    Quick quiz on your ecological effect.

    Based on my 2008: 7.17 earths. Footprint = 278.11 The 40,000 miles of driving I've done in the last few years and being a carnivore didn't help out too much, I don't think, nor did the big house I live in with my father. :D I do, however, feel that this quiz is too extreme in some cases.

    Say Your Ultimate Favourite Genre

    Any kind of electronic dance music. Techno, trance, electro, house, progressive. A 4/4 drum kick seems to go well with the sound and energy of a train.

    not sure

    protip: go with someone who is experienced. that's more important than anything else in the world, in my eyes. if you can't go with someone experienced, then at least hang out with people who are experienced. also, read everything but make your own conclusions from it. don't take any one thing...

    I need some suggestions...

    I usually just tell myself that "There's always something better around the corner..." Like veggieguy said: meet new people. Soon enough, you'll meet someone else and forget all about whoever is plaguing your mind now.

    When will it end?!

    It's not too bad out here. This site is pretty good for telling you how the temperature is. THE FUCKING WEATHER "Huntington Beach, CA 77°?! ITS FUCKING NICE"

    2009 Jamboree StP Fest III - Slab City, CA; Oct 8th-11th 2009

    I'll certainly be there, and will almost certainly be driving down from the High Desert, which is about 20 miles north of Colton. So if anyone wants to get off a train in Colton, I could probably give a ride or two, or at least arrange a ride, as I think a few friends of mine are going to be...

    Soundtrack to travel.

    While on my Portland trip, these songs stood out in my head: deadmau5 - I Remember Katie Costello - City Lights M83 - We Own The Sky (it felt really good leaning out of a boxcar and thinking about this song) Johnny Cash - I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow (Apparat Remix) DeVotchKa - A New...

    bringing a computer

    The iPod Touch is a good bet, too, if you don't want to pay for a phone service. Apple - iPod touch - Features You could use Skype on it, but it doesn't have a microphone so you couldn't talk to anyone, though I've heard there are ways to put a mic in.

    Oh God, that'd be hilarious. I can imagine sitting at Roseville or something with a bunch of kids holding out iPhones.

    Which path?

    My best friend just graduated from an expensive private university. He's tens of thousands of dollars in debt and has absolutely no idea what he wants to do with his life. Go figure. From personal experience, I'd say stay away from college for a while. I went to community college for a few...

    bringing a computer

    I've thought about bringing a laptop. I'd say bring a macbook air or something, but way too much $$$. Still, when I had my PowerBook G4, I'd take it with me everywhere. It was dropped, knocked off tables, stepped on, set out in the sun, ran for hours in the most extreme heat/cold, etc. Such a...

    There are patches that you can stick to your body/clothing. I used some a while ago and they seemed to work...forgot the brand, but similar to this: Mosquito Repellant Patch

    - abortion -

    I agree. My sister had a kid a while ago and now it's just chaos on the whole family. My mom more or less raises the kid, my parents are both taking on more work to pay for all the expenses, etc. All of this, it seems, is gonna be a hectic environment for my nephew to be growing up in. I feel...

    tired, frustrated, im really just rambling mumble jumble

    It's natural, I think, to want to fit in. I've seen it in every social clique. The unique people always seem to be the ones who set out alone because of their own, personal desires. Humans are curious animals.

    Fuck the Police

    I have a strong feeling that that was most, if not all, of the reason I've gotten off. It sucks and I feel bad about it. I think most of my friends who have gotten fucked with by cops are better people than I am.

    Fuck the Police

    I can't say I've had problems with the police. And I've done things that should warrant something. I've been caught drinking underage, caught running stop signs, caught with a bag full of used spray paint. Every time, I've just been somewhat respectful towards the cop and they seem to get hard...

    If the need is great??

    Fear is a visceral motive for doing something. Everyone is scared of something. But I think the thought of being without all of the material things in most people's lives is enough to motivate people to do things. On the same page as Ravie's last post, I think that people are afraid of a life...

    naming a store?

    I wasn't sure who the target consumer base was, but I know (out here in Southern California, at least; especially in colleges) clothes are powerful mediums of social trends. There's a lot of people who eat up anything that has to do with organic or green. Those names you came up with are...

    "Raver" pets hahahaha! It's strange and interesting stuff. I don't know if I'd eat anything that glows, though.

    naming a store?

    Well I think there are important aspects you should hit on. The traveling aspect, as you said, is good. I think "Nomadic Day-core" is cool, but I think it's better to have a shorter name. If you wanted to follow current social trends, you could emphasize the "green" aspect to it. That seems to...

    If the need is great??

    Yeah, no doubt there are a lot of rent free people out there. But to a lot of people, at least a lot of people I know, you have to pay something to live somewhere.
  36. connerR

    If the need is great??

    Motivation and necessity are analogues I think. Most of the people I know do things because they have to, ie get a job to pay the rent, put food on the table, etc.

    Umm So what do ya do when you dont drink anymore??

    I used to drink a lot, but I can't give up drinking. I'll have a little bit here and there, just enough to feel a little better but not enough to get belligerent. Good luck

    Multi-use items

    My friend has a knife with a hollowed out handle, kind of like this: http://scorpionsurvival.com/store/images/guardian/TSK.jpg The handle has needles, string, matches, fishing hooks, band-aids, etc. He likes it a lot.

    Car Livin'

    The few times I've slept in cars, it's been in the middle of nowhere, so I've never had any problems. I have a problem sleeping in cars though: I'm 6'2'' so it's hard for me to get comfortable. But besides that, it's nice to just wake up, twist the key, and go. I've had some decent luck as far...

    I saw the headline in the paper today about this. It's got me a little bit worried. San Bernardino County (Southern California) is mostly Hispanic, and it's got a lot of transit. Hopefully this virus dies out soon.

    Children and computer literacy(rant)

    It seems to me, like most people said already (easier to be lazy now, etc), that technology is negating people's basic/life skills. In many way's, it seems as though we're synthesizing lives for ourselves. Primal and visceral urges are changing from survival to lethargic self adoration and...

    Salvation Mountain

    This place is pretty close to where I'm at right now. I was supposed to go out there with some friends a while back but it never worked out. I think I'll head out there on my own sometime soon, though.
