Guilty

Guilty! WoOoOoOow! Guilty! I feeel... so... eeempty, yeeeah, eempty, you know how to make me feeel...

I just told Marcelo about my story with Leila, and I feel kinda guilty about the last part of it (when I hurt her by ripping our friendship apart, shred by painful shred). I hurt too by doing so, but it is naught compared to what I have already felt before. As I narrated my story, I was happy, excited about my plan, but I also felt a bit repulsed by my own treacherous scheming. I would like to stop intentionally trying to hurt her. Stop, ego, you are vindicated and healed now. You do not need more of her hurt. Relax, enjoy yourself, be at peace. She is now a neutral entity towards whom you do not feel awkward, excited, or hateful about. She lives her life, you live yours. You may interact with her, but be kind and generous, as with all other people. :) Enjoy Life.

Sincerity is very important

*UPDATE: I never wrote anything on this entry. Strange.

Pittsburgh Banking






















A collection of the banks I've found in Pittsburgh. What strikes me as strange is the absence of big banks I knew about before (in TX) such as BoA, Chase, and Wells Fargo.

Shower handle design

Someone thinks green looks like "warm":


It gave me the impression I'd be getting Sprite or something.

Bleed it out

I took Linkin Park's song pretty seriously:





Apparently I can clench my fist tightly enough to make my fingers burst. It sure was not a cut...

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

Projection extrapolation

Shadows are the projection of light sources through our 3-D world upon a 2-D space. They move, they shift, in corresponding continuity to our world.
Could our 3-D objects be the projection of... 4-D light sources through a 4-D world into our 3-D space? Iterative projections...



Neville and Fifth

I took this while turning right at an intersection last night. Would've been way better if The camera had been sober.

I knew it was time to take it out because we were getting noticeably less sunlight in the kitchen.

You can't see it in the picture, but the juice bottle on the left costs $1.00.

I walked with a robot yesterday




Her name is Grace.



and I got candy for doing so.

I was a test subject in an experiment to determine human reactions/feelings while walking in a hallway with Grace rolling in the same hallway in the opposite direction. As we walked, our eyes crossed, and she rolled to the side to give me more space to walk in. Four times.

Grocery misclassification

Green oranges and red mango! What will these people think of next?

My memory's achievement this morning

To get that 54, I had to look at those color buttons light up 1+2+3+..+52+53+54 = (54)*(55)/2 = 1485 times, and to press them a slightly lower number of times.

Sequence:

And no, no cheating.

Cheaper gas




$0.90 is not a small discount if it's per gallon:

Does it serve any purpose?
