DEEP THOUGHT 12
What's up? It's Lord Avanton talking about trust. It's a hard thing to earn and even harder to regain once broken. I find that it's easy to break trust and that's the terrible thing about it. You never know how to react in certain situations because one or more people's trust could be broken. I'm in a situation right now where I'm friends with two people who pretty much HATE each other. One of them is an ex and another is like a little sister to me. They can't seem to get along no matter how I try. They just REALLY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER. It's surprising how much hate can be stuck inside their 13-14 year old bodies. I was kinda scared when they first started talking about each other. Their eyes grew dark and their countenance totally changed. I can''t seem to find a way to bring them together. I've thought for weeks but if they're even NEAR each other, the air is sucked out of the room. It's like watching a two feral cats stalk each other. If I died and it brought them together, then it would be a good death. And if they were both about to die and I had to choose one of them. I would honestly try to save both and kill myself succeeding. Then maybe they would give up the fight. I mean GOD it's ENOUGH ALREADY! Get OVER each other!! They're both working on the Musical for my class Beauty and the Beast and it's gonna be hell. I'm just hoping that my headhunter classmates, WHICH IS NOT ALL OF THEM, won't pick up on this and make it worse. They are two of my closest friends and watching them fight tears me apart. Alright I'm done. Peace out.

DEEP THOUGHT 11.2
What's up? It's Lord Avanton. More on Cryonics! I've done a little more on the term paper, documenting how Cryonics got started and it's really interesting. It started with this guy called Robert Ettinger. The idea of cryonics started in his head when he read "The Jameson Satellite". In the story a guy named Professor Jameson who was dying of brain cancer launched himself into space. This was based on the mistaken belief that space was totally safe and wouldn't turn you inside out the second you got out of atmosphere. These were ignorant people ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, in the story, Jameson's body was preserved until a race of mechanical men rescued his body, saved his brain and installed it in one of their mechanical bodies. He lived as one of them for the rest of his days. This being said, I wonder though if there's a way to preserve bodies in a similar fashion instead of wasting all of this money on cryonics chambers and stuff like that. It's interesting though, because the brain thing works pretty well. Scientists have done it to hamsters with total brain recovery. A scientist did it to a rabbit but the rabbit showed signs of mental retardation. This experiment was totally inconsistent with nearly everything else anyone had ever achieved, making some believe that the experiment was a set up from the start. Whatever it was, it's one out of like, a million so hey, WHO THE HELL CARES?!?!? Oh, right, those anti-cryonics folks. It's just one more argument for their seemingly inexhaustible arsenal. Now I'm not taking sides, I've just seen that the con's outweigh the pros and you have to REALLY believe in this shit to have the balls to do it. That means that over 200 people have more balls than I do and you know what? Good for them! I'm just not that kind of person, maybe I will be later, who knows? Alright, I'm done here. Rate, comment, "and all that jazz". LOL Mr. Brady reference. All right, PEACE!!

DEEP THOUGHT #11.1
What's up everybody this is Lord Avanton. I'm getting back into the flow of blogging so I'll be publishing stuff pretty quickly. This DEEP THOUGHT will be on Cryonics! It's basically when a being is vitrified, chemically frozen, and then they are preserved for an undisclosed period of time. This normally happens when someone is dying of a disease that cannot be cured and they want to wait until a cure can be made in the future. So BOOM! In the freezer you go. This was developed by Robert Ettinger in the 1950's and he published his theory in 1962 in his book The Prospect of Immortality. Ettinger recently died in August 2012 from respiratory failure and his 92 year old body was vitrified and preserved in the same institute that he helped to create. He was 106th patient. Right, now it's time to go really deep for a little background, this is a excerpt from a paper I'm writing on this subject, "Death is the only thing in life that is certain. We all know that we
will perish one day. We are afraid of death. We are afraid because we don’t
know what lies beyond our mortal or earthly bodies. This uncertainty fuels our
desire to do as much as possible before we die. Thusly, science fiction novels
and games where the protagonist or several hundred members of a crew are
“frozen” in a large storage area for their preservation so the mission can be
completed catch our eyes and intrigue us. We may not know it, but
subconsciously, a little spark in the back of our brains ignites and we begin
to say, “Why can’t we cheat death?” The rational part of our brains however, keeps
us from voicing the seemingly absurd desires. For no one can cheat death, can
they?" Nice intro right? Yeah, don't lie to me. Anyway, here's another part, "The theory of cryonics stems from watching nature prepare organisms for
cold temperature for millions of years. Trees have twigs and branches that can
survive being frozen through direct exposure to liquid nitrogen after proper
natural prepping. They create an “antifreeze” solution that turns the bark to
glass when it reaches a certain temperature. Certain vertebrates such as frogs
and salamanders have adapted to expose their internal organs to severe freezing
temperatures and have recovered fully after thawing. The real heavyweights of
cold temperature survival however are the insects that can survive -75 C and
the fish that can operate at 1 degree below their freezing point." Cool no? You can be put in a freezer when you die and come back 200 years later or something. Alright this is all the time I have for right now. Comment and give me...FEEDBACK! Part two will be forthcoming! PEACE OUT!

DEEP THOUGHT #10/HOLIDAY RANT
HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR!!!!! What's up everyone this is Lord Avanton and I'm gonna be talking about the Holiday Season. Well not talk, rant. OK so the holidays absolutely SUCK! At least when you don't have any money. People fucking guilt trip you and you feel TERRIBLE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY GOT YOU AWESOME STUFF AND YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THEM A GIFT CARD!!!!! AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! It's just a waste of time! Do you really have time to go out, buy stuff for people(some whom you don't like) and then go broke? Do you really have to? NO AND NO! It's just the American culture of "Me, me, me, me". And that STUPID tree takes forever to put up and take down. If you want But I haven't even gotten to Halloween. So you want to go around and ask people who probably hate you for candy?!?!? How STUPID can you get? Like, really people, THINK! The candy could be doped, the apples could have razor blades in them still. The brownies could have marijuana. They still do that sometimes. And then there are the creepy houses that just don't open and you see silhouette's of people staring out at you. It's like "Dude. What the hell? How creepy can you freakin' GET?!?!?!? I'm just trying to get some damn candy!!" OK, so that's all I have for now. Comment and give me...FEEDBACK!!!

DEEP THOUGHT #9
Yo, what up. Lord Avanton here. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, as I've been busy. I'm gonna post about the brain. So my friend Antemortem made a post on her blog about Mind over Matter. I saw an interesting statement where she spoke about our brains' capacity. She was talking about how our brains could unlock more powers at intervals of 10%. I want to expound upon that. Say there's a way to actually unlock the rest of our potential. How do we get our narrow-minded race to look up from their tablets, video games, cell phones, and TV's to go and realize that they have a larger role to play? How do we turn on the 10% that we have so we can unlock the 20% and so on? People always talk about vibes, so what if you could actually feel them? Wouldn't you want to have a "early warning system" so that you could make decisions in a group more easily? You could read the feelings of the group and figure out the best course of action to take. Also, if it were possible that if your brain was more fully unlocked, you could have more powers or abilities like super-human strength or speed, maybe even flight and telekinesis. But our minds are so set inside our virtual reality and we don't want to change. It would take a tremendous display of power to convince the world that such abilities would be good thing. You would have to save hundreds of people from a natural disaster or save a country from a missile strike or something. We are so serious and skeptical that we have shut our minds in a box. I only hope that it can be unlocked before it is too late.

DEEP THOUGHT #8
Yo! What up everyone? It's me Lord Avanton coming to you with DEEP THOUGHT #8. This one's on PARENTS! I'm currently listening to the song "Talkin' 2 Myself" by Eminem and this is what it's like with some parents. You can't tell them ANYTHING because they'll overreact. My parents are a mix of that and the super-awesome nice parents who want to relate to you by giving you everything you want. Parents... where to begin? Ah, yes. Parents are cool because they want to help you. They may be annoying, but they want to help you. They want to be there for you, so therefore when they want you to tell them everything, its because they want to help you. But their's only one problem with that. THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION! They think (bless their souls) that they have all of the answers because they were once children. Well guess what, THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. There are some things that you can't answer completely. Sometimes we children have to take things into our own hands. Only sometimes, other times parents actually can help us. Alright my time is up. Comment and tell me your thoughts. Give me FEEDBACK! Alright, peace out.

DEEP THOUGHT #7
What's up everyone? This is Lord Avanton coming to you with DEEP THOUGHT #7. This one is one promises. I made a promise to a my girlfriend that I (unfortunately) was not be able to fulfill because of unforeseen family consequences. Luckily she's the forgiving kind that won't chop your head off if you don't keep a promise. I plan on getting her something for her birthday maybe some flowers or chocolates or some jewelery. I really hope for the last one, but I'm currently broke. DAMN YOU SCREEN ACTORS GUILD! Sorry, their's just not a lot of work for undiscovered child actors anymore. The TV shows stick with the tried and true so I never get a chance. OK Back to promises, Merriam-Webster defines a promise as: "a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified." It is also binding, so if you break it, people won't trust you and trust is HUGE in the world. My family's foundation is built on trust. If you don't have trust you have nothing. Alright, my times up. Comment and give me your feedback.
Peace,
Lord Avanton
Peace,
Lord Avanton
