State of Being
Apr. 26th, 2008 08:19 amI'm just feeling emotionally drained and sad.
And busy - the world doesn't seem to stop when you just want to hide under a rock. Instead it just gives you more balls to juggle.
I feel like crying and having some sort of emotional break down. I start to cry for a couple of minutes when I suddenly realize that I have other things to do. This is becoming a daily thing. Sorry for all of these fun posts recently. I've received a wonderful and loving response from friends. It's all well and good, but I just need time to work things out and move on, tears or not. I'm not one to cry in front of others, but I don't feel much like company right now either.
I promise I'll snap out of it eventually. I also promise to win the Nobel Prize. Can't make any promises about the lottery, though ~ the numbers are bad.

More Faint
Apr. 26th, 2008 01:52 pmI'm highly impressed.
I'm really starting to like The Faint as a band. I never heard of them before![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corzican posted a video of theirs. Then I come across this homemade video for one of their songs, and figured it would be as dull as most other homemade videos I come across. I was pleasantly surprised. I know it's basic stuff overall in the world of graphics, but I still enjoyed it immensely.

Apr. 26th, 2008 02:55 pmI'm finishing up reading On Intelligence. The long ass chapter How The Cortex Works bogged me down with technical details that despite already knowing most of them kept tripping me up while reading.
Now I'm reading the chapter Consciousness and Creativity. The author is recounting a philosophical discussion with some other scientists in which he tried to prove to them that he's not a conscious being - only a Zombie. I just started laughing when I read it because it is so reminiscent of the reverse Turing question I posed back in December.
I'm so amazed at how many ideas this book mentions that are just like previous papers I've written in other classes, only not to the depth that his book goes. What can I say? The man has a good 20+ years worth of research and practical experience on me. However, given that the book was only published 4 years ago (after he worked a couple of years writing it), I'd like to think that I'm doing pretty well on my bell curve status regarding this area of intrigue.
