Thanks for the replies, I've decided I'm gonna go with the vegan protein I have. Maybe even incorporate a multivitamin when I make some money. Also I got iodine drops today. Wow man I don't know how this stuff works but I'm feeling sexy right now I just feel blessed this stuff is crazy!

haha that me LOL bro XD. Yeah carbs are delicious, mmmmm carbs! I workout about 3 times a week sometimes more and cardio about 1-3 days so protein and carbs are MI FRIEND .

I feel you my brotha. I am lucky, so now I just gotta wait . Thanks for the replies bro!

The problem with proteins like just hemp is they don't have enough. Like a 30g scoop will contain only about 14g of protein. Same goes for brown rice. I've heard about the amino acids though however I'M A BEAST I NEED DAT GOOOOOD STUFF hahaha

Soy protein tends to be the one that's easiest to find xD, I could get it anytime of the day but I've heard it's not good for males? Also on the cannabis part, yeah not gonna happen haha. The vegan protein I have does however contain 4grams of Organic Hemp Protein Concentrate. Don't really know what that is LoL.

Being a fellow Canadian, I feel like there is no longer such thing. It's impossible to call yourself a "Canadian" because now it is just a title like human. It is so multicultural here and I love it . As for the friendly part, there's friendly people everywhere and there is also the opposite. I've only been to Ottawa a couple times so I don't remember the friendliness scale there XD. I feel like everyone should watch The Trailer Park Boys atleast once in there life. It's HILARIOUS! But don't watch it too much because you'll start talking like em and acting stupid haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etkarB72RbE

This shit pisses me off

so we have a fellow RATM fan here XD I know pretty bad ass right haha I'm doing something don't worry , I'll hit you guys up here on tao bums when I succeed

I do don't I? XD I dunno man this stuff just gets to me sometimes, life is good and what not but when I remember about this kinda stuff it pisses me off. Doesn't mean I'm gonna let it take over me though, I just felt like venting

Alright so lately there has been this weird senstation on my left ear, as if something is touching it. I constantly brush my ear thinking there's soemthing there but nothing. I've also been experiencing emotions like fear when it comes to bedtime, which I thought was a thing of the past. It really creeps me out. Also I can't seem to sleep on my right side anymore, the sensation gets so bad on my left ear that I'm forced to sleep on my left side. I just want things to go back to the way they where, this not being able to sleep at night shit is pissing me off. Please if you know anything or how to get rid of it, hit me up! Also I'm not down for no crazy stuff about entities and crap, that's the last thing I need. If I hear that I'll be shitting bricks XD. THANKS PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I know of XD. My hearing is pretty good.

Thanks to everyone for the replys! The feeling is still there but slowing going away, I'm just not paying as much attention to it as I was before. Went into bed last night feeling like a boss big smile and what not, no more fear. My sleep was kinda messed up though, I woke up about every hour or two than would go back to sleep. OH OH !!! THE BEST PART!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's about like 10cm of snow outside and I wake up this morning to sun beeming in my eyes and 3 birds chilling on the lamp post chirping XD. I thought I was dreaming at first cause it sounded as if it was spring outside, I brought my pops into the room to validate that I wasn't dreaming . Pretty awesome way to start of the day This whole situation was a little problem, I just elevated to a point where it didn't need to go. I will try to control the urge to post "help" threads, as it just implies that there is something wrong and I need help . Today is gonna be a good day like every other day (: I tend to forget a lot but when I remember....

Thank's for the reply , I have a bunch of questions though if you dont mind. What do you mean by spirit attachment? I was doing about like 10-20 minutes of half lotus a day. I would also do some mantra chanting, and just sitting and being silent in my room for whatever time. It's been more than a week now that I haven't done any meditation or the other stuff, it started around after I stopped my practice. As for my dreams, they are all over the place. I can usually remember my dreams pretty well but I can't seem to recall any of my recent dreams. I can only get bits and pieces which don't mean anything(I have a bunch of dreams a night, I also tend to dream fairly easy and quick). What do you mean by my grandmother is whipsering in my ear? Why the would she be doing such a thing? I'm sort of confused here. ^you also lost me here, I have no clue what you are talking about . If you could please be so kind to go deeper or send me a PM, it would greatly be appreciated (:

That is awesome my friend . I have been feeling like that also lately but it usually goes away, but when it does all it take's is silence to bring it back(not really bring it back it's more of a remembering thing). I think it's great that you shared this with us, it surely did put a smile on my face . IMO I think everyone should just see this as it is, not put there own labels on it or judge. Today is a good day (:

So in my years of getting coldsores it seems diet is usually what triggers them. In the past couple days I went from eating fairly healthy to eating crap XD. Some things were good such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, but the thing is I ate way too much of them. I usually balance my intake of yin and yang but I thought eh why not let loose and poof woke up today with two big ass cold sores, only getting bigger in growth XD. I know its my bodys way of getting rid of the crap I put it in but in the mean time how do I get this two big ass blisters off my lip . I know lots of water is good, I'm already on that. I'm also drinking lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice/water combination. In the past I've used aloe vera which worked wonders but don't have any of that stuff or tea trea. I even put some earwax on it lmfao that didn't work . I have coldsore medication too but I prefer AU NATURAL. It might be too late to balance the yin with yang but I'm going all yin baby. What's cooler than cool? ICE COLD!

hot foods. Not literally hot but they have heat in them. I grew up with my mom always telling me "Don't eat too much of that it's too hot!" I would look at her like "O.o MA FOODS CAN'T BE HOT!" . Than I realize it for myself and she says mama is always right . There's a bunch of food's that are yang, I'm no expert I just go by what this app on my phone says. It has a list of hot(yang) & cold(yin) foods so you can balance the intake of both. Taking too much of one has different side effects like the cold sore I am experiencing, I ate too much nuts, bread, oatmeal, cinnamon, hakka food XD I think I might have squeezed a full frozen pizza in there too lmfao!

A while back I made a dish out of mungbeans. I soaked them overnight then the next day in a pan on medium heat with some EVOO sauted some chopped onions, lots of garlic, some ginger, banana pepper(spicy one), chopped up tomatoes. I let that cook for a bit than I added the mungbeans. I stired it up, a tiny bit of sea salt, some black pepper, lots of basil, a splash of soy sauce(low sodium). Man was that good, it would have been better with some rice but I only had pita bread at the time(eating it plain would be good too). Been trying to cut out wheat and sugar but it's hard in my house XD, I was raised on that pita bread son!(pita bread suprisingly has no sugar in it I don't know if the nutrition facts are true). Oh yeah I have a question, are eggs an ok food to be eating daily? For the past 3 months I've been having 2-5 eggs daily, always adding some black pepper to balance yin&yang . If you have an android phone there's this great app called "Chi-eating" it has a list a great list of different cold and hot foods so you can have balance. It's awesome

From a very young age I could see different colours and strobes of light floating around. If I look at someone for a good amount of time I can also see different colours of light surrounding them. Never really paid any attention to it, it scared me as a child. I used to be visited by these beings of light, my father would tell me when I was a kid I point at corners and say "GOD! GOD!" XD. I can still see somethings but I don't pay any attention to them as I see them as distractions and my mind playing tricks on me

I thought it would be fun to pretend I was Rumi XD so I wrote something in his style. ENJOI . "The wine that is spoken of in spirituality is not a wine that is material, in which it's effects fade away. It's a wine that once drunk, there is no going back. Such is a wine I want to taste, all else is a bitter lie filled with headache." -ARAB

They say you can't change someone, and that they must change on their own. I believe this but how the heck can you at least help them. Hypnosis? ANYTHING! Honestly F*** every thing I've ever said on tao bums I don't give a rats ass about enlightenment or any of that, I want my family back to normal. My parent's can't do anything about this so it is up to me knowing and seeing more than they have(related to this situation). I love my brother so much but I absolutely despise his actions. He smokes weed( yeah some of you will say its ok, na not when your 17 and you smoke it everyday at least minimum once a day), binge drinks every fucking weekend, steals, disrespects everyone including himself the most. I've had enough for covering his ass, every day I gotta lie to my parents to say he's a good kid(they know he smokes and drinks). Now my parents have become smarter so they know whats going on but they sure don't fucking know he has a bong in his room which he smokes before school and as soon as they leave the house(sometimes even when there home), or that when we hang out he ditches me to go smoke with his friends. My dad tells me to just let him be, ok I can see that but its been almost 2 years of watching my brother smoke in front of my face, I can't do it anymore. He basically walks all over me. I try to talk to him but as soon as I start he tells me to shut the fuck up and leave. How the heck do you talk to someone like that. I can't sit around waiting for a miracle anymore, my mom is going crazy she cries all the time and my dad is already in bad shape as it is. I just broke his bong right now. For the meantime I'm going to completely cut him off meaning no more buying him food,giving him rides, nothing. The fucked up part is I don't really have any friends so I resort to hanging out with my brother and his druggy friends. It sucks ass hanging out with them cause all they do is get high than I drive them around to get munchies. Fuck me. I promised my self I'm not hanging out with anyone of them anymore, they just bring me down and don't help me at all. I'm not the best role model either because I used to do the same shit he did(I've been clean for 2 years now) and I don't have a job right now and I haven't started college yet. Yeah sure I stopped on my own by realizing that stuff has no future but for my brother to see that, it will take him another 10 years(dont tell me its because of that shit i say hes still where he is that's bullshit). It's like the movie matrix, even if he stopped, all the friends around him, music, tv, food all the shit is just gonna pull him down again. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CHANGE SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN, there must be a way. This is for my parents if he wants to do that stuff thats his decision but my parents have already been through so much. My mom works more than 60 hours a week to come him to this shit, it kills me. Please guys just stop what your doing right now, help me please. Help my family. How much can you love someone, he has so much love coming to him from everyone yet none of it gets through. He has too much that he resorts to this shit. My moms doing a no meat fast for my brother, the 10 days is almost up. Please pray for him, if we all do this together we can help him please.

I don't know about you bums, but I usually make commitments and never stick with them. They say change is inevitable but I don't want my commitment to change, I want to change to stick with my commitments. Who's in? Sometimes it's best to keep things to yourself but if we truly believe in what we want to do, telling others wouldn't matter and maybe we can create a real positive energy here to help each other out with our commitments. If you want to participate just make a post, if not than still make a post XD. I'll start it off. For one, I want to make a commitment to stick with my commitments. It's sad but sometimes I'm not true to myself which is pretty bad, I will change that though. I tend to hang out with others who bring me down to really low negative energies, I do this because I have no other friends to resort to and have told myself a million times I can't keep doing this but it's time for change (: . I would rather be alone with my thoughts than hang out with "friends" who don't know when enough is enough and just keep taking. I have brought this into my life so I can also take it out, all I have to do is not hang out with them anymore. I have only been able to take myself to a certain level, fear and old behavior have always brought me back to where I began. I can't keep failing so I must face my fears for what they are and see that old behavior isn't bringing me happiness right now. CHANGE IS GUUUUUUUUUD, LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ARAB OUT! (:

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. I have taken all of your thoughts and opinions into consideration. I would love to reply to all of you but I don't have the time. As for the ones who say I wronged him by breaking his bong and I should a buy a new one for him, there's a reason I broke it in the first place(he doesn't care he already forgot about it). I've been seeing this stuff happen for a while now but it's just when my parents get into, the part of me that accepts how my brother is gets turned off. I get pissed cause I see the situation from their perspective so I come to a place like this and try to see if I can get help. I understand I can't change him, thank you. Thank you for that. I went to the library yesterday and picked up 4 books. I love reading so this will keep my mind off things for a while too, thank you for that. The only book you suggested available at my library was: Emotional Awareness: Overcoming Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman Ph.D. The rest of the books are sort of in the same line as what you suggested but with different titles. Books to learn the art of persuasion and such, even if it doesn't work for my brother I'm sure it will still be good information to have for the future. Thank you.

I was pretty pissed off and just tired of everything happening when I wrote the initial post. I meditated for some bit, listened to the medicine buddha mantra(will continue to chant tonight) for my brother. I have a feeling that everything will be alright and things will start going well soon (: I think the fourth option is possible. It will just take remembering but where he is now I think that will be too much for him all at once. ^^^^^^ What do you mean by all that, it really confused me especially the doing the opposite and the last part. If you can expand and explain that it would greatly be appreciated. By the way sinfest, thanks a lot man your a gnarly dude . Thanks to everyone who's posting. Everything will be ok soon (:

I made a rap a couple weeks ago about some of my spiritual experiences and added a little bit about the tao bums in it it too XD it's serious in the beginning than in the end it gets all silly I was thinking about recording it and uploading it to here a couple times, who knows I might do it. I don't really know what this post is about but if you guys are writing a song, I'm down for some lyricism (that is if I can join the club )
