The Vagina Mystery

[14:17] toran414: Vaginas are weird
[14:18] toran414: just saying
[14:18] Qu4o4r: Yeah... they seem to come in more shapes than I expect.
[14:18] Qu4o4r: They're way too complicated for me.
[14:18] toran414: it is not suprising to me, because I know how many shapes penises come in
[14:19] toran414: but they kind of creep me out a little, at least the shaved ones
[14:19] Qu4o4r: I dunno, all the penises I've ever seen adhere to a basic structure, the vagina's don't seem too.
[14:20] toran414: eh, if you include balls and penis into the equation, I have seen some strange looking ones
[14:20] Who is JeffOrdie: itt: fags talking about vagoo
[14:20] toran414: lol
[14:20] Qu4o4r: Does it change consistency based on temperature?
[14:21] Qu4o4r: Because, like my nuts kind of retreat from cold.
[14:21] toran414: That is actually a good question
[14:21] toran414: is a cold vagina smaller?
[14:21] Qu4o4r: Do the 'lips' recede... or like expand to cover it?
[14:23] Who is JeffOrdie: maybe you should be asking a girl...
[14:24] Who is JeffOrdie: this convo is a big ole sausage fest
[14:24] Qu4o4r: None of the girls on my flist are on.
[14:24] toran414: I thought that said "fist"
[14:24] toran414: lol

Palin

Well, I don't hate McCain's choice of VP like I thought I would, although she does support the teaching of creationism in school. She seems like kind of a desperate move though, after attacking Obama for lacking experience and being too young, they choose someone younger with comparable experience. McCain's campaign is obviously trying to draw in the Hillary voters by choosing a woman... even though the political views of the woman in question are the polar opposite of Hillary's. Unless Palin has a heretofore unknown gift for gab though, Biden is going to destroy her in the debate.

Wow... I've never donated to a political campaign before, but I've now donated $50 to Obama. Weird.

McCain's Prickly TIME Interview

What do you want voters to know coming out of the Republican Convention — about you, about your candidacy?
I'm prepared to be President of the United States, and I'll put my country first.

There's a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?
Read it in my books.

I've read your books.
No, I'm not going to define it.

But honor in politics?
I defined it in five books. Read my books.

[Your] campaign today is more disciplined, more traditional, more aggressive. From your point of view, why the change?
I will do as much as we possibly can do to provide as much access to the press as possible.

But beyond the press, sir, just in terms of ...
I think we're running a fine campaign, and this is where we are.

Do you miss the old way of doing it?
I don't know what you're talking about.

Really? Come on, Senator.
I'll provide as much access as possible ...

In 2000, after the primaries, you went back to South Carolina to talk about what you felt was a mistake you had made on the Confederate flag. Is there anything so far about this campaign that you wish you could take back or you might revisit when it's over?
[Does not answer.]

Do I know you? [Says with a laugh.]
[Long pause.] I'm very happy with the way our campaign has been conducted, and I am very pleased and humbled to have the nomination of the Republican Party.

You do acknowledge there was a change in the campaign, in the way you had run the campaign?
[Shakes his head.]

You don't acknowledge that? O.K., when your aides came to you and you decided, having been attacked by Barack Obama, to run some of those ads, was there a debate?
The campaign responded as planned.

Jumping around a bit: in your books, you've talked about what it was like to go through the Keating Five experience, and you've been quoted as saying it was one of the worst experiences of your life. Someone else quoted you as saying it was even worse than being a POW ...
That's another one of those statements made 17 or 18 years ago which was out of the context of the conversation I was having. Of course the worst, the toughest experience of my life was being imprisoned, so people can pluck phrases from 17 or 18 years ago ...

I wasn't suggesting it as a negative thing. I was just saying that ...
I'm just suggesting it was taken out of context. I understand how comments are taken out of context from time to time. But obviously, the toughest time of my life, physically and [in] every other way, would be the time that I almost died in prison camp. And I think most Americans understand that.

How different are you from President Bush? Are you in step with your party? Are you independent from your party?
My record shows that I have put my country first and I follow the philosophy and traditions of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Sometimes that is not in keeping with the present Administration or my colleagues, but I've always put my country first, whether it's saying I didn't support the decision to go to Lebanon or my fighting against the corruption in Washington or out-of-control pork-barrel spending, which has led to members of Congress residing in federal prison. So I've always stood up for a set of principles and a philosophy that I think have been pretty consistent over the years.

Your tougher line on Russia, which predated [the Russian invasion of Georgia], now to many looks prescient. Others say it's indicative of a belligerent approach to foreign policy that would perhaps further exacerbate the tensions being created with our allies and others around the world under the Bush Administration. How do you respond to that critique?
Well, it reminds me of some of the arguments we went through when Ronald Reagan became President of the United States. I think Russian behavior has been very clear, and I've pointed it out for quite a period of time, and the chronicle of their actions has been well known since President [Vladimir] Putin came to power, and I believe that it's very important that Russia behave in a manner befitting a very strong nation. They're not doing so at this time, so therefore I will criticize and in some cases — in the case of the aggression against Georgia — condemn them.

You were a very enthusiastic supporter of the invasion of Iraq and, in the early stages, of the Bush Administration's handling of the war. Are those judgments you'd like to revisit?
Well, my record is clear. I believe that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein. I believe it's clear that he had every intention to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction. I can only imagine what Saddam Hussein would be doing with the wealth he would acquire with oil at $110 and $120 a barrel. I was one of the first to point out the failure of strategy in Iraq under [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld. I was criticized for being disloyal to the Republicans and the President. I was the first to say I would lose a campaign rather than lose a war. I supported the surge. No observer over the last two years would say the surge hasn't succeeded. I believe we did the right thing.

A lot of people know about your service from your books, but most people don't know that you have two sons currently in the military. Can you describe what it means to have Jack and Jimmy in uniform?
We don't discuss our sons.

What happened to this guy? I know he's going senile (and I'm not kidding, he frequently has an all too familiar blank look on his face these days, the same blank look my grandfather used to have all the time before the end), but it's like he's been replaced with a badly programmed robot too.

The reporter was asking easy questions, practically begging McCain to tell us why we should vote for him... but nothing.

DNC

Watching the Democratic National Convention makes me feel all tingly. Why couldn't Kerry have give a speech like that 4 years ago?

Unfortunately I'm still afraid it's not enough to defeat the tidal wave of anti-intellectualism in this country.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that 'hope' is a four-letter word.

Facepalm

"For a million dollars," Jay Leno asked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., today, "how many houses do you have?"

"Could I just mention to you, Jay, that, at a moment of seriousness. I spent five-and-a-half years in a prison cell," McCain said. "I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair. And I didn't spend those five-and-a-half years because, not because I wanted to get a house when I got out."

Losing Faith

I'm starting to think that the whole Democracy thing was a bad idea. We gave it a good run as a nation, over 200 years... but the more I read about the upcoming election, the more it becomes clear that this country is full of morons who are actually proud of their ignorance:

Update

Slow summer, slow life for that matter. I watched So You Think You Can Dance obsessively, as always, I was hoping for Katee to win, but it's not too horrible that Joshua won. I've been watching the Olympics since then, men's gymnastics and swimming mostly.

These days it seems like I pretty much live my entire life just for Sundays. It's pretty sad that the closest I ever come to being happy is playing/running Earthdawn and/or Shadowrun one day a week.

I reactivated my WoW account a week or two ago, paid for three months and so far I've logged on all of once. At least

iceydragon is getting some use out of it, I gave him my login info so he could use my mage to run his alts through shit. Maybe I'll play a little tonight, maybe not.

I spend most of my time just feeling really tired, but not being able to sleep. I actually wish I could sleep more often, dreams are pretty much the best thing in my life. A dream I had last year remains the closest I've ever been to an actual loving relationship, and even it ended in tragedy. Yes, I know I'm pretty fucked in the head.

Tue, June 10, 2008, 2:52 pm
Sigh...

It's pretty sad that about the only thing in life I really look forward to is gaming on Sundays. I think it's the closest I come to actually being happy. So I feel pretty shitty whenever it gets canceled, which it does all too often. I know I'm not being singled out, and I know I've been responsible for canceling my fair share, but it still leaves my subconscious feeling victimized for some reason.

Birth of werecoyote.com.

Biography

My family moved to Arizona when I was just a few months old. I was born in a suburb of Los Angeles, Simi Valley, it's only claim to fame (other than spawning me) was the honor of hosting first Rodney King trial. Yes, the one that started the riots.

We moved around a little when I was young, but from February 29, 1984, when I was four years old, until April 3, 2003, I lived in the same house in Mesa, with both my parents. I only moved out because I needed to live closer to work, and along a bus route, after losing my license for a DUI (well, that and I totaled my car while I was in the process of getting the DUI).

Growing up in Mesa was... an experience. It's not Salt Lake City, but the neigborhood and schools I went to were pretty damn good replicas. Almost everyone I knew growing up was Mormon, which doesn't make things easy on a young gay man. I spent my youth surrounded by blonde-haired blue-eyed uber-studs, who, even if by some miracle were gay, would never act on it for fear of being excommunicated.

Luckily I didn't even begin to suspect about my homosexuality until junior high school, and I fought it tooth and nail. It wasn't until my sophmore year in high school that accepted I was sexually attracted to men. Of course, I didn't tell anyone; I buried the truth deep inside and tried to convince myself that I was bi. I became one of the most closeted gay men in the world. It wasn't until four years later, my freshmen year at ASU that I told someone else that I was attracted to men. It took another two years I abandoned the bi thing and finally accepted that I was 100% queer.

I didn't start coming out to people until late 2001; although everyone was suprised, no one took it badly. Even my parents are supportive, if sad over the lack of grandchildren in the future (I'm an only child). I really want kids, I think I'd make a good father, and my parents would be terrific grandparents. Unfortunately the cards just don't seem to have that in store for us.

So where am I right now? Since coming out I've had 2 real relationships. The first was turned into a dissaster when the guy decided he was straight (a pattern I hear he's since repeated with at least one other guy). The second is... in progress.

Prajapati's Instruction to Virochana Concerning the Real Self

Now we are introduced into another important aspect of this subject, namely, the stages of consciousness. You may call these the stages of the realisation of the Atman which manifests itself through the conditions known as waking, dream and deep sleep, a subject which is elaborately discussed in the Mandukya Upanishad. Here also, it is discussed in an equally important and interesting manner by means of an anecdote which is very famous in the Upanishads.

On one occasion, Prajapati made an announcement. He was in his assembly hall. He loudly proclaimed a great truth in the presence of all people. All could hear what he spoke. And what did he speak? What was the announcement he made that is mentioned here?

This was the proclamation made by Prajapati in an open assembly. "This Atman is free from every kind of evil. It is unaffected by old age or decay of any kind. It has no connection with death. It is free from mortality. Death cannot touch it. It is immortal. It is free from every kind of grief, turmoil or trouble we see in this life. It has no hunger and no thirst. These do not affect It in any manner. Its will is truthful. Its wishes are immediately materialised. All the desires arising from here are immediately fulfilled without any limit of space or time. This Atman is to be investigated into. This Atman is to be known. Whoever investigates into this Atman and knows the nature of this Atman attains all the worlds and fulfils all desires. This is the great benefit accruing to the knowers of the Atman."

Thus did Prajapati make an announcement. Loudly was it told and everyone heard what was said. Well, the meaning is very clear. It does not require much explanation. What is the content of this proclamation is well-known. It excited the curiosity of many who heard it. The gods and the demons both heard this proclamation made in that celestial assembly.

The gods hurried back to their homes and held a conference among themselves with Indra as their chief. They said: "Prajapati has told us such an interesting thing! Whoever knows the Atman has mastery over all the worlds and has the capacity to fulfil every wish or desire. We must know this Atman. Some of us should be deputed for getting training in the school of Prajapati. We must get initiated into this mystery of the Atman." The gods chose Indra, their chief, as the proper deputy and sent him to Prajapati. They said to him, "Go and have training under Prajapati and know this Atman, because he has already made an announcement, that if we know It such wonderful results would follow."

Similar was the reaction of the Asuras, the demons. They also heard this. They went back to their world and then held a conference. They said, "This Atman is a very wonderful thing and we must know this Atman." So they deputed their chief, Virochana, for the purpose. They told him, "You go to Prajapati and have training in this wisdom of the Atman, so that we too will be benefited by this knowledge as was proclaimed." This was the outcome of this announcement.

Both Indra and Virochana met each other, perhaps on the way, but one did not speak to the other about the purpose for which he was travelling. Each one was keeping the idea as a secret. Indra and Virochana are deadly enemies. They did not say anything to each other as they were very much preoccupied with the objective for which they were travelling. So, both went to Prajapati's place and approached him as humble disciples with the sacred offering of samit. And having gone there, it does not appear that they said anything. From what the Upanishad says, it appears that they stayed there for thirty-two years without saying anything, observing austerity, controlling their senses and living a very disciplined life. They lived in the abode of Prajapati, having said nothing either between themselves or to Prajapati himself.

Then after thirty-two years of this kind of living there, Prajapati seems to have observed their stay and asked them: "What is the matter with you? Why are you staying here for so many years observing self-discipline? What do you want?" Then both of them said the same thing. "We are here for some purpose." "What is that purpose?" queried Prajapati. They replied: "O Great Lord, we have heard your great proclamation. You made an announcement that the knower of the Atman fulfils all desires, has mastery over all the worlds and is unaffected by pains of any kind. In search of the knowledge of the Atman have we come here. This is the purpose of our visit and for this reason it is that we have been living here for thirty-two years observing austerity." "O, that is very good," said Prajapati. And inasmuch as they had already undergone some discipline, Prajapati did not ask them to undergo any further vow or any other formality. He immediately started giving initiation: "You want to know the Atman? Here is this knowledge." He gave a very pithy and precise instruction which could be interpreted this way or that way. It was like the statement "the Greeks the Romans shall conquer". No one knows what the exact meaning of the statement is. It may mean that Romans shall conquer the Greeks, or the Greeks shall conquer the Romans. Prajapati's instruction was enigmatic.

"That Being which you see in your eye is the Atman," said Prajapati. It was a very strange statement indeed. This was all the instruction. There was no further explanation whatsoever. He is right in what he said, but it can be very easily misconstrued. "That Purusha, the Being that you see in your eyes, that is the Atman. Are you satisfied? I have given you an initiation. This is the immortal, this is the abode of fearlessness, this is the Absolute."

Immediately the whole instruction was misconstrued by both the disciples, just as any one of us would have done. They at once came to the same conclusions regarding the reflection seen in the eye. We know what is seen in the eye. A body is reflected. What can be reflected in the eye except a body? "0, I see, this is the Atman. What is reflected in the eye is the Atman" - thus concluded both Indra and Virochana. "Then, what is reflected in water, is that the Atman?" they asked. "That which is reflected in the mirror, is that also Atman?" They were so happy that the Atman is so easy to reach. So they want to get this instruction confirmed by asking, "Which is the Atman, that seen as reflected in the water or that seen as reflected in the mirror? Is that also the Atman ? Is it true? Is it so?" They queried Prajapati, and his answer was very simple. He said, "It is seen in every kind of reflection." "Well, is it in the water?" they again asked. "Yes, in water also. It is reflected everywhere," he replied.

A very short instruction! And both were very happy. The disciples felt that they had known the Atman. Actually the teacher must have felt pity for the ignorance of these disciples who immediately misunderstood the whole teaching and thought the physical body could be the Atman, because that alone can be reflected in this manner. What else can be reflected if not an external object!

Now Prajapati said: "Please go and look at yourselves in a pan of water and see what is there; if you cannot understand anything about the Atman, then let me know." They went and saw themselves in a pan of water. Then Prajapati asked them, "What do you see?" They immediately gave the answer: "Up to the hair and the nails, everything that we are, we see exactly reflected in this water. This is what we see. We see ourselves as we are."

Then Prajapati said, "This is the Atman." Now what Prajapati said was highly significant. But the mystery behind the instruction was so deep that it was again grossly misunderstood by the disciples. Whatever we see is God; this is generally what we say. It is a true statement, no doubt. But it is also an untrue statement. The untrue aspect of it can simply take us astray. But the true aspect of it will, of course, liberate us from bondage. So is the instruction of Prajapati. "What you see in your eyes is the Atman. What you see in the reflection is the Atman. This is the Atman, this is the fearless abode, this is the Absolute." So they were told about what they saw as their reflection. Happy and composed in heart, both the students went back thinking that they have known the Atman.

When they had gone out of sight, Prajapati thought: "What a pity! These students have understood nothing from me. They have mistaken my teaching completely. They are thinking that their own body is the Atman, and if any one is to consider this body as the Atman and regard it as the ultimate Reality, and teach others a doctrine that this material body is the Atman, it will not succeed. Those who follow this doctrine are going to be defeated everywhere."

Virochana went to the demons and said: "I have received initiation. Now I know what the Atman is, by which you can control all the worlds and fulfil all your desires. This body itself, what we see here, is the Atman. This is what Prajapati told us. This body is to be adorned beautifully and taken care of well. It is to be tended well, because it is the Reality. There is nothing more real than this body. It is to be protected by any manner available. It is the knowledge of this Reality, this Atman, this physical embodiment that will help us in fulfilling all our desires. The body is an instrument for the fulfilment of desires and it is through the instrumentality of this body that you have to control all the worlds." This is the doctrine of the crass materialist and the sensualist that the demons learnt from Virochana. This became the doctrine of the Asuras.

To this day people generally say 'here is a demon' when a person has no charitable nature. He who has no faith in the super-physical realms, who never worships deities above this world, who never performs sacrifices of any kind, who is intensely selfish, self-centred and body-centred, is generally called a demon in common language. "Here is a demon," they say. This is the doctrine of the Asuras. Those people who think that the body is very valuable adorn even a corpse. They decorate it beautifully. They cover it with silk, gold, etc., and keep it as if it is very valuable, falsely thinking that it is the true self of man. People are there even now who think that the body has a tremendous value, and even after its death they cannot afford to think that its value is completely gone. This was the conclusion that Virochana arrived at and all the Asuras were taught this philosophy. This demoniacal doctrine was proclaimed as a consequence of the initiation that Virochana received from Prajapati in respect of the Atman. This is the fate of Virochana and his followers.
