Grimes - Genesis


I cannot believe my luck, or divine mercy, or eerie intuition.

I cannot fucking believe it.

My boss is quitting at my workplace. My writing doesn't want to be wrapped. My boss was one of the main great things about working at my workplace and working with him was one of the few good things Wichita bestowed upon me.

I missed the damn bastard, I miss him even more now after his farewell email. I'm not about to cry as much about him as I did over S. but it is quite a blow.

It was a hell of an honor to work for such a brilliant and understanding guy with leadership T.T

Mundus ipse est ingens deorum omnium templum
The world itself is a huge temple of all the gods

-Seneca

When I am called to pay taxes on life, I find some relief in the stoic meditations of yore.

I hope I always remember that Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and so on are a page away, a thought away.

But most importantly, I hope I can always meditate enough their teachings that it would stick once and for all and be part of my psyche.

I sometimes worry that I don't assimilate well enoug ideas that I find worth keeping and applying. 

But in the deafening silence of administrative procedures and the instabilities over my future, I realize that many things that used to get to me no longer get to me, and things I never faced before are easier to confront, perhaps not so much to deal with, but at least to confront in the first meeting.

So I am enclined to think that I understand how to deal with a range of life taxes, and that with more life, more diverse forms of life taxes come. And it may be that I need some first digestion and loss to adapt, assimilate and think them through first.

But in the end...

Oh fuck me, it just keeps getting hardcore and I hope I can keep getting hardcore with it as well.

A deep dive into the seas of a mind that promises to numb mine

Season 2 is so good, so good


If this series is going to age this way, it will be an amazing patchwork, an intelligent meditation in the african-american culture, the life and relationships dynamics around it and the individual caught up in all of it, either a puppet, driven by events, a social animal looking to survive and with no choice, or an individual dealing with one's own humanity and htat of those around them, close to them and hurt by them.

Also, Darius is just...oh man oh man XD...

A Single Spark


Of the several highs I can get in life, discovering a new director with a wealth of work that speaks to me and drowns me with every maifestations is their sea is the sweetest sweetest artistic annihilation that invades and lasts with me for long time.

Lee Chang Dong, where have you been hiding all this time?

Another reason why I do what I do

"The progress of science is the discovery at each step of a new order which gives unity to what had long seemed unlike.Faraday did this when he closed the link between electricity and magnetism.Clerk Maxwell did it when he linked both with light. Einstein linked time with space, mass with energy…

Science is nothing else than the search to discover unity in the wild variety of nature —or more exactly, in the variety of our experience."

Dr. Wenbin Yu
