sooo yesterday was all kinds of crazy adventures,
that I’m not sure I should talk about here, but I had three hours’ sleep the night before that and four hours’ sleep last night and I feel dandy. Still waiting for the inevitable(?) crash.
In slightly more enjoyable news, after yesterday I think I’ve finally packed away the last of the neuroses that were stopping me from getting into a rhythm with the principle diet of the...

By Michael O’Hare, professor of public policy | 8/24/10
Welcome to Berkeley, probably still the best public university in the world. Meet your classmates, the best group of partners you can find anywhere. The percentages for grades on exams, papers, etc. in my courses always add up to 110% because that’s what I’ve learned to expect...
The Company You Keep

As per Wikipedia, these were the countries (in addition to the United States) that executed the most citizens in 2010: China, Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Syria, Bangladesh and Somalia.
Dictatorships, oppressive governments and communists, basically.
They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, so you’ll understand why the rest of us in the...

No offense, Everyone In The World,
but space. It’s right there.
All you have to do is:
1. Turn off all your lights,
2. Go outside,
3. Look up,
4. Shhhhhhhhh.
On a clear night you can see past everything.
life is just
your shadow in the tall grass.

so apparently
I could wake up at five thirty yesterday morning, rock it all day, stay up until midnight waiting for my housemate’s bus to arrive, pick him up, come back here and sit outside until three a.m looking at the stars and talking about ancient (ancient) civilisations, then wake up at six thirty, run up the ridgeline, run down the ridgeline and lift the roof off the garage. I’m not really...
Dear America,
I can’t find any front page mentions of the peaceful occupation of Wall Street on any of your major news sources. You were all over lauding the democratic spirit of the Middle East during the Arab Spring, but for some reason those same rules don’t apply to your own citizenry which are, let’s not forget, there to provide a system of checks and balances over your...

The Happiness Project Manifesto
jadorelavie:
To be happy, you need to consider feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth.
One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy; one of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.
The days are long, but the years are short.
You’re not happy unless you think you’re happy.
Your body matters.
Happiness is...
