Emos aren't depressed, they just have dangerously high levels of emoglobin that need to be excreted via wrist

^ORIGIN

The origin of emoism is much debated, but it is thought to have first manifested in the modern form during the 1990's.

Another theory is that emos are suffering from a defect in the center of endorphins.
It goes so much happiness hormone lost that from puberty simply not sufficient to a normal life to lead.

Some sources believe that the concept of "emo" originated in the late 1980's, as a way to describe a branch of hardcore punk that appeared in the 1980's, with "emo" being short for "emotive/emotional hardcore/emoxcore/emocore/whatever" but everybody on the internet knows that "emo" means "angsty kids who take pictures of themselves in a mirror on MySpace or Facebook or Twitter for that matter"

It is also debated that "emo" is a subculture which stemmed from goths, which stemmed from the punk culture,which stemmed from the tophats. This is largely debatable and difficult to prove considering the drastic differences between the "goth" and "emo" subcultures: goths kill kittens, emos cry when kittens are killed  Emos wear tight pants, goths wear the famous parachute pants.

FASION AND DEMEANOUR

Emo clothing is typically black, mixed with smaller amounts of shockingly bright colors, especially, but not limited to, their hair. While emo hair is mostly black, there are often flamboyantly bright highlights.

Emos tend to favor one-eyed hair cuts. Some believe this hairstyle to have stemmed from a lack of self-esteem or more commonly believed that they only have one eye. 

It is often very difficult to identify the gender of an emo.

They can be easily identified by their ridiculously tight jeans if male (stolen from sister's closet or bought at Edgars). Specifically for the males, wearing tight pants,  white studded belts, and small band t-shirts are prevalent. Piercings, eyeliner, and long hair are also common but not necessary and don't forget those sneakers

LIFESTYLE

A majority of those in the emo subculture are vegetarians.
Emos, like most vegetarians, are not without blatantly bashing meat eating and meat eaters. It is common to see an emo eating a large salad, fruits, and vegetables while looking rather pathetically at a "normal" person consuming a tasty hamburger.

Did you know...

It is 100% absolutely true that being "emo" constitutes committing self-harm, writing poetry, being depressed, and identifying one's self as bisexual. There are many other characteristics of the emo subculture, but further research is needed to accurately describe them.

Others who push the self-righteousness further follow the "sxe" lifestyle, also known as "Straight Edge", where they refuse to drink, smoke, eat or have sex.  thank God for that choice.

SELF-INFLICTED DAMAGE

Emos are known for their often self-inflicted pain.

The reason for this is that emos tend to produce gargantuan amounts emoglobin, a hormone which causes depression, shitty hairstyles, and an introverted attitude.
Contrary to emo belief, cutting oneself does not release this hormone.

Unfortunately, emos produce no amount of the hormone known as common sense, so that rules the last option out.
Some emos make the outlandish claim that they inflict pain on themselves because nobody likes them, and that's why they cut themselves.
Though the statement that nobody likes them is the truest thing to ever be documented, that's not the real reason that emos cut; it's all in the emoglobin.

SOME "EMO" QUOTES

“Every cut I make is for all the people who say they will be there for me but aren’t, for the people who say they love me but don’t, and for all those broken promises.” 

“We can’t help feeling hurt, but being miserable is always our decision.” 

“I found a box of sharp objects today. Oh, such a beautiful thing.” 

“And he takes the razor from her hands and whispers to her, “Just pretend you’re pretty.” 

"EMO" POEM

From start to finish I wonder why
The cuts look good in this messed up lie
The blood that trickles down my arm
People all stare at the girl who self-harms:-

"The emo" they call me
I turn to my name
They act out slicing their wrists
I hang my head in shame
I can't help my feelings
Of being alone

I hide myself for the day
Just longing to go home
I sprawl on my bed
With my razor in hand
And take myself away
To a much better land

I stare in the mirror
And let myself cry
Looking forward to the day
That I finally die

SOME "EMO" PICTURES AND THINGS (disturbing)

After the rain

 

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,
But God’s always ready,
                                                              To answer your call

He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear

Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn’s early light

The Savior is waiting,
for you to receive,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ...

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

“God always sends rainbows

after the rain.”

Psychopathic/Sociopathic Tendencies - The Kotze Case made me think

The psychopath is one of the most fascinating and distressing problems of human experience.  For the most part, a psychopath never remains attached to anyone or anything. They live a "predatory" lifestyle. 

They feel little or no regret, and little or no remorse - except when they are caught.
They need relationships, but see people as obstacles to overcome and be eliminated.   If not,  they see people in terms of how they can be used. They use people for stimulation, to build their self-esteem and they invariably value people in terms of their material value (money, property, etc..). 
 
A psychopath can have high verbal intelligence, but they typically lack "emotional intelligence". 

They can be expert in manipulating others by playing to their emotions. 

There is a shallow quality to the emotional aspect of their stories (i.e., how they felt, why they felt that way, or how others may have felt and why). 

The lack of emotional intelligence is the first good sign you may be dealing with a psychopath.

The following is a list of items based on the research of Robert Hare, Ph.D. which is derived from the "The Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, .1991, Toronto: Multi-Health  Systems." 

glibness/superficial charm	grandiose sense of self worth
need for stimulation/prone to boredom	pathological lying
conning/manipulative	lack of remorse or guilt
shallow emotional response	callous/lack of empathy
parasitic lifestyle	poor behavioral controls
promiscuous sexual behavior	early behavioral problems
lack of realistic long term goals	impulsivity
irresponsibility	failure to accept responsibility for their own actions
many short term relationships	juvenile delinquency
revocation of conditional release	criminal versatility

A psychopath is not the same as an antisocial personality.

Antisocial personalities may or may not be psychopathic.  The antisocial personality is primarily a problem involving a failure to respect the right of individuals, the law and rules of society.   

Psychopathy involves poor emotional intelligence, the lack of conscience, and an inability to feel attached to people except in terms of their value as a source of stimulation or new possessions.  There are many expressions and forms of psychopathy.  

 

You get different types of psycopaths:-

Charmers

Some psychopaths are called charismatic psychopaths, they use charm to harm
They are attractive liars. smooth talkers who almost possess a demonic ability to persuade others to part with everything they own, be it relationships to money
they glib and are irresistible

Evil personified

These are the "well-known" ones - the sexual psycopath. Their crimes tend to be dispassionate, instrumental and practical. The rapers, killers

Some are highly intelligent and have shown great promise as professionals

Bullies

 
A boy who cruelly harasses his peers at school will not necessarily turn out a thug, but such a cruel streak may be an early clue of an aggressive psychopathic personality. 

The Joburg nightclub bouncer Gary Beuthin displayed these tendencies from an early age, he assaulted his girlfriend viciously after she’d left him stranded at a nightclub.

As she lay spurting blood on a concrete floor he callously said, ‘‘I don’t care if the bitch dies!’’

This is typical of an aggressive psychopath who likes to hurt, frighten and manipulate. 

Ranters and Ravers

A so-called ‘‘distempered psychopath’’ regularly flies into a frenzied rage- this might be your boss

They have strong sex drives and powerful cravings are common, ranging from gambling, drug addiction and kleptomania to paedophilia.

They like the endorphin ‘‘high’’ of excitement and risk-taking. 

These people show no remorse after nearly beating their wife, girlfriend or child to death. 

 Psychopaths vs Sociopaths

 
Within the bigger group of psychopaths there is a subgroup called sociopaths – although the difference between them is quite blurred. Sociopaths also have a complete disregard for the feelings of others and don’t show any remorse for what they’ve done, but they’re not as coldly calculating and manipulative as psychopaths – they’re more prone to breaking the rules of society because they’re impulsive and unable to control their urges.

The scary bit is you’re more likely to trust a psychopath than a sociopath because they can be so charming and because they know instinctively what your weaknesses are.

The sociopaths you may come across can be rebellious or withdrawn, real rotters on the fringes of society – or someone as close to you as your domineering boss. 

 Sociopaths: do you know any of these types?

Rebels: Rebellious sociopaths especially enjoy and take pride in bending or breaking rules.  As adults they move around a lot – from one lowpaying dead-end job to another – or they take advantage of welfare systems. They seem happy with their lives as vagrant rebels and are not burdened by low self-esteem. 

Outsiders: Called ‘‘alienated sociopaths’’ these outsiders seem to live in a shell. They have a cold attitude towards human suffering and social problems. Dating them or getting married to them will lead to a barren, empty existence. They’re the kind of people who never get along with the neighbours and always have a gripe; who feel they were cheated in some way by society. And quite frankly, my dear, they just don’t give a damn – simply because they’re unable to. 

Gangsters: Typical outcasts, these ‘‘dyssocial sociopaths’’ are attracted by other outcasts and ‘‘bad eggs’’. They’re capable of intense loyalty to bad companions. Because of the poor choices they make they always seem to fall upon bad luck and complain that none of it is their fault. 

Snakes in suits: Look around you and you’re sure to recognise them. They’re the kind of people who’re obsessed with money and power. And so they go to work – in the modern corporate world, where high risks often mean big profits. 

They polish their domineering manner and seek out positions of power. They can be teachers, bureaucrats, supervisors and police officers. And they’re parents too. 

They employ underhand methods and may systematically sabotage the ideas of others to get their own schemes in place. They usually get their way – and if you resist or cross them they get vindictive. 

Some Practical ideas

Place your cellphone/i-pod in a concave bowl, it amplifies the sound

Use your bread tags for perfect sized named cord cables

 Gotcha!  

Place pantyhose/stockings over the mouth of a vacuum cleaner hose, to find those tiny goodies like earrings etc.

For those of us, like me, who hate to fold fitted bed sheets

 Problem with space - create your own "Gutter Garden" using roof guttering, for your veggies or flowers

Turn your muffin pan upside down and use cookie dough, to make perfect cookie bowls for any filling

 Aaaaaawwwww Schucks!

All I want for Christmas ...

My handsome husband's present - check
My adorable son's present - check
My beautiful daughter's present - check - check

The Christmas tree is up
In stead of tinsel and bells
Let's hang up some

... Peace
... Love
... Patience
... Joy

Onto this thin Christmas tree
That is all I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas
The moon was so bright
Around the front yard the creatures did wait
With claws drawn out wide
With slivering scales
Waited the horrors of christmas

Inside the house
All cosy inside
Asleep in their beds
Lay the family all snug
The dog & the cat
Awake they sat
Knowing that the horrors of christmas did wait

Unbeknownst to all stood a being alight
With wings spread wide
And golden sword
'Bout 18 feet high from shoulder to thigh
High on the roof top
With  feet planted wide
And fire in his eyes

Death - The Last Taboo

"There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time. 

The word death is used in at least three primary and numerous secondary ways. The three primary usages are: death as an event; death as a condition; and death as a state of existence or nonexistence. 

Biological science assumes that carbon matter is the primary stuff of life, that the brain is the source of consciousness.  What the Bible & the  prophets tell us is; that we are eternal beings.

We are fallen beings inhabiting a condensed fallen world, comprising a mere 4% of the mass of creation, that has been ejected from our true homeland due to a revolt. The revealed information is compatible with scientific evidence, it simply contradicts the belief standpoint of secular scientists, biologists in particular.

Death as an event. In this usage, death is something that happens. As an event, death occurs at a particular time and place and in a particular way. In this sense of the term, death is a phenomenon that stays within the bounds of mainstream conception and observation. Time, place, and cause can be recorded on a death certificate (theoretically, in all instances although, in practice, the information may be incomplete or imprecise). This usage does not concern itself with mysteries or explanations: Death is an event that cuts off a life. 

Death as a state of existence or nonexistence. In this sense, it can almost be said that death is what becomes of a person after death. It refers not to the event that ended life nor the condition of the body at that time, but rather to whatever form of existence might be thought to prevail when a temporal life has come to its end.

It appears that more and more people are asking the same question that Job asked nearly 4,000 years ago in the Bible: "If a man dies, will he live again?" What could be a more fundamental question of life (and death)? Reincarnation theories are popular in Eastern religions as well as the many New Age variants. It seems people are comfortable with the idea of another chance to return to earth and figure things out or make things right. Some nihilist thinkers believe that death is the absolute end; but contrary to what many might think, most people believe that death is not the end. In some shape or form we go on. 

When Jesus was talking with Martha about the death of Lazarus, her brother, He declared "I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." Right here, Jesus started presenting the astonishing claim that there is life after death. Jesus then went the next step and brought Lazarus back to life after four days in a tomb. At that point, Jesus put everyone on notice that He would later overcome the grave Himself!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

For skeptics, the whole idea of heaven is just the product of fertile imaginations. For many others, the Biblical idea of heaven is too fanciful or fantastic. However, Christians can live their lives with bold hope, thanks to the evidence of history that establishes with convincing clarity how Jesus not only preceded us in death, but also came back from the deadLife After Death: Proof?

Is there mathematical proof for life after death? No. But if you believe the life-changing evidence for God, Jesus and the Bible, then heaven is as much a concrete reality for you as the Lord in whom you’ve invested your absolute trust. It’s not fantasy – it’s the absolute life-changing hope that strengthens us and gives us peace.

 Some short stories

Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin remembers that in April of 1933 when he lived in McKinney, Texas, his heart stopped beating and his soul left his body." After this, I began to descend lower and lower. The lower I went, the darker and hotter it became. As we went deeper, I noticed the flickering of ominous flames, presumably hell's, on the walls of the caves. Finally, a large flame burst through and began to pull me. Many years have passed since then. To this day, I can picture that hell's flame.

Having reached the bottom of the chasm, I felt the presence of a spirit next to me and it began to lead me. At this moment, above the hellish dark, a powerful Voice was heard. I did not understand what was said, but I felt that it was God's Voice. From the force of this Voice, the whole of the nether world trembled. Immediately, the spirit which had been pushing me, let me go and a wind lifted me back up. Gradually, the light of this world began to shine. I was, once again in my room and I jumped into my body like a man jumping into a pair of pants. I saw my grandmother, who started telling me, "Dear, I thought you had died." After a time, Kenneth became a pastor in one of the Protestant churches and dedicated his life to God. He wrote about his ordeal in a brochure entitled "My Witness."

 

An enfeebled man after suffering for many years finally prayed to The Lord for an end to his suffering. An angel appeared to him and said: "Your sins require cleansing. The Lord offers you to exchange one year of suffering on earth for three hours of hell. Choose." The sufferer contemplated his choices and decided on three hours in hell. Then the angel took him into the pit of hell. All around was darkness, narrowness - everywhere evil spirits, the cries of sinners, and suffering. The soul of the enfeebled began to experience indescribable fear and pain, but only echoes and the surging hellfire answered his screams. No one noticed his groans and bellows; all of the sinners were occupied with their own suffering.

The sufferer felt that centuries had passed and that the angel had forgotten him. Finally, the angel appeared to him and asked, "Well, how are you brother?" "You tricked me!" exclaimed the sufferer. "Not three hours, but many years I have been here in intolerable pain!" "What years?" the angel asked, "only an hour has passed, and you still have two to go." Then, the sufferer begged the angel to return him to earth, where he was willing to suffer as many years as required, if only to leave this place of terrors. "Very well," answered the angel, "The Lord will show His Great Mercy." Finding himself back on his sickbed, the sufferer from that point forward bore his sufferings with meekness, always remembering hell's terrors, which are incomparably worse.

The World Wide Cattle Show

Look ...

I am not speaking about the four legged kind of cattle show, I am speaking about the very available two-legged meat market out their that wets every fantasy of every man on this planet.

It's not that women don't do it; it's just that the men do it much more.

The day has come when internet dating is considered a legitimate way of meeting new people in the endless search for the right person. 

Chat rooms have replaced bar rooms, and internet dating sites and personal ads no longer have the "stigma" that they once did.

The internet dating "scene" is one of the easiest places for someone to cheat on their spouse or significant other, or to use the internet dating area as a place for promiscuity. The danger of long-distance internet romance is it is extremely easy for someone already involved with a partner to go out and cheat in a relatively safe (for them) environment... or just to play the field, so to say ....
The variety of woman is endless,  its like being in a chocolate store ... a taste from there, a taste from here ... never satisfied with the chocolate he has in hand

So at first he is not thinking he is risking anything. He thinks he's passing time. But as with any cheap thrill once you start you want more and more. Like potato chips. 

Most men will slip down that slippery slope to infidelity, ruined marriages, broken families, btoken hearts like an endless rope behind them .... They will post pics, exchange emails and even phone calls hoping for a real life meet up with their Internet fantasy girl. 

Get real.

• The best predictor of future behavior is relevant past behavior.
•  What do you predict? If your partner has cheated on you repeatedly and now swears he/she will stop, what are the chances that this is true? You can't change what you don't acknowledge. Isn't there a point at which you say, "I deserve better. 
•  He/She may not have any boundaries, but I do. And my boundaries say, 'You either treat me with integrity, dignity and respect or you don't treat me at all'?"

This is not your fault.

• Stop beating yourself up about this. 
•  You have got to know that this has nothing to do with you. 
•  You are not the one who made the decision to break your commitment to your partner and cheat. You have nothing to do with your partner making the immature, inappropriate, self-destructive choice to turn away from you to someone else.

Assess your commitment level.

• You can either handle being vulnerable with your partner again or you can't.
•  And if you can't, you need to get out of this relationship and move on.
• And if you can, then you need to let him/her earn the trust back and start putting this relationship together again.

Consider the consequences.
 

• You do have responsibility here for what you do next. 
• You have to make a decision about whether or not justice is best served by allowing your partner to re-earn your trust, or if it's better not to subject your family any longer to the current situation.

Decide if you can choose to forgive.

• Forgiveness is a choice.
• It doesn't mean what your partner did is OK. 
• How much you trust your partner is in part about what your partner does, and in part a function of whether you have confidence to handle it if he/she disappoints you.
• If you find out that he/she strays again, can you handle that?

If you can't forgive, let go.

• When you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences. 
• If you continue to throw this in your partner's face, you will eventually run him/her off.
• Ask yourself if this is going to be a life sentence for your partner.
• Can you heal from this and forgive? If not, don't continue to live in anger and/or be with someone who causes you pain.
