Nostalgic Classwork

Today I decided to learn a piano piece. It’ll probably take a very long time to learn it completely, and by then I’ll be in Europe. And who wants to spend their time indoors playing piano when they’re already in Europe, eh? Maybe I do! In the evenings, when staying inside is as good as [...]

Schucks

Proof I’m still a hopeless …

Kids of Slumdog Millionaire

In my previous post on Slumdog Millionaire I talked about how I wanted to see the child actors more. This article:

makes me ONLY want to see them. The adult Jamal and Latika can take their seat in the back. These kids are the real deal. They were such good actors because they weren’t really acting [...]

My New Apartment in France

So I have an address in France already. It’s in the city of St. Genis, one of the closer cities to CERN. People usually live in either France or Switzerland when they work at CERN, which is largely dependent upon their preference. I hear Switzerland is more urban, while the France side is more rural-like. [...]

Key to Happiness

is surrounding yourself with love.
But now where’s the door?
Two years ago, I went to Vietnam. I noticed that although people were generally poor, they were more loving than Americans. This Wednesday, I go for 3 weeks. A pause in my research, but a breath of life.
Physicists like to quote famous physicists. Since I aspire to [...]

Absorption

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I’ve become extremely engrossed in my project, that I’ve let some other aspects of my life slide. Namely, my humanity.
This occured to me when I was walking in Costco and I picked up a book called “The Longest Trip Home.” I couldn’t put it down. I so [...]

Back to the Future

This weekend I took some time off from working and some amazing things happened.
First, I went on an all day hike on Saturday. This brought me back to the memories of hiking with my friends in Yosemite and Santiago Peak. This time I hiked in the San Bernardino mountains, which included many switchbacks, a river [...]

Yikes, New People

So tomorrow I will be moving into my house with 4 new people. 2 of the 6 people in the house are a couple.
I hope I’ll be able to live peacefully and happily. That’s important to stay focus on what’s really important. Home is more a place for me to sleep, as I’ll be spending [...]

Artistic Sense

I’ve just been reminded, by indirect means, how far downhill my artistic endeavors have fallen. In other words, I have not been creating art for quite some time. My blog posts these days are usually a direct translation from thought to prose, with little effort to evoke emotion.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. I [...]

Bay Area in a Fraction of a Nutshell

Some of my co-workers from back home came up last Friday to visit the area, and I acted as sort of a guide.
It was a very busy weekend, but I unexpectedly wasn’t exhausted.
I wrote a schedule out for two hours on Thursday evening and pretty much it was followed. We hit every single destination. This [...]
