The hobbies forum........
what a silly question luckily, the time smoking pot was a hobby is over for me I still do it, just not as regularly as I used to Pope's current hobbies: - college life: this is more than getting drunk and laid, I tend to engage myself in the faculty stuff each year again, though I'm starting to lose interest in that since now the younger generation is slowly taking over - scouting: leading the eldest of the bunch, the 14-16-year-olds, I love those kids and they love me - skiing: the ultimate rush in my life - music: sadly I've never played any instrument (I keep telling myself one day I'll do so though), but music is the only thing in the world that can wake me up, so I respect that - as everyone else I suppose, friends: somehow the number of friends I have has exponentially increased the last few years, so I spend quite some time on keeping those relations intact - watching National Geographic: it has become the only tv-channel I still watch, I love science and all that, as long as I don't have to study it - Buddhism: I love spirituality, and Buddhism is remarkably close to my views of the world

Philosophy 101
Space is space. Therefore it is something.

^By that definition, nothing would be something, since we can imagine it. Can we?

Philosophy 101
Something that's been bugging me the last few days: What is nothing? Does it even exist? Something that exists is, per definition, something, right? So claiming that nothing exists would be a contradiction. But then again, discussing the concept of nothing makes it something, otherwise you wouldn't be able to discuss it. Therefore, nothing would exist in our minds only. What I'm trying to get to is: IF nothing does not and can not exist, has there always been something? If so, there would never have been a beginning of time. An absolute beginning of everything is what comes right after nothing. If there has never been nothing, there can be no beginning. It's so hard trying to rationalize something that falls beyond the realm of reason.

What Music Are You Currently Listening To?
I'm proud to be one of those lucky people that will never feel ashamed of their first ever cd. In my case, that was The Prodigy's Music For The Jilted Generation. Released in 1995, at 11 years old (it's as old now as I was when I bought it) it still kicks some serious ass. Sadly it has quite a few scratches on it, but since I mostly listen to music on my pc nowadays, yay for mp3's. Just thinking of it again makes me nostalgic. Listening to it right now... No Good

Warcraft Universe
WarCraft's lore was cool up until WoW. Then everything was forced just for WoW's gameplay. I mean, spacecruisers? Blood elf paladins?

ABC Miniseries: The Lost
"- Season three will have a vastly different feeling, but at the same time reembrace the roots of the series." what are the roots then? "- They have 4 to 5 seasons planned out, and they knew the beginning and ending from the start. Going beyond 5 seasons would be stretching it, they said." perfect, I can't handle more than 5 "- On the season two DVD, you can expect one feature which has all of Sawyer's famous lines!" nifty

What's your dream car?
Seriously, I don't need no Ferraris, Maseratis or Porsches. In the "affordable" category, the Audi A3 Sportback totally does it for me. It'd have to be black though.

summer
July is camping month. It started with a 4-day festival (Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode, Tiga, Soulwax Nite Versions w00t), now I'm off for 3 days with some friends, and then it's 10 days camping with scouts (I'm starting to miss those little brats after 3 months of studying). After that, there's a 10-day city festival in Ghent, the biggest of Europe actually. August starts off with yet another festival (Radiohead, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, The Knife... w00t w00t). Then a month of working till half September, and then it's two weeks of doing absolutely nothing before university (and Lost w00t) starts again.

GameBanshee
It seems to work okay now. I've been having some troubles getting access to it lately. I'm planning a rerun through BG and gathering some item and NPC info, and Gamebanshee is the very best place for that.

Hitman: Blood Money
I want to play this game. Alas, I still have exams and thus spend 15 hours a day on studying, leaving no time for anything else. Going to sleep now. Exhausted.
