You can also make your own, it's free!If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete. - Sun Tzu, The Art of WarI BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY CAN "REINVENT" THEMSELVES ARE UNHAPPY AND DID NOT REALLY KNOW WHO THEY WERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. EVERYTHING IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. I AM CONTENT IN KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING IS NOTHING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME NOTHING IS EVERYTHING. I STRUGGLE IN TRAINING MYSELF TO HAVE NOT A SINGLE THOUGHT IN MY HEAD AND FIND BLISS IN THAT FLEETING MOMENT WHEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS...BUT AS OF YET HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GRASP THE PRACTICE OF HOLDING ONTO THAT MOMENT. MAYBE THAT IS A LESSON WITHIN A LESSON...ANYTHING THAT IS HELD TOO CLOSE WILL EVENTUALLY DISSAPEAR AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT US EVEN REALIZING IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN DEJA VU..THE TRANSLATION JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME...I DON'T BELIEVE IN "CULTURE" BECAUSE "CULTURE" IS SOMETHING THAT IS DEVELOPED WITHIN A SINGLE PERSON'S MIND AND THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO RETRIEVE WHAT IS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S MIND (UNLESS YOU ARE ONE THAT BELIEVES IN MIND CONTROL AND SPOON FEEDER AGENTS AND SUCH...I THINK THAT WAS AN INSIDE JOKE...LEAVE ME A MESSAGE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE...) I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ASK YOURSELF "WHO AM I" AT ANY MOMENT IN TIME YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION BECAUSE IN THE SECONDS THAT PASS BEFORE YOU CAN DELIVER AN ANSWER YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED SOMETHING NEW THAT ULTIMATELY JUST CHANGED YOUR WHOLE BEING. A TRUE ARTIST OF LIFE MUST CREATE THEIR OWN MORAL UNIVERSE IN WHICH THEY ULTIMATELY ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO ANSWER TO...a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="position:absolute !important; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:9; height:120px; width:200px; background-image:url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com/imag es/banners/banner8831.gif'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom left; border:0px;" You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
