Rachmaninov makes everything better, including rapid-fire work bullets whizzing by my head.
iPods and cellphones are incredibly powerful devices. I'm getting into them.
I privelege written communication over phone calls. Phone calls are for chatting, not laser-tight organization (which I am gaining ground on, but still uphill fighting as a result of my *current* environment and historical upbringing). Email, text messages - these things can be referenced. If people feel too free to use their mouths, they dump in all kinds of useless loads onto the information they should be transmitting. The meaningful signals are drowned out by noise - I eventually just see mouths moving, and my flight response is immediately triggered out of self-defense for my brain.
...its like mixing gatorade (meaningful data) with gallons of toilet water (bullshit talk candy-coating). I'm all for chit/chat and shit/shat, but it/that has a time and place and a place. On a related note, I frequently get a lot of my literature reading done on the can.
My analogies have been foul lately. I've been pretty fouled-out lately by a lot of things that needlessly waste energy. I'd like to shit these things out of my soul.
I'm happy, but frequently disgruntled by mechanical deficiencies in humans (including my own (human)).
