Privacy....

This is why I think privacy can be reduced in society; it's just a few people who actually benefit from having something to hide... Privacy is anti-social... :p well, in the general sense, i.e. I don't confuse general privacy with intimacy... they are separate.

Octopuses inside the box...

OCtopuses, the most brilliant invertebrate lack emotions, and yet exhibit a superior level of intelligence!...

Having had previous conversations about the role of emotion in humanity's progression. How does this new information shed light into a more complete explanation of our (humanity's) 'ascent'?

And how important is the key fact on relative speed! Time scales are so immensely important when identifying 'will' or 'concious intention' in causal change!... I only hope we can eventually prove Wolfram mistaken regarding our ability to 'think outside the box'.

Dan Gilbert: Exploring the frontiers of happiness

He starts off a little misguided (in my opinion, and as a later commenter points out), but then gets to very important core principals... Foresight its a doosy, ain't it?! :P

Para ciertas personas que siempre revisan con ansiedad si dejaron su carro o no.

Compartido por Marcos Lara...... ++ Pero, despues del comentario inicial, como que se dañó... no creo mucho en lo que el dijo no. Me lo encuentro short sighted y contradictorio a lo que dijo anteriormente... very short sighted

Se conocerán?

Cuando primero conoces a alguien: te cae bien, te atrea, despierta en ti una curiosidad. Pasan los dias y se van conociendo; la curiosidad se moldea; la atraccion se solidifica.

Y comienzan a nacer cualidades, las cosas agradables, que fascinan, que sonrojan o dan ganas de reir. Lo que logra que el tiempo compartido se comprima: las semanas en horas; y los meses en días.

Que más sucede? Se sigue conociendo? Será eso solo una etapa intermedia?

Quizas más adelante, como peculiar paradoja, luego, las cualidades, que se estudian y se viven en el contexto del tiempo; se hacen dificiles de listar, de categorizar, o más bien de desligar entre si.

Ya las cualidades no son extraibles por si solas, no tienen sentido sin el "excepto cuando estas triste", o el "excepto cuando la otra persona te relajó", o "excepto cuando te sientes que quedaste mal", o "excepto cuando no hay luna". Quizas entonces, en algún instante, despues de décadas de hablarse con la mirada, ahi es que se puede afirmar: Si, se conocen.

O, de veras se conocerán?

Thanksgiving Special...

Yesterday was a weird day, of thanks, reflection and retrospect... a deep feeling of unease overwhelmed me as I heard / thought through debate along the following lines:

Forever	vs	Till Whenever
this is something we need to work on together.		these things have to feel smooth...
I'm committed, I still need you.		nothing lasts forever, I'll be fine.
we started this for a reason; giving a little on ends leaves us both with alot.		thanks, but there's just no more here; we need to move on.
love is hard work and understanding and forgiving.		love is a fleeting thing
there's no such thing as love
Stay!		Goodbye!

I posted something here from my cell phone, but it seems it got lost... :/ It was along the lines of love being an idea, and different for different people, but still, generally, a good idea to live with! :p I envy my own parent's forever love; and I've seen their hard work, and their sacrifice... (on both sides).. a friend said yesterday:

I've given up on the local women here, their idea of a relationship is just someone to go out and have drinks with... no sense of it being a project, to grow into...

I also had other conversations around the notion... today, I am simply sad; for myself, and everyone else who couldn't get it right the first 5 times... not so sure about those who have never eaten from greener pastures... even though it always looks greener on the other side... :(

Doorbusting at Long Island Walmart leads to worker's death

The worker was an overnight store clerk who was simply trying to hold back the crowds before the doors officially opened at 5:00AM. According to Jimmy Overby, another employee at the store: "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me." Words to the wise: either do your Black Friday shopping from the safety of your own home, or be careful, cool, calm and collected when you venture out.

watch out!

quiero licencia para enamorarte,
buscar el alma en tu mirada,
amapolas en tus besos,
estrellas entre tus párpados.
Pero no puedo.
Quiero llevarte a mis mares,
para que navegemos:
nosotros entre las estrellas,
tu entre mis brazos,
y yo entre tus piernas.
