TDS Social Thread vs. Badfish has stayed up too late

When was the last time I was stopped in my tracks by beauty?
-Today as the sun set. The desert sunset is a painting in the sky. Colors and patterns so rich, so vivid, so profound, I held my very breath at the sight.

When was the last time I sank deeply into the joy of being alive?
-That same moment. I felt my worries and griefs melt away. The storm in my head immediately ceased and was replaced with an amazing tranquility. It gave me goosebumps. Knowing that I was alive along with The rest of the unique beauty of the now. I knew a sight like this, a realization like this should not be taken for granted. I gave my thanks to the universe and went on my way, changed.

When was the last time I lived life purely in the moment, instead of being caught up in plans, commitments, timelines, goals and expectations?
-Absolutely everyday. It's my blessing and curse. I can find refuge in the now even though my past or future can trouble me. It's a great relief to be able to stop and smell the roses during an earthquake, symbolically of course. But it can also cause me to not realize the seriousness of a certain situation. Next thing I know I'm under a pile of rubble with a flower in hand.

When was the last time I felt completely relaxed and connected to my creativity?
-At all times. I like to stay conscious of this. For I can only give my full attention, effort and/or devotion when I am completely in tune with my imagination. To be completely relaxed and connected is to be happy and content with your creativity. Only then can you fully utilize it for what it is rather than what you want it to be.

When was the last time I felt truly at peace?
-with my last meditation. I came back to this world cleansed and healthy of spirit. I felt rejuvenation, calm and completely content with my existence.

Am I hungry for something more?
- Materially, no. I hunger for knowledge, love and kindness, spiritual evolution. All the things my mind needs to free me from the prison of the physical realm.

Do I know where I'm heading in my life and why?
- I know what direction I'm taking my life. My thoughts and feeling attest to my intentions. My intentions dictate in what matter I make my actions. Whether I step forward with my success, or am pushed back by my failure, I still face the same direction and I still prepare myself to over forward.

Would I like to find out?
-Only one second at a time ;)

So I have a "Technical" question for my dark siders- does anyone know how to sync gmail with the regular mail app the iPhone 4S comes installed with?

Whenever I try to do so it says "cannot verify, username or password is incorrect imap.google.mail" even though everything IS indeed correct.

That's a good question. I haven't used the iPhone 4S though.

I had a 4S for a while before giving it away (I hate iProducts).

Try this:

Set-up your gmail email account on iPhone as a Microsoft Exchange account type, NOT a Gmail.

Do not use a domain

When asked, after initial verify, enter the following for the server: m.google.com
 
i am pretty embarrassed of my dumb phone i got for free for having an ebt card. that is actually duct taped together now because the back piece wants to slide off. the crowning touch is the river phoenix background. still, i really do not feel a need to be on social media more than i already am. it's like a contagion, all these people staring at their phones all the time. here is a pic of my old phone which i also believe was free
phone.jpg

i was really into gluing shit onto other shit at the time
at the time i was in rehab and we had to check in phones they were always like "this must be YOUR phone" ;)

awww

This is why I'm glad I don't drive anymore though, because if I had to work, and was on my way home, and realized I had worked for that entire day if not more, just to cover the cost of a speeding ticket, I know I'd lose it.

At least you know to drive the speed limit in the future... worse things could have happened.

<3
 
^ I have been so lucky in regards to getting tickets. I still have a perfect driving record, and have never got a ticket. This isn't to say I dont speed or do things I am not supposed to, and I have been driving for 8 years!

Wow, nice job.

I probably have an outstanding parking ticket, and I got a speeding ticket at age 16.

What's funnier, my dad never got a ticket, until he was in his mid 40's. We were on a family trip; I asked (read: begged) to stop at a McDonald's, so that I could use the bathroom. Just wanted to use the bathroom.

Instead my whining sisters were like "nooo...we want to go home now"... and what do you know, we get pulled over and it takes an hour to get through the traffic stop.

If only my dad would have arbitrarily listened to me, then he'd still probably have never gotten a speeding ticket.

Must have been one dick of a cop too to give a 40+ year old man his first speeding ticket... he wasn't even doing more than 10 mph over the limit (I know because my parents are squares and never speed, never use drugs, etc. for that matter).
 
^ That sounds just like my parents.

I was with my mom one day and she was going 30 in a freaking 25. She got pulled over. The cop comes up to the window and my mom was super nice to him even though he was a jerk, and he let her off with a warning to slow down 8o

Me...on the other hand... This is my 2nd speeding ticket. 1st time was 40 in a 25 (it was a back country road with absolutely no houses around so it wasn't like I was posing a danger to anyone) and yesterday was 55 in a 35 but he only wrote me up for 10 over. It's the street my work is off of and EVERYONE speeds on there- not that it makes it right, it's just the speed limit they have needs to be updated. *Shrug*. At least it won't hurt my insurance- my parents have been with the company so long (close to 30 yrs!) and have like their house insurance, car insurance, etc through (I'm on their policy too) that company. They drop any tickets that may come on the insurance.

I feel you. When I was much younger I was incredibly reckless; and somehow made it to this point in tact.

Much <3 to everyone in TDS!
 
Fuck just when I think I have everything on track another one of my friends dies. Fucking life hey, always throwing curve balls. Luckily my philosophy has changed so instead of fucking myself up on drugs, I'm going to post a few old pics to FB and deal with it, move on. Be strong. Its the only way to get through this shit. But fuck, another friend? You can not be fucking serious life, what the fuck. Opiates :|

No more funerals. Tomorrow is a new day.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend aussie. Was it drug related or non-drug related?

Very sad to hear no matter the circumstances. Much peace and <3 to their friends and family down under. <3
 
Today is awesome. Such a beautiful day outside I went to the city center for some errands and as I went to a market to buy food, I figured I might go and ask for a new discount card because I lost my old one. It's one of those cards you use when you pay at the cashier and accumulate a miniscule percentage of bonus. Like, if you spend a total 1000 euros during a year when buying food from this particular chain they send you a 9 euro gift card in mail. The awesome part was that I got 2x 10 euro gift cards for free when I asked for a replacement card for apparently no reason (haven't really used the card at all because I misplaced it over a year ago). I don't understand why, it's some campaign I think, but it was basically free 20 euros that I spent to buy food and I'm in a rather tough financial situation right now.

It was another OD. I am currently looking at a photo of him, myself and another friend that died a few years ago. Fucking opiates, they have killed so many of my loved ones. Thanks for the thoughts CH <3
