Canada like snowstorm in my part of Japan today. Commuting was fun. Japanese drivers can't drive in the rain, let alone snow. First time I've been late in four years.

Got to go out and make snowmen with the kids though. It was a good morning

Now if it could fuck off and stop so FNM won't be cancelled, that would be wonderful.

At least Godzilla will be sleeping.

I somehow missed the porn.

[zemanjaski]

Leaving work early tonight to cook valentines dinner. Priorities in order.

Shrimp on the barbie?

Grilled salmon, going the extra yard.

Not too late to skip valentines day to play FNM

I wish I had something better to do than FNM lol.

Re: Superman - all of that 'he's not even human' stuff was intentional. Superman represents the marginalized of society - he's a total outcast, literally an illegal alien, and people see him as a 'freak'. But all he wants is to be accepted as a part of the world (Clark Kent). Here's a blog post about it, you have to scroll down a little to get to the actual content: http://alvarezblue.tumblr.com/post/7440 ... -on-a-farm

Yo, Z! I barely even play Magic anymore, but I want to check out your tutorials anyway. If that's cool. Because I'm not a true red bro. Even if I did get one of the first posts on the old clan thread. So, you know, I've been around and stuff.

Anything for you little lady.

*swoon*

I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to.

I just texted the girl I like that I'm still in love with her (even after telling her 2 weeks ago that I still like her). Despite all this I don't feel like it's time to ask her out because I'm still not sure how she feels about it. I only see her 1-2 times at most per week. I just don't want to be stupid again like the last time.

Don't mind me, just wanted to get that out.

Yeah James...I imagine you probably like your male bits intact and attached...

Anywayz, update on the Competitive Player Workshop

Format:
Its going to be an 8 week program that I write and monitor.

Each week there will be:
- a weekly article written by me
- links to related works (not necessarily all magic, infact, often not)
- quote for the week (i find these help to internalize lessons and focus the mind)
- video for the week (again, typically not magic related).

All the content will go up on Sunday (my time); we'll then have a Socratic discourse to explore the ideas throughout the week.

I'll be working out what each of the weeks will involve this weekend, then i'll put that up for review / input before we begin. I imagine the entire project will start in March (after the GP). If you have friends elsewhere (other sites or IRL) let them know and get them involved. I have a lot to say and I think having all of these resources put into one place that an
aspiring player can engage with, think about, come back to and ask questions about will be very valuable. Socratic discourse is an excellent teaching device and I think having to concretely explain and defend ideas can only further one's understanding of the discussed concepts.

Good vibes Christen...that 'will she text me back does she like me what is life' feeling is the worst.

[Lightning_Dolt]

They probably will...

[Lightning_Dolt]

Combo breakers!

[LP, of the Fires]

Consider me a freelance writer/source that you can use.

The socratic method thing is interesting as I've never done it, but sounds like something I'd enjoy.

[Lightning_Dolt]

@ zem: how about a weekly challenge / puzzle?

I was going to ask. I'll get at you in a week or so, I have something in mind that you'll enjoy.

[zemanjaski]

Could happen. I intend on putting everyone who signs up to work in some way, there will be home work hahaha.

So long story short, I just spent four hours running up and down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills fetching things for snobby rich people. Never has my self dignity been so low and my desire to shoot myself in the head so high.

Is that part of your job?

[zemanjaski]

Outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.

[Alex]

It terrifies me to think that James plays League of Legends.

[Christen]

She hasn't replied but I'm not too worried. The last time I worried too much, I thought myself to a downward spiral of negative thoughts it wasn't pretty. We learn our lessons. That feeling is still the worst though.

Love is a lie, et cetera.

Involuntary temp job helping some rich people. I saw over $100k in transactions in two hours while getting paid 1/1000th of that for eight hours of work.

Outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.

Zem and the Holograms.

A lady came through my line today on the phone. Heard her say "Fuck flowers. He better get me something made of precious metal." Humanity makes me want to vomit.

[Kazekirimaru]

In other news: Kaze moves into secluded cabin in the woods. Proceeds to cut off all connections with society. Develops disdain for modern society and mails homemade bombs to various people as a form of protest. Full story after the break.

Can I join?

I tried looking up Socratic discourse on Wikipedia, but I'm going to need a tl;dr...

So, give me a very short explanation on that. Thanks!

Two people ask and answer questions.

They usually lead to more questions and answers.

Welcome to the club. I've wanted to abandon this planet at least since having heard they're doing a live-action remake of Akira.

[zemanjaski]

Why is that?

I don't play much, preferred WC3 immeasurably.

[NerdBoyWonder]

Been testing and deck building for GP Phoenix. I started with B/r Devotion but pretty much going with U/w devotion. I feel so dirty.

Also known as Socratic dialogue:
http://www.circeinstitute.org/2011/03/w ... c-dialogue

1. Question what you know and understand the inadequacies in your current way of thinking.
2. Remedy your ignorance and build a more solid
foundation of understanding.

From the link:
There are "four Socratic convictions. First, truth is. Second, truth is knowable. Third, truth can be discovered. And fourth, truth is ultimately one, in the sense that all things fit together into a harmonious symphony of being."

Collet-Serra: Nobody's interesting. Tetsuo's interesting because weird shit happens to him, and Kaneda is so two-dimensional. That's part of the
Japanese culture, they never have strong characters. They're used as a way to move the other philosophy forward.

He also hopes to expand the film into a full trilogy.
