Laika Techno Bar

Sitting @ Laika, listening to tech-house.

Waiting for Miya

It’s unfashionable sitting alone. I have a glowing piece of tech in front of me which gives me a reason to be here, but otherwise l would be unfashionably naked and alone.

People are social. I feel like it’s a norm. I don’t want to be alone at a party. but, why not? Why is it normal to be social?

indi, the bush is about to be beaten around so bear with me: it always goes back to the tree falling in the forest proverb. if you’re alone in a forest and there’s no one there to bear witness are you really alone? do you even exist? if no one else were around to witness your solitude than solitude would be where it’s at because it’s all there’d be. loners would be kings, by default. every man would be an island. but the kingdom would exist only in the mind of the loner. after all, a kindom requires knights and masons and damsels in distress. funny how the loner in this scenario might dream of being king even though there’s no one to rule. and therein lies an answer to the question. no, that doesn’t answer the question at all. i suddenly have the urge to be in the warm presence of others.

N: You have to eat a whole load of beans…the n you can be gassy like Omr.

the way of the dodo: nonsense, 100g of spinach has 2.2g of protien 100g of beans will give you 10gs of protien. you need 70gs a day. fish or chicken generally has around 35g of protein per 100g. http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/S pinach#Nutritio n...

Omr: Nope. Beans and/or spinach give you more than enough. You are just desperate to find an excuse to eat meat because you like the taste and it is an established tradition. No problem, continue on eating meat, just admit you are an absolute...

Trishaw Economics (4)

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
