• The Government

    I've been thinking about how the Government is so corrupt . How they think that they can just lie to us and that we'll believe anything they say, just because a reporter says it. I wasn't born yesterday and I'd hardly believe that a News Reporter has never lied before. I also hate how everything we…
  • Is Everyone Here Make-believe?

    A thin, white sheet covered the ground upon awakening this morning. Everyone has been impatiently anticipating the snow for what seems like forever now; in a few months they all will be anticipating its disappearance. It has all melted away by this afternoon but I can't waited for real snow to s…
  • Ten-to-Midday

    Good Morning World. Just about, it is ten-to-midday. I'm feeling OK here, in my little bubble. I'm not venturing out too far because I don't want it to go pop. I don't feel like people other than my partner, we'll call her Angelina for the sake of anonymity, and even that's small doses. I feel mean…
  • Random Stuff

    This is me being quite pathetic, so I'll warn you now but I need a bit of a vent. Isolation is never good when you're manic, starving, and can't sleep for days. It's not exactly isolation because I have two people to talk to (randomly), but it *is* isolation considering that none of them really…
  • Pumped Up Kicks

    For me, the meaning of a song is not found in its lyrics. Rather, a listener must carefully tease out a song's message based on the way all musical elements (rhythm, key, instruments chosen, tone, etc.) all work together. Some lyrics are emphasized by repetition or an unexpected key change. Other wo…
  • Dealing With How To Deal

    Now listening to: Kings of Convenience - Scars on Land This morning I'm kind of blue. At least for now. That may well change later. Sort of how these things work. Actually, I've been down since last night. No particular reason. Well, maybe a reason or two. Or a perception of a reason or two.…
  • Isolation

    Honestly....the truth is I'm lonely. Even with two roommates from MIT I'm pretty lonely here in Mexico. We don't actually have that much conversation, especially Jackie and I. I work off by myself while they work together and in the office the language barrier alone is enough to isolate me. Part of…
  • The Popularity Illusion

    Popularity exists in every culture, in every corner of the world. Popularity is one of those things that only exists mentally but shows itself in many different ways: some visible, some not; we treat it as if it physically exists, standing over us and dictating the status of all the rest of us. Lik…
  • On Character-Conviction

    C o n v i c t i o n is... ...the ability to stand by something or someone, fight for them, when it's easier to walk away ...staying by your values and beliefs even if it means standing alone...chasing after what you want even if it means taking the longer road;the one full of uncertainty, or havin…
  • Isolation has benefits!

    We love the iPad! We are currently in isolation as HRH had a dose of radiation for his bone scan yesterday. Nothing showed up so we still don't know what is going on. I don't even know what the next step is as the Senior Registrar or Consultant have not been to see me yet. I have to tell you this…
