Sleep Writing

Not sleeping much these days has made me realizing that I'm also not
writing much either.

Could probably use one to help solve the other.

big computers

had an epiphany rather early this morning:

we’re actually very large organic computers. we process info from our own version of the web, download info, chat, etc. and, it’s only a matter of time before the web we live in and the internet we live on merge to create one seamless database of universal and limitless access.

now marinate on that for a bit.

remembering a good book

my buddy peter wrote this while reflecting after his first few days in new york:
good photo and thought

it reminded me of this quote from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera:

'Franz said, "Beauty in the European sense has always had a premeditated quality to it. We've always had an aesthetic intention and a long-range plan. That's what enabled Western man to spend decades building a Gothic cathedral or a Renaissance piazza. The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It's unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Forms which are in themselves quite ugly turn up fortuitously, without design, in such incredible surroundings that they sparkle with a sudden wondrous poetry."'


just always thought this was a wonderful few turns of phrase.

an experiment

on a whim, i wanted to see if i could 'gauge' the emotional state of things using two ridiculously simple words and comparing their search volume.
it all started when i realized that a lot of people i know put their facebook status as "blah" from time to time.

sure enough, if you search "blah" on facebook/lexicon... there it is.
and it is slowly declining in recurrence over time.

then i thought i'd use big brother google to see what happens.
and this time i pitted "blah" vs "yay".
check it out:










admittedly, it's not an exact barometer. there are some random, unapplicable uses.

nonetheless, there is a trend (which makes me think there's some validity to it.
and, it looks like the yays have it.

the world may be becoming a better place after all.

i wish i could dance this good

electronic holiday spirit

what the fuck?!

who said it was cool to send me a picture of a sleigh, some puppies, or a snowflake and shit and then type a note--in some douchey italic/script typeface--about how we should reflect on our loved ones and our lives and rejoice and be thankful and shit.

seriously, an electronic note like that is the most worthless thing i've probably ever received.

wow, you took a whole lot of time to bcc me on an email into which you cut and pasted some clip-art and a quote. you're a fucking sweetheart.

what's more is that i don't know and haven't personally met a single person that's sent me one of these things.

it's worse than spam.
at least that meaningless drivel gets cut off by my junk filter.

and i've gotten at least 10 of them so far.

merry fucking christmas.
bitches.

rawr!

um, not cool

is everything ok with you?

i want your entire friend network to know.. so that your life becomes shit for the next two weeks as they slowly ask you one by one "if everything's okay" and then you have to explain away your nasty case of herpes.
