It's not the shape of the fish that will inspire the physical arousal but what about its vibrating spasms when it's out of the water and gasping for oxygen? You might think this is totally sick but we do know from erotic literature that young women have experimented with conger eels for example! Combined with special carving on the scales to add friction and enhance stimulation, the ultimate female vibrator is sure to shock women's senses. Why should we only read about it in erotic literature and not turn the fantasy into a real life experience? Sometimes I wonder where the adult toy industry gets its inspiration and research ideas from...

Life is An Airport
After all we are all just doing what we do as we ponder what awaits us above the mysterious sky that strides the end of runway. But it's what we do and how we do it before we hear the announcement to "make your way to the departure lounge" that's so interesting.
Come over, take a seat next to me here by the check in board and just watch as life is performed in front of your very eyes. Every aspect of humanity will show it's self to you I promise :)
Let's start over there at the check in desk. Check out the guy screaming away at the poor rep, this is the perfect place to start. Now you can tell how this guy navigates life, it's his fault he's missed his flight, the gate closed 10 minutes ago but he's not going to take the blame oh no! It's everyone else's fault from the motorway to the operating rules of the airport but not for one minute is he going to admit to himself that he should have allowed more time for the journey, for he can't have made an error .... that just can't be!! For if he admitted this to himself his whole world my collapse around him :) how many people do you know that live their lives like that.
Now I look over and smile at the brave 18 year old girl who stands alone next to her suit case and looks terrified! She epitomises the spirit and ambition of the young.
She's not sure what she's looking for but she know's that life is for living and fulfilment is only found by those who break away from the safety of familiarity and go out there in to the unknown and seek it out. I want to go over squeeze her hand and give her some words of encouragement for I admire her courage and part of me wishes I was going on that journey with her, fortune favours the brave sister! ;)
My hart drops as I look towards the departure gates for here is the hardest aspect that life will ever hit us with. A man tries to hard to fight back the tears as he watches his wife of 50 years let's go of his hand for the very last time. For her final call has come and the departure lounge awaits her. That Question that we all put to the back of our minds is etched over both their tear stained faces. Is this the very last time or do they meet again in some final destination? I feel a lump in my throat as I have to look away, I wish we knew the answer to that question! I can't help it thinking what a profound change to our lives it would cause if we did, whether it made us realise just how precious and short life really is or maybe that there is a judgment awaiting us on how we lived it.
Then my spirits are lifted a little as I cast my eye's over to the bar and observe a twenty some thing guy and his mates meeting the news of another delay with a cheer and the raise of their beer glasses. I can't help laughing for no matter the proven dark side of drink and drugs I'd argue there are few better times in this life than the times spent in the bars with the your chosen family when time stands still and all life's ill's cease to exist for a while, I chuckle again to myself ... good on ya boys :)
Then my attention is swiftly taken by the screams of joy that emanate from the arrivals hall and bounce around like a breeze of good feeling that touches everyone it passes. That prodigal person who means so much to someone has returned. It reminds me how amazing it is, the profound effect people have on each other, at it's best changes a life for ever and at it's darkest ends one or worse. It's easy to forget hey! the effect we have on those around us, a fact we all forget to often I fear. Still let's enjoy the upside for a moment as a son is embraced by his family as finally he's returned from far off adventures. That's what's life's all about! right there in that embrace, being held by those who mean everything, for no matter where we've been or where we going we all need someone to love and to miss in equal measures those who tell you different just wish it was not so.
It's then I notice the lost and found spot and feel in all it's intensity the full irony of life. A small child cries in the arms of a police officer, her mother long gone as she hopes that faith will be able to give this young one a better shot of life than she ever could. That's the true reality of life we all struggle with , the pure lottery of it all. As at one side of the room we witnessed the unbridled joy of a family reunited, next we see it's anti christ communicated in the whales of a child who may never know what the unconditional love of a family would have bought. Where it's easy to play the blame game and point finger's at the mum we don't know the story and never will. We don't know her circumstances and the life she lead that brought her to this point and decision. It's one of the hardest facts this life has to dish out, life's not fair and some no matter how much we wish otherwise some are destined to live one full of pain and suffer. Still we can still wish, I can't take my eyes of the crying child... good luck kid!
Even though they will do nothing to aid you, my thoughts are with you :'(
I stare on at the child and sigh as an Indian couple block his view and for a moment at least become a welcome distraction. The progress in air travel raises another big aspect of this life to me. You see the appearance of this couple from a foreign land will and does create very different reactions from very different people. To me it's a welcome site as culture's inter-mingle and mix, learning so much from each other. To other's however this is the worst site imaginable!! people from different countries and even worse different coloured skin invading!! I've never understood why a skin tone can cause so much pain hurt and war, I mean why does it matter?? If their hart beats true than their alright right??
Wrong!! It seems a lot of people in this world need a reason for hate and if you look different then that's good enough! It's gotta be one of the most depressing facts of life! I often wonder what an alien species would think if they looked down on this world and saw all the devastation caused by nothing more than a skin tone. I guess they would think the truth ... what a primitive life form we are!
So they we are yo! :) just 5 minutes of life played out in front of you but 5 mins that showed you some of the very best and the very worst that this life brings.
What about me? lol now your asking! me I'm a 29 year old who's still lost, why do you think I'm sitting here next to the destination board?!? I'm still working out where it is I wanna go. I've learned alot in my wait though and often learned the hard way, so if ya enjoyed our chat then take these things with you as you carry on your journey.
Remember what we saw and try to have more of a good effect then bad on the people around you. Remember people are what they are and not what what who you wish they were (keeping that close to your hart can save allot of pain trust :) ) and as you pass the airport bar remember that drink and drugs may give you an illusion of happiness but illusions are temporary and finding real happiness is a life long quest only achievable if you stay true to your self an don't fall into the trap of self denial which is all too easy! The most hopeful statement I can give though is it's all down to you! How you treat people and how you conduct yourself and it's never to late to stop, sit around, and watch for a while then change! :)
Yo it's been nice chatting with you but it's time I found my plane to catch!!
Bon Voyage
Who ever you may be! :) x

John Lennon got it wrong!
John Lennon once stated life is what happens when your making other plans a profound enough statement but then again open to much interpretation and in this bright sparks eyes it kinda fell short of the mark.
For you see to me life is what we forget about when we are making other plans or at least the really important aspects of it. Plans ladies and gentlemen, Plans are merely a life times distraction to keep our minds from wondering and pondering on those most profound and terrifying truths about life, the truth being we have no idea what the truth is and most probably could not come close to comprehending it if we didI mean what is life? Or more specifically what is reality? How do you define it? How do you even define "consciousness"??? For example a tree is classed as being alive and just like us is made up of cells but to the best of my knowledge a tree does not know it's alive because it has no state of consciousness.
This being the case I can only assume that being "conscious" is "being alive" rather than just alive. So if we accept that then the next question I guess is what creates consciousness? It would seem to me that the "procession of a brain" is the answer to that question. So what does a brain do and how does it give birth to consciousness? At it most basic function it would seem to me that a brain is there to process and make sense of the information feed to it by all the different senses of our body that once interpreted by the brain give us each our unique idea of reality and thus this is the first step of consciousness.
I guess then that in very simple terms the brain could be compared to a circuit board. A circuit bored that has senses attached such as a thermometer for sensing temperature aswell as light, sound, and movement senses etc all hooked up to a central processor (this being the brain) that interprets the information from these sensors to determine whether it's night or day, hot or cold and so on. All pretty straight forward so far but where it becomes really interesting is when we look at some of the other aspects of consciousness, things like drive, emotion, and sense of self. How is it a bunch of cells that receives and sends electrical signals can create theses phenomenas?? Where does sense of self come from?? It's the old adage "I think therefore I am" but just thinking about the ability to think is mind blowing in itself!! The answer to this I think (see what I did there) is the answer to everything! It opens up so many more questions that drags into the mix things like religion, afterlife, and whether a person has free will or their actions are all pre determined by the way their brain has developed inside them. Then we have to throw emotions and drive into the mix!
Are emotions and drive just another aspect of the brain the strength of which is determined purely by how well a brain has developed! Or do we have a soul??
The concept of a soul makes much more sense to me, the idea that or bodys and brain are nothing more than a vehicle that carries this life energy around for a while on its (our) short stay on planet earth before the human body dies and releases it again to go back to whence it came. If we are to believe in a sole I think we have to accept that we have no understanding of what life is at all and for this stage at least we are just hear for the ride. To be fair I think most of us do accept this, anyone who does not in my view shows arrogance to a ridiculous degree :)
this does for me however raise two very different arguments as to what consciousness is but what an exciting and all consuming argument it is!! It comes down to this I feel, is consciousness created purely by a heartbeat and electrical signals racing round a brain or is consciousness created by a soul that's been transferred into a body whilst it hangs round this planet for a while. I guess some would argue it's a religion V science argument but I'm not so sure it's a clear cut as that.
So the first argument, is consciousness created purely by a heartbeat and brain? Well if this is the case then surely we are nothing more than advanced robots that have a set life span and when our bodies die we cease to exist as quickly as we started to exist. I'm not sure that I like this idea but I can kind of see the logic. As I touched on earlier you can sort of compare us in very basic terms to computers in that we are merely entities that process data in our brains sent from our senses and as such we act and behave accordingly. The issue with this theory though is how and where do emotions and drive come into the equation? Can electrical signals in the brain really create these? Surely not!?! I guess the answer to this question maybe given to us one day in our far future because if the day comes that a robot is designed who starts to cry because it's lonely then the human has become god and as such in my view we're all fucked as it would clearly indicate that we are indeed just advanced biological robots with no sole and no judgment or after life when our time finally comes. If this is the case however it leads onto another massive question, if we are just advanced robots then what or the hell designed us!!!! If we some where in the future develop the ability to create consciousness out of circuit boards then something out there must have designed and created us right!?! The whole thing just comes full circle! Maybe God is some unimaginably advanced life form out there and our universe is sitting in a Petri dish as they continue to experiment as we do! Now the question is what created them?? Do they have a soul??
Oh Mr Lennon sir, what have you started ?? ;)

Tricky gumball ideas
I spotted this gumball machine selling "ideas" for half dollar each in East Village, NY. My first thought was, who really wants to pay half a dollar to buy a fortune cookie without the cookie? No thanks. But as I passed by, I suddenly changed my mind so I turned back to give it a try. This is the idea I got in my first try, "Buy a gumball machine and sell ideas for the low, low price of 25 cents"!! That was "funny" so I thought to try and see what other messages they had in store. Guess what I got next, "Buy a better idea"!!!
All right. I get it. I give up now. I just spent a dollar to buy something that basically laughs at me. Was it worth it? I don't know. On one hand the guile amused me even if it was a rip off. On the other, it was just 50 cents, what was I expecting??
I don't know...

Fisherman
This is my idea for a new restaurant that I don't believe exists anywhere yet. It will be called "Fisherman". It will be the spot where real fishermen hang out. After work they bring their own fresh fish and it gets cooked in traditional fishermen recipes. The fishermen pay nothing for their meal and extras and always get priority seating. In return, each fisherman offers a few extra fresh fish from his catch. The fish is then cooked and sold to regular customers who dine sitting next to real fishermen and learn interesting things about catching fish, how to cook them etc.

How to improve a creepy product!!
A lot of people don't know about it but there are companies that can make personalized urns of deceased people using facial reconstruction and 3D mapping software!! It's for people who want to keep their loved departed ones in an urn on the mantle. Fortunately, I don't have friends or family around me harboring such tastes. I've got an idea, however, that will enhance the product's experience. Make the eyes concave so they follow the person around the room. That's right! What's the point of having something so creepy in your room without turning it into a totally horrifying and spooky experience? lol

Best Toilet Environment Idea
It's a toilet that uses runoff water from your sink. It's totally safe and reduces water consumption. I think it's a beautiful idea. Kind of a strange thing to say about a toilet, but it is. A variation of it is to install a mini hand washing sink in the top of the toilet. Then all the water from just cleaning/disinfecting would go right into the tank. A set up that involves the shower as well as ultraviolet light for killing bacteria would be ace if it leads to no-harm unlimited flushing.
