Post share my success

I wanted to thank everyone here who have made it possible to pass my resit 'integrative' examination on this day, the 20th of August. The funny thing is, i forced myself to do as little revision as possible as i knew it would have to be mostly waffle, with a few names and dates stuck in there, i was feeling bitter with the system- and thanks to you lot, it didn't turn out as i had speculated.

It turned out that all this talk of determinism came in really handy to balance up my views on 'free' and 'will'. Naturally, i had been up all night and i just couldn't stop reading on iidb- it came to eight am, and i knew it was time to pass some cannabinoids through my gut (mostly to improve the conduction across my cortical bits, for focus> and for a *snicker* at all the early birds)

Initially i sat staring at the article in dismay- a few pretentious sentences then- *snap* It was as though something was speaking through me- the theories jumped onto the page, bounced back and forth from the free to the determined in moments. The room shifted into oblivion as the dramatic air conditioning turned my reverie into a vast windy plain- voices stirring, words unknown, my language physically superfluous but filled with insights from a body of seasoned thinkers (salt and pepper, luv?).

yes, 'good' ideas come from the affected mind- reason seems plausible, driven by neurotransmitters, balanced by established facts. You know who you are who mentioned that one, bearing in mind i stuck a few extra lego bricks on top, booya!

BILL- you make the rules so i don't blame you if you put this one in the rant section (although you would be wiping your ass with my *thnk u* note- you helped me too)

and remember, may the force be with you.. always.
