Parmaginin ucunu gozlerine yaklastir. Bir noktada parmaginin ucu o kadar buyuk olacaktir ki parmak ucundan baska hicbirsey goremeyeceksin. Bu parmak ucunun buyuk oldugu manasina gelmez. Parmaginin ucunun arkasini goremedigin manasina gelir. Bunun icin parmagini ya da gozlerini suclayabilirsin - ben parmagini cekmeyi akil edemeyenleri suclamayi tercih ediyorum. Nietzche'nin mutsuz ya da zavalli oldugunu hic dusunmedim. Benim onu ve dusuncelerini oldukca basarili buluyorum. Herseyi "bare minimum" a indirebilmeyi ondan ogrendim. Onun kadar olmasa da, ben de insanligin kendisinin cirkin, mutsuz, hasta ve zavalli bir varlik oldugunu dusunuyorum. Temel olarak aptal bir yaratik "insanoglu". "Bir insan" zeki ve mantikli olabilir, ama "bir grup insan" her zaman gerizekali, panik, beceriksiz ve koyun surusu olacaktir. Thus Spoke Zarathustra'yi keyifle alip basucu kitabi yaptim kendime :))

Nietzche'den bir isik beklemek manasiz, romantik, sevgi dolu bir sair degil o. Isik yakmakla gorevli insanlar da var, onlar ayri. Herkesin kendi yeri, kendi isi var (bkz: zarathustra, birinci chapter). Eger onu bir cocuk olarak, genc ve deneyimsiz biri olarak okursan baska, simdiki kafan ile okursan baska seyler goreceksin. Lise yillarinda Nietzche okumak buyuuuk bir hata. O yillarda Rumi okuyor olmaliydin.

Sana bos bir vaktimizde herseyi siyah ve beyaza kadar indirgeyip anlatmak isterim. Soylediklerimin her kelimesi dogru olacaktir. Ama bu hicbirseyi "cozmez" hicbirseye "isik tutmaz". Herkesin gercegi kendine. Ben sana yorumlarim, kendim bu yorum dogrultusunda sonsuza kadar da mutlu yasarim. Sen bana bakar "cirkin, zavalli, hasta" bir adam gorursun, ama bu ne beni cirkin, ne zavalli, ne de hasta yapar.

Happiness is a point of view. Happiness is not given, it's not taken, it does not come in a gift wrapped box, it cannot be bought, it cannot be sought. It simply is there to "be". Close your eyes, relax, take a deep breath. Now imagine that you got sick, you cannot breathe through your nose, your throat hurts and you have a fever. Try to breathe. Now realize that you are not sick and you can drink each breath as if it is holy water. That is true happiness.

Ahlak ve inanc mantiga vurulamaz. Inanc koru korunedir. Inanc / Mantik savasindan mantik her zaman galip cikacaktir. Ama mantik tek basina seni asla mutlu edemez. Mutluluk icin arada sirada inanca ihtiyacin vardir; guzel seylerin, iyi seylerin, sana iyi gelecek seylerin varligina inanc. Koru korune inanci abartanlar da kendilerini havaya ucurup, cadi yakarak ya da kendilerini yakarak kafalarina gore takilirlar, sonuc pek degismez; ki onlar da kendilerince mutlu olarak olur, oldururler.

Mother Theresa hayatini baskalarina adadi, ama sonunda mutsuz, inancsiz ve hayal kirikligi icinde oldu.

Gandhi hayati boyunca bir tek canliyi incitmedi, butun dunyaya ahlak dersi verdi. Ama sonunda birisi onu vurup oldurdu. Ne Hindistan'a baris geldi, ne de Gandhi'den sonra birsey degisti. Her nesil genlerinde tasidigi igrenc, pis insanlik degerleri dogrultusunda yasadi ve geberip gitti.

Bir gun hepimiz olecegiz. Butun bunlar da bosu bosuna. Plato sonuna kadar bunu savundu: Elimdeki tek sey ben, fikirlerim, sozlerim ve bilgimdir. Begenmiyorsaniz begenmeyin. Benim icin farkeden birsey yok. Ha oksuk otu icip gebermisim, ha da kanserden. Sonuc ayni. Eger soyledigimden geri donmem gerekiyorsa bildigimden, benligimden geri donmem gerekiyor demektir. Bu durumda da yasmis olmam, yasamam da bosunadir. Devam.

Sith Lord is just another name for a

human. It's the "dark side", but it still is just a side. When you are on that side, this side is the enemy, when you are on this side, the other side. The plain and simple truth is "you are on one side". And a "side" is a part of the whole.

Some of us are the "blade runners" - in the truest sense. Just be "aware" - know, see, understand. You do not have the power to change anything indefinitely.

Stick to your guns, take the road as it comes.

Elinden geleni yap, konus, tartis, yardima ihtiyac olanlara yardim et. "Healer" benim gorevim; mavi/yesil aura. Begensem de begenmesem de bir sekilde karsima "gorevim ile ilgili" insanlar cikar hep. Hep...

Ben de hep ayni seyi yaparim. Sonuc da hep ayni olur.

Bir gun olup gittigimde "hey gidi" diyecek birileri; "tesekkur ederim" diyecek kimileri; "gerzek" diyecek bir kismi; "kim?" diyecek cogu.

Ama ben burada olmayacagim.

Benim farkim "nerede olacagim" konusunda en ufak bir endise, merak ya da heves tasimiyor olmam. I simply do not care.

Bir merhaba, bir kahve, iki kelam.

Baki kalan su gokkubbede bir hossada imis.

Yes I am dead inside. En son ne zaman agladigimi hatirlamiyorum (aslinda hatirliyorum). Ama bunun sebebi aglama ozurlu olmam degil, aglayacak birsey bulamamam.

Yalan soylemiyorum. Ulvi bir karakterim oldugu icin degil. Hickimseyi, hicbirseyi "yalan soylemeye deger bulmadigim" icin.

En nihayetinde hersey bir alis veris. Benim ne sattigim bellidir, ne aradigim da. Senin de ne sattigin bellidir, ne aradigin da. Sen bilmesen de, bilincaltin bilir. Senin sattigin sey ile ilgilenen bir baska ruh ile karsilastiginda alisveris baslar. Basit bir matematik hesaptir her iliski, her muhabbet. Sen ne koydun ortaya, ne aldin ortadan. +/- bir hesap. Ufak zararlar eder her iki taraf da. Belli baremler cercevesinde zararlar sorun degildir. Ama muhasebe hep ortadadir. Eger cok zarar edersen iflas edersin. Verip alabildigin surece mutlusundur. Isin sirri da buradadir. Ne aldin, ne verdin. Cok verir de karsiligini yeteri kadar cok alamazsan o zaman o iliski(ticaret) bozulur. Gayet temiz.

"Atil olmak" diye birsey yok. Victory does not exist. Peace is nothing. Happiness is meaningless if you don't know that you are happy. Hersey alip / verilir. Hicbirsey sana ait degildir. Vucudundaki butun atomlar 2 yil icinde degismis olacak. Su an icinde olanlar gidecek, yerlerine baskalari gelecek. Bir zamanlar baska bir seye "vucut vermis" olan seyler seni "olusturacaklar".

Yasadigini sadece olumu gordugunde anlayacaksin. Bir minarenin "dengede" oldugunu nasil anlarlar biliyor musun? Eger "sallaniyorsa" dengededir. Bir derece dahi bir kenara yatan minare sallanmaz cunku (yercekimi yasasi). Sallaniyorsa. Gel / Git. Nefes al, nefes ver. Kalbin bir an atar, bir an atmaz. Up, down. Uyur, uyanirsin. Yasar, olursun. Guler, aglarsin. Simple. Alir, verirsin.

Insanligin buyuk cogunlugu mezarini arayan cesetlerdir benim gozumde. Olu gibi dolasirlar, sonunda da olur giderler. Gubre, nothing more, nothing less.

Bu gezegen eninde sonunda uzerinde yasayan bu salak organizmadan kurtulacaktir. Veba gibi, virus gibiyiz.

Komik olan sey ise her devirde insanligin "guzel yanlarini" parlatarak "karanlik yanlarini" aydinlatmaya calisanlarin peydah olmasi. Kimileri sadece aydinlikta, kimileri sadece karanlikta yasar. Kimileri karanlik ve aydinligin ortasinda, her iki tarafi da "kabullenerek" yasar. Ama bir tarafa gecmeyi istemezler. Neyse ki cok kalabalik degiliz. Cunku aydinlik ve karanligin kesistigi yerde cok fazla bir hareket alani yok.

AK 47 vs. AR 15 vs. Mosin Nagant
icy; Sunday, October 18, 2009Reads: 1,106

Written by Head of the old Headsbunker.com, also known as "Ezra Coli" on the various message boards.

 

AK 45 AR 15 Mosin Nagant
Stuff you know if you have an AK Stuff you know if you have an AR Stuff you know if you have a Mosin Nagant
It works though you have never cleaned it. Ever. You have $9 per ounce special non-detergent synthetic Teflon infused oil for cleaning. It was last cleaned in Berlin in 1945.
You are able to hit the broad side of a barn from inside. You are able to hit the broad side of a barn from 600 meters. You can hit the farm from two counties over.
Cheap mags are fun to buy. Cheap mags melt. What's a mag?
Your safety can be heard from 300 meters away. You can silently flip off the safety with your finger on the trigger. What's a safety?
Your rifle comes with a cheap nylon sling. Your rifle has a 9 point stealth tactical suspension system. You rifle has dog collars.
Your bayonet makes a good wire cutter. Your bayonet is actually a pretty good steak knife. Your bayonet is longer than your leg.
You can put a .30" hole through 12" of oak, if you can hit it. You can put one hole in a paper target at 100 meters with 30 rounds. You can knock down everyone else's target with the shock wave of your bullet going downrange.
When out of ammo your rifle will nominally pass as a club. When out of ammo, your rifle makes a great wiffle bat. When out of ammo, your rifle makes a supreme war club, pike, boat oar, tent pole, or firewood.
Recoil is manageable, even fun. What's recoil? Recoil is often used to relocate shoulders thrown out by the previous shot.
Your sight adjustment goes to "10", and you've never bothered moving it. Your sight adjustment is incremented in fractions of minute of angle. Your sight adjustment goes to 12 miles and you've actually tried it.
Your rifle can be used by any two bit nation's most illiterate conscripts to fight elite forces worldwide. Your rifle is used by elite forces worldwide to fight two bit nations' most illiterate conscripts. Your rifle has fought against itself and won every time.
Your rifle won some revolutions. Your rifle won the Cold War. Your rifle won a pole vault event.
You paid $350. You paid $900. You paid $59.95.
You buy cheap ammo by the case. You lovingly reload precision crafted rounds one by one. You dig your ammo out of a farmer's field in Ukraine and it works just fine.
You can intimidate your foe with the bayonet mounted. You foes laugh when you mount your bayonet. You can bayonet your foe on the other side of the river without leaving the comfort of your hole.
Service life, 50 years. Service life, 40 years. Service life, 100 years, and counting.
It's easier to buy a new rifle when you want to change cartridge sizes. You can change cartridge sizes with the push of a couple of pins and a new upper. You believe no real man would dare risk the ridicule of his friends by suggesting there is anything but 7.62x54r.
You can repair your rifle with a big hammer and a swift kick. You can repair your rifle by taking it to a certified gunsmith, it's under warranty! If your rifle breaks, you buy a new one.
You consider it a badge of honor when you get your handguards burst into flames. You consider it a badge of honor when you shoot a sub-MOA 5 shot group. You consider it a badge of honor when you cycle 5 rounds without the aid of a 2x4.
After a long day the range you relax by watching "Red Dawn". After a long day at the range you relax by watching "Blackhawk Down". After a long day at the range you relax by visiting the chiropractor.
After cleaning your rifle you have a strong urge for a stiff shot of Vodka. After cleaning your rifle you have a strong urge for hotdogs and apple pie. After cleaning your rifle you have a strong urge for shishkabob.
You can accessorize you rifle with a new muzzle brake or a nice stock set. Your rifle's accessories are eight times more valuable than your rifle. Your rifle's accessory is a small tin can with a funny lid, but it's buried under an apartment building somewhere in Budapest.
Your rifle's finish is varnish and paint. Your rifle's finish is Teflon and high tech polymers. Your rifle's finish is low grade shellac, cosmoline and Olga's toe nails.
Your wife tolerates your autographed framed picture of Mikhail Kalashnikov. Your wife tolerates your autographed framed picture of Eugene Stoner. You're not sure there WERE cameras to photograph Sergei Mosin.
Late at night you sometimes have to fight the urge to hold your rifle over your head and shout "Wolverines!" Late at night you sometimes have to fight the urge to clear your house, slicing the pie from room to room. Late at night, you sometimes have to fight the urge to dig a fighting trench in the the yard to sleep in.
There you have it.  In the end, it is clear to any open minded inquirer that the Mosin Nagant is the most superior weapon of all time, but the AR and the AK come out as a draw when compared side by side.

Wanna learn more about Mosin Nagant?

It wasn't so hard to see, after all

Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.

Finland makes broadband a legal right
icy; Thursday, October 15, 2009Reads: 306

 I posted this reply to newtech message board after somebody (Eddie) asked for opinions.

"... Yeah I was just reading it this morning. Suddenly I felt bad for Finlanders. Socialized broadband; that's what it is! We are so above and beyond that level of civilization. I am free to live in an area where there is only one provider and I am grateful for the opportunity to abide by that sole provider's rules; so long as that provider is not bound by any law to provide me with the quality service I so chose to believe I deserve. Legal right my tea bags ..."

To my amusement it took people a couple of posts to get that I am actually being sarcastic  The news article in question is Tech Crunch: "Applause For Finland: First Country To Make Broadband Access A Legal Right"

After a while I could not help myself and posted this as a reply.

"... Hah! We are living in crazy times. Nowadays almost everybody is a half-crazed, blood-thirsty, swashbuckling pirate. This is the age in which being a vampire is not just cool but super cool; having a tattoo and piercing is just picking up a new permanent accessory; having an alternative view is just being fashionable; being morbidly obese is normal; suing each other or taking out our guns and shooting everybody who happens to be around our vicinity and then taking out ourselves is the way to settle personal issues and differences; invading countries is referred to liberating them. No wonder we are having a hard time telling sarcasm from serious argument. Heck, I can't even tell whether a person is just plain crazy and talking to himself, or on the phone trying to convince his girlfriend to have threesome with his ex.

Finland thinking that fast, unobstructed access to the Internet is an individual's subjective right and that having every single citizen online, collaborating, sharing, connecting, producing and informing is an awesome thing. Finland being at the fore-front of civilization... Hah! I say again: legal right my teabag!..."

Here's the thread in topic.

I've been coding this site for myself since 2004. It will never be complete. I have accepted this. I'll always take one look at any part of it and wonder why I did what I did the way I did it and not this other way that could've been, not necessarily better, but, what if... Or some new framework will be released and I will be tempted to use the "new" one instead of the old one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. There is much truth to these words.

"A tailor can never mend his own dress." - Turkish proverb.
