• (1 vote) I feel sleepy lately.
  

  Hi
  
  I don’t know if this will help or not. However I suffer from depression. Sometimes, when I get depressed I stay in bed all day long because I don’t want to face the world. The weird thimg is this: When I do that, I feel b>more tired /b>. Conversly, on days when I keep myself busy I have lots of energy.
  
  It is weird, when one feels sleepy, one might go to bed, thinking it will make one feel better. Sometimes it makes one feel worse.
  
  Why not experiment? The next time you feel sleepy, go to bed for an hour or so. It might work. You might feel better when you get up. However, if going to bed for a while does not make you feel better, try taking more exercise instead. Go for a long walk, go running, cycling, swimming or whatever, play squash ot tennis or badminton on football.
  
  I think you might find squash particularly beneficial since you can get a lot of exercise playing squash but, because you are running about in such a small area, you don’t feel so tired. It is almost as though you can fool your body. Your eyes see a small squash court, you know that you are not travelling far and so, even though you are working up a sweat and getting lots of exercise, you don’t feel tired.
  
  I would be interested to know what works. Please let me know what you find out. Do you feel better with more sleep, or do you feel better with less sleep?
  
  I like to express this with a rule of my own invention, which says:
  
  The more you do, the more you find you can do.
  
  Best Wishes

• (1 vote) Is it more important to put up walls and shield ourselves from being hurt, or more important to be open?
  

  I think that being open is good, if you can trust the person you are being open with. However, people are not always trustworthy. Some people are vicious. With people like that, being open is simply giving them countless weapons, which they can use against you to hurt you.
  
  The question you have to ask yourself is: Does this person have my best interests at heart? Do not allow other people to determine the answer to this question for you. If a person wishes to hurt you, consciously or unconciously, they may charm all of your friends as a way of gaining power over you. Your friends will tell you he (or she) is nice, or she loves you, or whatever, and you may be tempted to believe them. But how do you feel after a day spent in the person’s company? Do you feel loved and appreciated, or do you feel hurt and sabotaged? Does the person make you feel good, or do they make you feel bad? Do you have more or less energy after spending time in their company? Do you love life more, as a result of being with them, or does life seem in some sense polluted by their company?
  
  Be open by all means. However, the moment you suspect that a person does not have your best interests at heart, be careful. Better still, the moment that you suspect a person does not have your best interests at heart, walk away. It is no use regretting damage, when the dame is done. A bad relationship can destroy you.
  
  Trust your instincts. If you are too withdrawn you will destroy yourself. No man (or woman) is an island, we all need people we can talk to in an open and honest way. However, if you feel threatened or sabotaged by anyone, say goodbye. You may have cause to regret it if you don’t.

• hey, so hopefully at least one person will give me some advice on my terrible lyrics :P please be honest, i wont be emotionally scarred,,,
  

  Hi
  
  I certainly can’t see anything wrong with your lyrics. At the same time, of course, the way the lyric is set to music is also important. It would be nice to hear the song. Could you make a video of yourself, singing it, and load it on YouTube?
  
  There is an awful lot of music on YouTube. As an exercise, I have created an index to some of Leonard Cohen’s work on YouTube. You can find that here:
  
  http://uk.geocities.com/leonard_cohen_fans/#LeonardCohenOnYouTube
  
  As you can see, from viewing the above link, YouTube could be a great way to bring your music to a wider audience. Of course, you might not want to make your music publicly available for copyright reasons. However, if you did, it would be like scattering bread on the waters, the fish would come to nibble it and one or two of them might bite on your hook!
  
  I hope the fishing analogy is not too lame?

• If you could have any one super power what would it be?
  

  [quote inevernowhattosa]First.. thats a stupid question… no offense, but the easy answer is the abitlty to copy poweres and abilitys from others.. then youd get EVERY power there was… its like asking if you had one wish what would it be…duh…1000 more wishes???
  
  plus i hate to say it, but basic science makes things like invisabiluty and flight imposable.. take invisability.. have you thoguht it through? is it jsut you thats invisable? what about your food? can you imagine talkign to some one and only being able to see what would basicly be a big ball of floating vomite???? also sight works by reflecting things withign you eye to make the images.. if you were invisable, you’d be blind too
  
  dont even get me started on flight lol[/quote]
  
  
  Surely the whole point with super powers is that they transcend science. Therefore the fact that “basic science makes things like invisabiluty and flight imposable” is irrelevant. When we are talking about super powers we are surely talking about some imaginary parallel universe, where normal rules and basic science do not apply.
  
  We are being playful here surely? Literal interpretations are a waste of time in the fantasy world that the ability to have super powers imnplies.
