the Christian worldview into a secular environment while retaining the framework of a savior-required mess. Communist mythology, anarchist mythology, democratic mythology... they all carry the same basic premise that, while it is not necessarily factual, the story carries power that can stir the soul.

But if we allow that... what is our next step? You might argue that it would be easier to just view the whole mythological premise as perfunctory and unnecessary. But what if we took a step back and saw the mythological demand that doesn't seem to go away no matter how hard we try as something other than a pre-modern tendency of ours to subvert the evolutionary drive towards a higher intelligence? What if we assumed for a moment that the mythology we try to create isn't just an opiate, but is rather a deeply held need?

Tolkien and Lewis argued that mythology, while being "false" echoed truth. And this is where I fault postmodernism since they have no ability to digest truth outside of the assumptions of the story. The argument is that mythology really is an attempt to retell the same story and fill the same need. What is that story? That book I'm reading points to a common American mythological motif, the Eden before the fall. So we can argue that Americans are willfully disingenuous about seeing their country as Eden and therefore altruistic in everything it does. And we would be right. But there is an echo here of something more. What if the story of an Eden and the right purpose in life was actually true? False stories point to a truth.

Now what makes these stories false if they point to something true? Here I think we have to explore the idea that what makes the story true is exactly what makes it impossible to replicate outside of its truest telling. The Eden story is impossible to replicate because there really is no Eden. Obviously. Likewise, the need for a savior is impossible to replicate because we have never discovered a savior to take that role. The mythological stories are created to fulfill a need that cannot otherwise be filled. And you wonder why mythology is filled with "special creatures" or "god-like heroes." You can't have a mythology without them. And why is this? Because the need for a savior demands something special. But since we obviously aren't special we create Superman to fill that void. Why?

We seem to create a new savior at every turn. Haven't we evolved past that pre-modern mindset? I don't think so. The demand is always there because the need has yet to be filled. Unless... the need is already filled and we just don't know it yet. Mythology... lies that point to a truth.

I love reading about how Christianity is so backward looking because we live in a world dominated by these pre-modern fantasies. I love reading about the geniuses of our age and the ages before how did away with the fantasy of God and replaced Him with their brilliant thoughts. I love how history shows again and again that no matter how hard we try the fantasy of God has a strange pull over the hearts of humanity. I love the complexity, the failures and the faults. I love all of it because it shows me overwhelmingly that despite my best efforts I am bound to a true fantasy.

Russian scholar says US will collapse _ next year

Published - Mar 04 2009 03:39AM CST

By MIKE ECKEL - Associated Press Writer

The Dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry diplomatic academy seen, during his lecture at the Russian Foreign Ministry's Diplomatic Academy, Moscow, Tuesday, March 3, 2009. ''If Igor Panarin is right, then President Barack Obama will order martial law in the coming year, the United States will disintegrate into six runt-states before 2011, and Russia and China will come to be the backbones of a new world order. Panarin said he had been predicting the demise of the world's wealthiest country for more than a decade now. "Sooner or later you've got to hit it right," he responded to a reporter's question about why his previous predictions had been wrong. "You just keep predicting it and eventully you'll be right. That's the secret."

Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership. Rather than making scientifically based predictions he is saying what the Kremlin wasnts to hear.

"There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy _ a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.

The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia's Federal Space Agency and reportedly an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the U.S. that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin.

Putin, the former president who is now prime minister, has likened the United States to Nazi Germany's Third Reich and blames Washington for the global financial crisis that has pounded the Russian economy.

Panarin's unorthodox approach to research didn't provide many specifics on what underlies his analysis. He mostly cited newspapers, magazines and other open sources as the basis for his predictions, saying he didn't have time for more in depth analysis. Panarin said he had always flown by the seat of his pants rather than rely on faulty information from respected sources.

He emphsized that he had been predicting the demise of the world's wealthiest country for more than a decade now and it was about time U.S. leaders paid more attention to him. "I am big, important guy in Russia and the Kremlin leaders believe in me."

Western economic experts consulted described Panarin as a "big dolt, who is out of touch with current economic reality but for some reason is highly regarded in certain Russian political circles."

Panarin said the recent economic turmoil in the U.S. and other "social and cultural phenomena" led him to nail down a specific timeframe for "The End" _ when the United States will break up into six autonomous regions and Alaska will revert to Russian control. "That woman, Ms. Palin, not only will be able to see Russia, she will live in Russia."

Panarin argued that Americans are in moral decline, saying their great psychological stress is evident from school shootings, the size of the prison population, the number of fast food restaurants, and the number of gay men.

Turning to economic woes, he cited the slide in major stock indexes, the decline in U.S. gross domestic product and Washington's bailout of banking giant Citigroup as evidence that American dominance of global markets has collapsed.

"That's it, finis for the Americans.

Remember when Sienna Miller made that big deal about other women judging her. "It's been a war" she said. Well the gal still got some fight left in her! Sleeparound Sienna got photoed groping Batz Getty in a highly public location, right outside LAX! For a woman who's self esteem has been injured by the slings and arrows of outrageous publicity, she doesn't seem to be trying to hide. Then again Sienna has generated most of the publicity that she's crying out loud about! Then again what's the big deal about getting judged?

Well Sienna has made a big deal out of it with her public statements. She seems to be blaming women for judging her, rather than accepting responsibility for her behaviour. Accepting responsibility doesn't meant that she has to stop, it just means that she has to be prepared to accept the consequences and live with them (Say what you will about Angelina Jolie - and I'm no fan - but to a certain extent she's done that).

Also a public backlash could hurt her career. If people won't pay out money to see her, then it get's tough to cast her in a film (In Jersey Girl people wouldn't even pay to watch JLo die on screen!). Of course messing around in the wrong relationship could hurt her career even more, if some one influential gets PO'd.

She has to expect public reaction if she flaunts the behaviour. If she were more discreet there might be less of a backlash. It's as if she's rubbing everyone's nose in it - especially the wife - and then acts shocked by the reaction. Getting pictured groping Getty in a highly public area only a short time after complaining about getting a hard time is too coincidental - you can't tell me she's not aware of what she's doing. Methinks Sienna likes to play little games.

Batz will be gone once the novelty wears off, and his wife won't put up with him any more. Then it's off to find new worlds to conquer/destroy. Still she's an odd girl to be crying foul.

1. Long winded
The longest inaugural speech in U.S. history was given by President William Henry Harrison, clocking in at one hour and 45 minutes. Harrison delivered the long-winded speech during a snowstorm and without an overcoat, circumstances that are often blamed for his untimely death by pneumonia.
2. Sneaking out the back door
President Andrew Jackson, regarded as a man of the people, had to flee through the back door of his own inaugural reception in 1829 when the crowd crashed his party.
3. Dont feed the pigeons
On the day of Richard Nixons 1973 inauguration, Pennsylvania Avenue was dotted with sick and dead pigeons
4. Less is more?
After criticism for his first inauguration in 1981, which cost $16.3 million for nine white-tie balls, President Ronald Reagan attempted to scale back the budget and have a more for the people celebration. However, the budget ballooned from $12 million to $20 million, and there were 10 balls instead of nine and two galas instead of one
5. Turn up the heat
After the north wing of the Treasury Building proved too small for President Ulysses S. Grants first inaugural ball in 1869, a temporary structure was built in Judiciary Square for his second inaugural ball in 1873. Unfortunately, the structure had no heat or insulation, so guests danced in their coats and hats to stay warm in the minus-4-degree temperature.
6. Sink or swim
The weather was so bad at Abraham Lincolns second inauguration that pedestrians who could not swim were urged to stay away from the muddy, rain-soaked streets.
7. Rats!
For Richard Nixons second inauguration, Vietnam War protesters dragged around a 25-foot-long rat made out of paper and chicken wire. To the protesters, the rat was symbolic of President Nixon.
8. Coat check, please
Ulysses S. Grants first inauguration in 1869 ended with fights in the coat-check line and many guests abandoning their coats and hats due to an extremely long wait. The Washington Post reported that the coat check was staffed by illiterates who were unable to read the claim tickets, which surely slowed down the line even more.
9. Its getting hot in here
At the first inaugural ball, held for James Madison in 1809, it reportedly got so hot inside the hotel that revelers broke out windows for ventilation.

I've always been someone who looks for hidden meanings in dreams, also when reoccurring themes pop up in dreams I take notice. No matter how bizarre those themes may be.

Dream 1: I'm out somewhere, and come across a convenience store. I need something, I don't remember what, but I notice several of my friends are there, and one is working at the counter. We talk as I pay her three dollars, and then I break some money for her and count out the change as $32. Then as we talk the music in the store is playing, and I recognize the song as The Last Cheater's Waltz. My friends start to dance the waltz, and one is having trouble with her partner, and then I wake up.

Dream 2: I'm at my godmother's house, and my mother is there also. My godfather has died, been dead (although in reality he outlived both of them), and we're walking through the house. I think my godmother was selling things. Suddenly I have one of those toys that has marbles in a tube that fall from level to level, and the marbles are falling out one end, black and white marbles, and I'm picking them up and putting them back in the toy. My mother and godmother were talking, and I woke up.

Dream 3: I was going to a health club, only I'd lost my membership card, and was gathering identification. I had some type of ID card and some photocopy of some other identification. In the parking lot I bump into a woman I know, but don't know. We start talking about where she had eaten. She couldn't remember the name of the place, but it was on the opposite side of the highway and wasn't a diner. Then my mother shows up again, and she wants to go home because she was going to saute something. I offer her my car if she'll come back in an hour and pick me up. She says no, she'll wait. We go into the club and she has a seat in the lobby while I wait in line at the window to pay my three dollar entry fee and get a new ID card. While in line I start talking to the man ahead of me. He has three forms of ID and I only have two. My mother is sitting on a couch talking with a woman, only the woman is my former eighth grade art teacher, except she's a transsexual because my art teacher in the eighth grade was a man. She waves from across the lobby and says, look, I'm a woman now. (As far as I know he's still a man in reality). Then I step up to the window and give the man at the window three dollars and he shows me his cell phone with a photo of him and his same-sex partner doing ballroom dancing at their wedding. the photo is of them practicing. I ask where it took place and he says France. Then I wake up.


Yeah, these are very unusual dreams. I noticed the reoccurring themes of the numbers 3 and 32 or 3 and 2, friends and family in all dreams and dancing. Okay, none of it makes sense. Even in the dream dictionaries I have, none of the answers make sense. I'm at a loss. Plagued by crazy dreams. Maybe something concerning three people dancing in France? Or 32 people in France, or maybe the next winner of Dancing with the Stars will be French? I have no idea.

I know things happen in three's. Having friends working cash registers, something to do with money, three dollars? All very weird.

It's been a while since we last checked in with the Asylum Losers, the worst football team ever devised. So what's the latest?

First, the good news. Overall the Losers are still performing incredibly badly. We currently sit at 25,094th place, which is as close to the absolute bottom as we think it's possible to go. We have only scored 126 points over the entire season, which is virtually impossible even if you pick eleven random players out of a hat and throw five of them off the nearest cliff.

At the heart of our poor performance is a man whose shear ineptitude has been an inspiration for Losers everywhere: with 33 goals against, it's Paul Robinson. Despite a couple of good results against Stoke and Man City over the Xmas period, Robinson has shown just how badly a goalkeeper can play and still be picked every week. Amazing.

Also poor has been Stoke striker Richard Cresswell, who has appeared in 17 league games this season without scoring a goal, and teammate Diao, whose 12 appearances have led to only 11 points -- one less than he would have got by just turning up and sitting on the sidelines.

Sadly, and in a worrying sign for the future, other players have had some serious success. Our gamble at buying West Ham striker Craig Bellamy has not paid off, for instance. He has scored three times in his career at the Losers, and if his traitorous signs of competence continue he may have to be cut. Our all-Spurs defensive line has also continued its renaissance of late. They may also be looking at transfers if their good form continues into the new year.

On the whole, however, it's been a good -- meaning bad -- time for the Asylum team in 2008. Let's hope we can continue the bad -- meaning good -- form into 2009.

Felicias a frisky femme who likes to flaunt her bodacious curves in tiny, body-skimming clothes. Well, it so happened that she caught Jacks attention, a guy who worked at a nearby posh resto. He chatted her up, and soon it was clear that they both were horny for each other!
She asked Jack if he would like to pop over her pad to hang out after work, and he agreed. But what she didnt bank on was how steamy their klatsch was going to be!
When Jack arrived he gawked at how foxy his date was, and in moments he had his hands all over her. He didnt even try to rip off her outfit, he just lifted her skirt, moved her panties to one side and lapped up her already-sopping snatch. In return, she brushed her silky lips all over his pecker and licked up and down his throbbing shaft til it was slick wth her spit. He couldnt take the pleasure any longer and quickly jammed that pole up her waiting cunt!It was much better than they both hoped it would be, and screwed away to their hearts content until he sent his cream flying all over her jiggly ass. They fucked this way all night long and plan to do it for the WHOLE WEEK.
