Some of you may know of my old blog A Martian in London, which amongst other things, chronicled my search for a suitable female Number One to help me find my spaceship, all-female crew, and eventual rightful claim to the Galaxy.
My research involved more than a few Earth Females and for the benefit of all mankind I summed it up in a couple of politically incorrect but accurate charts (click on the image for a larger, more legible version):
Those of you that grew up in the 80s, when cell phones didn’t exist, and computers where machines used by NASA, may also have had the misfortune of attending a high-school that had a terribly high male to female ratio.
In these cases, you are no doubt familiar with Dungeons & Dragons.
For the rest of you, suffice it to say that in that realm, every adventuring party that wanted to have any chance of survival, tried to incorporate at least one Cleric. They had the power to heal wounds by magic you see.
This story however is not make believe, or part of some role-playing fantasy game. It is a true story, set in the same reality you and I share.
It happened years ago, when I was only 17 years old.
As you will know if you read this blog, I underwent surgery for a complete rupture of the Achilles Tendon in my right leg on the 24th of June 2010. Yesterday, not quite 9 weeks later, Redhead Girl invited me to go for an early dinner at a local restaurant that overlooks the Thames. We walked to the restaurant and back, a distance of about four kilometres along the river. I did so unaided by crutches.
According to the doctors on staff at St. Thomas Hospital, which I saw last Tuesday, I should still be using the air-boot cast for another 3 weeks, never mind walking around unaided. So how did I do it? Do I have a mutant healing factor?
One of the most important activities we spend much of our lives doing, worrying about, trying to get into or out of is our intimate relationships.
Understanding an overall framework of what relationships are is sadly something that most of us never even consider. We almost never actually ask ourselves the simple question of what a relationship is for to any degree of depth. We are never taught how to do it and most of us never figure it out. As a result we generally suffer far more heart-ache than necessary in our lives and for many, perhaps sadly even most people, the idyllic situation of a “perfect” relationship or at least deep inner peace with respect to the management of our (multiple?) intimate relationships never truly occurs. This post is an extremely brief introduction to the overall concept of what relationships are, and figuring out how to get into exactly the types you want to be in. Read more »
Welcome to the first of what will be an ongoing series regarding Ancient Technology. Though the topic will differ, the overall theme will be to show some little known facts concerning ancient human history.
Now take a look at the picture above and tell me… does it look like an antenna to you? No you say? Well to me neither. But that was before I found out about Dr. Konstantin Meyl and his very unorthodox, yet completely scientifically sound investigation. Read more »
Being able to say a permanent goodbye to the evil that is the 9 to 5 grind (more like the 8 to 6 and that’s without travel times) is often seen by most people as the equivalent of the prince and princess living happily ever after. In other words an unrealistic fairy-tale.
Well. Like a modern-day Brother Grimm I am here to tell you that some fairy-tales are surprisingly real.
On the 22nd of June 2010 I fully ruptured my right Achilles Tendon and had to have surgery in order to re-attach it. As a Sports Hypnotist, it would be remiss of me not to document my recovery process. As a result I have added a page specifically to document this under the Hypnosis Experiments section.
This will be a relatively detailed Recovery Diary, which will outline the steps I have taken so far and continue to document future results. If you have suffered from a similar injury and want to see what I am doing to recover faster and better than I have been told is usually possible, feel free to bookmark the page and return to it often as I will make frequent updates.
Back Home and still with all the EEG electrodes attached to me
I especially liked the bit right at the beginning when they film her entrance and you see her face, how she carries herself in a very dignified way. I have been contemplating a regular feature I want to eventually incorporate in this blog about how certain old technology was/is ahead of contemporary technology. I would say in some cases, the same could be said for older concepts of self-identity.
This is why when doctors tell me what is and is not possible for a human brain to remember, I take it all with a very large dose of skepticism.
Actually this clip is a really excellent explanation of why an unconscious, analogous processing of information is more effective than a digital, conscious one, once it has been perfected (this is one of the principles of the training behind the Russian System — That’s right, to make us into more deadly chimps!)
