Music That I Love
January 13th, 2009Blind eye to rEvolution
July 13th, 2008Something about coffee, Shpongle, and sitting in my room in front of the computer just gets my thoughts racing.
Coffee — just some random Folgers my mom got me — Thanks mom.
Shpongle — electronic music I was introduced to by my friend Emery Clark. — This is my favorite song they do –> Shpongle – Divine Moments of Truth
Computer — eh, you get the visual.

Think about it
February 15th, 2008There comes a time in every person’s life, or at least I would hope so, where one ponders the what-ifs of yesteryear.
There’s an old saying “I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger…”
I truly believe every person will eventually say this; the point to be made is when.
As a Senior in my Undergraduate institution, I have already discovered this phenomenon. I’m not placing myself above anyone else by claiming I’ve already had the epiphany. All I’m saying is that I’ve had it.
As a Freshman I had potential. I had resources. I had everything at my finger-tips, a scientist working for NASA, a cluster of machines in a room begging me to come play. Instead I chose other means, and I regret this today because I can only imagine, if given more time with Dr. Porter, all the things I could have accomplished here.
Now don’t get me wrong, I have done some great things with Dr. Porter this past year. I am also not down on myself for staying up till 4am playing video games and playing pranks with my hall-mates. These things helped define who I am, and college is a learning process.
I truly wonder about many people in this college ‘game.’ How many years will it take before they realize they didn’t take their education seriously… one? two? five? twenty? never?!
Bleh, just some of my ramblings.

January 7th, 2008This is the first paragraph of my statement. I might post the rest if this sparks any interest. (:
I find it increasingly hard to live without the speculation of life elsewhere in the Cosmos. How could it be that a single planet, orbiting a single star, revolving around a single arm of a single galaxy, in a single galaxy cluster is unique? The further I dive into the Cosmos, the more humble I become, and subsequently, the further my desire to dive even deeper. It is fascinating that something so complex, so utterly, unimaginably multifaceted could occupy the thoughts of a twenty something year old more than anything else in the world. It is precisely because of this complexity that it occupies my mind. Astronomy and astrophysics have become my passion. I want to know more at all times; I have an insatiable appetite for astrophysics. Looking up at the stars for most people is inspiring every once in a while, but often taken for granted. For me, looking up at the stars can be quite dangerous. Minutes translate into hours as body heat uniformly dissipates from everywhere except my head, because my mind is spinning immeasurably fast in immense battles of neurotransmitters and chemical reactions creating more heat than even the sun, or so it feels.
