stressing two issues

xsoulsiren — Sun, 09 May 2010 06:06:50 +0000

People nowadays evolving, taking a step forward to modern life. Usually, what we do was listening to music in our cassette tapes, watching movies in the VHS players, sweat our asses in some outdoor games, working our brains in some BOARD games, baking, cooking, have a ‘lil get together with friends in the yard to have a bbque, or even gather round in one place and have a guitar playing session with your friends, or walk by the beach with your special someone reminiscing about the past or talking about the future. In this day and age, people seldom do this things; cause what is ON now is the world wide web. Spending time in some Online Games, Chatting, Surfing the net for some updates, Fishing for an older men to have a life with, engaging in social networking sites. Speaking of the latter, statistic does say a number of people hooked in to Facebook. This is where people see each other to chat, making hello’s and goodbyes, putting up what you think of something or someone, tagging anyone of your photo or some pictures that you would love to share it with, sharing your day to day activities, way of communicating in the upcoming events. In some way, this is the place where one try to express themselves independently.

Others, grown tired of seeing wall post that doesn’t make sense, others like it for nothing in particular reason. Some, If I may say use this for their campaign. Campaigning in Voting. (*stressing this only to those that are in this parts of the country).

Reading from the wall post of many of my fb friends, how they were soo ever loyal to their candidate. Their WALL POST full of CANDIDATE’s UPDATES, news, point of views and Criticism to the opposing party …everyday their status is mostly and all about HIM..yadah blah blah, and much more. Heck, they even change their PROFILE PICTURE just to let everyone know their totally devoted to HIM (*their candidate). They’ve proven their point.

I’m not a political activist, a protest or anything, but this phenomenon is quite contagious not to react to it. I know, not voting is not right. But the act of voting itself knowing that their is no good leader to govern this country is even WORSE. It’s like expecting the inevitable. But hey, conscience free..make your votes, do your rights and stick to the program.

Whenever, things get ugly too ugly even. People will start questioning, regrets, impeach and such — remember, you vote, you did this.

Its our nature to get hooked to something or someone that blinded us of the truth. We turned a blind eye, and covered our ears with so much HOPe. To think HOPe is all lost for us. This country is well damned for eternity.

Bipolar Disorder: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment of Manic Depression

Bipolar Disorder: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment of Manic Depression.

We all have our ups and downs, our “off” days and our “on” days, but if you’re suffering from bipolar disorder, these peaks and valleys are more severe. The symptoms of bipolar disorder can hurt your job and school performance, damage your relationships, and disrupt your daily life. And although bipolar disorder is treatable, many people don’t recognize the warning signs and get the help they need. Since bipolar disorder tends to worsen without treatment, it’s important to learn what the symptoms look like. Recognizing the problem is the first step to getting it under control.

*excerpt from the site.

During a manic episode, a person might impulsively quit a job, charge up huge amounts on credit cards, or feel rested after sleeping two hours. During a depressive episode, the same person might be too tired to get out of bed and full of self-loathing and hopelessness over being unemployed and in debt.

The causes of bipolar disorder aren’t completely understood, but it often runs in families. The first manic or depressive episode of bipolar disorder usually occurs in the teenage years or early adulthood. The symptoms can be subtle and confusing, so many people with bipolar disorder are overlooked or misdiagnosed–resulting in unnecessary suffering.

Bipolar disorder and suicide

The depressive phase of bipolar disorder is often very severe, and suicide is a major risk factor. In fact, people suffering from bipolar disorder are more likely to attempt suicide than those suffering from regular depression. Furthermore, their suicide attempts tend to be more lethal.

The risk of suicide is even higher in people with bipolar disorder who have frequent depressive episodes, mixed episodes, a history of alcohol or drug abuse, a family history of suicide, or an early onset of the disease.
The warning signs of suicide include:

* Talking about death, self-harm, or suicide
* Feeling hopeless or helpless
* Feeling worthless or like a burden to others

* Acting recklessly, as if one has a “death wish”
* Putting affairs in order or saying goodbye
* Seeking out weapons or pills that could be used to commit suicide

Laughing it all out! lol

Tech: “Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?”
Customer: “Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.”
Tech: “What sort of trouble?”
Customer: “Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.”
Tech: “Went away?”
Customer: “They disappeared.”
Tech: “Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?”
Customer: “Nothing.”
Tech: “Nothing?”
Customer: “It’s blank; it won’t accept anything when I type.”
Tech: “Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?”
Customer: “How do I tell?”
Tech: “Can you see the “C” prompt on the screen?”
Customer: “What’s a sea-prompt?”
Tech: “Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?”
Customer: “There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I type.”
Tech: “Does your monitor have a power indicator?”
Customer: “What’s a monitor?”
Tech: “It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it’s on?”
Customer: “I don’t know.”
Tech: “Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?”
Customer: “…Yes, I think so.”
Tech: “Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged into the wall.”
Customer: “…Yes, it is.”
Tech: “When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?”
Customer: “No.”
Tech: “Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.”
Customer: “…Okay, here it is.”
Tech: “Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the back of your computer.”
Customer: “I can’t reach.”
Tech: “Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?”
Customer: “No.”
Tech: “Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?”
Customer: “Oh, it’s not because I don’t have the right angle-it’s because it’s dark.”
Tech: “Dark?”
Customer: “Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.”
Tech: “Well, turn on the office light then.”
Customer: “I can’t.”
Tech: “No? Why not?”
Customer: “Because there’s a power outage.”
Tech: “A power… a power outage? Aha! Okay, we’ve got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?”
Customer: “Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.”
Tech: “Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.”
Customer: “Really? Is it that bad?”
Tech: “Yes, I’m afraid it is.”
Customer: “Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?”
Tech: “Tell them you’re too stupid to own a computer.”

Incubus is an American rock band, from Calabasas, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer Jose Pasillas while enrolled in high school. The band expanded to include bassist Alex “Dirk Lance” Katunich, and Gavin “DJ Lyfe” Koppell, both of whom were eventually replaced by bassist Ben Kenney, and DJ Kilmore respectively.

Incubus has received both critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several highly successful singles. The band started branching out creatively and earned mainstream recognition with the release of their 1999 album Make Yourself. In 2001, Incubus became hugely successful with the single “Drive” and their follow up album Morning View. Their latest studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at #1 in 2006 and has received Gold certification in the U.S. Incubus released their first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies in June 2009, accompanied by a tour of the United States and Canada.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997—1998)
Make Yourself (1999—2001)
Morning View (2001—2002)
A Crow Left of the Murder… (2003—2004)
Light Grenades (2005—2008)
Hiatus (2008)
Monuments and Melodies and seventh studio album (2008—present)

Over the course of their career, Incubus has utilized elements from a variety of genres and styles; with many critics praising the band’s ambition, it has also made them difficult to correctly classify, though most conclude that Incubus is, at its basis, an alternative rock band. The band has used many unique instruments, including a djembe, sitar, didgeridoo, and bongos on many of their earlier tracks and during live performances, and with the use of a pipa (played by Einziger) in the song “Aqueous Transmission”. The pipa was lent to the band by guitarist Steve Vai.

Dorian Gray

A naïve young man. A lovelorn artist. A corruptible Lord. A deal with the Devil. It all paints a dark picture of a Victorian London and how the rich and infamous party at their peril. Here, the telling of time and its consequence of experience for life’s treasures’ takes its toll on the body, mind and soul. The haunting and bleak tale of power, greed, vanity and inevitable self-destruction is ever present amongst the deceit, opium dens and sin.

Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs.

Avatar the Last Airbender

A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. caught between combat and courage, Aang discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara, a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, to restore balance to their war-torn world.
