“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*

zentaoistchristian:
Only when wisdom, courage, timing, and perseverance are combined can one have a sound basis for initiative. The action must be complete. It must burn clean; it cannot leave any bad ramifications or lingering traces. An act that leaves destruction, resentment, or untidiness in its wake it a poor one. Then initiative is insufficient, and Tao has not been attained - Deng...

“You cannot really be too concerned with what people think of you. You’re on your own adventure of growth and discovery. So it’s not always good to be who people think you are, especially if you subscribe to it as well … which is easily done, because then you don’t have to figure out who you are, you just ask somebody else.”

NASA Says Nope to Space Scorpions →
“NASA has refuted recent reports of life on Venus. Reports from January 20-22, 2012 suggested that an unmanned Russian space probe retrieved photographic evidence of life on Venus in the form of a “disk,” a “black flap” and a “scorpion.” However, according to a January 23, 2012 report by SPACE.com , there is a far more ordinary explanation for the “disk” than a...

Signs of Chakra Imbalance
lucifelle:
In reference to a block in a chakra, there is something that is getting in the way of the free flow of energy through that vortex. It’s sort of like having an artery that is clogged with plaque, only instead of a physical block, this is a metaphysical block that is composed of stagnant emotional energy. In terms of cleansing a chakra, it’s sort of like angioplasty: we clear...
