We saw everything as small metaphors for the origins of humanity. We hit all the major points. How did we get here? The war paint, the Tai Chi, fire, discovery, the commandments, friendship, love, jealousy, sacrifices, blessings, old technology and familiarity, unknown travelers of similar origins. Those who were in the exact same place in the past, doing the same basic things. Our version of the cycle was life changing and we represented all different aspects of humanity.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free. |

When I was growing up in the south Indian city of Madras, there were only two political parties that mattered; one was run by a former matinee idol, and the other was run by his former screenwriter. |
| Matt Damon |
Fame is really strange. One day you're not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply - yet everyone looks at you differently. |
| Jerry Garcia |
For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part. |

There is some information that an actor doesn't need, and that's okay. I can't control everything. I don't want to control everything. Sometimes, you want to control everything, and you want to know the size of the lens and stuff like that. I am so relaxed as an actor because I don't want to control everything. I just want to control my part. |

When I made my first film, I had hardly ever seen a camera before, and I was a young man when I arrived in Paris from the suburbs. At the time, I didn't talk much. I was very shy, so the bluff served me. I was telling people that I had no money, and that I knew how to make films, but I had no proof. |

Before my first child was born, I had nothing going on professionally really, and it's been a very blessed period of creativity for me since he arrived. It's very surreal. It's almost as if the babies are out there pulling strings somewhere, deciding what kind of life they want to be born into. |

Most of us live in a fog. It's like life is a movie we arrived to 20 minutes late. You know something important seems to be going on. But we can't figure out the story. We don't know what part we're supposed to play or what the plot is. |
| Sholom Aleichem |
There are people who have never been taught anything, and know everything, have never been anywhere, and understand everything, have never given a moment's thought to anything, and comprehend everything. 'Blessed hands' is the name bestowed on these fortunate beings. The world envies, honours and respects them. |

I think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out. |

Everything before that point was leading up to that exact moment, and yet none of it mattered.

The game with lit matches mattered.

In more detail: I dreamt I was in a car with a bunch of people that I knew and someone else was driving. I was in the back seat and we were turning on a road on the edge of a cliff. The car broke through the guard rail and fell a few stories. I felt a lapse in consciousness and regained it realizing something was jammed through my shoulder. It hurt and I was bleeding but I was thankful that it didn't pierce any of my major organs. Someone else in the car was moving around and trying to help me. They moved me a little and I felt a terrible pain, looked down and realized part of the frame of the car had broken and was poking through my abdomen. I spent a moment contemplating that a short length of time in agonizing pain separated me from death. Then I woke up.

I had some weird dreams last night. In one of them I was on a planet with people from earth and we were in a different part of the universe where you could see all sorts of other galaxies in the sky and there were two that were colliding and they lit up the whole sky with all sorts of yellow and purpley colors. There was this girl that was taking pictures and video of the whole thing trying to document it. She was walking through fields of tall grasses and these plains that were filled with very shallow water that had waves about twice as high as the depth of the water, but still shorter than the average person. The dream kept switching between this girl and a completely different place in time where these unrecognizable creatures were speaking in a language I didn't understand about the collision of the two galaxies. There were one or two other dreams I had in different REM cycles and I don't remember them at the moment.

Nothing like the moment you realize that the asshole who's tailgating you with his brights on when you're driving home from the bar is a cop. Maybe drunks panic and speed up? The gotcha moment is when s/he passes you way over the speed limit in a no passing zone.

So I hate that moment when your friend is in the middle of pouring out his soul and right at the moment of a reflecting silence a fart slips out of you. Like you have absolutely no control. This fart is too powerful that is surpasses any attempts at clenching. It has left your body before you can take appropriate action to cover it up. Its exposed and the truth comes out.....women do fart.

I had a dream that I was in a factory with giant crabs that were laying tons of eggs. Reed and I were running around this factory and then I fell and landed on my face. Then I grabbed a bunch of crab eggs and ran out of the factory and climbed a sand dune. I was trying to steal crab eggs so that I could have crabs in an aquarium. Pretty weird.

People write here about microplastics in the sea. I'll write about how I forgot my phone in the lost and found room. It all started a night before when I forgot my laptop charger in the law library. I was working with other students for Complexity homework. I was also stressed because of the AIDA project and this made me forget things and be very tired. I didn't even realize I forgot my charger until the end of the next day when my battery was low. The deadline for AIDA had just been pushed back again so I didn't need my laptop that night. Next morning I went to the law library, at the lost and found room to search for my charger. My excitement when I found it was so great that I didn't realize I left my phone on the desk there. Luckily, immediately after leaving the room I could sense that something was wrong. I felt incomplete without my phone. So, very embarrassed I turned back and faced the person in the room. She was amazed at how I left my phone in there after just recovering an...

Sometimes I think that determinism can exist to a degree, meaning every event is part the result of proceeding events and part stochastic. But if this is so, where does randomness come from?

My resignation letter I haven't sent yet: llo Ryan,
I regret to inform you my leaving of the company. I am mentally drained to the point where I no longer feel productive here. I have arrived at the conclusion that I cannot work on computers this much in a routine schedule.
I would love to work something out in the future, I think we have done great work together, however I can no longer continue this job. Sitting for 8 hours, 5 days a week, is something I just cannot do, regardless of location.
