Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMan dies in 11-storey fall Tragic ending to birthday party
A CARLETON University engineering student participating in a spitting contest with friends plunged 11 floors off a downtown high-rise to his death late Saturday night …
…took a running start to try to spit further than his two friends when he unintentionally vaulted himself over the balcony railing.
Note: An engerineering student
“Two ladies came in and started screaming for me to call 911,” said Armstrong, adding a group of about eight of Jinah’s emotional friends rushed to his side.
I hope the friends used the stairs! Otherwise I could hear the ladies now, “That one was first. Then these came in rapid succession.”
“He was one of the smartest, most polite guys I ever met in my life,” …
Excuse me! He jumped off a balcony…
“… He had a maturity beyond his age.”
…in a spitting contest.
Armstrong said Jinah always made a point to stop and chat on his way into the building …
Perhaps he should have stopped before making his way out of the building.
His roommate, Eric Hwang, was too distraught to comment on what happened.
Sure. He’s probably thinking “I can’t afford this place on my own.”
ok. That poor commentary is going to come back to me karmically somehow I’m sure.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeLooks like Kurzweil’s future could be coming to life. This would be a good time to read Diaspora by Greg Egan
“The Singularity” is a phrase borrowed from the astrophysics of black holes. The phrase has varied meanings; as used by Vernor Vinge and Raymond Kurzweil, it refers to the idea that accelerating technology will lead to superhuman machine intelligence that will soon exceed human intelligence, probably by the year 2030.

Now, without slipping too much further into poor taste, read the words closely then stare at the picture and ask yourself “just where is she getting away to? why does she have to ‘come to expedia’? what’s the smirk about? why did they crop her right hand out of the picture? And can’t she do this from home?”
In all fairness to Expedia, clicking on the ad will take you to their marketing page.
Sex – What should the kids do? February 24, 2004 9:58 am
Posted by 8658987189 in : Daily LifeI believe sex is a good thing but when thinking about your daughter being used, hurt or taken advantage of, you start to question your own views. I would certainly not want to deny anyone such a pleasurable activity and do not want to give it mysticism by making it taboo. I hope that I can instill a sense of dignity and self-worth in my children that they do not use sex as an escape and wait until they truly feel love before giving up their bodies.
Welcome to the G-Spot
I love sex. I love talking about it, thinking about it, arguing about it, doing it and sometimes even watching it. But because I don’t have a penis, I’m supposed to keep these thoughts to myself. Guys overly concerned with sex are “players” while girls are called sluts…
I entered high school as a wholesome princess. I was class vice president…
…when I was 16, I lost my virginity…
…I wasn’t supposed to have sex! Well, it just kind of happened. … And so began my journey toward becoming a “slut.”
I managed to do a 180 on my good-girl status. As the slogan goes, “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” …
…trying to use sex to find love. … I never did.
…Who knew that it is entirely different when you are actually in love with the person?…
I am self-assured in my sexuality. I have sex, and I like it. I don’t think porn is always bad, I know the meaning behind Britney’s song “Touch of My Hand,” and I’ve been to the “sex shop.” I carry a condom in my wallet and have more beside my bed. I’m not ashamed to admit that I have a sex drive. …

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI work very hard to — no that’s not true — I want to provide my family a good life with good health but when I try to give my wife good health she fights it. She won’t go to doctors and she won’t go to the dentist. It’s comparable to trying to get a child to eat beats.
We cancelled her appointment. It will now be 6 months or more before she can get in again.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe baby is awake. I really had hoped to get more done before she arose.
I must retrain myself to start waking earlier again.
