Imagine you are that attractive, with that lifestyle, and that's the expression on your face. People's brains are so full of fuck. They focus and obsess about all the wrong things. People that narrowly escape death ( I am one of them) talk about how everything is so much more intense for a while. A summer breeze, a bird singing, a sun rise, all seem brand new and wonderful. But it fades. You have to endeavor every day, to remember what that was like, and do your best to stop and smell those roses.

On Elon: He isn't in my monkeysphere, and typing this is more time than I like to waste on absolute strangers. :D

Just skimmed the article and yes I agree.

It's not a surprised he lawyered her up with ADR. You get into business, you'll eventually make contact with lawyers. In addition, being good at business usually does involve having the mindset of stomping on others to pursue your own goals.



I do see Elon has a type of sorts.

He apparently likes his girls "intelligent".(Each one got brains either actively or latently.)

When my friend was near the end of his life, all he wanted to do was see the trees, the birds, the sky and clouds. That was what he cared about. To see the wonder of the universe one last time before the eternal void. Primal needs I think.

May be. I know I was appalled I didn't focus on things like that all the time. I resolved to do better going forward. E.G. I am hanging out here, while watching the birds and squirrels on the feeders under the Big Oak in the backyard. The bluejays hit the birdbath heavy in this heat. They are kind of hilarious to watch.

Anyways, thanks for posting that. Much more interesting than celebrity gossip. :beercheers:

No offense intended Igor. Or is that EYE gore? :D

Elon co-founded paypal?!

mind blown :eek:

didnt read the rest of the article.
the 20 year old chick he left his wife + 5kids for was cute
No, he didn't. He had a company called X.com, which was a service similar to Paypal. Paypal was the market leader in that segment and purchased his company and ended up making him CEO. Ultimately, he was fired from the CEO job the same year, lol. Big surprise, right?

Sometimes lying in bed at night my thoughts wander (as thoughts tend to do) and I re-visit times in my life I most likely should have been killed.

There were so many I literally have trouble understanding how I wasn't smashed to pieces doing something crazy/stupid, shot, stabbed or otherwise maimed many years ago. (I certainly deserved to be!)

Having said that the older I get the more I COMPLETELY understand doing risky stuff for fun. Neil Young was right it really IS better to burn out than to "fade away" in a hospital bed or old-age home.

I can answer that. Everything in the universe is connected. You are a critical part of some chain of future events depending on your existence. You also have your life extended through charitable acts. Universe tends to favor beings who support other life as opposed to dipshits out to harm life. So rest assured, there is SOMETHING that you are doing right :)

I've been told that before .... here's hoping I won't get around to "fulfilling my destiny" for awhile yet!

Not sure if sarcastic?
Nah. I was impressed that he gave his credit card to her and said, buy as many books as you want. Knowing what I know about women, there is no way I would hand over my credit card to a woman, even if she is born right before my eyes and gets to be 18 years old in 4 hours with accelerated growth serum. He genuinely must have loved her at that point.

There's nothing romantic or caring about giving a woman your credit card and telling her she can buy bunch of books, LOL.
Caring and romantic would be paying attention to what she says and gifting her a book you know she wanted. I think maybe you know less about women than you think you do.
