Mar 3 2012: Not everything "natural" is good for you. Nature, before it became trendy, meant a lot of death. 9797
Mar 3 2012: The first purpose of music is to get people to listen. If you can't do that, nothing else you do matters. 9798
Mar 3 2012: A "Stuart Smalley" is someone who tries so hard to show how connected and functional he is that he only proves the opposite. 9799
Mar 3 2012: Good music, comedy and movies are so rare that they only seem to come from past decades. 9800

Mar 3 2012: Every song must stand alone without its parents. If you have to explain where it comes from and what it means then the song has failed. 9805
Mar 3 2012: View from the window of my health club, Oxnard CA. (My membership: $45/year) http://t.co/8A2LHxLB 9806
Mar 3 2012: Music—the sound entering your ears—has little to do with music SOCIETY—the performances, parties, problems of musicians and their fans. 9807
Mar 3 2012: Instead of "training" for something, just do it. Let the doing be the training. 9808

Mar 3 2012: @nainysahani But first I'd have to obtain a television. That would get complicated. 9816
Mar 3 2012: @nainysahani I admit it: I have a TV problem. I can't watch it. Even on my laptop. I'm ashamed. I think I need therapy. 9817

Mar 4 2012: Oxnard is a nice little coastal city with an ugly name, just far enough from L.A. to not be corrupted by it. I like to hang here! 9825
Mar 4 2012: This is how un-L.A. Oxnard is: You can park downtown or at the beach for FREE! No parking meters in town! 9826
Mar 4 2012: My residence in Oxnard is a full-size rental car, which I can park almost anywhere. Health club nearby. Nice weather year round. Why leave? 9827
Mar 4 2012: The key to protecting yourself from crime is understanding where the drug addicts hang out, since they are responsible for most of it. 9828

Mar 4 2012: @LetsGo2TheBeach Three real ones and two fake ones. 9835
Mar 4 2012: @nainysahani Being unusually kind is like telling a joke: You have to understand your audience or it may be taken the wrong way. 9836
Mar 4 2012: @xtinewu LOL! Looks like a balanced night of sin and salvation! 9837
Mar 4 2012: One secret of magic is the willingness to spend huge amounts of time and energy on something that looks simple. 9838
Mar 5 2012: The demons of addiction, lodged in your brain, twist your whole perception and worldview to support the behavior they want. 9839
Mar 5 2012: RT @LetsGo2TheBeach: @BadDalaiLama I agree. Addictions include being addicted to dysfunctional relationships, being addicted to food etc ... 9840
Mar 5 2012: An "addiction" is any sensory activity you engage in less for its own reward than for the anxiety you feel when you don't do it. 9841
Mar 5 2012: Addicts usually romanticize their drug to try to convince themselves that appeal is bringing them to it and not anxiety. 9842
Mar 5 2012: Romantic attachment is the original addiction—the reason the pathways exist. It's the only addiction you can make a rational argument for. 9843
Mar 5 2012: Romance becomes pathological when the cost exceeds the benefit to either party but you still come back for more. 9844
Mar 5 2012: Enabling the dysfunctions of your romantic partner is a benefit to neither you nor them. 9845
Mar 5 2012: @LetsGo2TheBeach Tweets must never exceed... 9846
Mar 5 2012: @LetsGo2TheBeach ...140 characters. That's cheating! 9847
Mar 5 2012: The natural hazard of love is codependency—one partner expecting the other to solve problems that are really their own. 9848
Mar 5 2012: @LetsGo2TheBeach A clear case of addiction.... to tweets over 140 characters! 9849
Mar 5 2012: @xtinewu Who is HL? In any case, you're well outside the Thirty-Mile Zone, so it doesn't count. 9850
Mar 5 2012: Most romantic relationships seem to devolve into parental ones, with one partner regressing into needy childhood as the other enables them. 9851
Mar 5 2012: Romantic love is a partnership, not a charity. You're not there to repair the other person or protect them from themselves. 9852
Mar 5 2012: The risk in being a superhero is that the people you rescue come to expect it and lose the incentive to rescue themselves. 9853
Mar 5 2012: "Enabling" is an attempt to help another person in a way that actually reinforces and perpetuates their problem. 9854
Mar 5 2012: Superman was Lois Lane's enabler. Every rescue just encouraged her to get into more trouble. 9855
Mar 5 2012: Rescuing people from sinking ships is not necessarily enabling them—unless you find them coming back for seconds. 9856
Mar 5 2012: Behind every recurring human problem, there is a dysfunctional mechanism that created it and sustains it. 9857
Mar 5 2012: People behave emotionally, not rationally. Reason doesn't usually kick in until they are hit with hard consequences. 9858
Mar 5 2012: Every kind of safety net runs the risk of enabling. People rely on the net instead of helping themselves. 9859
Mar 5 2012: Talk won't change an emotionally driven behavior. Only painful consequences have a chance of doing that. 9860
Mar 5 2012: If you give people the chance to evade their most difficult and painful responsibilities, they'll probably use it. 9861
Mar 5 2012: Unconditional love runs the same risks as Communism: Those who suffer no direct consequences are likely to make no effort. 9862
Mar 5 2012: Beyond infancy, unconditional love is a fallacy. 9863
Mar 5 2012: Part of your therapy is figuring out how you should have handled a situation you once handled poorly. 9864

Mar 5 2012: There is no well-intentioned action that can't be interpreted as a threat by someone in a paranoid frame of mind. 9866
Mar 5 2012: A great movie is one you're still thinking about days, months and years later. #theartist 9867
Mar 5 2012: It's easy to pick a fight with anyone anytime. Just take their joke as a literal statement. Start with: "I can't believe you said that!" 9868
Mar 5 2012: @TrekkieGirls oh, so you're calling ME paranoid now? I can read your innuendo! 9869
Mar 5 2012: It's getting darn purdy over Santa Monica! http://t.co/c5MMxIgl 9870
Mar 5 2012: L.A. is all about parking—how to find it, how much to pay, who gets the premium spots. Nothing else matters. 9871
Mar 5 2012: L.A. is all about obtaining validation. Parking validation. If you can't do that you're nobody. 9872
Mar 5 2012: Do you have covered parking? Valet parking? Then you must be someone really special. #LAculture 9873
Mar 5 2012: Only the "little people" use parking meters (but in L.A. all the meters take credit cards). #LAparkingculture 9874
Mar 5 2012: Some people can't exercise unless they know their EXACT HEARTRATE at all times. (@ 24 Hour Fitness w/ 5 others) [pic]: http://t.co/aeY4D927 9875
Mar 5 2012: No one has a "right" to get angry. Either you deal with frustrations in an effective way or you don't. 9876
Mar 5 2012: Anger is rarely effective in accomplishing anything except making people want to escape from you. 9877
Mar 5 2012: Anger is a natural emotion but not a noble one. You don't exercise it in public any more than the sexual function. cc: @georgiatriallaw 9878
Mar 5 2012: If anger influences your behavior in any way, you have abandoned reason and probably made a bad life choice. 9879
Mar 5 2012: The people who usually bear the brunt of anger are the loved ones who can't escape. 9880
Mar 5 2012: The only people who will respond to your anger are those who are trapped in a cage with you. 9881
Mar 5 2012: The best response you can expect for your anger is appeasement. You'll never gain loyalty or honesty with it. 9882
Mar 5 2012: A frequently angry person is someone you must escape from. If you don't, you're either trapped or codependent. 9883
Mar 5 2012: The main drudgery of Customer Service is dealing with angry people. They don't get better service and you don't go out of your way for them. 9884
Mar 5 2012: If you get angry at the airline gate agent for your plane being delayed you'll get the official company policy, not one inch more. 9885
Mar 5 2012: As soon as you get angry at someone, they go into self-protection mode and stop being open with you. You've lost a data source. 9886
Mar 5 2012: Things that are damaged during anger often cannot be repaired. 9887
Mar 5 2012: Anger is attacking a problem with an atomic bomb when a scalpel probably would have worked better. 9888
Mar 5 2012: As soon as you drop the anger bomb on someone, you've run out of ammunition. 9889
Mar 5 2012: The anger bomb is rarely dropped on the people who caused the original frustration. Collateral damage is usually high. 9890
Mar 5 2012: If you're frustrated, do something to change the situation. Anger doesn't usually do. 9891
Mar 5 2012: Anger expects someone else to fix your problems for you. 9892
Mar 5 2012: Anger is proof of your ineffectiveness. 9893
Mar 5 2012: Fallacy: You can't keep negative emotions "bottled up" inside or you'll explode. Truth: Expressing them is usually far more destructive! 9894
Mar 5 2012: You are responsible for your own anger. No one else is. 9895
Mar 5 2012: .@LayDbibo Give me an example of "appropriate" anger. 9896
Mar 5 2012: If you feel anger inside, your responsibility is to fix the problem that caused it. 9897
Mar 5 2012: Anger is an emotion not a means of resolution. 9898
Mar 5 2012: You are not responsible for what the world does to you, but you are responsible for how you respond. 9899
Mar 5 2012: "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." —Sartre 9900
Mar 5 2012: .@LayDbibo So if you have been abused, you must lash out at your abuser? Will that help? 9901
Mar 5 2012: Strange as it sounds, the only effective relief for anger is forgiveness. 9902
Mar 5 2012: No amount of revenge or expression of feelings will move you from "I'm angry" to "I'm not angry anymore." Only forgiveness can do that. 9903
Mar 5 2012: Case Study: Mom was a bitch. Left you with all sorts of scars. You can't reform her or make her accept her crimes. You forgive and move on. 9904
Mar 5 2012: Case Study 2: You are raped. You report the crime and testify at the trial. You forgive BEFORE the trial. To hold onto anger hurts only you. 9905
Mar 5 2012: To forgive someone doesn't mean you're letting them off the hook for their crimes. It only means you are releasing the animosity inside you. 9906
Mar 5 2012: If you need anger to do what is right, you have a weak moral system. 9907
Mar 5 2012: .@trevlutz Public anger by mobs of people has sparked social change, but not always in the right direction. 9908
Mar 5 2012: Angry people can't think straight, and mobs of angry people even more so. 9909
Mar 5 2012: What is the difference between "expressing your anger" and "blinded by rage"? 9910
Mar 5 2012: Angry people have the same poor judgment as drunk ones. 9911
Mar 5 2012: Don't drive drunk, but don't drive angry either, or you could be at just as much risk. 9912
Mar 5 2012: RT @nilayasabnis: "Ask yourself: if there were no praise and no blame, who would you be then?" - Quentin Crisp 9913
Mar 5 2012: .@nilayasabnis Expressing anger is not necessarily harmless and is not a necessary step in relieving it. 9914
Mar 5 2012: Acknowledging anger is an essential step in relieving it. That's different than "expressing" anger—i.e. coming unglued. cc: @nilayasabnis 9915
Mar 5 2012: "Don't trust people you meet on the internet," says your mom, but you often have far better information on them than "real life" people. 9916
Mar 6 2012: @Andreaof9 I've made a dozen journeys here, often with journalists. Never been caught! Completely overlooked by security. 9917

Mar 6 2012: You don't really understand life until you understand the mechanisms and psychology of Family Court. 9921
Mar 6 2012: Family Court in Las Vegas consists of divorce, child welfare and juvenile delinquency - all the traumas of life under one roof! 9922
Mar 6 2012: Courtroom 18, my home at Family Court. (the hard-core delinquency cases) http://t.co/Vqfh7tEI 9923
Mar 6 2012: Family Court is a fantastic laboratory for understanding how good intentions can lead to bad results. 9924
Mar 6 2012: Now playing in my head: "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John. Don't have a clue what it's about—which is what makes it great! 9925
Mar 6 2012: @iNibbana I don't need to know. A song is what you make of it. 9926

Mar 6 2012: Fell off the wagon AGAIN! McDonalds mocha frappé—caffeine! Giddy all the way to Vegas! 9929
Mar 6 2012: The advantage of being not addicted to caffeine is that when you need it, it works! 9930

Mar 6 2012: My playlist starts with Stephen Foster but doesn't really take off until I was, like, born. #songsinmyhead 9935
Mar 6 2012: Truth, for you, has nothing to do with what other people are doing. 9936
Mar 6 2012: The benefit of experience is taking less on faith, more on knowledge. 9937

Mar 6 2012: I flirted with Vegas for 10 years. Married her for 15. Now completely and utterly divorced. She hardly even crosses my mind. 9939
Mar 6 2012: "When one door closes, another opens." — a world of wisdom here. 9940
Mar 6 2012: Some of the things you fight for, in retrospect, aren't really worth it. If you can step aside, better things are waiting. 9941
Mar 6 2012: Most people would rather accept a bland future that seems secure than an exciting one that carries some risk. 9942
Mar 6 2012: Life is a combination of taking control and letting things happen. Wisdom lies in deciding which one is appropriate now. 9943
Mar 6 2012: RT @LetsGo2TheBeach: @BadDalaiLama Your brain is always on over drive! (& I like it) 9944
Mar 6 2012: @LetsGo2TheBeach The technical term is "hyperprolific". Also "peripatetic". 9945
Mar 6 2012: Your greatest superpower is the freedom to walk away. You don't need to use it, but having it amplifies all your other powers. 9946

Mar 6 2012: According to Zuckerberg, you're only supposed to friend people you know in "real life". That would have eliminated some of my best friends. 9948

Mar 6 2012: Security, carried too far, is indistinguishable from imprisonment. 9953
Mar 6 2012: Las Vegas Motif Number 2. http://t.co/qnZrk90f 9954
Mar 6 2012: Humans are horrible at risk management. They obsess over trivial threats while the big ones walk in the front door. 9955
Mar 6 2012: Paranoia begins with interpreting humor as fact and trivial actions as significant. 9956

Mar 6 2012: Hunkered down in a mountaintop bamboo forest. I had to scale cliffs and bushwhack through the jungle to get here. http://t.co/hBYFvoc0 9965
Mar 6 2012: People complain about mediocrity but they usually choose it because it is safe and known. 9966
Mar 6 2012: Paranoia assures that your personal life choices will never exceed your inner self-esteem. 9967

Mar 6 2012: I'm like a vampire. I can go into this place with so much pain and draw energy from it. #familycourt 9969
Mar 7 2012: Las Vegas Family Court is reassuring to me because it never changes. I can come back after years and know exactly what is happening. 9970
Mar 7 2012: It is amusing to revisit a community you have known in years past. Almost everyone has gained weight! 9971
Mar 7 2012: The court system attracts people who prefer stability, not crazy adventurers. The sameness here is both reassuring and frustrating. 9972
Mar 7 2012: If you want a stable, well-paying job with clear rules and not much risk, a courthouse is the place for you. 9973
Mar 7 2012: Most people prefer living inside the Matrix. They have a nice little niche here. The Red Pill doesn't tempt them. 9974
Mar 7 2012: In whatever work you do, good partners and a meaningful mission are far more important than the money you make. 9975

Mar 7 2012: Art without purpose is vanity. 9977
Mar 7 2012: So why are you here? 9978
Mar 7 2012: Hedonists insist the sole purpose of life is pleasure. Trouble is, all pleasures fade with repetition. Anhedonia sets in. 9979
Mar 7 2012: The poor hedonist spends most of his life trying desperately to regain previous pleasures. 9980
Mar 7 2012: The only sustainable meaning in life comes from a humanitarian mission. 9981
Mar 7 2012: American hedonism is based on the theory that more money and fame will buy more happiness. 9982
Mar 7 2012: Not having enough money is painful, but having money in excess of your needs does not bring you more pleasure. Sometimes it brings less! 9983
Mar 7 2012: If more money isn't the goal of life, then what is? 9984
Mar 7 2012: Turning a blank canvas into a great work of art is 10% having the skills to do it and 90% having the motivation. 9985

Mar 7 2012: RT @JennyKens: @BadDalaiLama watching someone close to you waste their life on it can make that clear as well. 10002
Mar 7 2012: Commercials sell hedonism like Satan would: "Go ahead, indulge yourself. You deserve it!" 10003
Mar 7 2012: The profit margin on hedonism is huge—much greater than practical products—so the world is overrun with messages for it. 10004
Mar 7 2012: The opposite of hedonism is "mission", where you set aside sensory gratification for a long-term goal you believe is meaningful. 10005
Mar 7 2012: The hedonist says, "There's no point in any mission. They're all lame!" 10006
Mar 7 2012: Hedonists often claim to have no goals at all. In practice, this means they are blindly following the default goals society hands them. 10007
Mar 7 2012: Many missions are delusional but not all. The more you live, the more missions you see in front of you. 10008
Mar 7 2012: If you have no mission, then your mission is to explore the world to find one. 10009
Mar 7 2012: A mission does not have to be a destination. It can simply be a direction. 10010
Mar 7 2012: One mission is to develop useful skills. You don't have to know yet what you'll use them for. 10011
Mar 7 2012: When you have experienced trauma, a mission often arises from it. You want to help others who face the same crisis. That is meaningful! 10012
Mar 7 2012: If don't care about others, no meaningful mission is possible. If you care even a little, a mission will eventually emerge. 10013
Mar 7 2012: A meaningful mission does not have to help people immediately. You can work on systems that you think will help later. 10014
Mar 7 2012: Feeding hungry people right now is not as important as reducing hunger in the future. 10015
Mar 7 2012: Just because you are acting compassionately does not mean your mission is productive. 10016
Mar 7 2012: Hollywood stars serving meals at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving: productive mission or publicity stunt? "Look how caring I am!" 10017
Mar 7 2012: A low-level mission serves an acute need. A high-level one can be quite complex and may address a now-invisible future need. 10018
Mar 7 2012: (Shifting topics. Done with "Hedonism and Mission". Onward to "Atonement".) 10019
Mar 7 2012: "Atonement" is accepting pain or discomfort to compensate for ones past sins. 10020
Mar 7 2012: Self-flagellating monks are atoning for their sins. They assume God will look down, see their suffering and elevate them accordingly. 10021
Mar 7 2012: I have often thought of becoming a self-flagellating monk, but I don't think I could take the pain. 10022
Mar 7 2012: Self-flagellation would be a lot easier if I could hire someone to self-flagellate for me. 10023
Mar 7 2012: If you know you have wronged someone, you may want to "make up for it" by doing something nice for them. That's atonement. 10024
Mar 7 2012: There are only two highways in America with 80 mph speed limits: I-10 in West Texas and here. http://t.co/e3uEnXyJ 10025
Mar 7 2012: "Punishment" is when compensation for your sins is imposed from the outside. "Atonement" is when you impose it on yourself. 10026
Mar 7 2012: Atonement requires acknowledgement of your own guilt—which is good—but its motives are not altruistic. You want to relieve your own pain. 10027
Mar 7 2012: Atonement isn't entirely honest. It's your own guilt you are trying to address, not necessarily the needs of your victim. 10028
Mar 7 2012: An example of atonement gone awry is showering your victim with expensive gifts that don't really help him or reverse the damage. 10029
Mar 7 2012: @MsKittyKatBlk A bit of an overshare. 10030
Mar 7 2012: Atonement requires that you "do" something, even if there is nothing you can or should do. Some actions only make things worse. 10031
Mar 7 2012: Some apologies only make things worse. 10032
Mar 7 2012: An apology is a form of atonement. You're trying to relieve your guilt and relieve tensions with the other person. But it isn't always wise. 10033
Mar 7 2012: Case Study: You caused an accident. Someone was killed. Should you ring the family's doorbell and apologize? It may not always be best. 10034

Mar 8 2012: The easiest way to quit a bad habit is to remove yourself from the environment where it takes place. 10048
Mar 8 2012: If you want to quit TV, get rid of the set. To cut down on junk food, make sure it never enters your house. 10049
Mar 8 2012: People say they want to quit bad habit X, but they refuse to give up Y which is reinforcing X so the quitting never lasts long. 10050

Mar 8 2012: "High maintenance" is a sort of vampire personality who will suck all life from you if you give them the chance. 10057

Mar 8 2012: Sometimes the best apology is no apology. 10060
Mar 8 2012: Apologies are not magical. They cannot heal deep wounds. Sometimes they just reopen them. 10061
Mar 8 2012: Forcing someone to apologize is absurd. If an apology is coerced it is not authentically felt. 10062
Mar 8 2012: If you hold a gun to someone's head and say "Apologize now!" they will do it! But they won't feel it and the receiver won't believe it. 10063
Mar 8 2012: Remember when your mom said, "Now apologize to your brother!" looming over you with threat of punishment. We're you ever really repentant? 10064

Mar 8 2012: It's okay to feel guilty when you've hurt someone. Compensation may be appropriate. But atonement is different and not always good. 10067
Mar 8 2012: "Atonement" is different from "responsibility". You are responsible for the effects of your actions. You don't need to atone for them. 10068
Mar 8 2012: Only a vengeful God would demand pain for every pain inflicted. A smart one would say, "It's okay, I forgive you, BUT DON'T DO IT AGAIN." 10069
