Day light savings?

I could have sworn the hours had changed. For the past couple of days, my body has been feeling a stronger gravitational pull in the mornings, each step feeling like I’m going through knee-high thick mud. When I wake up the sky seems darker too, unlike the pre-dawn hue of 6 am I’m used to.
At […]

Birds, One Tree

You might remember some time ago
I posted a photo of this mural; Birds.

I’m happy to find another one, One Tree.

Apple

I ate an apple right after brushing my teeth.
Blagh. Might as well put toothpaste on my apple.

Internet

There’s a reason why we capitalize the word ‘Internet’. Internet just might be the greatest leap we’ve taken as a specie. Through feats in technology, we’ve created a virtual realm that mirrors our society; communication, social networks, libraries of knowledge, written histories, politics, art, music, trade, platforms for religion, prostitution, diaries, evil virus creators, cops, […]

Worms

The landlord helped me create a box garden in our back yard.
The feeling of soil on my hand is gentle. I feel connected and soothed. I love the scent. Gardners must be happy people.
I’ve been burying compost in the box, and recently I added a layer of cardboard which I covered with soil. I heard […]

Literally, i Pod.

Maybe, we are information gathering ‘pods’, filling up our memory chip with everything we experience.
Let’s say that our ‘pod’, through all our senses, gathers an astronomical amount of information every moment.
So much information that our conscious mind cannot understand.
Maybe, a moment is infinite.
Maybe, that’s what life is all about. Gathering information.
Our conscious self has a […]

Quiz - If you had to…

Two moral quizes:
Quiz 1
There are 20 sick people in a hospital, all of them have one malfunctioning organ (all different), and each need a donor to survive. One healthy person comes in the hospital, whose body would be able to provide for all 20 patients. Would it be morally right or wrong to ask that […]

Little People of the Spirit World

Babies come from another world, and into this one, they arrive!
They’re wide-eyed, eager to experience, what’s this? Life? No doubt, surprises everywhere.
Suppose you’re blind and placed in a room you’ve never been before, where laws of science are of a different kind.
Well, how about that! They bang their hands on a table, it’s hard. Hands […]

Quality Assurance Purposes

The subtle dust of everyday life has been mounting on me recently, mostly due to the hassle involved around my broken car and endless schoolwork. One thing I don’t need is my conversation with an insurance agent to be recorded for “quality assurance purposes”.
What does this mean anyway? If you live in America, you hear […]

College education

With larger numbers of people graduating with a BA, it’s almost a norm now, expected even, to have a BA when applying for a decent job. Yet, I contest that it doesn’t have to be this way.
I know lots of people who work in jobs completely unrelated to their major in college. What’s the point?
I […]
