Happy July

It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars.
- Arthur C. Clarke
What others think of us would be of little moment did it not, when known, so deeply tinge what we think of ourselves.
- Paul Valery
A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
- Thomas Mann".

Love all those quotes today. Not much to report. Work has been very challenging, busy, but rewarding. I've often wondered how to release stress. Stress comes, and then goes. Did I release it, or did I internalize it and did it do a sliver of damage? There is no biometric feedback on stress really..... I can't tell if I've relaxed enough to avoid damage, be it aging, graying, fat retention, or other more sinister effects.

I'm fairly certiain that working out improves things, but I guess I'm just a bit burnt on the whole scene. Its boring. ....but if it saves, extends, and improves your life, why not sacrifice the few hours a week?


I heard about a mite that re-evolved the ability to mate.

Reading a book by a Ms. Scary about Beauth and Truth. I simply can't believe she has to argue for beauty. Its simply bizarre that she has to fight this fight. I think there are horrendous affects of liberalism, post modern reduction, and constructionism. Its an outrage that they've robbed us, in the name of their truth, all that is good in this world, to avoid the establishment of objective standards.

I hope the next book by Ms. Scary is more accessible to the laypersons. This is an important subject.
