I just realize that I update this journal less and less often. I am neglected the teeming millions that fawn over my every words. This is wrong and highly immoral (yet inexorably ethical. hahaha eat that!) This is a grave injustice that will be rectified in a most timely and effective manner. Or maybe not. Actually I'm pretty occupied with ( Read more... )

Well it's been a while since I posted so I figure I should appear in public once more (and not have one of my body doubles do it.) Things are going fine. Busy between trying to study more Arabic, learning Diff Eq. stuff, reading, etc. etc. The more arabic I learn, the more I really like it. It's a really cool language, plus I like the fact that ( Read more... )

Tonight I have begun my foray into the exciting and competitive realm of making Baklava. This has more or less been the accomplishment of this weekend. Other than that, ummmm haven't really done anything else but be idle. delightfully idle. oh well, gotta prepare for yet another week of fun fun fun (in the sun sun sun? not where i work) I ( Read more... )

Well haven't posted for a week or so, so I figure I should post something to let the teeming millions know that yes, indeed, I am still quite alive and well though not of sound mound in the vicinity of Los Angeles, which is ostensibly on Planet Earth (the jury's still out on that one). Not a hell of a whole lot going on. I'm currently reading Jay ( Read more... )

The following is something that I wrote a few weeks ago while sitting at the Hermosa Pier. I was just writing whatever came to mind. I guess just describing the scene from my view and thoughts. Parts of it I like, parts I don't, but either way I found it interesting. Maybe you will too ( Read more... )

Morning grey ignites a twisted mess of foreign shapes and sounds ( Read more... )

I was studying my Arabic (I think I have decided to continue studying it) and was listening to Hum. Suddenly I decided to write some thoughts that came to my head. They are three sketches, just written whatever came to mind. Basically took five minutes if that and wrote straight what came to mind. Sketches if you will. The first is the idea of ( Read more... )

This week has once more confirmed my paranoia... anytime you have a good weekend that means there's gonna be hell to pay during the week. Amazing within the first five minutes of your work week it can go from just another boring week to hell on earth. But at least we are almost halfway there. Another weekend will soon be up ( Read more... )

I have managed to have yet another mid-life crises this week at work. Staring at code and realizing that my job in no way is intellectually or artistically fulfilling. I gotta get into grad school where useless academics like myself can do our thing. Learn way more than necessary and write papers that no one reads (That's the life for me!) And ( Read more... )

Well I finally made myself try to do some writing. This is the crap that is the result. Enjoy all none of you that read this journal. The basic idea is that it's an old man at the end of his life. His wife has just died, and he is offering up a brief prayer and contemplation. I was actually intending on (and may still) write something about ( Read more... )
