Been having this song play though my head all morning. To the point of interrupting the order of my asanas. It started some time last night, I could hear it all through my dreams. I know what associations my mind links to and brings up with this song. And it needs to stop.
Thank you. |

Got into a bit of discussion about the character dynamics of the Twilight series. It seems the point I am attempting to make is entirely lost on the people involved with the thread, and now it seems that for some of the people the energy in invested how Edwards actions really are not that creepy, that it's okay because he's a vampire and human laws wound not really apply, or that times have changes and laws are transitory things, etc.
And over all it seems they are entirely missing the point of what I am attempting to say. Beyond that, it's like it's purposefully being ignored or glossed over. I still have so much more to say on this topic, but since the discussion seems to be getting nowhere, I am not going to clutter my the comments page.
Which is: Why is Edward still in high school, claiming to be a high school student? And why is this okay?
My issue is not the age differences between the characters. I could not care less about the age differences. And even though I did point out the dynamics of age of consent, I honestly don’t care about those laws.
My issue is that non-youth individual invading youth space, claiming to be a youth. Why does Edward Cullen, who has theoretically learned everything they can from high school, still need to pass himselves off as a high schooler? And when one takes it into context the series my well be inspired by and exemplify many aspects of the LDS faith, particularly the concept of pre-ordained love, the only conclusion I can come to is that Edward Cullen was hanging around a high school to meet his per-destined mate.
What sort of messages is our society celebrating with the popularity of the series here?
I’m not sure if I can adequately convey the politics surrounding youth space to really explain why there is a huge difference between cross generational dating and passing oneself off as a youth for the sake of entering youth space and engage in cross generational dating. And why I feel one is perfectly acceptable and the other is not. |

So on the one hand I’ve recently meet some really neat people. Like really amazing neat people. And the timing of so much and the similarities and connection we have felt for one another has been… disturbingly serendipitous. I really want to dig around and figure out for certain the connections. I have some strong feelings about the matter and am attempting to take it all one piece at a time. I feel very strongly that there is a lot we can mutually support and assist one another with.
And I want everything to hurry up and get through what, at this point, feels like this quant but time worn initial procedural introduction process. Like we've done this before. Now can we acknowledge "it" and be done with it so we can get onto the rest of the work we need to be doing right now. Ah but procedure...
On the other, and despite all this really amazing stuff going on, there continues to be a background gloom permeating everything right now. All I can say is my heart can stop with this now. I’m done. It's accomplishing nothing and being a nuisance and distraction. And I could used it to be focused and have the energy for things that are actually within reach at this time. I would rather not have to resort to self experimentation to achieve this, thank you.
Also, my allergies have been totally kicking my ass this past week. My system is worn out, and I think I need to hole up somewhere soon. Sadly, this weekend is not the weekend to do so. And the flow of my room has been disrupted. I am annoyed, but there is little I can do. I mean is it not my house *shrug* The disruption of past few weeks has been frustrating. Again, I know I should be grateful and I am, but I will also be glad when I am in a space that I can more fully declare to some degree is mine. |

| Dilemma |

I have the capability of doing something that might possibly brighten the lives of three people I care about, but potentially complicate the lives of at least two other I know only distantly (one of whom I have meet and like). It also might potentially complicate the lives of the three people I care about as well.
It can all be done/worded in such a way as to not cause harm, but it might potentially cause disruption - unless the universe is headed in the direction already.
I would really like to do it. It would be neat to see if it can be done. And it's as simple as giving it an order to happen and I have faith it would happen. Might take some time, but it simply would.
But it would manipulate the path of some one's life have not interacted with and have very little knowledge about. But at the same time I can also see how it might actually help this person to expend out and reach even greater potential.
Dilemmas
Do I manipulate and interfere with other people's lives? Direct manipulation in lives I otherwise have direct contact with.
On the one hand, it can be argued that people do so all the time. CEOs, executives, politicians and other people of terrestrial power massively influence the live of numerous people they've never interacted with though their everyday decisions. Is doing so on the level I operate any different? Plus I've changed the lives of people I felt "deserved it"
On the other hand, I've (lovingly) chewed out people for similar. But then, did I really have grounds to? Since I am happy with the where those actions has lead me, even if the intervening time was a bit of a struggle. So really even then I have no ground to argue on.
And I realize I manipulate and change people lives all the time. And do so in ways I might not even realize. Little drops of change, day to day. Is being on a larger scale any different?
I think part of it is also a struggle of coming to terms with the acceptance of my own power, place and path, and wanting to use it responsibility.
And so I think on it. Thinking and carefully consideration is never a bad thing for me in my book. |

| Sherlock Homles... action hero? |

sttatus_quo sound this trailer for an upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie
Sherlock Holmes:Exalted anyone?
Now mind you, it does have a lot of things that make it look interesting to me. But the implication that Homles is some sort of Victorian era action hero is just... I don't know, unsettling. I hate to sound like one of those stogy "Hollywood today it terrible" types, but there is a part of me that thinks that, if the suspense/action genre has infected detective/thriller... it feels like it's gone too far.
There was a day and age when slow paced, cerebral detective or thriller films were made, where they didn't need the main character to be an action hero. And they are classics.
