Someone once said to me that somewhere, some scholor and thelogin had deducted that god had left us the first 10 dimensions to explore, and the 11th is where he left as heaven and so on, now not getting into the technical aspects of 5 and up, It got me thinking, and it almost makes sence, except for one factor that doesn't quite line up. We have the ability to explore the first 3 dimensions as it is, length, width, and height. (X, Y, and Z). However the most popular (and least disproven) line of thought is that the 4th dimension is time. This seems to make perfect sence, as we are mostly 4 dimensional beings, slowly traversing the 4th dimension but withough controll of how we do so, we CAN slow it down by accellerating at a tremendous rate (as we approach the speed of light, time slows down) but that is the extend of our influence over the 4th dimension. we can move backward and forth at will within the first 3, but we cannot skip forward or backward in time. There for if god had allowed us the first 10, or even completly the first 4, we should be able to traverse time at will, or even assuming we learned to do so, then we would be able to go backward in time to meet Jesus, or go forward to visit the second coming (this also assumes that you are a follower of the christian faith, however, in order to beleive "God" gave us the first 10 to explore, this would have to be so). This doesn't make sence, why would god give us ten, when even giving us 4 would undermine his very prophecies. I am then led to assume that either the theory of giving us the first 10 to explore is false, or that the prophecy of his second coming is not based on time. (or for some, that the both of them are false). The only possible explanation would then be that he gave us them to "Explore" in that definition only. Meaning that we cannot traverse, but only sence, and view them. Even still, this would undermine the "faith without proof" concept meaning that we could See the second coming, or see backwards to his visit to earth, and Have the proof we need. I there for discount the theory that god gave us 10 dimensions to explore.

Civilized Debate VS. Insane Screaming.
Why do so many people have to scream like an amazonian Raised-by-animals nut everytime something doesn't go their way. I see no problem in simply and calmly debating a point our untill either one side is proven right, or even if it comes out unresolved, at least both people can come out of the argument without broking anything.
I'll be the first to admit I'm far from perfect, but some people can be so easilly upsettable and so violent it's disgusting. I can yell sometimes I admit, but it's very rare and it always involves either false accusation, or being slandered falsely, and after coming out of those arguments, I feel horrible for having raised my voice. So it makes me wonder what is wired so wrongly in these people's minds that makes them feel the need to scream and yell just because someone said chocolate instead of vanilla.
Someone might have just read that and thought "I yell sometimes but not over something as silly as a flavor", but what you need to understnad is there is almost NEVER a reason to yell and scream anymore. I mean sure people who constnatly interrupt you and raise THEIR voice to shut you out can be frustrating...what am I saying, BEYOND frustrating, but if you don't raise your voice, then you come out of the argument not only looking better (especially usefull in the event of an audience) but you can also just walk off in the middle of their sentance (pisses them off more then yelling back ever will) and if someone is yelling and screaming at YOU in an argument, don't yell back, because someone yelling at you is NOT going to be convinced.
Regardless, Civilised intelligent people simply follow a normal process. If something they don't like is happening, calmly and politely explain the situation and how it effects you to the other party, now I know there are a few situations where this would be stupid, but around the home, and in most situations, this is simply better, more intelligent, and ultimatly, leaves you looking better. Don't think it will work, here's a few tips, if the other person is yelling and screaming, you can simply stare at them with a look of disgust on your face, or if what they are saying is obviously wrong, or easy to disprove, laugh, giggle, even pretend like spittle just flew into the corner of your eye, these things will piss them off even more and perhaps they may get violent, if they do, and hit you, guess what, this isn't the end of the world, not only do you look better, but you now have a LEGAL EDGE over them, heck the worse they do, the better you can screw them over. Cold hard CASH!
So stop with all the yelling, petty bickering, and violence, it will only land you on the opposite end of a jailcell, or loose you most of your friends. Who knows, you might loose them to me, and I'm not much of a person, so take care, and use your brain.

Music alters your mind.
Weather your listning to your favorite song, standing in en elevator listning to your least favorite song, or even Writing a song. Music affects us all in discernable ways. I was just perusing my Winamp playlist when I came acrost some music files lingering on my hard drive that I hadn't listened to since I was 9. I loaded them up and experienced a few moments of pure nostalgia. The wonderfull feeling of being that young again, and remembering what it was like to have no worries beyond "what to sneak into shool tomorrow".
I write my own music under the name "DJ D-Nyed" and I'm always looking to create a new and/or interesting way to create an emotion in a listner. I've been succesfull so far in making my listners feel annoyed, or bored, but I'd much rather give them some of the feelings I have when writing music. To me my music reminds me of both a longing sensation, seeking out something that I may never have, and a sence of energy. Energy isn't always that difficult, all you need is a good beat, and something that fits well to it. But creating that sence of longing isn't always so easy.
Have you ever been just listning to the radio, or walking thru the mall, and hear a song that used to be an old favorite, and that you haven't heard in years, and for that simple fact alone it strikes an emotion into you, like memory. Here's an experiement you can try at home. Find a song that you used to love, if possible, one that you even used to obsess over. It MUST be a song that you haven't heard in a long long time, download this song and play it thru, see what it does to you. The younger you were the last time you heard it, the more profound the effect.
I'm always very interested in "How-To" create emotions thru music. I've learned all the "Classical" ways of doing so, but with the ever increasing popularity of electronic music, rap, and other contemporary forms of music, I'm constantly seeking new ways. I do prefer the instrumental over lyrical, but if anyone has any comments to aid me in my education, please feel welcome to contribute.

Mad Human Disease
People are always fighing one another, it seems that no one really cares about anything but themselves, and how they appear to others, becuase this facilitates their ability to steal energy from them. When you engage in a conversation, one of two things happens, you come out of it feeling either uplifted, or drained somehow. People never seem to realise that there are better things we could be doing. When you are intimate with someone, usually you both come out of it feeling uplifted and energised, that's an obvious one, what other things can you think of that give you a feeling of energy and motivation.
What gives us energy is usually quite different from one person to another, hence why we all like different kinds of music, different TV shows, websites, sports, you name it. And when someone who is drained, notices you with an abundance of energy, they have to beat you down, make you feel horrible, so they can feel better, in a sence, they have stolen your energy, and you feel compelled to insult them back and reclaim this energy. What we need to do is just build up new energy. Then there will be more of it out there, and people won't have such an epidemic of depression. In a sence, look at your friends, look at the people who make you happy in your life, Start careing about them, and when you have that down, try to care, even if only a little, about everyone.

A poem (my 32nd)
A world, Set apart, as in one's own mind
To see things, and want things, that you may never find
the desire, in mind, can drive you insane
so completly, and fillingly, from the all the pain.
A world, Set apart, to see things a little different
to be at war, with one's self, never quite content
the purile pain, eating away, at my soal
as if to bring my death, was the absolute goal
A world, Set apart, but always the same
never quite alone, but so far from fame
But there is a point, to this endless debate
to make someone happy, even if for you, it brings hate.

never quite alone, but so far from fame
But there is a point, to this endless debate
to make someone happy, even if for you, it brings hate.

What the internet is
A large number of people look at the internet and all they think of is Web pages and Web sites, maybe Instant messangers as well, but what few people realise is that HTML, MSN, AIM, YAHOOIM, ICQ, IRC, all these are merely one portion of what the internet itself has to offer.
Forexample, There is a slightly depreciated group of systems called FTP & TELNET (ammong others) which allow direct file exchange, as well as direct text communication, now this has been automated by instant messangers, and CGI/ASP/PHP based HTML File sharing sites, however they still exist as a simpler and more efficiant way to get that done.
The internet itself, the root component that makes it work, is a language called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). Now what this does take any information intended to leave one computer and enter another, and perform that task. TCP/IP uses IP addresses to decide where it's coming from, where it's going to, and what computers it must pas thru in order to get there. In short an IP address is just like a phone number, in order to call a phone, you must know it's phone number, in order to send information directly to a computer (using TCP/IP alone) you must know it's IP address.
Here is an example: A phone number: (905) 555-1212 An IP address: 214.226.193.121
Now the internet has been automated with services intended to make this simpler such as DNS (Domain naming system) which replaces that number, with a .com (or .ca, .org, .net, ...) and there for you only need to memorise www.yahoo.ca instead of 66.218.71.198. But as you can see, none of this has anything to do with web pages, or web sites.
The basis for the internet is not a way for people to access a web page, or run a web site, the internet is simply the tool being used, for example, the telephone system is most popularly used for people to call one another, but we also use it to connect to the internet, to send a fax, to send an SMS message from our cellphone, and many more purposes. Although the Telephone was INTENDED for voice, it is used for many things, the Internet however was simply intended as a means to get data from one point to another.
Having said this I'm not trying to point out that there is anything wrong with HTML, web pages or web sites, far from it, I love them! I run quite a few myself, but what I'm trying to say is that that's not all the internet is, for example, E-Mail is another service I haven't touched upon. Net2phone has made placing a phone call possible using your computer. Kazaa, Morpheus, Imesh, Grokster, Bearshare, EMule, ScourExchange and Napster were only the most popular of programs intended to share music.
Knowing this, it also brings a bigger question to mind, What's next?
