Saving My Face
So, before reading this post, read about Second Life to get an idea of what I’m talking about. For a long time, I’ve been trying to get my avatar (below) to match my face. You can go two ways in SL – be fantastical or be yourself. I’m currently lazy, so I opted for the…

The Summer Job
I felt like it a little overdue to describe what my job is this summer, but here goes. This year was the first time, almost ever, that I’ve had an over-supply of job offers which are actually legitimate. The feeling was awesome – I felt like a real person, and I highly suggest it. All…

HEAT
It doesn’t make much of a difference which side of the bars you’re on – you still feel the heat. —————————————————– My eyes peer out from my personal shadow; the guard leaning against the wall is relaxed.

Hedonism, Gregarity, Selflessness and Everything Nice
Lessons learned: It’s hard to change who you are, or maybe its just me. This was meant to be an experiment to see what variable X would be like enhanced for twenty-four hours, but it turned out to be more an experiment about whether or not I was capable of enhancing variable X. So, round-up…

Productivity
So this entry was a little late, but today is the day of Hedonism, so I’m fucking going to enjoy myself, which does not include blogging. I defined Productivity for my purposes as to produce as many tangible, finished items as possible. This didn’t happen, but I felt that it did. Starting at 7:30, I…

Impulsivity
A day of following in the moment impulses. For myself, I defined being impulsive as not thinking of the past or present (within limits, obviously). Like I said already, looking at my overall day, nothing changed on the macro-scale. I didn’t end up in Tahiti, sleep with 100 women, or anything memorable. What I did…
