Been trying to make moves on this beautiful redheaded bartender down the street from my place. Seems like it's been going well but recently found out she has a boyfriend. She never made it known, got her number and all. Confusing signals, not 100% sure how to proceed from here out.

Do it anyway.

To play the devils advocate regarding your idea of 'strata thought', if you start from the position of the Sophalist, who believes only his mind exists, these things which cannot be conjured up by your own mind must point to another being rather than disproving it.

You've either just rephrased my point, or  I don't understand what you're getting at here. The pointing to another being is the collapse of the solipsistic position. I'm no expert on philosophy, but I wouldn't consider Descartes to be working within the same frame as the solipsist, even if there are parallels in some of their conclusions. Descartes was working on the basis that there is a truth to an external reality, and how exactly one would go about proving it. The solipsist jumps on that train of thought and slams the brakes on.

Yes, your right. It has been a while since I studied philosophy, confused between solipsism and Descarts.

I always thought philosophy was weird. At what point does a thought become a philosophy and not some rambling of a loon.

I try to not be a total shitbag, most of the time at least.  Knowingly bangin a chick who is in a relationship wouldn't be the worst thing I've ever done but as I get older these kinds of things seem like more of a hassle than they're worth. Maybe.

Just because there is a goalie doesn't mean you can't score.

A friend of mine posted a picture of a tarantula he encountered in Costa Rica. That led me on an hour long read into tarantulas. What I learned: they're scarier than they are dangerous. I need to be more worried about banana spiders.

I always feared trapdoor spiders. Imagine walking barefoot in the woods and encountering one of those

Dwelling on grown up things as much as I do is unhealthy.

Why do stupid certifications have to cost so much? Just finished dropping close to $500 on 3 of them for work. They won't affect the way I do things, I just need the credentials.

He should be popping out any time now. How's yours doing?

bought a windshield off eBay from someone I have used before. Sent me the wrong item and expects me to pick up the return shipping? WTF!!!! I could understand paying if I didn't want the item, but I didn't fuck the transaction up.

How about now?

Mine is good, slowly starting to do more than just eat, sleep and shit.
