            I get up at 6 am. I walk down the hall and get online, and answer my mail. I help get the kids ready for school. At 8 am, they leave and I bring breakfast down to the PC at lunchtime, I make a sandwich or something, and take 15 minutes to crank my amp and play a couple of songs, current favourites include 'Am I evil', 'Stand up for Rock n Roll', 'Hallowed be thy name', and 'Electric Eye'. I work through to 4:00, although the kids get home at 3:45. I make dinner, help with homework, clean the house, eat with the family, put the kids to bed, read to them, then usually come back to the PC to do some more work. Around 10, I go to bed and more often than not, make love to my wife before reading a few chapters of a book, and going to sleep It's normal, because it's what I am used to. And it differs from your life in at least three ways 1 - I earn decent money during my day 2 - I only cook food that I or my family will eat, and 3 - I have sex

            Yikes! I just listened to both 'Am I evil' and 'Electric Eye' on the way to work today. Hmmm so I guess I am somewhat normal, however my wife would disagree.

              Normal is a myth. You first need an agreed upon baseline by which to compare others against. So the real question I think is: what baseline constitutes normal that we judge all other experiences by? And why is that baseline considered normal? Its completely subjective. Is it Ozzie and Harriet and the Leave it to Beaver crowd? Is it the hedonistic Free-spirit crowd? Is it the ...

              I've heard more said about less.

                  not you. What do you do? Get up at 6am and shine your doorknob? Hit the forums seeing who you can piss off? See how much of a pain in the ass you can be to your neighbors? Oh, and let's not forget the mind-altering drugs that keeps you out of touch with actuality.

                  Wake up, get something to drink, smoke weed smoke a cig, go back to sleep, wake up, get something to drink, get on my computer for a minute, go back to sleep, wake up, get dressed, get something to drink, smoke a cig, smoke weed, eat something, get on my computer, go to work and smoke a cig along the way, do my work, come home blah blah blah. Its normal because *I* do it, and what I do is normal.

                      A surface normal, or simply normal, to a flat surface is a vector which is perpendicular to that surface. A normal to a non-flat surface at a point P on the surface is a vector perpendicular to the tangent plane to that surface at P. The word "normal" is also used as an adjective: a line normal to a plane, the normal component of a force, the normal vector, etc. The concept of normality generalizes to orthogonality.

                      Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
