2010.12.21 07:00 - Eclipses and your path on youTube

The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways. Shamefully, most of the chat is also by Riddle.

There is a part, at the end, where Bert and I race through dialog.  Then stop. Then slow. I hope you can read it that way too.

Freud Jungsten: osiyo
Riddle Sideways: Good Morning, Freud
Freud Jungsten: Heya....
Freud Jungsten: Big crowd today it look slike.
Riddle Sideways: usually starts slow
Riddle Sideways: many times nobody here until 15 after
Riddle Sideways: then again, seems to be no usual pattern

There was a "sit here" problem everywhere today.  Not sure what it was with others, but my little elephant would not sit on the tinies here nor the pool edge.  Freud sat perfectly on the fountain ice.  Bert had trouble too.

Riddle Sideways: Hi Bert
Bertram Jacobus: hi riddle and freud
Freud Jungsten: osiyo
Bertram Jacobus: i seem not to be able to sit where you sit ... too silly may be ...
Bertram Jacobus: oops - now ! it was lag ...
Riddle Sideways: sorry, sitting is a little tough today
Bertram Jacobus: np for me :-)
Riddle Sideways: is the water warm enough for everybody
Bertram Jacobus: i think so - only wondering whythere is no steam to beseen ... :-)
Bertram Jacobus: hi brian
Riddle Sideways: let's see. To have steam the air would have to be colder then the water
Bertram Jacobus: hey yaku ! :-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning everyone
Bertram Jacobus: yes. it´s snowing riddle ! ;-)
Riddle Sideways: Hi Brianand Yaku
Brian Roop: hello all

Brian Roop: just got over a bad computer virus, glad to be back in world
Bertram Jacobus: wow - congrats brian
Riddle Sideways: yes, having a cold/sick is hard
Riddle Sideways: when computer is sick is bad
Riddle Sideways: Hi Satia
Riddle Sideways: lots of antlers today
Bertram Jacobus: yes. hi sweetheart
Satia Ruby: hello, there :D
Satia Ruby: i´m afk
Riddle Sideways: you can sit wherever you like, I just had a small problem
Brian Roop: what's all this stuff floating around?
Riddle Sideways: the Tinies did not fix
Bertram Jacobus: snow i guess. sometimes it rezzez only slowly, needs a while
Brian Roop: what i see is big squares
Brian Roop: very distracting
Bertram Jacobus: yes. that is not yet rezzed snow
Riddle Sideways: big snow drops
Brian Roop: well it should stay in the clouds until it rezzes
Brian Roop: hmmmmmph!
Brian Roop: bah humbug
Bertram Jacobus: it comes in abit ... hm - strange portions so to say *g*
Brian Roop: in the spirit of the season
Riddle Sideways: maybe the cloud holds too much and has to dump
Bertram Jacobus: hehe. many people like the winter elements very much
Brian Roop: just kidding
Bertram Jacobus: like many little cloud - snow - farts - scusi :o)
Riddle Sideways: and that may be the most profound I can be, until this coffee cuts in
Brian Roop: is the pool warm
Brian Roop: ?
              --BELL--
Bertram Jacobus: i think yes. but no steam. may be sl isn´t perfect ? ;-)
Riddle Sideways: not sure. I can't feel anything
Riddle Sideways: a radio was telling me Europe has lots of snow today
Riddle Sideways: the airports can't shovel fast enough
Riddle Sideways: oops, did not hear the bell
Bertram Jacobus: yes. many airports are again and again closed. only few flights . also the trains have problems. even gasoline becomes few here and there because also many streets are closed for hours ...
Yakuzza Lethecus: i leave for a few minutes
Brian Roop: sounds like over here last year
Riddle Sideways: Hi Obsererm
observerm Resident: hello
Bertram Jacobus: hi observerm :-)
observerm Resident: hi Riddle, Bertram

Bertram Jacobus: i like the snow ... i like wheather in general ! ... :-)
Riddle Sideways: there that is a place
Bertram Jacobus: so many places ... to sit ...
Brian Roop: what's the secret of sitting in the pool?
Brian Roop: or at the edge?
Bertram Jacobus: don´t know : when i arrived riddle and freuf already sat there ...
Riddle Sideways: Yak, left us a big hug
Riddle Sideways: :)
Bertram Jacobus: freud*
Riddle Sideways: when it won't let you sit someplace
Riddle Sideways: stand on the spot and click on yourself
Riddle Sideways: right click and "sit down"
Riddle Sideways: takes many tries
Riddle Sideways: but, it wrecks reality concepts if part of body is through what looks like a solid
Riddle Sideways: hmmmm, rather then reform our sence of Reality, we would rather just move over a bit :)
Brian Roop: oh well
Bertram Jacobus: yes. but with the phoenix viewer it´s much easier : it has a function "ground sit" - very precise, where even you are
Brian Roop: yes, i tried that first and wound up with my legs through the stone
Riddle Sideways: how does it feel to have legs throught the stone?

Brian Roop: anyone see the eclipse last night?
Riddle Sideways: oooooooooo, yes watched most all of it
Brian Roop: lucky you, i slept through it
Riddle Sideways: very soft golden color
Riddle Sideways: the last sliver of white light seemed like it took forever to go
Riddle Sideways: there were some soft clouds that darkened the other stars many times
Riddle Sideways: and put auras around weird colored moon
Brian Roop: eclipse at the solstice, what does that portend
Riddle Sideways: great and bad things
Brian Roop: no middle ground, eh?
Riddle Sideways: or we are more aligned then usual
Riddle Sideways: at the end of a wobble cycle. At the start of a wobble
Riddle Sideways: who knows
Brian Roop: good thing we did not have northeast winds here on atlantic coast, would have had bad flooding for sure
Riddle Sideways: Mr. Science does
              --BELL--
Brian Roop: The Shadow knows
Brian Roop: well gang i need to get about some rl stuff, good to be back inworld
Riddle Sideways: on this west coast and on a band practice night it was early enough to watch
Riddle Sideways: bye Brian
Riddle Sideways: there was a question of the distance to the moon
Riddle Sideways: some were saying it looked closer
Riddle Sideways: bigger
Riddle Sideways: luckily I had my trusty mobile wikipedia
Bertram Jacobus: ;-)
Riddle Sideways: unluckily, my eyes had been use to the very dark
Bertram Jacobus: ;-)
Riddle Sideways: "Blinded by the light..."
Bertram Jacobus: song from ... ? who did it ? :-)
Riddle Sideways: Manfred Mann and Bruce 'the Boss'
Riddle Sideways: not sure who wrote it
Bertram Jacobus: manfred man and the earth band ? lol
Riddle Sideways: Yep
Riddle Sideways: had to get my trusty googie browser search going
Bertram Jacobus: special live version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcWVL4B-4pI
  ok look at that link.  (Forgive  keyboard player for messing up chop-sticks solo)
   and maybe look at the Bruce Springsteen's (who actually wrote it) lyrics.
      http://www.brucespringsteen.net/songs/BlindedByTheLight.html
   then maybesee the Manfred Mann lyrics
      http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/blow/blindedbythelight.htm
   Definitely read Wikipedia's little discription of the difference.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinded_by_the_Light
   Some people (on misheardlyrics) think
        • "Dressed up like a dude, another roller in the night."
        • "Wrapped up like a douche, I knew their owner every night."
        • "Racked up like a douche, another lover in the night."
        • "Wake up like a douche, or a rubber in the night."
        • "Torn up like a douche, another stoner in the night."
        • "Wrap up the old deuce, a Nutter Butter in the night."
        • "Wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night."
 

   The important point is...
                Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
                            But mama, that's where the fun is

   During my research for the above, I hit
             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMGatR8SNns&feature=related
   Whether you have run sprints or marathons or just run until you flew as no earthbound human can fly.
       There is another point.
          The chours ends with  "... Pass on the Flame"

Riddle Sideways: thanks. but, I can not watch youTubes today
Bertram Jacobus: why is that ?
Riddle Sideways: I seem to have a disease
Riddle Sideways: can not remove eyes from youTube
Riddle Sideways: no will power
Riddle Sideways: must click on stupid cat tricks videos
Bertram Jacobus: ah i see
Bertram Jacobus: but may be that is no disease !
Bertram Jacobus: may be that is a cosmic gift !
      Does Bert have something here ??????
Riddle Sideways: hmmmmmm
Riddle Sideways: how so?
Bertram Jacobus: why not ?
Riddle Sideways: ok ! :)
Bertram Jacobus: :-)
Bertram Jacobus: fly like an eagle ... *lalala* ... :-)

Riddle Sideways: like the great cosmic messages that you get when you use to skip through the radio channels
Bertram Jacobus: sure
Riddle Sideways: sentences made from sound fragments
Bertram Jacobus: yes. we all know that
Riddle Sideways: then we got TV remotes
Riddle Sideways: and channel surfed
Riddle Sideways: to get cosmic messages
Bertram Jacobus: all very common, yes
Riddle Sideways: do you think youTube can be like that
                  --BELL--
Bertram Jacobus: sure. sry for repeating. why not ? :-))
Bertram Jacobus: tiny ganesh ...
Riddle Sideways: ah, but we are presented with a little bit of choice (free will?)
Riddle Sideways: given 3-25 choices of clicks
Bertram Jacobus: for me that are two things : free and will. will i assume as conditioned, freedom, i hope, exists
Riddle Sideways: when we click choice x we get 20 more choices
Bertram Jacobus: but i´m not sure about it
Riddle Sideways: finally after 10+ picks we arrive at our true nature
Bertram Jacobus: that may be the unbounded nature of reality
Bertram Jacobus: the unborn yes
Bertram Jacobus: hopefully, at least
Riddle Sideways: what does that say about my true nature, when it always ends in stupid cat videos
Bertram Jacobus: nothing ?
Riddle Sideways: oh
Bertram Jacobus: no thing ?
Riddle Sideways: thought maybe there was something there :(
Bertram Jacobus: that is not sad !
Bertram Jacobus: that is wonder ful
Riddle Sideways: yes
Bertram Jacobus: would be free ing
Bertram Jacobus: paly as being ! :-)
Riddle Sideways: yes
Bertram Jacobus: play*
Bertram Jacobus: that´s nice
Bertram Jacobus: play and rest
Bertram Jacobus: action and pauses

Riddle Sideways: the other part is that youTube's algorithm to give related vids might be faulty
Riddle Sideways: click and watch
Bertram Jacobus: might be. yes
Bertram Jacobus: but - who cares ?
Riddle Sideways: well, was the nearest to profound that could get today
Bertram Jacobus: when your heart is open and wide ...

Riddle Sideways: anyway, back to that song
Riddle Sideways: do you actually understand the lyrics
Bertram Jacobus: i had another one now in ma mind : love is in the air (sry)
Bertram Jacobus: no. sry. i´m german :o)
Riddle Sideways: and possibly whatever it might be saying or about?
Bertram Jacobus: no idea - hope that disappoints you too much (?)
Bertram Jacobus: + doesn´t
Bertram Jacobus: - s
Riddle Sideways: all the words are english, but the phrases are not connected
Riddle Sideways: no disappointment
Bertram Jacobus: phew. happy to read that
Riddle Sideways: quite the opposite
Bertram Jacobus: wow. so cool
Riddle Sideways: have never found anybody that knows what it means
Bertram Jacobus: makes me even more happy
Bertram Jacobus: blinded by the light ?

Riddle Sideways: having written that here, however
Riddle Sideways: will mean somebody in PaB readership
Riddle Sideways: will comment below and tell us all

Bertram Jacobus: i thought you already knew (?)
Bertram Jacobus: and you´re only jokin, no ? :-)
Riddle Sideways: no I do not know
Bertram Jacobus: hm - okay - knowing ... *g*

Riddle Sideways: have sang all the words and played all the tune for years
Riddle Sideways: and still do not know the sang

Bertram Jacobus: hm . that seems to be endless

Bertram Jacobus: hm. so many possible associations !
Bertram Jacobus: incredible !
Bertram Jacobus: string band !
Bertram Jacobus: oh my
Riddle Sideways: [the editor has lots of speeling corrections to do]
Bertram Jacobus: nice little ganesh ...
Bertram Jacobus: let ma faults be faults if you like plz. so less work
                  --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: one point is to bring as many possiblities for associations to the public that they choose themselves
