Top 10 Reasons Why Life is Infinitely Better Reading Books
…and not watching movies. (This is in reference to non-fiction books, btw — and quality reads, not crap).
Movies leave you under a spell; an illusory haze so you cannot see. Books give control of the haze others are under.
Movies manufacture illusion without you knowing it, while books allow you to choose experience illusion, without decoupling [...]

Is Everything for Romance? Even with Successful Careers
just woke up, just water, wore black (Great), no food, no coffee before, energizing awesome convo. good. I saw a darren brown and david tennant clip (for darren’s tv show) and I relized that they went out into public to have a woman draw a picture and david was supposed to have predicted what she’d [...]
I like to swim upstream and my Future is my Past
I like to swim upstream. What this means? Life is a circular mote flowing downstream. Life’s a gigantic circular mote. Most people float and surrender to the currents’ of life’s river. And the unaware people don’t pick up on the fact that it’s merely one gigantic circle they keep revolving in. I’ve surrendered. I’ve let [...]
No More Religious Board Games! Anti-Christianity and Human Herbivore!
Finally, the best article on (anti) Christianity that I needed to read to reaffirm my new intentions, emerging beliefs, and values (Basically I’ve realized that all religions are just clever cult-worshipping myths. They’re just elaborate myths, fables. Jesus isn’t any different from the Hare in the tortoise and the hair or Buddha isn’t [...]
Getting And Staying Organized with UMSD
Basically this specific part is messy and infected with a lot of David Allen’s GTD muck. Frankly GTD is too bloated of an organizational system; you take on a lot of crap you don’t need if you use it. It has some great concepts but as a whole the system sucks. So [...]

Weexperience states from the inside, but they have external markers that canbe measured from the outside, like a particular frequency of brain waves,pulse rate, etc. But none of these [...]
The Human Race as Rogue
The human race is vagrant. It’s designed to be vagrant. We originated in Kenya. We’ve traveled, we’ve roamed. We’re itinerant. Vagrancy shouldn’t have a negative connotation. And neither should rogue – someone without a master, without consistent income, without land, without legitimate trade, but is healthy. A rogue [...]
POP Suite Part 4: Electronic Organization and "Brain Trust" Part 2
If there’s one thing I have to say about electronic organization, it’s this: close open loops FAST! I’ve surfed the net many a time and accumulated 8 open windows, and over 30 tabs in less than an hour. That’s a lot to sort through. Just develop the habit of executing lightning-fast [...]

Welcome back to the Productivity and Organizational Progress (POP) Suite. Today we’re talking about electronic organization.
We’re jumping straight to the nitty gritty here. In today’s age, “paper-based organization” is an incredibly small percentage of the organization management we conduct; mostly all of it is electronic.

Remember Some Old Art Projects
Here’s a desk I painted my Junior year of Highschool.
And this was the year-long art project of (I think) 4th grade and 6th grade, respectively.
I’d done pinch pots, but The canvas one was an amazingly cool effect (painting over your masterpiece black and then scratching off to reveal color)

Remembering the 90s…Music Videos
digg_url = ‘http://validatelife.blogspot.com/2008/07/remembering-90smusic-videos.html’;I first discovered MTV in the 90s. Once the 21st century hit, I had peeled off into other interests, and if I hit up the MTV Channel post-90s I usually get bombarded with some rapper I don’t know decorated in “bling” or some odd band whose acoustics don’t really tickle my fancy.
