The topic of motivation fascinates me, though I don't often get to talk about it. I think that with friends, it is a conversation that is tarnished by the possibility of #humblebrags. It is one of the last covert pissing contests.So nobody talks about it, except to decry when they themselves are not motivated. Jante's Law at its finest ( Read more... )

I've been playing a fair amount of Dungeon Keeper 2, because I enjoy it. Obviously. Also, I've been priming myself for understanding my experiences with Dungeon Keeper, the mobile app. As the app has been critically and universally panned, I am compelled to defend it because... that's who I am, I guess ( Read more... )

These days,my thoughts unerringly return to Capoeira. To its music, its movements, its flow, its history ( Read more... )

I have pruned some of my withered leaves, and yet it only feeds the creation of newer ones. The old vanguard does not grow any bigger.

I'm hoping that my new scope of [Nietzsche + Simone de Beauvoir] doesn't over-overextend me. I am *adoring* Pour une Morale de l'ambiguité. I am loving the conversations that are percolating within me. Tentatively ( Read more... )

Freedom or jail, clips inserted
A baby's being born same time a man is murdered

And also what defines my name

[Hook]
Yeah, long live the idols, may they never be your rivals

Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of ( Read more... )

I can't wait 'till when it's my time (I'm coming)
No I take that back, 'cause I got time (I'm coming)
I know that patience is virtue

Good call, K-Dot.

R, son frère, leurs amis et moi sommes en train de lire Pour une Morale de l'ambiguïté, un livre que je trouve fascinant.
J’adore que ça a été écrit lors des années de reconstruction juste après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. J’adore qu’elle envisageait ça comme la suite logique du travail de J-P Sartre (qui n’était pas en mesure, ou qui n’avait pas ( Read more... )

Je passe beaucoup de temps ces jours-ci à réfléchir au féminisme et à la foi.
J'ai longtemps cru que les hommes plus éduqués, plus érudits, ont plus tendance à appuyer le féminisme (projection?) Depuis que j'ai lu The Game (à propos des Pick-Up Artists, Cruiseurs de ( Read more... )

حضرت عرس صديقتي كريستين أمس يوم السبت في "سايت أستاش" وهي مدينة قريبة عن منتريال. كنتُ مدهشا للغاية لأنه كان الاحافال غير أصولي, ممتعا ومحترما في الوقت نفسي. ليس ذلك شيء سهل بل معقد بسبب ضرورة احترام رغبات أهلهما وتقاليدهم. هذا هو سبب من أسباب إزعاجي إزاء فكرة العرس. أعتفد أن العرس شيء مخلوفق لصالح أشخاص آخرين وليس لصالح ال العروس والعريس. من ال ( Read more... )
