And just like that, Friday was taken up from the bow of dem ship and placed in the hands of the sea. And by de sea, I mean de thread about nothing. The Friday was once and for many years at once, the property of the Friday Thread, but now it seems that in the midst of a quirky twist of fate, and in the depths of wtf, it was stole up. The sense of it is hard to grasp, but in sense you only find nonsense anyways, so we rest in the lack of sense of this concept - rest here we shall, for a long trip across the sea does beckon. Back to the land, and by land I mean internet. So, with sure hands and ropes of hemp, we make a course for that reality that lives in the cables and the waves of the radio. We put up the sails. We rant. We take Friday.

The Joy of Napping
Tom Hodgkinson

There is little doubt that a nap is a natural part of our daily cycle, or 'circadian rhythms.' All our cycles are different. Yet, from schooldays on, the nap is frowned on as ineffective use of time....
I have heard of a technique for covert dozing, from a lowly office worker who had perfected the art of napping in the lavatory cubicle. He sat across the seat, leaned his head back on the toilet roll holder, the toilet roll making a comfy pillow, and jammed his feet up against the opposite wall. In this position, he said, he could doze happily for fifteen or twenty minutes.
It is a terrible state of affairs when we have become ashamed of napping. Shouldn't all offices provide day beds for their workers? The day bed is one of the few positive legacies of the Victorian age....
In China recently, the widespread custom of hsiuhsi, or afternoon nap, has taken a bashing from Western-style work schedules. "Our businessmen are being told by people in your country that sleeping in the afternoon is a sign of laziness," a traveler recently heard. "We are not lazy and do not wish to appear that way, so most people have given up hsiuhsi."

New generation infected by narcissism, says psychologist Kate Hagan
March 3, 2011

It's all about me ... psychologist warns of generational shift toward narcissism. Photo: Steve Baccon

AN ''EPIDEMIC of narcissism'' has swept across the student population in the past 30 years, a US expert will tell a conference on personality disorders in Melbourne today.

Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University, said a study she conducted of 16,000 university students across the US showed 30 per cent were narcissistic in psychological tests, compared with 15 per cent in 1982. ''They are all 18 and 19-year-olds, so this is clearly a generational shift,'' she said.

Professor Twenge said the finding built on another study based on interviews with 35,000 people of varying ages, who were asked if they had ever had symptoms of narcissism.

Advertisement: Story continues below ''Usually the oldest people have the highest rates, because they have lived for more years, but this data showed the opposite,'' she said. Only 3 per cent of those over 65 had had symptoms, but for people in their 20s it was 10 per cent.

''These were shocking numbers because you can only diagnose this starting at age 18, so there weren't that many years for people in their 20s to develop this, yet their rate was three times as high as people over 65.''

In a keynote address to the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders Congress, Professor Twenge will say that permissive parenting, celebrity culture and the internet are among the causes of the emerging narcissism epidemic.

She said telling children they were special to build self-esteem could foster narcissism.

Narcissists had an inflated sense of self, lacked empathy, were vain and materialistic and had an overblown sense of entitlement. Some resulting social trends were a greater interest in fame and wealth, more plastic surgery, and an increase in attention-seeking crimes - for example, ''beating someone up and putting it on YouTube''.

Professor Twenge was concerned about a culture ''that seems to not just accept narcissism but finds it laudatory … It worries me, when I talk to college students, that they are not surprised at all that their generation is more narcissistic.

''They say, 'We have to be this way because the world is more competitive.' But the problem is that narcissism doesn't help you compete. It blows up in your face eventually.''

She said narcissistic students tended to have poorer results and were more likely to drop out, probably because they thought they didn't have to study because they were already smart. ''It's delusional thinking.''

Was talking about this last night. my mum works with a lot of younger people and finds that they are less caring of others around them, but if you don't take notice of their issues or what is going on in their lives they get really annoyed. She constantly wishes she had older people to work with, as she finds this behaviour constantly draining to work with every day.

I don't think its true of all teenagers, my little bro is in this age category and he is very caring and thoughtful of those around him. But i have noticed this trend a lot of late with even kids on the tram with their music and not getting up for the elderly.

Joke of the day

I met a girl in the park the other day. There was a spark between us and she immediately dropped to her knees and laid on the grass at my feet.

As we were making love I thought "these taser guns are well worth the money "
