You looked around. “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” “Yup,” I replied. “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?” “That’s what I like to see,” I said. You looked at me with fascination. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Oh,” you said. “Neither,” I said. “Ah,” you said. “All religions are right in their own way,” I said. You followed along as we strode through the void. “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “So what’s the point, then?” “Not so!” I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. “Oh lots. “Wait, what?” “Sure. “Just me?

elephant journal: Yoga, Sustainability, Politics, Spirituality. Does She Love You? by Pasha Malla Have a question? Need some advice? Ignored by everyone else? Question: How do I know if a girl loves me or not? Answer: If one night you go out drinking and end up back at her place, pass out together on the bed with your shoes on, and wake up a few hours later only to discover that you’ve peed the bed, which she takes in stride, changes the sheets, and then the next morning has a laugh about it, later leaves some pamphlets from the local health clinic about child bedwetters in your mailbox, and eventually after a few weeks tells your friends but never, ever tells hers: She loves you. If she knows what song is coming next on the mix CD you made her: She loves you. If she hides your shoes when you’re late for work, and from a supine position on the couch plays “Hot/Cold,” and, finally, after 15 minutes of you ignoring her screaming, “Boiling! If she calls you at work that day to ask, “How are those shoes working out?” If you’re Gael García Bernal: She loves you.

Can i play my ps3 through my computer Two ways you can do this. #1, the best way, is for your pc monitor to be HDCP-compliant. This is the encryption code used by HDTV, and the ps3 uses it for all HDMI output. You can't output vga from the ps3, or input component to a monitor, so it's gotta be HDMI. Most monitors don't have HDMI-input, but a lot of them have DVI input. You can convert HDMI to DVI with a simple, $5 cable because they are both digital signals. Check your monitors specs and if it is HDCP-compliant, and has dvi or hdmi input, you can use your ps3 on it. #2) a video capture card. NOTE: You can't convert HDMI to vga, because one is digital and the other is analog.

Avia Venefica: Behind the Signs at Whats-Your-Sign.com Avia Venefica contends the universe and all its contents is a sacred energy that uses organic symbolism as a platform for expression. She actively pursues deeper meaning in life events (individually and collectively) and employs an archetypal, gestalt use of symbolic interpretation to gain insight into these life events. This pursuit has lead her to study literature (i.e.: Jung, Campbell) and philosophies of varying cultures (i.e.: Native American, Celtic) with a goal to understand symbolic meanings using naturalistic (pre-industrial) perspectives. "The Divine is always communicating with us. Its language is symbolic." Avia proposes, that by learning various cultural and archetypal meanings of symbols, we can utilize those meanings for guidance in solving real-life problems. Avia has an undergraduate degree in anthropology and has been an understudy in several tribal and spiritual organizations. A Message From Avia Hi Everybody! UPDATE! I totally dig symbolism because it's everywhere.
