I love your talkings about the Science Fiction part becoming plausable real life fact. I have always been very interested in this concept and absolutly love any Sci-Fi movie that adopts this method of thought. There is a great book you should get: http://www.amazon.com/Science-Fact-Fiction-Encyclopedia/dp/0415974607. It's amazing to see how many Sci-Fi technologies have actually come real, especially from Star Trek! I strongly recommend to anyone to watch the movie in both 3D and 2D. The 3D although amazing in all aspects does slightly distract from the deep deep story of Avatar. I guess I'm not 100% atunded to 3D films yet. :-) Hey! Some people got motion sickness from DOOM! I'm allowed to get a headache and some eyestrain from 3D films! Cheers A brilliant non-biased review of possibly the best film of all time! :-)

One can only learn to cope with them at best. You need to first learn to respect and like yourself for who you are. Only recently I've learned to do so... Mass/weight, strength, disabilities, they all should not play a mental roll in the way you live your life. The physical aspects will most certainly have it's toll but being mentally fit to handle the strains and stress just makes everything so much more easier. Trust me when I say I actually know what you are going through... On a separate note, ever since meeting you, i've grown a massive respect for you and your your knowledge, intelligence and especially friendship. I regard very little people as true friends based on my hairy past but I am happy that I am in a position where I am able to offer my friendship to you and would be honored on it's acceptance...

Understand your mood the other night better now. Need to go read up some more about the wolf as well..... Do you know any good tat artists where you can sit to get it all done? Oh - you know that Odin had ravens that were sent out as info gatherers. They were 'magickal' beings with strong portents around them when seen. Anyway, gimme a shout - need to organise some time with you... maybe after I have seen my old man tonight - especially considering I will be in the area? I think Louise is gonna crash early again - she is pretty sick (cold/flu) atm - I am suspecting the possibility that she has laryngitis. Anyway, lemme know. Hey hey – just checking things out.
