Flower Child ☮☼♫♪

Got this guy, been friends since highschool and we've been hanging around again recently, told him to come over my house tomorrow. But even if he's probably my truest friend, I'm having a problem with him.

On certain situations he's prone to making himself look pathetic from bad taste silly jokes that's part of our usual conversation and especially on what I would say his futile eagerness like what he was doing with the girl he's courting that he would say these lame things, not being discrete with the things he gives her, tries to impress her on things he may not be good at, gets obviously unmotivated when she's not around and tries to do his plan even if that would look silly to me and probably something his mom wouldn't like either. Because of those I told him flat I would not support his efforts on that girl.

He has phoned me a lot recently for advice when he has nothing to do, sometimes even twice a day. We've had lengthy conversations at night. Sometimes it went well and others I had to cut short with an excuse cause has was asking these lame things and opening up lame topics.I had to give up.I have strongly warned him not to say these type of things to a girl over the phone as that will turn away the girl. Some girls before have either turned him down or dumped him by the way.This guy has low self-esteem. I'm also that way so I understand he too needed an escape. I just don't know how long I can keep this up being a counselor to him. He needs help. I cant do it all.

I must admit that I feel attraction to petite younger girls like those still in college. Is it OK and healthy for me, a 25 year old introvert guy who never dated anybody to be attracted to girls as young as 17? I also fantasize in my wildest dreams that I could perhaps sleep with a young college girl who is at least 18. I feel that its immoral but its something I never had. Is there any wrong in that? How do I deal with that?

As the title suggests, why is the world like that? Is there any cosmic justification to what's happening around?

Does it mean that places with better or cleaner looking streets or more advanced architecture mean that its people's culture is more sophisticated?

Can listening to particular forms of music increase or decrease intelligence?

I have read somewhere that listening to Classical music before essay type exams can help students get better grades as listening to this form of music stimulates the same part of the brain used for reasoning. Perhaps there is some link between music and intelligence.

I for example wish the simplicity of life. You work your own skill and trade, earn a bit of pay, grow your own food and be satisfied most of the time enjoying your God-given rights because there isn't as much worldly things to distract you or standards to force you to what the society expects you to be.

I'm not saying that life in the past is easy. I'm only saying, life seems less complicated back then. I want to bring that notion to the present because the world just got too complicated to me.

How about your vision of something in the past human history that you wish could be brought back now? Any thoughts? You may explain please.

So we had 2 cats, named Banny and her daughter Bonny. They got along really well. Bonny can be seen breastfeeding on Banny even at 16 months old.

Banny had 3 new kittens. Bonny also had 3 new kittens but lost them.

Bonny was sort of rejecting and possibly jealous of her new siblings who were getting their mother's attention.

But as weeks passed, Bonny can be heard calling her siblings and even breastfeeding them with her unused milk when their mother isn't around. Bonny seems to be the one in-charge to babysit the kittens when Banny isn't around. How heartwarming can that be? Even cats can bond well as a family.

Today, the family of 5 get along well.

So, do cats really have this empathy instinct?

There are images on this blog that has some awesome editing done that the skin detail just pop out. I love how awesome and how 3D-ish the pictures become.

The blog does not really mention the steps of how to do it in detail.

Is it just me or does life in those times were much less of a hassle? You know less pressure on a lot of things, making more life more simple in a number of ways.

Can you give reasons and examples to how this came to be? Maybe someone can also share their story?

So I had a friend on Facebook. I did not know that person. I was just asking where she would use a resumè picture that she posted by commenting on it and she was doing fine replying to my comments in English but it was unexpected that someone else replied to the comments in Arabic, mentioning my name. It was just replied 20 mins ago and I have little idea of what is was...and this is what was said:

"Ana mafhi maalom James Mill,min hada? Sadik enti?"

Hi, I'm a newbie to Php and MySQL.

I need a very simple comment section for our website:

All it needs to do is ask for the commenter's email and the comment itself and there would basically be a submit button that does not allow you to continue unless both the commenter's email address box and comment box have been filled up. The comments would have to be saved in a MySOL databse and the comments should appear below the comment box on the webpage.

If possible, can somebody give me the code for that as well? Thanks.

Me and a couple of mates were doing a website. It has a comment section for users and we would like to add a comment section. The question is, how do we get their comments submitted using the "Submit" button save to a database somewhere?

And the comments should also await admin approval before it can be displayed on the page.

I did this using MS Paint only. Its inspired by the psychedelic music I've been listening to.

I'm taking Information Technology in college, we're on our final year and I need a few suggestions for a good IT project.

It could we web-based-system, an E-learning system, interactive system and stuff like that. Hopefully an easy one cause we're also making a manuscript for it. Thanks.

The title says it. I mean, media all over the world are getting crazy over this Royal wedding. I have nothing against Prince William and Kate but why the very huge publicity? Many people would even stop working for one day because of this. There are other world figures that get married but they never had this publicity. Maybe its like a fairy tale wedding and the UK is one of the most powerful countries in the world. I'm not even from the UK, but media channels on my country would even televise this wedding as if this has got a lot to do with us. What makes this very very special?

Hi, I think I'm a bit of clumsy on Facebook chat. Whenever I try to chat with someone, I sometimes feel that what I reply or say is a bit misguided and sometimes people would reply to me out of mercy. I talk to a few classmates who happen to be online. I don't do so well with face to face conversation cause I'm a bit shy since I was a kid so maybe I can start conquering my insecurity by being good and interesting whilst I'm chatting on Facebook so when these people see me or talk with me in real life next week or so, they'll think of me as slightly better than what they might picture me right now as a boring guy.

There is also someone I tried to chat with the other day. I made multiple, maybe 2 or 3 hellos to get her to reply. I started asking why she wasn't in the party last week or if she's enjoying what she's doing and I said that I wasn't enjoying my holiday cause I couldn't feel Christmas was coming. I said I was sorry if I've been bothering her because I only had 3 friends online at that moment which is true anyway. Do you think I'm really boring?? How do I make an interesting conversation with people. I need to make myself appear a bit cool to them. You see, I got to be better you know so they'll start to look at me differently.

This is a Tic Tac Toe program. It just won't run on Dev C++. It would get a syntax error on the getch(); part. Can anybody tell me what's wrong??

Like what the tittle asked, maybe you can give an inspiring Bible passage????

These two are both 17 year olds, both can sing....Who do you think is better? Or are they both brats anyway?

I have seen this guy with a long hair and a long beard in a number of TMZ episodes. The guys on TMZ call him Jesus. The paparazzi even caught him on film one time when he was wearing a white robe. Who is this guy??? And do you think, he's nuts???
