The blackout game, also known as the fainting game, speed dreaming, or the choking game, is a game where a person causes themselves to pass out for a few seconds. Most people don't think it affects them that much, but it kills millions of brain cells. Some people hang themselves right before they choke themselves to die, just to make sure they pass out. Some people have a friend either press on the veins of their neck or have a friend hold them and push their stomach in. They do this so they pass out but stop right before they have a chance to die, but some people are too late.
Most people who do it are teenagers. They do it because they're friends do it most of the time. It's a bad idea, because people CAN die. DO NOT PLAY IT!

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
