Vikey and I are watching a movie about a retarded #$%^& getting kidnapped and about to be tortured. I hope she dies a horrible death.Sweeeet...
Mmm, I like alcohol. Have you ever contemplated who exactly you are? Like, how many people it took to produce you specifically? It's crazy. And then there's the issue of individuality. I'm not my dad, or my mom, I'm my own specific unique person with my own consciousness. How did I become me and not someone else? Well, that's a good question. One could say that it's tautological to say that you are you, because your specific brain generates a unique consciousness. To be you, very specific qualifications have to be fulfilled. Only
you
can exhibit your unique conscious patterns. On the other hand, from a purely philosophical perspective, one is driven to wonder why your were born into your specific circumstances. Could I have been born into a rich family, or perhaps an impoverished family in Africa? Why am I
me
Unless you're a solipsist, you must acknowledge that other people have the same quality of individualistic consciousness that you do. Why then were you born as you, and not someone else? The scientific answer is that your simply experiencing the deterministic qualities of a person born with your genes and raised in your circumstances. But that still doesn't answer the question of why I am me in particular. I am only one of six billion people on the planet, and assuming everyone is like me, it's difficult to imagine why I am me, rather than someone else from a different place or time? (And that's only counting people on Earth; when you count the septillions of people that must exist on other worlds, it's crazy).
Of course, I may simply be succumbing to the natural human instinct to presuppose the existence of a metaphyisical human essence, or soul. By presupposing an essentialist concept of "self," I can ask "What if
I
were born into a rich family?" when "I" could necessarily not exist but for my unique genes and history. Again, from a purely scientific perspective, asking why "I" am "me" is simply tautological. I could be no one but myself.
Hmm, I think the rum has hit me.

I can't even use fancy words like that when I'm sober. Which is always.
I realized Vikey tricked me "Hey wanna watch this movie with the stupidest person ever?" "Nah don't feel like getting pissed off." "Okay let's watch this instead."
It's the same #$%^ing movie. -.-

Wait, Skree gets verbose when drunk posting?Well, I had to look up the definition of verbose on Dictionary.com (though I had an idea of what it meant), but after having researched the meaning, I suppose I would have to agree, though it was not my intention to be so. I really wrote the above as a stream-of-consciousness, and not as an excercise in pedantry.

You're still using big words, which is part of my personal definition of verbose. :P

Well, he didn't accept me. So I guess.. I have 0.
It's okay, I have my wall to talk to.
If I did that, even my wall would leave me.

Also, I have opted to begin watching the remake of Battlestar Galactica on Netlflix. Wish me luck.

Why do people still use 'retarded' to describe things that are stupid? Whenever they do, all I hear is:
I'm an insensitive prick.
