So I ended up going hiking in upstate New York. It was a pretty cool time, ran into some mountain lions and snakes. After some time hiking, we actually made it to the zenith of the mountain -- the very pinnacle, which was over 1.5k feet up. Heres the view from the top:

It really was a great experience. Going again next week, hopefully i'll have some new pics of that as well

So, as I quit smoking, I've been considering switching to these guys. Apparently its a healthier alternative. Anyone have any experience with these or other electric cigarettes?

Yeah this is me making some quick repairs on my truck. Just hooked a chain to my buddy's truck and we pulled out the bumper. I think it worked real swell. A lot cheaper than going to a mechanic.

EDIT: Backed my truck into a pole going 30MPH, resulting in the problem......yeah.

What is real in this world of lies?
I have been reading/thinking about life, love and philosophy. What exactly is life, do we really exist?
I have come to a few conclusions and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
What is love? Is it real? Or is it a lie? I've realized that love is a set of emotions, and most people involve fear with love. Ex. "I'm afraid of him hurting me."
Does love come down to how much you think and feel about a person? The more time that person spends on your mind the more attraction you have to that person? Not necessarily attraction, but the more open you are to that person. The more feelings that arise when communicating with that person creates a stronger bond? Whether its feelings of anger (fear based) or feelings of trust (love based).
But I digress.
Back to the matter of life.
Could it be that humans are extremely primitive in consciousness/cognitive processing? We only use a tiny % of our brain capacity, and why is that? If we were to be able to use more of our brainpower would it lead to an evolution of sorts? Possibly comprehending more dimensions or understanding what we really are?
Oh, and also. Has anyone ever thought about thinking about what they are thinking of, from a 3rd persons view? Looked at actions outside of your own perspective?
This is how change occurs, I bleev...
