More Strange Dreams
I've been having these reoccurring dreams about missing my flights. I've been traveling a lot and generally get to the airport way ahead of time, with the exception of this last flight to DC where I in fact did wake up late. Reoccurring dreams always have meaning and insight into your feelings so here is basically what dreams about missing a ( Read more... ) -
Love Story
For the past year of my life I've been going through the motions of dating without ever actually feeling anything. I was heart broken and moved to another state, away from anything I've ever known, and I was fairly certain I would never experience love or happiness again. My emotions spiraled into depression and that led to self medication and a ( Read more... ) -
Another Vivid Dream
I had a very vivid dream last night, and of course when you have a dream that is memorable, they are essentially keen insights on your feelings or emotions about your current life. They're not necessarily a premonition, just an honest reflection about what you are experiencing played out by your mind in more or less coherent images. Here is what ( Read more... ) -
Change
I'm absolutely astonished about where I am in life right now. I'm not even sure what to think of it, but this is a good time to reflect since it's about time for an LJ post to wrap up the year. Plus, I'm very bored at work as you can tell by my stream of tweets this morning. I have to say, I never envisioned myself to be at where I am right now - ( Read more... ) -
Stupid People Need to Die
I have been absolutely livid about this for about a week now because I cannot believe the immaturity of some people. Madison Bannanashit is seriously psychotic and mentally unable to function properly. Not only is he a pathetic failed ugly tranny, but AFTER TWO YEARS OF NOT HAVING CONTACT WITH HIM, he is still trying to ruin my life. So a few days ( Read more... ) -
Evolution of Psychoactive Plants
The evolutionary advantage of producing psychoactive biochemicals is quite peculiar. Plants generally produce biochemicals to either protect themselves, or attract an organism that will help it in some way (Liu, Gao, Kang, & He, 2007). However, psychoactive plants don’t necessarily attract organisms, and they aren’t extremely harmful unless mass ( Read more... ) -
So tired and stressed
I wake up at 6:00 AM every morning to be at work by 7:30 AM. I work straight through until 4:30 PM because I'm working on two projects, writing a grant, setting up new equipment, and training a technician. I don't have time to eat. After work, I go to the gym and get some dinner at the mall food court. I get home around 7:00 PM to where I start my ( Read more... ) -
So Tired...
I am extremely exhausted and I have to be up in 4 hours, but I just can't sleep. I'm reflecting on my life, and that never goes well. I've been really busy lately. I'm trying to adjust to Oklahoma, dating again, writing grants, doing experiments, training the other guys in the lab, writing programs for the museum, meetings, meetings, classes at UTD ( Read more... ) -
Evolutionary Psychology of Homosexuality
One of the most baffling paradoxes of psychological evolution is the prevalence of homosexual behavior. Recent evidence suggests that homosexuality has genetic correlates that influence differences in hormones as well as development of certain brain areas compared to heterosexual individuals (Swaab, 2008). Because homosexuality has a genetic ( Read more... ) -
Jumbled Thoughts
I've been thinking a lot lately about my life and what I should make of it. I find it silly that one of the people who understands the least about it is actually myself. I was talking to Lisa yesterday about what I was currently doing and I just became baffled as to how I got to this point in my life. A few years ago, I wasn't even thinking about ( Read more... )
