I find meaning in the future. When I think about what my people might accomplish- and the things they might experience- it’s enlivening. I’m starting a new project: describing and figuring out where I think technologies will go and how they can be applied. Just a fun thing, ya know- to get my mind excited about something again. Maybe when I’m 90 I’ll have a good laugh, or maybe I will have been right about some things. We’ll see.
I think then I’ll figure out what systems in the present need the most work.
more later, I’m sure.
Sometimes I think it’s a good thing that people constantly disappoint us. I’d rather have it in little doses than in one giant lump of betrayal. I mean, if you look at it the right way- it’s really much easier to deal with.
Today is good.
Juicing does wonders for one’s emotional health.
Got a lot done so far and it’s not even noon.
Next: List a bunch of stuff on Amazon & take the rest to good will.
Edit: Oh, 8 months ago the cheapest A&P text you could find was +$150 Well…. now it’s 1$- and THAT ladies and gentleman, is bullshit. Seriously-at that price, I want a full color digital text with automatic updating for the next 10years. but NOOOoooooo- that would just be silly!
Current Techies need to design a more efficient and fair yet still economically feasible system. Current professors need to consider their students- use older editions- write their own text books- assign reading from the college’s journal subscriptions, and put a little more energy into considerate innovation. The publishing company is no longer necessary. You can’t tell me that asking student’s to buy a 200$ text for each class that depreciates within one semester is in ANY way a sustainable system: ecologically OR socio-economically.
Ranting done.
Sometimes I get really scared for no reason. Sometimes I feel like my life is completely stagnant. Sometimes I worry worry worry about everything ever, and I am feeling all of that right now.
The internet is beautiful because there are always people who know how to express what we have a hard time saying. It’s a process. We’ll get through.
Excerpt from A.Watts video. I think I’ve watched this thing close to ten times over the years. Just makes so much sense to me and helps the world make a little more sense. The whole thing in it’s entirety can be found here, this is kinda just a zen-teaser (if such a thing exists).
THIS is why I want a Tablet with Photoshop. IMAGINE the possibilities.
Day 15, Month 1 (birds): Tablet in Photoshop
ALMOST exactly correct:
They forgot: “Pay Rent.”
This is exactly correct. - RH

Hit my head really hard on a key hook sticking out of the wall- that’s what happens when you trip over shoes and the dog while doing your hair and trying to get to the phone. Anyway- my head hurts and I didn’t make any juice and I’m working by myself today. At least its pretty outside.
Also- juicing is way more expensive than I thought it would be. I’ve had a few (5) really strong days: for financial reasons I’m going to have small healthy breakfasts, salads for lunch, and juices for snacks and dinner. So- now it’s a discipline fast with juice incorporated, rather than just a juice fast.
OY- I hope this head ache goes away at some point. Good thing I have a lot of hair, cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have a giant bruise on the top of my head.
OSTS Day 6= ongoing, even with a throbbing headache (aka: minor concussion).
