Uri,
some people on the forum may not be ready to hear such harsh words.
like me :D
and, maybe, guard  ;D

Guard, can you send Uri the link for that football coach video?

Sigh.
But I guess they needed to be said.

k

im sorry kutan
the forum is amazing in so so many ways
and im as addicted as the next guy(or girl)
but its not our actual life
or maybe it is.
and that might be part of the problem.
weve been living so long in fantasy and virtual worlds.
now we shifted to another one
an amazing and the best possible one
but still virtual and intangible.
because its safer than the real world
but let us not be afraid of the real world
we have what it takes
ok u could tell i just spent an hour by rav shlachter

URI HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING

I AM NOT SURE IF IT MAKES YOUR POINT OR ARGUES AGAINST IT

A Streetcar Named Desire…
“In the film A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois, sliding into insanity, is one of the greatest and most challenging roles available to an actress.  In recent years, Ann Margret lost ten pounds and grew depressed and anxious playing Blanche. Jessica Lange got panic attacks.”
- National Public Radio, All Things Considered


The Joker …
Constantin Stanislavski developed an acting technique known simply as, The Method. Marlon Brando, Ann Bancroft, Robert DiNero and Christian Bale are just some of the more well-known method actors. Stanislavski detected a profound relationship between the human spirit and the body.  He taught that the careful altering of body motions and the conscious directing of the mind’s thoughts, could actually change a person’s chemistry and have a dramatic effect on feelings and emotions.  Researchers studying the same actor playing a depressing role and later a part from a comedy, reported that, “…data suggested that there was a correlation between the type of personality being performed and immune responsiveness.” The Method may have even contributed to one actors death. After being cast as the Joker, Keith Ledger locked himself in a hotel room for a month to “become” the psychopathic clown. One person recalled that, “Heath refused to talk to anyone out-of-character. If you tried to communicate normally he ignored you. He hung out on his days off still in character, freaking everyone out. Toward the end of filming, it was almost like he couldn’t connect with those who cared for him anymore.” Ledger died of an accidental overdose of sleeping pills before the film was released.

…And a Mystic
“External movements have the ability to awaken internal feelings
and emotions.  Though feelings often seem to be out of our
control, by consciously acting in a certain way, we can
gain mastery over our feelings.”
- Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, 18th century scholar and mystic

None of us is perfect. There are aspects of ourselves that we would all like to change. We all strive to develop ourselves, to polish our character, and to grow. Sometimes, when it comes to growth and change, to transforming aspects of our lives, it’s okay to be an actor. If you want to be a more patient person, try acting like a patient person even though you don’t feel like it.  Likewise, you can act the way a loving and empathetic person would act, act the way a responsible person would act, or act the way a generous person would act.

Long ago our tradition taught us what method actors have recently discovered:  That playing a superficial role has the power to trigger a deep transformation.

its different b.
but i have decided to drop this idea cause i think it actually makes pple sad.
i will just say that my original point was for pple to give each other space to leave the forum for periods.
and that i stick to firmly...

i really want to post about my therapy session cause it was really awesome and stretched to an hour and a half without us even noticing!
but theres alot of thoughts to pull together and organize in my head.
and i just got into a pretty big argument with my sister and father(which is pretty amazing being as i dont even speak to him!)so yea im a little dissoriented.
Sheyechaper avonos!

rebbe b - K'vodo better not retire until r' Guard finishes developing that vaccine. You, know for bD1S1, the new strain of bDS. ;D

Uri - keep the songs comin' young 'un! Oh, and You are in good company, for the Ariza"l has a little poem called "mah l'cho yitzri?", in which he refers to the YH as his (false) friend in a poetic way. It's in my siddur and in the siddur of R Yaakov Koppel, if you are interested...

I AM PUMPING SIMCHA WHEREBR I GO

I TELL EVERYONE AH FREILICH YOOOR!

I GET SOME QUIZZICAL STARES FROM THE YSHIVISH SET

BUT.. BUT.. I DONT LET GO TILL WE SQUEEZE OUT A SMILE!!

Uri, I just LOVE your thread, I think I'll crash here for the night (need to be up at about 3 AM).... g'night everyone from Jerusalem.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Hi, it's morning now (YAWN). Back from Slichos and Shacharis. Uri, it was very comfortable here. I just wanted to thank everyone for keeping it down on this thread here overnight. Noise really annoys me when I am trying to sleep.

:D :D :D Guard did any1 tell you u should become a comedian? (actually according to mr b you might permanently become one, so forget it we still need someone to echo on cliffs...)

Uri, You are totally right about the real life thingee. I just realized today. I had to physically restrain myself (well, almost anyway ;D) from checking the forum. And I was thinking, 'but this is supposed to teach me how to live life not how to run away from it'. I've done that for too long. If it does, than we've just replaced the addiction with another one. (a slightly funnier/flakier one , though ) I dont agree with the concern though. We give ppl space. No one is REQUIRED to come post, (unless ur in phone contact, but were talking about forum ) and when they come back, theyll know that ppl here sincerely care about them, and are worried when theyre away.
Besides, if this is a nice way of saying that you wont post so much anymore, FFOOOUUGGEEEEDDDABBBOOODDDDDIIIITTTTTTTT!

-btw, did anyone else realize that mom jst graduated from rebbetzin to rebbe? Congrats grad
