I agree with your sentiments, I just wonder if that attitude does not affect the success somehow. Not saying it has to, but it might. Spoilers below (hope white works) It would seem that a lot of argument and turmoil are because you are not happy with the current environment. More specifically you feel under appreciated or threatened because of the environment. I think that would apply to their comments, the fucking, etc. In the did truly accept the coming downturns based on their personalities, then I would postulate that they would not fight the current situation, because in fact they foresaw it and saw past it even. Then if they choose not to fight it, the situation does not become cyclical and worsen. That might be total bunk, it is just the feeling I was left with. And it might no universally apply. Another interesting counterpoint is Mary and her decision not accept the changes, and inform everyone of the procedure. It is very possible that in other cases that proved more disasterous than our main characters. Unless of course, you globalize the feelings of Joel, Clementine and Mary, and suggest that even with no prior knowledge you would be drawn to the same soul. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I guess my our starting point is the same. The question then becomes: Do you feel that apodting that attitudes makes happiness more likely? While I agree with the point that dropping the bad memories voids the point of life, I could not help but get the feelings, with the closing lines that with that 'ok' of accepting the fact that they would come, their outlook promised more success and happiness. Perhaps, that depends on the personality of the person watching? I just came away with the idea that if you are worry about it you cannot stay in that carefree moment, by definition. If you accept the flucuations in advance, the odds of them changing your happiness or outlook are much descreased. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I am bumping this, because I am interested in any further thoughts on the movie. I watched it last night, and it made me think, which I always enjoy. Initially I did not realize it was a Kaufman (nice ref. to his brother earlier ). Initially I was a bit disturbed, simply due to the emotional turmoil in the movie that can be only too real in any relationship that goes bad and feels frantic. After thinking about it for a few minutes and watching the person next to me, but never saying anything. My initial instinct went 180. The movie started to fall into place, and it meshed incredibly with a lot of themes that have been sorting out in my life in the last year. I think, I am left with the thoughts that love is about acceptance. Not desperately trying for the 'perfect' moments, but rather accepting the bad ones may come and that the fact that they do, does not change the road you chose to walk. Love and Life is a fina line...a line where prefection cannot be felt if you are trying to cling to it. Kind of like an electron, you can measure direction or velocity, but not both. The feeling of happiness comes from the magic of the ingredients reacting without supervision. An engineer buddy of mine put it like this "You are trying to run debug while you are still in the code." So at the end of Eternal Sunshine, I was left with the overwhelming feeling that seems to back up this year: Just accept life, and you will enjoy living. As I was sitting watching the rain and the nuances of the person next to me (much lighter than my thoughts) I grinned and chuckled, and realized I had nothing to worry about, rather I had plenty to enjoy. So, this was a nice feeling for me, as typically I am an overachiever that tries to engineer outcomes in life. That has all changed for me this year, and this movie was a nice reference. But my thoughts might be totally subjective. I would love to hear other thoughts on the movie. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yep, cause then 5 o clock comes really quickly :) But still after months of this....I would really like a little slow down. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well...uh....good for you. I guess in March you get your chance. Personally I am out of downtown and will never go back, such a pain in the ass, getting anything done during work hours, parking, etc, etc. And even if I did like it, 4 days a week at home....WOO HOOOO -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Rock on, man. That is the thing that so many people seem to miss. Sex in and off itself is not very sexy, in my opinion, paradoxical though that is. It is the feeling that leads up to it, and the feeling afterwards. The moments that let you 'become one' rather than fuck. Those are the moments that make you feel connected and attracted, wether it is sexual or just cuddled up watching a movie, or out chasing a sunset on the harley. It is that foundation that lets you just exchange glances and grin, because you know that at that very moment everything is in the right place. That totally extends beyond sexy, but I don't think I ever want sexy again without that feeling. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yeah, you guys have it so, so bad. What I would give for a boring day. I am never doing less than 5 things at once these days...one window on dropzone, and a dozen other's on other projects. If it is really one day a week, that rocks! I would love to get out of the office some days. Thought about going contractor, but just not worth it right now. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Dude, well put. Being truly sexy blurs a lot of lines that fall over into things that are not purely sexual. Confidence is a huge attraction, as well as knowing that her turn is turning you on. Acceptance is huge. While not necessarily sexy, the feeling that you are totally accepted and appreciated is the foundation that any earth moving emotion is built on. When that is in place, you get those moments, where a 60 second kiss light crap in the room on fire, and going to bed early vanishes, and your body seems to weld themselves together. Then afterwards you tangle up in a big knot and talk about random stuff, food, jumping, etc. That is the best feeling in the world. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yep...same thing happened at the Eagle in Dallas. Midmorning fire everyone. And now the station is "Sunny 70s" and currently ALL Christmas music. Of course personally, if I want talk, I flip to AM and go political, so it is mostly the music for me. And I find it elsewhere. But I do see what you mean. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Sometimes finding good places takes some effort. Most 'good' places don't have much of a sign. Although, I admit, in Chicago it is easy to turn around and bump into one. That is one thing I love about Texas. Although everyone thinks we are hicks, if you know where to look you can find everything from great barbecue to awesome Thai, to killer sushi, and all devoid of yuppie scum. I have eaten at a lot of places in Dallas, that did not have english on the menu. My vietnamese buddy said "If you act white, I will never bring you here again" So, maybe you just need to find the right guide to some good grub. Heck, maybe even one of the cheeseballs knows? As for the office, I feel you, sounds like office space. Best advice, memorize the movie, quote it a lot, and laugh. March 05, dang, that is some two weeks, I hope they don't get pissy and fire you before then. Editted to add: Crap, I just looked on the map. You are only 20 miles out. We drive that far to piss in Texas. Just get cruise on it for some good food. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Clear Channel is doing that everywhere, totally restructing DFW market in the last few years. Honestly, it is what all the little brats get for listening to corporate radio. Find a station like 93.3 the bone...independantally owned, and stream it. http://www.933thebone.com/ http://www.jackontheweb.com/ Both independantly owned, so listen to them and screw corp. radio. Oh, and listen to Tom Petty - The Last DJ. The current corp takeover really is sad/disgusting. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Agreed. Sashimi does not refer to salmon, rather it refers to a preparation style, you can have many varieties of sashimi -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

DUH...come on guys....where doy ou think the elasticity comes from??? It is stored in the booty, of course. When she takes another shape her arse is not longer big. Personally...I thought it was.....well...she is a cartoon...so never mind. But, they were seriously realistic cartoons. The mixture of facial expression and voice inflection, allowed Elastigirl to cast some serious innuendo

I think you are talking about New Order - Confusion? There the is a mega mix with that and 2 others, cannot name them right now, but it is on one of my drive fast CDs....about 26 minutes long. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

FYI, there will be one at the Skydive AZ holiday Boogie! Not sure if I will be there yet...developing... -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Harley=Reclining, Loud, sex on wheels :) -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yeah, that was kinda my too, as well as riding takes a different kind of music. The engine is nice...but after hours sometimes, music is an nice change. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Maybe just a big .....oopsie, did I say that out loud....nevermind -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I am dreaming of my someday metallic blue Jetta GLI, sunroof open, puffies in the sky at sunrise, headed to the dz with a hot brunette freeflier in the front seat, moving between 3rd and 4th, passing 80mph, turbo blowoff valve whistling, pumping E-Type - Final Countdown on the stereo. Screw horny, that gives me a hardon for life, carpe diem I can hear my MP3 earbuds on the harley, but it is not the same. That calls for foghat - slowride. Is it wrong if Sublime - Wrong Way does it for you? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Alpha 5 (I think) porn remix of SpeedRacer... typically thought techno/dance/trance just makes me want to get on the highway and drop gears like mad, preferably in some import. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Horny and Girlfalldown in one thread....working so far. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

NICE....I don't know that I would have ever picked Alice's Restaraunt in a million years. That is awesome...it is the fact that songs can recall entire experiences. Good call on Sade too... -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Although on the dirty side.... Liz Phair - Supernova is an all time favorite of mine. There is something about the lines...wow....just gets me. I have looked all over the place But you have got my favorite face Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass And your lips are sweet and slippery like a cherub's bare wet ass 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings afire A flying, giant friction blast You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes And everytime the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16 And you fuck like a volcano, and you're everything to me 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings afire A flying, giant friction blast You're a giant, flying friction blast 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings afire A flying, giant friction blast -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Nice....yeah I agree. Freaky can become over the top. I like slow, soft, and overwhelming. Etta James Norah Jones, particularly Turn Me On Billie Myers - Kiss the Rain Berlin - Take my Breath (yeah, sappy who cares) Nights in White Satin Jan Arden - Sleepless (damn good) Of course, I guess I am defining horny as 'intimate' But I like that feeling a lot more. Us guys can be horny anyway. The music is much more useful for amplifying a sensitive, slow, rock me all night feeling. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

They had simultaneous tours last year as well. I have not heard their album/tour theme this year, but last it was amazing. They also played some samples of some adaptation they were doing of Beethoven's 5th. Unfortunately, I just found out, no Dallas show, only San Antonio. Seriously, this is like the Blue Man group, the CD is barely a representation of what they do in person....as I told a friend last year, Imagine Christmas Music with Jesus playing lead guitar in a hair band with an army of angels carrying fenders stratocasters, lasers, and flame torches. It is that cool. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
