I've been high for three years. Today I decided to change that. Let's see how this goes. |

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential. |

What I am saying every day to Malawians is that time has come for us to move from aid to trade. We have picked several sectors that we think we can focus on immediately in order for us to grow our economy. So we have decided to diversify agriculture, we decided to develop our tourism sector, we have decided to develop our mining sector. |

The portrayal of women in Indian cinema, in Hindi cinema is definitely changing, and I have been fortunate to have been part of a lot of films that have contributed to that change. So people see me as a face of that change, and yes, that is because of the choices I've made, but there are lots of people who are working towards effecting this change. |

If the President says, oh, Washington's got to change, and people are doubting whether my change can really happen, I think instead what the public's begun to see is the change they're seeing is not the change they voted for. |

Art is not supposed to change the world, to change practical things, but to change perceptions. Art can change the way we see the world. Art can create an analogy. |

Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree. |

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. |

The truth doesn't change. It was the same when Moses got the Ten Commandments as it is today. That's the thing about the truth. That's the thing about real. It doesn't change and it doesn't have to change. Now you can put it in a different book, but it's still real. It's still the truth. |
| Isaac Asimov |
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. |

Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door. |

If we do nothing to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, by the end of this century the Earth will be as hot as it was 50 million years ago in the early Eocene, according to a new study out today in the journal Nature Communications. This period -- roughly 15 million years after dinosaurs went extinct and 49.8 million years before modern humans appeared on the scene -- was 16F to 25F warmer than the modern norm. [...] During the Eocene, it took more atmospheric CO2 to influence temperatures than it does today. In fact, if we don't change our behavior, 2100 will be as hot as the Eocene with much less atmospheric CO2 than was present at the time. A hotter sun means we get more bang for our CO2 buck. "Climate change denialists often mention that CO2 was high in the past, that it was warm in the past, so this means there's nothing to worry about," said lead study author Gavin Foster, a researcher in isotope geochemistry and paleoceanography at the United Kingdom's University of Sout...

Dear Diary, Today I thought about going to Chipoltay. I haven't decided if I'm going or not yet.

Two days ago I decided that yesterday would be the day I would start running every day. Today, I woke up to an extremely clean apartment instead. I guess I should like to myself more often.

Just caught up on all of my mail from the past 4 years. The pile I decided to throw away weighed about 30 pounds.

Though the oldest recorded human life was 122 years, there is no one that old today.

"I've always been a dreamer... when I was 14 I saw the Mr. Olympia contest and decided to pick up the weights... that same year I heard Eminem spit fire through my headphones and I decided to pick up a microphone. Even if my dreams never pan out, at least I won't go to the grave wondering if they could have." - BRO U AINT A RAPPER QUIT IT WIT THAT BS

The passenger pigeon went extinct in 1898. That means there are no living humans today that have seen one.
Crazy how every hundred years or so the world gets a whole new set of people.

I had this dream that I think I liked this girl from my high school and I had a friend that I was talking to about it. He decided later to tell this girl but he did not want to tell her exactly what I said because it was a secret. In my dream mind, the logical thing for him to tell her instead was that I liked her hair ties. I saw the girl later and she came up to me and said "I got you some hair ties" and raised her eyebrows at me. I think I said "what the hell" and then woke up.

In a small town, a cafe sits next to a lingerie boutique, displaying their personalities through their storefronts. Helga has been fitting bras and stocking the panty trends for decades, but business has waned over the years. She doesn’t remember how long ago Newton opened the cafe. She recalls being in her twenties, pretending to stock the storefront each day before lunch in hopes of catching a glimpse of the freshly baked goods he'd haul in for the afternoon special, and admire how with each step his dark hair would bounce into his eyes. Though she'd have liked to get to know him, she feared she could never hold a friendly interaction without any suggestiveness due to her association with lingerie, the only part of her identity he could be aware of. Thus, she avoided any chance to, for fear of coming on too strong and face rejection.

I had a small screwdriver in my backpack for probably 12 years. I use it to fix computers and harddrives. I've flown with it that whole time, probably 100 flights. Today at the Frankfurt airport they said they have to take it. It's not expensive or anything but it's so fucking stupid. It's theft.
