In the Beginning... 01:00am 03/03/2005 Hello. My partner and I have prepared a short overview regarding the purpose (used loosely) of this journal. Pay attention.



The disgustingly captivated cads controlled by the monitors in front of them, whose lives revolve around knowing something other than what they cannot ignore (pragmatism, sometimes reality), have been taking false ideas and intangible realms too seriously. Way too seriously. So what to do?



Take action. Form realizations. We are organizing and developing short biographies encompassing the plane that is the immutable online commune. More soon. Read 6 - Post Here! 12:39am 16/05/2004 So! I've been out and about. However, I have a recently updated list of essentials.

Work for you? Post # 3 11:12pm 03/04/2004 I would like to introduce myself to any and all who are following this journal. I have a particular interest in a portion of the subject matter and would like to contribute critical analysis and insight wherever needed. I would like to thank the founders for providing a forum for those of us who have strong feelings concerning these matters. Anyone with complaints should feel free to contact our customer service department. The phone number is in my pocket next to my middle finger.

-melatonin- </td> Read 3 - Post Auditory Metaphysics 12:57pm 03/03/2004 I am posting this as a general entry whereas a discussion might ensue, and to also introduce a new co-writer. We will now distinguish ourselves with signatures at the bottom of each post. Welcome.



I stepped outside not five minutes ago to smoke a cigarette. For the rest of the entry to claim validity, I need to first explain the atmosphere. It is foggy outside, visibility might be reduced to a few hundred feet. The air is extremely wet and thick, I assume the barometric pressure had dropped dramatically during the day. The rain has been consistently light through the nighttime. That done, I will now describe what made those four minutes so mystifying, and also raise a question.



I lit my cigarette on the porch, in the backyard. The state in which I live in feels it is morally sound to subject its population with looming, possibly cancerous power lines and towers. The towers reach a height of about two hundred feet, and if one should look up into the tower from directly beneath it, it would form the shape of a diamond. Six lines are attached to the very top, stretching for at least a quarter of a mile before reaching the next tower. Now, when it rains, the six lines all sizzle with auditory vivacity. It is a strangely constant, yet quirky and inconsistent sound. Yet I find it enchanting, and impossible to ignore. There was also the visual factor. The air, being very humid and wet, made the smoke from my cigarette twirl and collapse in front of the porch light. A beautiful sight. The question here is, what forces our perception of a desirable sound? I believe rarity is an important variable to consider. Thoughts?



- codeinesoil Read 1 - Post Tonality 12:56pm 03/03/2004 Our dear friend has found himself wandering the woods again. Even in a place so serene and tranquil, there is the ever-present footprint of humanity. It leads me to think that the entire world will eventually be permanently scarred by the mark of mankind.



Sound: To most, the audible world goes unnoticed. Almost all of what we hear is the familiar, which we easily disregard. The uniqueness of certain sounds, then, becomes more pronounced. The voice of a loved one, a favorite song...few can argue with the power of such sounds. These, however, are not the type of sounds we are discussing. The voice of a loved one or a song are merely markers to emotional connections or triggers for memories. They have explanations grounded in reason or history. I believe that there is something much deeper in our nature that tells us when a sound is desirable, something innate and uncontrollable. Hmm...more on this later. The point of this post was to separate sound into more specific categories. The categories themselves may or may not be explained at some point in the future.



Do any of you want to help me make sense of this?



-melatonin- Read 1 - Post About the Brain 02:08pm 02/03/2004 We'd think it absurd if our technician told us he had detected a sitcom-sensitive area in the television receiver, or that a particular module accounted for the upbeat attitudes of weather reporters, even though a misdirected screwdriver could certainly interfere with both. Yet neuroscientists have no trouble labeling a reading process in the brain. They will draw diagrams of the inside of the brain with arrows and little boxes labeled [input] [output] [phonemic processing] [memory] and even [understanding]. But they can't explain what goes on in those boxes, or the "information" assumed to pass along the routes indicated by the arrows.

Richard



Amy Post Black Box Recorder 01:03am 01/03/2004 I can enjoy myself sexually without love. And I can be physically satiated. But only with love can I be fulfilled. Post Richard 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Richard



Age: 27-28



Always one to live a somewhat obscure lifestyle, Richard isn't overly ambitious, but extremely capable. No real psychosis noted; sometimes a savant due to a skewed outlook on life. Extremely bright.





Complexes/Illnesses:



Possible Mild Depression Post Amy 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Amy



Age: 23



Incredibly subtle; If any anomalies exist they are kept well hidden. Amy is a paradigm for those who argue using frighteningly honest sub-context. Utter compassion (not naivety) could be considered her one flaw. Sometimes humanism leads to cynicism, especially when one trudges through life using such unselfish, giving procedures.





Complexes/Illnesses:



None Apparent Post Chris 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Chris.



Age: 24-28.



Chris suffers from not acting out immature amatory thoughts when he was younger. Using the word immature, we admit that one must allow for individual development. However, the fact remains. Chris loves the idea of sex. The internet is an easy place to slightly extinguish the overpowering desire for satiation with no remorse.





Complexes/Illnesses:



Complex Hedonism

Displacement/Replacement Post Sarah 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Sarah.



Age: 20-21(?)



A bizzare archetype for the psychologically contradistinctive. Beautifully strange, Sarah has a bevy of anomalies that are evident, most likely even to a stranger. Her mood is constantly changing, which is usually a sign of underlying psychological self-destruction.





Complexes/Illnesses:



Depressive Mania Post Jasmin Annabella 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Annie.



Age: 20-21.



This is a strange case. Studied for years with no real results, Annie relies heavily on what she considers permanent companionship with fellow internet-based camaraderie of her unrealistic eminence. Not a bad person, by nature. Easily influenced, however. Would be completely lost without her friends, as incredibly microcosmic as one might think friendships on the internet are.





Complexes/Illnesses:



Defect Replacement

Mild Depression Post John 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: John.



Age: 25-26.



John is somewhat of an unknown. Popular for his looks at one point in time, he developed somewhat of an elitist persona, then came to realize its futility and ineffeciency. John has an extremely deep-rooted psychosis, most likely incapable of being brought to the surface. Many people do not realize John's struggle with unabbreviated sanity. Easily influenced, harmless, and a humanist.





Complexes/Illnesses:



En Route Seratonin Departure

Probable Bi-Polar Disorder

Mild Depression Post Trish 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Trish



Age: 20-21.



Trish is living proof that the idea of displacement/replacement is not a dissolved deduction. She does not subscribe to any sort of compassionate consideration. Our patient is the product of many justified real-life acceptances and mundane internet verve. A website* was created as, again, replaced compensation to one of those ideas.

Inferiority Substitution Read 8 - Post Dani 01:00am 01/03/2004 Name: Dani.



Age: 18.



Dani has apocryphal ideas concerning her own recognition. Young, and unsure, her methods of getting attention rival only Trish's (note profiles as they are created) negative, self-indulgent modus operandi.
