Yeah, that'd be great. :)

I've played in every position on the pitch, being most successful as a centreback/sweeper, but I've also spent a couple of seasons tending the goal. When I was in the Navy, I became the keeper for our ship's team (which was really good; we won several tournaments). I performed so well that even guys who hated my guts admitted that I "wasn't bad". :proudirule:

Oooh! Looking so much forward to SCUBA diving this weekend! :-D

Isn't the water still a little cold for diving?

You can either say, that life has a fixed objective purpose, and in that case you have support those claims with decent arguments and evidence, or you can say it's a subjective thing, and everybody has to decide for himself, but in this later case you cannot subjectively judge other people's subjective goals.
How does that change the fact that it's narrowminded? :P

Ok you can submarine in I don't care. I gotta say central sweeper is really fun. I only played it one time but I liked the freedom I had to roam and tackle.

Oyh, Kristo, I've been diving in Tromsø in the middle of winter, in water as cold as 3°C.

Now it's March, I'm on the south coast and the water is a lot warmer that. :tsup:

Plus, anybody who think Norwegian waters are too cold is a big girl's blouse. ;)

Because the way I see it, your view is the narrowminded one. :P

At least I make sense. You don't. You just use it as a buzzword.
"Hey, life = watching TV."
"No, life = sex."
"No, life = internet!"
...

vs

"Life is many things"

which one is more narrow minded and has a restricted view of life?

Just got home from a 3 day long out of town job conference. Soul crushingly boring, most of the stuff, but at least we had some very good lunches. And I completed the main objective of out of town job conferences ;)

Better yet, a emulator for your phone. Better games then the most crappy ones out there...
You can either agree with me, or be wrong...

That's a very shallow and hollow answer.

Which things? What are your priorities? Are all things equally valuable? With the increasing number of things on your list, the individual value of these drops lower. Few is more, if you have a limited time to live. If you say "life is about everything", then that means "life is about nothing". Do you understand this?

I guess I'm a big girl's blouse then, whatever that means. ;) Three degrees is too flippin' cold. The last time I went swimming in a natural body of water I was off the coast of Grand Cayman. With stingrays.

Yeah, but the things is I'm wearing a dry suit. Anything less than 6°C is considered "cold", but it's really no problem as long as you're using the right gear. When the temp crawls closer to freezing, then you have a real problem - you need the Ice Diver certificate to go down in that.

It would be better if you would think before you post anything.

Another analogy: if every child is special, then none of them is really special.

I was a bit bored, so I went outside and chopped up this tree we recently cut down into firewood. Should be dry for next winter. Now.. who da man?

Was browsing around the forum and HodgePodge mention about sesquicentennial celebration of her state in the US. Then I look into wikipedia and found some interesting facts on that same date.

26th March was the birthday of my favorite artist Yui Yoshioka. She's a famous artist and many of her songs are included as opening and ending themes for a popular anime: Bleach. Of course, to people here, it means nothing big

Also, I found out that 26th March (1827) is also the death of Ludwig van Beethoven.
