My proudest moment...

I took this yesterday on the USF campus in the middle of the daytime! Although school was on Christmas break, there were still plenty of staff and employees walking around. Oh yeah, I got naked in public, and it was awesome!

I have absolutely freaking had it with philosophy being so “disembodied”.

ENOUGH WITH THE MADNESS! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIND AND BODY!!

As I see it, sexuality (the life of the body) and mentality (the life of the mind) are one and the same. I am a man and I am profoundly attracted to the female form. I am no longer going to take this as a “weakness”. More than anything, I want to want. I need to be “turned on”, and as a consequence, I feel it is my duty to do everything within my power to “turn on” others.

Well said! =D>

USF? South Florida? Dude, I will be impressed if you do that up north this time of year. A human that can be naked in snow is more impressive than one in a warm sunny place. but, I applaud your stance, it is a healthy one. =D> Not bad lookin either.

I hope it´s a rock and not a bad case of elephantitis…

:unamused: :laughing:


I “think” (ha! get it) that this perspective is the one that I do the most justice to. The other dude is obviously more ripped around the mid-section (it is going to be very hard to get rid of all of my folds :cry: ), and his calves are HUGE. I think my arms are doing pretty good, though…

It is really hard to nail down the way his face presses into his hand. I’ll try to work on that for the next attempt!

Also, the rock that he was sitting on was cut just so that he could be leaning slightly forward and yet rest his feet in a natural angular position. I tried to imitate this position with my own feet, but I think it looks too forced.

Not bad considering my gear consisted of a crappy digital camera, a garbage can (as a tripod), a piece of cardboard, and some scotch tape!

So what if it is? I am not an animal!!!

You should have done a naked duo. :laughing:

I see your point: more nakedness is always better than less! I am feverishly working on getting more nakedness into my life!!

(In this context, however, two people would have indeed been a crowd.)

A shameless exhibition (not bad for an old bald guy :smiley: )

…turn on like a lightbulb/mentally, or sexually?

I think there’s a time and a place for the latter - if a person’s hot: the latter is gonna happen anyway, but this can be converted to the former: as it’s converting energy from a physical state to a mental one…

magsj,

per the original post, you are not going to get me to tread down the dreaded “path of duality”!

For, I am Dennis Kane… living unity of body and mind!!

Okay, so I am a man, interested in women. This fact has plagued me ever since I started to notice things going on “down there”, when I was in my early adolescence.

However, the problem with me is that I have never been able to just “go along” with the crowd. I have always had such a need to strike out on my own path that this has caused me to become profoundly alienated from my own peers.

Even though I’ve been fairly sexually attractive since I started lifting weights when I was 14, my mind has always gotten in the way of my ability to form relationships. I had always felt that my physical attributes meant that I “deserved” female attention, but this attention was never satisfactorily realized.

Starting in high school, I was slowly slipping towards a psychological nightmare, whereby I was becoming trapped inside of my own head. This continued on through my twenties.

In 1998 (after I got discharged from the army for going AWOL 2 times), my parents decided to take me to a shrink (I was 22 or 23), at which time I happened to bring along a Harvard Classics book on Plato. That book was my introduction into the world of “philosophy proper”, and I haven’t looked back since.

In 1999, I struck out on my own to San Diego, where I started to learn about who I truly was. Out there, I found people who could just live life as it came, and I was both inspired and baffled. I wanted that kind of spiritual vitality so badly, but I was resigned to the fact that there was no way around my own personality.

So, I continued to dig into philosophy, uncovering every inch of it that I could. But it wasn’t until I discovered Heidegger that I became truly intrigued by the written word. Eventually, I forced myself to read Being and Time (this was '04), and my imagination was sparked.

I began to realize that the “existential self” is the origin of the “intellectual self”. This notion allowed me to come up with a profoundly original philosophy that I consider to be the greatest truth that I have ever known (see First Metaphysics). Very recently (after a 1+ year long journey into computer programming), I was inspired to apply this existential philosophy directly to the world of science, where I have been making discoveries left and right for over two months, concerning the nature of the universe.

All of this means that my philosophy (my mind) has finally come far enough to comment upon the real world in which I live. In other words, my metaphysics and my physics have joined forces to create a holistic “way of thinking and being” that I cannot possibly ignore.

I consider myself to be a truly free spirit who loves and accepts both himself and the world around him. I am no longer afraid to shout out to the world what I am feeling. Consequently, the world – and all of the women that inhabit it – are slowly coming back into my life, and I could not be happier!

So, I am hereby inviting anyone who will listen to join me as I blissfully wander through this wide, wonderful world. I don’t know where this journey is going to take me, and I don’t want to know. All I know is that I love it all, and I want to share this passion with anyone else who will open their hearts.

If you think that you are trapped in a particular situation, you are dead wrong. You can go wherever you want to go at any time you damn well please. Trust your body to do what is necessary to survive: it has all of the instinct that it needs…

I understand your philosophy completely: as we are a whole (the mental and the physical / intellectually and sexually) but I’m not sure about wanting to turn everybody on / perish the thought :-&

To press intellectual buttons is one thing, but to press sexual buttons warrants selectivity - one can remain whole while being selective, you know: so one’s wholeness and selectivity remains uncompromised…

I completely disagree. I don’t want to discriminate in any way. I want to love, be in love, make love…

Mentally, sexually, forwards, backwards, it’s all good!

What about discrimination on the grounds of morality: against sociotel low-lifes? or do you want to be all encompassing in your quest? I’m just interested to know at what level your life-philosophy takes effect from…

Mag, I am my philosophy!!!


Holla back, girls! :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess that means it’s all encompassing, then!

Mags

Yes… that would be correct! =D>

Let me guess how your workouts go. You walk in, start with some bicep curls, and maybe every other time move onto bench press. Maybe you do some ab work and cardio.
