I suppose it's the thoughts of Gregory. When he established the Gregorian calendar, he aligned Christian holidays with notable pagan festivals (such as All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day). For instance, Valentines day was set to be on the same date (physically, not observed) as Lupercalia, a love and fertility festival with purification in pre-Roman years. This purification ceremony is what set the date for valentine's day. As for the symbolism, we have to look more at what happened on that day.

The two overlap one another in Genesis 10:9 (Baul -> "The Great Hunter"). The concept of exchanging hearts was pulled from Babylonian texts meaning "Bal", which looks close to a heart. As for the exchanging of messages, I'd assume it was to illustrate how the Italians passed messages to explain that Baul was in the vicinity before he was killed for violating the laws. Christians came to honor the soul of the sinner, thus granted him the title of Valentine.

Valentine's Day is one such example of Roman Mythology that screens itself over the martyr of Valentine of Terni and Valentine of Rome, where the Romans specified what is now Febuary 14th's evening to honor Lupercus's (also known as Faunus, Pan, and Baul; the warder of wolfs, and god that looked to Fauna) mother's, Semiramis, purification from her son's violation of law.

The confusing part of this story is that Baul was killed for crimes he committed, but why he was killed or how he was killed is enigmatic at best. Even better, during Constantine I's rule, Baul was granted the honor of the title Valentine, yet Baul is almost always depicted as the standard form of Satan.


An interesting tidbit about February is that the month name came from the word febru, were thongs from the skins of sacrificial animals used when purifying Semiramis.

I see. So Baul's death caused the confusion. Nobody knows the real truth behind it, but most people generally assume that Baul sacrificed himself to support the concept of love. Valentine's day was made to honor his act, but the reason/truth behind his sacrifice is left to open debate. Interesting. ^_^

Always. Random things is how conversations are able to move, which personifies transitions by way of general knowledge. It's really quite interesting to watch the reactions created by these forces. In fact, watching the reactions is how people learn how to read one another and establish friendships.

So, in short, yes, because it teaches me about people.

Vision of Escaflowne was a lot more constructed in the anime, but it was kinda bland, especially since Hitomi gained the power of dousing and absolute tarot readings. They also formed a love triangle between Allen, Vahn, and Hitomi, which slowly becomes annoying near the middle.

Still the anime is unique for a "girl thrown into a different world and gained powers" scenario.

A Perfect Life


He had a picture perfect life. He was married, he had children, he had a lovely family in a nice house. There was a white picket fence. There was a dog. There was everything he needed and desired. Every day was perfect for him. He got a raise the day he asked for it at work, he got a promotion too.

But there was something very wrong. He couldn't shake the feeling his life was too perfect. He woke up every day and looked at his beautiful wife. She seemed to get more beautiful everyday. Maybe she did. He walked downstairs and ate breakfast with his children. They were the sort of children he always wanted, the kind of children that never caused trouble. His boy was the star of his baseball team, his girl got perfect grades in school and played the piano with skill and grace.

He soon became sure that something was very very wrong with his life. He went to bed that night feeling uncertain. When he woke up he looked at his wife. Somehow she didn't look as pretty as he remembered. Her hair had darkened, her eyes were a dark blue instead of that piercing blue he loved so much. Her skin was worn and wrinkled. He gasped in surprise.

"Is something wrong dear?" She asked. Her voice was raspy. Her expression wasn't curious or worried, but....it was angry.

He shook his head and stumbled down stairs. His eyes widened when he saw his children. Their clothes were ragged and stained, their faces grey and shrunken.

"Hi Daddy!" they cried out. He said nothing. He wanted to vomit. He stumbled out the door and gasped in horror at what he saw. Everything was dead. The grass was dead. The homes had the paint peeling off the walls. There were no cars except his own. There was nothing.

He got in his car and drove to the place where he worked. He felt, for whatever reason, that he had to "play along" and that maybe if he pretended everything was normal that life would return to the way it was. Maybe it was a dream.

He entered his office building. It was tattered, lit by dim lightbulbs hanging off of the moldy series. His coworkers were hideous. Not even human. Their eyes were now a menacing red, staring at him with big fake smiles that revealed rows of fangs. He sat down at his desk and began typing away at a computer that didn't work. His boss came in. He didn't want to look.

"Very good work you've been doing lately" The boss' voice became a growl, something inhuman and dark. He couldn't speak. He managed to stammer out an answer.

"why th-th-thank you, sir..." he stammered. Shit. He knew he wasn't acting the same. The Boss put a hand on his shoulder. His touch was cold as ice.

"Are you alright?" The Boss asked. Again, his voice wasn't worried. His voice was angry, menacing, overflowing with ill intent.

"No, I'm not!" He smacked his Boss' hand away and ran for the door. Two of his coworkers blocked it. This had to be a dream. It couldn't be real. They tackled him to the floor and one of them pulled a syringe out of his pocket. Their faces were a pale blue, their skin pulled tight against their skulls like rubber.

"Why!? Why?! What is this world?!" He screamed.

His Boss stood over him as the others pinned him down.

"You're the only one left. You're the only one left alive. We need you to feed. To survive. We can't let you die, we can't let you run." The Boss seemed almost sad at this point. "Don't worry about it. Everything will be as happy as can be."

The needle plunged into his arm and everything faded to black.

He woke up the next morning next to his wife. She was so beautiful. Her long blonde hair always shimmered against the sunlight. "Honey, weren't you going to donate blood today?" She asked him, staring into his eyes. She was so gorgeous.

"I get the feeling I've done that already..." He said.

"No, I don't think you have" She said quite seriously. He trusted his wife, of course. He walked down the stairs to be greeted by his beautiful children. His son had just won MVP for his little league! How wonderful his life was. He drove down to the hospital to donate blood before heading to work. He couldn't help but smile at how grateful the doctor was for his donation.

Maybe he'll ask for another raise.

But anyway, apparently the cartilage had been slowly torn over the years as a result of many sporting and strenuous activities. So it just, got to the point where it couldn't on any longer and "snap! tear! grind!" All I did was sit down in my chair but apparently that was enough to finally tear it up.

Also the grating noise it made when the doctor was moving it...............it sounded so, chilling and evil. Thank goodness for morphine :heh:

He had a picture perfect life. He was married, he had children, he had a lovely family in a nice house. There was a white picket fence. There was a dog. There was everything he needed and desired. Every day was perfect for him. He got a raise the day he asked for it at work, he got a promotion too.

But there was something very wrong. He couldn't shake the feeling his life was too perfect. He woke up every day and looked at his beautiful wife. She seemed to get more beautiful everyday. Maybe she did. He walked downstairs and ate breakfast with his children. They were the sort of children he always wanted, the kind of children that never caused trouble. His boy was the star of his baseball team, his girl got perfect grades in school and played the piano with skill and grace.

He soon became sure that something was very very wrong with his life. He went to bed that night feeling uncertain. When he woke up he looked at his wife. Somehow she didn't look as pretty as he remembered. Her hair had darkened, her eyes were a dark blue instead of that piercing blue he loved so much. Her skin was worn and wrinkled. He gasped in surprise.

"Is something wrong dear?" She asked. Her voice was raspy. Her expression wasn't curious or worried, but....it was angry.

He shook his head and stumbled down stairs. His eyes widened when he saw his children. Their clothes were ragged and stained, their faces grey and shrunken.

"Hi Daddy!" they cried out. He said nothing. He wanted to vomit. He stumbled out the door and gasped in horror at what he saw. Everything was dead. The grass was dead. The homes had the paint peeling off the walls. There were no cars except his own. There was nothing.

He got in his car and drove to the place where he worked. He felt, for whatever reason, that he had to "play along" and that maybe if he pretended everything was normal that life would return to the way it was. Maybe it was a dream.

He entered his office building. It was tattered, lit by dim lightbulbs hanging off of the moldy series. His coworkers were hideous. Not even human. Their eyes were now a menacing red, staring at him with big fake smiles that revealed rows of fangs. He sat down at his desk and began typing away at a computer that didn't work. His boss came in. He didn't want to look.

"Very good work you've been doing lately" The boss' voice became a growl, something inhuman and dark. He couldn't speak. He managed to stammer out an answer.

"why th-th-thank you, sir..." he stammered. Shit. He knew he wasn't acting the same. The Boss put a hand on his shoulder. His touch was cold as ice.

"Are you alright?" The Boss asked. Again, his voice wasn't worried. His voice was angry, menacing, overflowing with ill intent.

"No, I'm not!" He smacked his Boss' hand away and ran for the door. Two of his coworkers blocked it. This had to be a dream. It couldn't be real. They tackled him to the floor and one of them pulled a syringe out of his pocket. Their faces were a pale blue, their skin pulled tight against their skulls like rubber.

"Why!? Why?! What is this world?!" He screamed.

His Boss stood over him as the others pinned him down.

"You're the only one left. You're the only one left alive. We need you to feed. To survive. We can't let you die, we can't let you run." The Boss seemed almost sad at this point. "Don't worry about it. Everything will be as happy as can be."

The needle plunged into his arm and everything faded to black.

He woke up the next morning next to his wife. She was so beautiful. Her long blonde hair always shimmered against the sunlight. "Honey, weren't you going to donate blood today?" She asked him, staring into his eyes. She was so gorgeous.

"I get the feeling I've done that already..." He said.

"No, I don't think you have" She said quite seriously. He trusted his wife, of course. He walked down the stairs to be greeted by his beautiful children. His son had just won MVP for his little league! How wonderful his life was. He drove down to the hospital to donate blood before heading to work. He couldn't help but smile at how grateful the doctor was for his donation.

Maybe he'll ask for another raise.



Taken from a teamliquid.net blog. I thought it has great potential, and as a very short story, is it so very tantalising.

It's a great show for anyone, but artists, musicians, and anyone else with a strong love of their hobbies will be especially weak to its charms. =)

As for Railgun, I got to like episode sixteen, and then kind of just stopped watching it. Every episode I watched, I kept on thinking "this show's gonna get better for sure!" but it never really picked up for me. I'm sure I'll finish it some time, because it is pretty good, but it's on the back burner for me as of right now. I'd definitely recommend watching Sora first, in any case.

Edit: Also, lately whenever I lock my computer, random programs will stop responding and shut themselves down when I unlock the computer again. They're all programs that reside on the little dock thing on the start bar and just sort of chill out in the background usually, like MSN messenger, Steam, and Window's automatic update thingermajigger. Any idea why? It's kind of weird...

"Synthasasic?" Are you making up words at me?!
I liked all the characters, but didn't really love any of them. The art and music were good, as were basically all other facets of the show. It's just that nothing really stood out in it for me; it felt kind of hollow, like the people making the show were making it just because it was their job, and didn't really love their product. Dunno, just couldn't get into it.

Two things. Either your logon/logoff settings are wrong (you tell your system to shut down these things on logoff.) or you're running too many programs/background processes at the same time. (This leads to a "traffic jam" inside your computer, which can cause erratic program behaviour.) Other than that, it might a registry issue or a memory problem, something which you shouldn't be tweaking around with unless you know what you're doing.

The one they use in those serious business moments that give you a sense of urgency and anticipation, then often proceed to cut the episode right then and there. Why they would leave out such an important song?

There's the tricky part about this new wave of bots. They really do act like normal users. It's hard to identify and segregate them from new members. Most times, they have sentence fragments in their signatures. Othertimes, they pull posts from other users on the same forum. Even odder, they pull direct quotes from other forums or websites.

I have to admit, whoever wrote the rumer script to do this paid quite a bit of attention to the humanistic side of it's agent.

the bot doesn't know it's a bot or what

thus how can it answer truthfully that it is or is not a bot when it lacks certain information about who and what a bot is?

He did spam advertisements in his sig. I'm keeping him around for the time being just to see he'll do.

Sometimes googling their posts reveals that they are bots. Other times it looks like they're doing it manually, but it's nothing we can't catch within their first 3 posts. Now if only there are people in society who have the right and power to crack down on shameless advertisements. :rolleyes:

I don't like looking like pretentious d-bag and I seem to think that most styles of sunglasses for guys out there make some guys look like that XD

Well, I'm getting my routine eye check-up sometime soon so I guess I'll consult with them about frame styles...but then, asking "What frame style would make me look less like a d-bag?" will be pretty hard to resist XD

It's snowing outside, and I woke up early, at 6am, only for my mom to tell me that I may not be able to go because the NJ buses are not running. So I helped shovel the snow and myself to Swiss Miss. =D

However, I am still waiting for an e-mail from my instructors if I will be marked excused...if not, by 9am, I have to go. DX

haha what a coincidence

1. 4chan isn't a reliable source, which is where the most recent AIM hacking story came from. The real story is that AOL's doing work on their authentication server, which will obviously have some effect on users. In addition AOL has the worst data recovery process in the history of humanity when it makes backups, thus I can easily believe that accounts are reinstated incorrectly.
2. My account is still there, I can use a webclient to log in with the same password, but I can't use any desktop client.


It's basically a client-server issue. Pidgin is vibrating between my computer and Oscar, which rapid data exchange is a very bad thing for any login client.

I had the anime sideburns that some characters (like Narumi from Spiral) have. You know, know the ones that grown on the side of your face, but the ones that grown DOWN the side of your face.

Yeah, they were really long. But I got fed up with them, since they always get in the way of my glasses. So, with my new electric razor...I shaved them off. Now I wanna shave off the rest of my hair...
