Yes, its called meditation in many cultures!. Often times many of the great thinkers in history have done just that!. I have in many cases stopped thinking about what has been puzzeling me and gone on to other things and then all of a sudden I have this eurika moment and everything falls into place!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have been talking to this extremely amazing italian guy in Rome, Italy for quite a few months!. I first met him on facebook, due to his charisma, and romantic yet aggressive attitude!. Since that day, we've communicated every day in every way possible such as webcam and phone!. Yes, we have already and continue to express our sexual attraction to each other!., and might I say for the records, it's true, Italians ARE the biggest in the pants ;p, I just can't wait until I am able to have him in person!. No, I can assure you, our relationship is NOT just purely a sexual attraction to each other,I'm thinking about transferring to John Cabot University this upcoming semester, and living with him!. What can I say!? The guy has truly wrapped himself around my heart!.The only thing really hesitating me is the fact that i'd be lowering myself into a lesser college!. I'm currently attending Yale University!. Oh what the h!.e!.l!.l, i guess its time for a spur of the moment, spontaneous thing to do, right!?

^^^^I would say that i've completely stopped thinking!. Life is too short to worry about things man!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My wife asks me all the time what I am thinking!. It is always something!.
