HTML 5 Gaming: Old Classics and Modern Titles You Can Play for Free Today – TechSpot Guides – StumbleUpon. This is a fun list of games. I’m trying the C&C one now.
I have been sensing that often lately. It is odd that I have pursued things in my past, and when I achieve them I am not happy. It is not buying something material, but doing something as an achievement.
Perhaps its something that happens as you get older. You start to question if the things that you thought were important once, are still important. For example, I always wanted to understand something. Now that I have understood that small thing, it doesn’t feel like I imaged it would have. Sometimes I think the luckiest people are those who never achieve what they want. Then they always dream of the pleasures they will feel if they achieve it.
Maybe a wiser course of action is to listen to what my internal voice is telling me, and to act on that instead of mistakes of my past actions. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?
In Star Trek Deep Space Nine, the characters often say that they feel most comfortable with their own kind. Shapeshifters with shapeshifters, Cardassians with Cardassians, Klingons with Klingons. Apparently the future means that people identify more with their race, not less.
This never made sense to me. I never understood the thinking and belief that people of a race are the same. It has been my experience that people are individuals. I really wonder when I see things like the KKK or any group like that, if they are not guilty of what they hate in others. Racists seem to hate other groups, but it seems to me they first hate what is different. Even within their ranks, few of those groups are creative or challenge their own authority. It seems to me that racist groups, or any group that does groupthink, will eventually die from its own limited perceptions and repitore of behaviors.
Back to the point. Since I am white I have never felt more comfortable with whites than any other group. Its always seemed to me that by judging someone on external factors discredits what it means to be human. We have the ability to think, feel and challenge the evidence of our senses. By doing so we have achieved this limited level of technology. Why shouldn’t we look past the surface of things to see the deeper beauty? Isn’t it the human thing to do?
P.S. I was watching a movie 10 days after this post and it talked about “you should be with your own kind”. I wonder why I keep seeing this message in media? This isn’t the first show I have randomly chosen on Netflix that says this. Do you ever have words repeated to you from different sources?
I Am a Stumbleupon Addict | Group with Personal Stories, Forums and Chat. Apparently there is a group for everything on the Net! Wowsers! That is what Inspector Gadget says when he is impressed with something. I watched my fair share as a kid.
I was watching the episode called “Meridian” of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. It occurred to me that Jadzia Dax is immature.
Here is why I believe that. She falls in love with a guy, and decides to go live with him. It doesn’t turn out that she can stay with him, and is depressed that she has to wait 60 years to be with him. This is coming from a woman who is over 700 years old. What is 60 years to her?
However, even if she had one life, she has a great life that she loves. So why should she be depressed that she has someone who she can love in 60 years? To me, that seems like a great treasure. To know that you have someone who loves you, that you can meet again and be happy with. How lucky we are, to have those opportunities even if it isn’t on our personal timetable.
Immaturity to me is when you pout about things that don’t go your way, and you ignore all the wonderful things that are going your way. How lucky most of us are!
The 11 Greatest Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Supporting Characters – Topless Robot. This is a thoughtful list with some great clips. I am currently watching DS9 again. I didn’t like it at first, because I allowed others opinions to overshadow mine on this matter. You really have to consider the source when you evaluate information.

Discovering the World Through a Sega Saturn NetLink – StumbleUpon. So with only 50,000 sold they influenced the industry in a big way. I wonder if the first mover advantage is over-sold?
