i just had to copy this because they are such simple yet powerful ways of thinking. make fun of it, ignore it, whatever. found it while stumbling...

This is what The Dalai Lama had to say on 01/01/2004.
All it takes is a few seconds to read and think about.

Instructions for Life in the new millennium from the Dalai Lama:

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others and responsibility for all your actions.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

8. Spend some time alone every day.

9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

15. Be gentle with the earth.

16. Once a year, go some place you've never been before.

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Thank you for the info. It certainly gives everyone something to think about. Who knows, it could change someone's life.

Nobody blames you Vader. We've all enjoyed your action figures. For many of us, you are the centerpiece of our collections. But greedy Hasbro is overdoing it, and since we already have several versions of you ( a testament to your popularity, that we would buy more than one version of your figure) we would like Hasbro to forgo yet ANOTHER version in lieu of some rarer obscure figures that we've been asking for for some time.

And nobody blames you for the poor writing/acting/directing of the Prequels. When we think of DARTH VADER, we think of old school Classic Trilogy Vader, with the JEJ bass, and the Prowse swagger. Not the whiny Hayden Panati....I mean Christensen version, who we simply refer to as Anakin ( even when he was calling himself Vader in ROTS).

As for the Mod Voting. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of internal political struggle going on at vynsane.com and not to take it too personally. At least you've gotten more votes than Robin.

You rock, Vader. You are what are other iconic villains strive to be. You are the yardstick AND the ruler. Keep up the great work. Oh, and don't pander by doing anymore lightbulb commercials. That shit was beneath you.

snifff...That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me since I have arrived on this website. I should give you a big Force Hug.

Don't touch me.





And why are you PURPLE?!?!

Is Positive Boy supposed to be the opposite of Negative Boy or a clone of Richard Simmons? Or is Richard Simmons the opposite of Negative Boy ? Crap. Now I'm confused.

So, you gonna change your sig line now that EP's back in two electrical bodies?
