Rant about what you love.

YOU.

Short & sweet:
Computers, quality audio, small engine repair, gardening.
That's all I can think of for now.

When you find something that you love is quite rewarding to keep on doing it.

   Baseball: I have been playing basebal since i was 4 years old (istill do). is a kids game played by grown ups. is a physical and mental game at the same time.

   Computers: Loved them, is what gives me my pay check every month!

   And ofcourse girls! 8)

I love my job which is user experience designer and front end developer.

But on a non business level I love to hunt and fish, it's truely the only time I get to spend with my dad. Plus I love that I get no phone calls or email I just get to shut off from the world

Definitely +1 for you on that last post, Archi. I'm always interested in looking through different windows of perception - I love getting new points of view on life. Drugs have been life changing, but in a good way. They've helped me straighten my priorities out this semester, and I'm doing much better because of it. But you have to be responsible in all of your dealings with drugs.

IMO, "responsible" and "priorities" are different person to person.

It's just that drugs have really grounded my outlook on who I am - they've helped my self esteem a lot as well as giving me the ability to just be comfortable with who I am.

I'm with Killaman on this BUT I will say in fairness of sic that nobody (even the greatest minds of the greatest scientists) really knows how the brain works. It's really tough to say how things in the brain can get altered with various chemicals, even different people have different reactions to the same thing. With all the chemicals* in the environment today slowly leeching into different groups of people with continuing generations (from the father/grandfather that was a farmer that sprayed chemicals to the mother/grandmother that took prescription medication during a pregnancy). There's just sooo many chemicals going every which way in different doses, it's really tough to figure out what "normal" is anymore. Combine these chemicals with a lack of natural selection and natural genetic variance and it's no wonder different people are wired different ways. It's entirely possible a little kick from any chemical could straighten a person out a bit.

For the record though, I still don't agree with or approve mind/conscious altering chemicals except for those that need it to function somewhat normally like those with crippling/chronic pain or cancer patients. It's a crap shoot. I wouldn't want any drug use legal but if you keep it illegal, you're just supporting drug-funded crime and a lack of standards in an underground industry.

chemicals - I use this term loosely to describe anything from prescription meds (especially those that leech/concentrate into drinking water) to street drugs to additives in food.
