  1. If you value fit bodies over personality, it's ok, it isn't always shallow. I care more about what is typically thought of as deep, which is personality and kind/passionate men and women, but if you are into fitness yourself, it can be a shared bond between you and your significant other. It is only shallow when you aren't bonding over anything together. A person can be shallowly into personality when they won't date an interesting man or woman due to being good looking even if they are nice people. I dated a stereotypically good looking girl in HS, two actually, one for like a week, the other for 8 months. First one wasn't too good of a mix, but it was my first relationship, the second one was very interesting.
  2. I agree. I think we should take into account the topics we discuss with babies and kids but never dumb ourselves down. Maybe a slightly friendlier tone is ok, but nothing un-intelligible imo.
  3. They don't have to think exactly like me or be an Objectivist, simply they must be kind folks that are passionate about life. What about you?
  4. I've been enjoying Romance novels by Carla Neggers lately and the poetry of Rupi Kaur. I've also been composing lots of my own poetry lately.
  5. Here is my website: nakulan.bandcamp.com

    Santa Claus

    The difference between imaginary friends and Santa is that the kid invented the friend whereas the parent tells the child about Santa. Fiction works are known to be make-believe as well.

    Santa Claus

    Do you let your kids believe in Santa, or do you teach them about reality from a young age? RIght now, without kids, I don't believe in allowing children to have this delusion.
  8. Yes on all counts. Is that in contradiction with Rand's ethics?
  9. Happy Halloween! Here I am performing "The Michael Meyers Theme Song" from the film, "Halloween". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r0rRBJeGkg&lc=z23uttep5nuagpkdracdp432ld4nfgmcv1zqreebxcpw03c010c
  10. "Northern Lights" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8o7VM_ApTc&feature=youtu.be
  11. I'll tune in when I can. I'm interested in the drug and meditation ones, in particular.
  12. I think the moral of the story is flawed, but I find the thinking of the character intriguing being that I'm interested in therapy and enjoy studying maladaptive thinking and behaviors.
  13. I love this movie because I find the story touching, beautifully told and I think the sets are brilliant. The score also adds a nice touch! While I think the film went with the right ending, it's not one I support. It's all about evasion from reality and building up tall tales about your life to make it feel greater than it is rather than making your life great within reality. Anyone seen it and agree? I've also read the book, but I don't recall it as well.
  14. I think I'm done with those two, I'm happy with the way they came out. I was just curious about your critique; I was a bit confused by your post above relating to those two pieces. Some people, as I said, thought they were some of my best. The different criteria we carry, implicitly or explicitly, in assessing various Art work makes all the difference in what we feel about it.
  15. Would you just prefer a more interesting harmony on these two works?
  16. Mind you, I took lessons from age 3 to about 16, but studied the Suzuki Method which focuses on training the ear. But I can sight-read, just not stupendously. I do not score out my music, I simply record them, and when I need to re-learn a work, I do it with my ears.
  17. You have very nice tone on the piano. The piece was very much a Blues progression!
