fragment, sliver of time

so. i've been trying to start off application introductions with benoit mandelbrot's quote that clouds are not the heterogenous surface that they appear to be, but homogenously containing irregularities. here's a little taste:



it's interesting that today i was walking, and i noticed between brazil and seattle, there is no end or beginning to me. odd (or not), my experiences seem to be blending together in some untangleable bunch. i do say this in the best manner, as being here in brazil has energized me, and kicked things up. i think this means i'm on the right track. i guess fragmented this becomes:

"that i, am walking today, and noticed ends between, interesting brazil and seattle or the beginning absent to me. Or as be mixed be not with the untangleable bunch with my experience that is strange it is thought. i think that i who i say this am this means i am doing me well, with the best way in the time that able to notice life and raised that it is in brazil here."

in Brazil, notes from flight

it's midnightish and i'm flying high, listening to bright eyes, looking out into a sea of stars, some clouds and thunder. the plane's only half full, if that. such a foreign feeling flying, disembodied from earthly things. listening to "little beast" by elbow now. boom again of lightning in the distance. you know, i thought i'd fear space travel and yet maybe i'm used to it now. as long as i come back , i suppose.

beautiful afternoon

so i'm sitting here in red square, under a very warm september sun looking at mount rainier... it's amazingly beautiful here. and i'm heading out from seattle in a few days to head down to Brazil for one month. we'll probably end up moving to Brazil in a few years, but i'm sure i'll miss the mountains, and possibly even the rain here.

i guess i'm glad that i can least enjoy it. hopefully everyone else in the area is also enjoying the warm sun and beautiful weather.

i miss my wife, and i know that she lives for this type of weather, but since she's far away, she's not able to enjoy it. hopefully once she comes back she'll still catch some great weather here.

missing my wife! :(

well, my wife is currently in Africa for three weeks, so i'm missing her a great deal! unfortunately we will be apart during our three year aniversary, but i'm looking forward to seeing her, counting the days! she's only been gone for not even three days, and i miss her so already... but it's good to feel these pings, and i agree with her that sometimes being away for a little bit reinspires! i'm trying to take advantage of the time by reading, taking action on projects, and just keep busy to make the time go quicker!

why some tv role models all agressive, ridiculous overdemanding people?

just a quick question here: after watching multiple blips of shows (such as a woman reforming beauty salons, simon from American idol) it seems that many figures that are seemingly role models are selected for their agressive, egotistical behavior. what is it that we expect to gain from such examples? i wonder.
