2. Buddy Giovinazzo and his book Potsdamer Platz
3. Alcohol + Consequences = Girlfriend

We're not supposed to list all the things that changed our lives, are we? Just some of'em yeah?

most important ones. if we could add as many we wanted I'd have said too: Music, Internet and my first programmin' lessons.

I never knew you had cancer! If you don't mind me asking, what kind? It's cool if it's too personal.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I had it when I was 10 years old, and I was rediagnosed with it in September 2007 (I am still dealing with it now too).

Hmm. Not in any specific order.

Getting internet. The people, the information, the things branching off of it... it's immense.
My mother's death. That's one way of life for telling me to get off my ass and start living.
One Hundred Years Of Solitude. If it weren't for that book, I'd still be stuck with harry potter and other contemporary bestsellers, or wouldn't have read nearly as much as I did.

[VijchtiDoodah]

Immigration to the states, my girlfriend, and echo_trail. <3

Haahah! You know just what to say to make a bloke feel special.

I might become gay for the both of you. Mwah.

The Hobbit. The first book that ever revealed what worlds lay in words, propelled me into books and the internet.

My brother. He was the first to show me that great adventures start with the will to complete them. Since then, I've been addicted to travel: a month long backpacking trip through the wilderness to the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States, hitchhiking as a hobo up the Western coast and camping with the other homeless or being taken in by strangers for good food and soft places to sleep, and soon I'll be either driving through South America with my good friend Uri or researching mammalian homeostatic techniques in Japan to help develop more effective pharmaceuticals or else joining a fishing crew off of the Aleutian chain.

Hallucinogenics. There's nothing in the world that can more powerfully or quickly alter your permanent perceptions of the human experience and nothing that can so effectively demonstrate the fragility of the mind.

Will be waiting with great anticipation.^^

That's depressing. It'll be ironic when you outlive me.

I'm also a cancer survivor, but I probably had a far less dangerous form, cause they just stole my eye and it was all good, hope that goes well for you FLAB

Only if I wanted an drug that harms scientific innovation.

[N. Escalona]

Truth can never harm scientific investigation. Heck, even theories and hypotheses can't harm scientific investigation.

Not that I intend to imply that truth is a scientific construct like hypothesis and theory.

EDIT: My bad, you said innovation. But innovation can't be impeded by having more ideas on the table. Rejecting ideas categorically, however, certainly impedes scientific innovation, to say nothing of rational thought.

Do not go offtopic. If you want to start a new discussion, make a new thread for it.

Wasn't just him who went off topic >_>.  Ease up, man.
