Grow a Plant

My roommate and I just got a few new plants. This one's my favorite.

We named him Plantie. Let's just hope we can keep him alive. Do you have a green thumb?

Have a Lucid Dream UPDATE

In the first post, I told you that I would try to have a lucid dream this week. Here are the first results!

In my research, I read arguments both supporting and attacking the belief that dreams are related to the chemical compound DMT and a pea-sized piece of our brain called the pineal gland. The mysterious part is that many professionals are still in debate over what the glad does as well as over the purpose of DMT.

Here's where is gets intense.

The compound DMT is very meaningful, but we can't put our finger on what the meaning is. All we know for sure is that is enters the fetus at about forty-nine days after conception (this may be the spirit entering the body), we release it when we dream, and it is released in great amounts at the moment of death.

That's pretty damn wild. Huh?

Forum posters suggested that the chemicals and hormones in the meat we mass produce may block the spiritual chemical from entering our system. So I'm actually trying vegetarianism this week........


What's crazy is that after the first day of my no-meat diet, I had three vivid dreams! Although I haven't reached lucidity yet, I've gotten lots of suggestions in my inbox as to what I should try next to get there.

Do you have any advice?

Have a Lucid Dream

For the past six months, the world has been recovering from the mindf*** called Inception. If you're like me, you've been searching the web for a way to manipulate your dreams. Look no further.

I'm talking about binaural beats. This software allows the user to listen to frequencies which help transition the brain into different states of consciousness. The technology explores everything from spirituality & dreams to recreating the effects of drugs. I will be using Banzai Lab's brainwave app each night this week in my attempt to control my dreams.

I'm a little scared, but very excited to get to bed tonight.

What do you think I should dream about? (Updated here)

Don't Wear Leggings in the Winter

Okay. I just took creep to the next level, but I had to make my point.

Why do you wear leggings in the winter? I mean, I don't wear shorts. It seems to me like it'd be so damn cold! This girl isn't the first. I've seen so many girls parade around in these through the Chicago cold. Sounds like suicide to me!

Becca Prueitt, a mid-western college student who faces the cold daily responded by saying:
"oh hell no those would be cold as hell. i would never wear those during the winter"

I know a girls gotta look good, but c'mon now...ridiculous.
