I think one great method of solving problems involves imagining a future civilization where the problem has already been resolved, as if it actually exists, going there, and bringing it back. It was something I did musically and otherwise, and found out that that is was something taught in some course, though I can't remember the name of the course.
And when looking for microotnal virtual midi controllers, I aame across this by accident, and thought of you. Doesn't look all that interesting, but at least it is not that expensive, and is a step.

I'm seriously toying with the idea of just throwing my clothing into my suitcase and moving to NYC.
Living with my mom just isn't a good idea.

Wouldnt it make more sense if children took their mothers last name as their middle name and a women never took her husbands last name?
Wouldnt this make lineage tracing easier?
I mean why do we have...

That last name thing is actually a good idea. I have been pondering that for a while now since I read that.

I got lots of incriminating stuff in my diary. It would change the rep of babygirl forever.

I mean why do we have middle names anyway? Just to make thing more specific. Last names have no purpose other that that you rarely ever know anyones last name, its just there to...

As I started writing this a tree branch that sounds pretty heavy has fallen on the roof above me.
It seems that the fury that is hurrcane Frances has mainly dropped tree branches and destroyed the garden work in my neighborhood.
Most of Gainesville has shut down and stocked up on food and gasoline but the worst damage we've suffered is some fallen trees.
That's...

A storm is gathering.
The clouds move so swiftly that I am reminded of the storms of my childhood in Oklahoma City – that brought with them tornadoes.
My extended family warns me to leave Florida and rejoin them in Illinois but after 4 years in Israel I figure that if God wants me dead then s/he knows where to find me.
I stand poised...

3. Complacency
4. Non-optimal usage of resources and technology
5. Apathy
6. Hypocracy
7. Obsolete morality
8. Sexism
9. Elitism
10. Glutony
Okay, I'll return later to give explainations and possibly...

It would be funny to see you all pimped out. Maybe you could get pimped-out Borg style?
And yeah, I could add a whole fucking lot to that list, but you hit on some pretty important ones.
