    Ya brah, I was like 5-9 years old when I was thinking of that madness. It wasn't so much not believing there were other thinking minds out there, more that my life was one big Truman Show and everyone else was in on it but me. It wasn't for lack of empathy or self-centeredness as I was raised Catholic and was guilted away from either of those habits. More like the feeling that my life was one big movie that everyone other than me knew the script of. I was kind of both amused, blown away, and relieved upon taking several higher level collegiate electives in philosophy (and seeing the Truman Show) and realizing that components of philosophical arguments from my early to mid-childhood thoughts, wonders, and theories of the world and my role in it were topics that have been debated for centuries by scholars in existentialism, theology, epistemology, and metaphysics. Then my focus turned even further to sports and wahines as I entered double-digit years.

    I've read and studied a fair amount on the brain and knew there were some cross-sectional theories between it and classic philosophy, but had never looked any of those readings up. May do so now after you mention it!

    If Spicoli gets barrelled at Rhodey, South OC, Maine, or EMass and no one's there to see it and no kook caught it on their GoPro or lifeproofed i6, is it still shotting a tube? Who knows, but my stoke will be real!

    I agree........ How you are connected is law of attraction regardless of what you think and belief. And like you said every atom in your body is years old and they will exist for billions of years. Based on this theory scientists are creating a time machine. There is law that energy can never be created nor be destroyed but it is transfer from one form to another. On this basic principle a time machine will be based.

    Yeah......life is short so make it large .........one day or the other it has to end . Live each and every moment of your life. It is precious. My dad left me for forever when i was 12 and my mother had to work really hard for the survival. Now that its been years and i am kind of settle now. The only empty space in my life is because of my dad and no one can fill that void :(
