While I initially thought that my stay at home would be short, it ended up being longer than originally anticipated. Due to this, I haven’t had much time to post on here. I should be posting again starting tomorrow.
If anyone has suggestions on post topics, from questions about countries, cultures, ideas, feelings, or issues to [...]

A break for a day…

Today I will take a break, not because I have nothing about which I could write, but rather that I have some pressing matters to which I need to attend. Fung Wah Bus.
Before I get myself into writing a long-winded “I will not write” which may put one to sleep at a faster rate [...]
A few contentions…
Posted in Contentions, Reflections on 2008/02/14 | 1 Comment »
The history before us teaches lessons and stories,
yet why do we stand plagiarizing its tragedies?
If our bodies are apart of us and we sanctify them,
are not our hearts to be treated as precious gems?
Time and time again we see time pass moment after moment,
yet ignorant are remain of our present contentment…
Why do we only see [...]
Distractions and “lack of focus”
Posted in Reflections on 2008/02/13 | Leave a Comment »
For all of us who haven’t studied formally any art of discipline or contemplated on our own the self-evident truths behind concentration and focus, we have probably lost focus and/or fell into a distraction (or many).
The fact of the matter is that distractions are just one part of not having focus. While focus is important [...]
Body Parts! A History of Consciousness…?

Today I will keep this post as short as possible. It’s been a long day, and the fact that I’ve yet again changed the topic of my master’s thesis doesn’t bode well for my longstanding trouble with focusing on any one research topic. Whenever one finds something to work on, new light springs [...]
Sounds…

So, as I briefly mentioned in an earlier post, I was reading an academic book on the history of sound. One particular chapter I was told to concentrate on for reasons irrelevant to this blog was about the stethoscope and the revolution it made in medicine. For all of you who are uncertain about what [...]
Passwords and reading…

Sorry about the password-protected post, it was a bit personal. While I don’t mind most people reading it, having it randomly read would be a bit unnerving. So, if interested, I could send you (the reader) the password, otherwise, it was nice just to write it.
In any case, I am currently reading a novel called [...]

Hey…everyone? Not sure if anyone is actually around since it has been almost a year and a half since I’ve really posted anything here. I’m thinking perhaps I should start posting more, but then again, this is something which I’ve said to myself a countless number of times since I first decided to [...]
