I never made any "error" because I never said anything, really. I just said there are possibilities and I wasn't willing to go into detail with people who have their minds made up already - it is pointless.

Why I attract idiots that enjoy trying to pick on me I'm yet to find out.
Or even why people make up things I "supposedly" said that I never did.

But symbol, you know that is a lie. I made a mistake with you - expressed myself the wrong way, I admitted it, apologysed, but you insist on disrespecting me. That says more about you than anything else. It makes me think that you cannot stand to be critized, fair enough, but quit trying to portray me as this psycho crazy bitch. It's very silly to watch you wanna associate yourself with whatever idiot is talking about me. If you really have that much of a problem with me, you'll look more dignified by just simply ignoring me completely.

Who hasn't been drunk and stupid? At least I can admit my mistakes. You should try it, it feels good.

Well, now I gotta go for sushi and I'm late.

I have a similar theory to this. I don't believe in souls, so I can't believe in ghosts technically... but theories of alternate dimensions open up entire realms of possibilities.

Either that, or we've both just read Slaughterhouse Five too much...

I'd like to mention this one thing from my mushroomery..

life is merely sensory perception. the physic multiverse with all its layered, simultaneous dimensions, does not exist the way you see it, or hear it, or smell it, or taste it, or feel it. These sensations are your mind's eye's interpetation of reality, translated into a language of senses you have grown accustomed and familiar with...

that being said, the real question is not if you believe in ghosts one way or the other, but what kinds of things could possibly explain such a common and mutual perception/hallucination?

I don't even know what that is.

There is a quote from my fav writer that'll be a nice romantic ending:

Do not worry about understanding things. Living surpasses any understanding.

Considering the way ghost sightings have changed depending upon the popular culture at the time I would say a little fear and a lot of imagination.

Watch out for those sea monsters! (knox, they are also "not real").

knox · 10.14.2010, 09:27 PM

Knox, look!
Knox, this!
Knox, here!
Do this, do that!
Knox said this, said that!
Knox, I wasn't aware you had a vagina.

It's a Kurt Vonnegut novel. It's basic premise deals with your time theories. I suggest you check it out, if you get the chance - it's a classic.

That's kind of what I wonder if that's what a ghost might be. Or sideways through time to another dimension.

knox · 10.15.2010, 06:47 AM

a barking dog has left.

yeah, that's an interesting possibility.

Toilet & Bowels · 10.15.2010, 07:02 AM

the other thing i find interesting about ghosts is that even though people no longer claim to see sea monsters, or dragons, or werewolves, or dog heads, etc. there hasn't been a comparable decline in ghost sightings

Apparently enough was not said.

i find it hard to believe that any grown adult of sound mind would be unable in any situation to realise they had dozed off and were dreaming. And I don't see how falling asleep at the wheel in any way contradicts that.

If there were people around and no one mentioned the "ghost" it was probably a part of your 10 year old imagination. Notice how two people can NEVER confirm the same sighting.
