Take care and good luck, you'll need it.

If you only tuck tail and run when adversity appears... when will you stop running?

Nothing exists... think about it: what's lies beyond everything? You probably got the same answer I got. Things do not necessarily have to be more than nothing... if nothing is everything it is still the only thing in all of everything. It's something, and nothing, at once

How could nothing not exist? You're not making any sense

If it wasn't for some real relationship between the sign and the signified then it couldn't have meaning and language would be impossible.

I can appreciate a lot of what you are saying. However, to me, this statement stuck out as a description of a logical absolute, that is to say, It appears as though (I don't doubt that you'll correct me if I've put words in your mouth...) that you're referring to something existing apart from subjective consciousness, and not contingent upon any other thing's existance and for that matter, a observer of any kind. Is this a fair assessment of your statement?

Yes, it is It is, though... also a position of faith on my part. I believe that there's a universe that has existed long before I came along, will continue to exist long after I leave, and which finds me largely irrelevant... I would never try to prove it though. For all my recognition that we are subjective beings who see at best a slice of this world we are in: I'm really quite materialistic, and a lover of science

I would say that Perceivers add new truths to the otherwise blank canvas of everything... that is to say: every view had by every perceiver is valid and real and true, but each is only a part of the whole, and that without all of them perceived at once from all angles, perspectives, distances: we cannot know what the 'reality' of all of it is.

Believe me, if any disney characters join, I'll be sure to let you, and only you, know right away.

Disney? Disney characters are only rarely cool, like Buzz Lightyear: he's one cool toy. Try Dreamworks.

Also, I'm not the jealous sort, nor do I belong to the wandering tribes of possessiveness. Share the newcomer with everyone, as a proper host would

Oh all right, I admit it. I was fucking with you but I didn't mean nothing by it. Guess I was just making something out of nothing. Somebody stop me.

I'm not actually sure how this is relevant, but I'm eating a loaf of bread bigger than both of my fists together. I'm a little put out, though, because I had to strip my shirt off my body, wave it around in the air, and sing the hitch to Rawhide thrice before I could put it back on.

The card said so. Weird how reality is so much more bizarre than fiction.

I do like that tune. "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play .. something something .. brown eyed girl .." mmm donuts!

Brown eyed handsom man, I think you mean. But hey, I don't blame you: they all look like sexy women when you're drunk.

You're either insane or pretending to be insane. It's futile to carry a conversation with someone who is totally irrational. If one day you do stand in front of an incoming train, I'll make sure that on your tombstone, it is written:

EVERYTHING EXISTS

RIP

I'm even willing to pay for the cost.

Take care sweetie, but remember that perception is not a myth but vital to your survival. Don't do anything foolish.
