The Mayan Calender doesn't end in 2012 (or 2006) because the Mayans oredicted the World would end in that year ... the Calender ends because the guy carving it broke his chisel.
Please stand by for alternate theses including; Got bored and went hunting, Got a job, Got laid off, Got the sack when the King found him collecting a goodly wage for carving calenders so far into the future the Mayans expected to have a pretty good printer by that time.
If you want some hard but constructive advice ... GET OUT and DON'T GO BACK ... or if it's your house, KICK HER OUT, LOCK IT UP AND GO ON HOLIDAY somewhere far away.
You have to remove yourself from the emotional destruction this woman intends to put you through. Understand this, you have given her great power over you and she would have to be a saint with no ego at all not to wield it against you with all her might. If the boot was on the other foot you would probably do the same.
Humans are not a nice animals. In fact out of all the animal world only dogs and cats will live with us. And that's only because they can freeload.
You were born alone, you'll die alone and you'll spend 80% or more of your life alone. Enjoy the good times you had in memory but try to find value out of the You time. Work, produce something that is only yours and find joy in that.
Love is just chemical activity in your body. It's over-rated and in some cases poisonous. My advice, contrary to my fellow philosophers Awesome and TwoDogs is that a paid rooty toot toot won't fix things, as you won't be getting what you want it will probably depress you more (with all due deference to Awesome's and TwoDog's sense of humor). No one has to be "in love" all the time, nor do they need to be "loved" all the time. What would be special about hormonal activity ... errr ... Lurv if it was there always (Hey look! I'm a freakin' romantic).
All the best to you, you're in good company. We're all on this site too. Even Awesome and TwoDogs.
But seriously, Vulcanic activity and plate techtonics (the movement of the plates of solid rock above the molten magma) are mechanisms and functions of the iron core which is responsible for protecting life on Earth from Solar radiation and particles. Without the roatating magnetic iron core we would have no protective magnetosphere. This magnetic "force field" protects us from the worst of the Sun's blast of charged particles and has allowed life to develope on Earth. Earth would be worse than Mars who's atmosphere has been blown away to a large extent by the Solar wind.
That may be little comfort to the many suffering people in Japan but without the tectoninc mechanisms that make up our planet there wouldnot be any Japanese or any people to populate this planet.
The Richter earthquake magnitude scale, assigns a single number to quantify the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake. It is a base-10 logarithmic scale obtained by calculating the logarithm of the combined horizontal amplitude (shaking amplitude) of the largest displacement from zero on a particular type of seismometer (Wood–Anderson torsion). So, for example, an earthquake that measures 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger than one that measures 4.0. The effective upper limit of measurement for the Richter Scale is just below 9 for local magnitudes and just below 10 when applied to large earthquakes.
Yep you can ... first understand what love is. It's just like understanding what fear is. Fear is a set of chemicals let loose into your blood stream to promote a fight or flight response. Many people don't understand that and think they are "scared". They are just prepared to fight or flee to preserve their life ... A much smaller slice of the population understand exactly what is happening (even if they don't know that chemicals are coursing through their arteries). They have had this happen to them many times before (often when they were beaten as children) and it holds no fear for them. They sense the hesitation in their opponent and take advantageby initiating a fight knowing their opponent will flee or curlup in a defensive ball after a half hearted defence.
Love is similar. It is chemicals making you want to mate with someone your primitive mind see as a suitable mate. And your prespective mate often knows that he/she already has you. So get control of your chemicals and find mate that your modern mind can meld with too. Don't expect that mate to be the embodiment of Brad Pitt / Angelina Jollie.
It's not romantic, but it's life. Remember, Nature hates a democracy and Nature hates a "level playing field". So find a field in which you can tip the scales. If you're no good at cricket try ten pin bowling. Which by the way is a great way to meet people.
As I've said in a previous post, I've already got the bookshops covered.
OH NOOOOOoooooooo ... Do I have any undies without holes in them ........................................................................................................................................ Do I have any undies?????
