( ⋆ ) I never realized how easy it was to fall once you've gotten back up ( ⋆ ). ( ⋆ ) I've spent a long portion of my life trying to leave parts of myself, ( ⋆ ) like a snake molting its skin. Or like pruning a bush of its branches ( ⋆ ). But I'm not a snake, and I'm not a bush. I am a human being, whatever that means. ( ⋆ ) ( ⋆ ) I know many people who are many things. I know a cloudy glass…
I've noticed that when I talk, I often copy those around me. I copy others so often that I wonder — how much of my voice belongs to me? How often do I speak through others' tongues? Or an alternate perspective. All of those voices belong to me. Thus, my voice is the voice of the world. It is the voice of my life. This can be extended to all parts of me. Every action I take, every decision I make,…
Its been a good while since my last blog and I have been busy busy busy! I'm in college at Texas A&M as part of the Physics Program and I'm 100% enjoying myself learning about physics. The class I'm most excited about is my Intro to Quantum Mechanics class. I'm getting to learn what I've already known about quantum mechanics in a structured, rigorous way, and as a result a lot of what I've missed…
I haven't posted here in about 2 months!! Wow!! Ironically, my last post was about how I should be posting more. I'm gonna try to not beat myself too much about it. I've found yelling at myself for this find of thing doesn't help much. When that happens, it's like I'm hitting a wall. Rather than push through, I'll to find another way. Let's keep things more free. A lot of ideas have been running…
It has been way too long since my last post. Goes to show how terrible I am at keeping daily tasks — some I can do, some I can't. Though, maybe I'm just approaching all of this the wrong way. I think I'm handling too many things at once. Some interests need to be put aside for now while I work on my presenting PhysicsWeb , but I keep getting distracted. So, I attempt to focus on just that, but…
I feel a bit tired right now so I don't feel like writing anything heavy. So, I'll put some quotes that I've collected from random books. Some of these are maybe spoilers for Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint? If you start making guesses at the plot then I guess they might be spoilers. 5 Of My Favorite Quotations: “A life without unfulfilled desire is not what you want. A life without unfulfilled…
I just wanted to clarify something that I said in my previous post . The deliberately created "soul" of the art may also encompass the skill of the artist. It can represent the hours put into practice, extreme technical precision, or the constant trial in error in pursuit of perfection. The art doesn't require a "meaning" or "story" other than your own effort. Nevertheless, meaning and story are…
Young Stars at Home in Ancient Cluster — NASA I think I was wrong, in my earlier post where I wrote that: I think it is the artist's job to bring the beauty of things not normally seen to others' eyes, let it be through writing, screenplay, dance, etc. What brought about my doubts was Jacob Geller's most recent video, Art for no one . The video goes through several examples of art that weren't…
communication is a creative process she says. Words spill out of your squishy brain onto a keyboard and you must make sense of it. It is no longer the same as it was in your head. It has been written differently, taken a soul, a life of its own. Then it is interpreted differently than how you have written it. "Ah!" you say. "The bird has left the nest!". The Master of the Chun Mu-mun Master was…
It's funny how I said I was gonna blog everyday, blogged twice that day, then immediately stopped blogging lol. But I'm here now, and that's better than nothing. What's been happening recently? I got accepted into A&M University Honors, so A&M is becoming increasingly enticing as an option. I'm still going to wait until April 1st for the rest of my decisions to come back. Though, I'm not very…
