wow… i haven’t sat down for so long and just indulged in my reading such a long time… miss it so very much :), books are the gems to life *smiles*, but yah was aroudn 2-3ish something, when i started to work and after sqabbling around not being motivated i decided to just read one of my books that i have prepped and ready for my writers isu, I read Linus Torvald’s biography ‘just for fun’ which i found quite inspiring, infaturating, and most of all fun :P. funny analogy he had to explain the ‘meaning of life’ was that everything we do, is motivated first by survival, then by social standing, then ultimately everything goes to fun. quite true in the examples he gave..
sex - war
sex
– survival of human species.
– social thing weird.. but so true.. especially in our society)
– and entertainment.. ‘they sky is blue’
war
– survival - destroy the enemy between you and your water hole (source of water — survival)
– social - establish social order - ‘victor’ vs ‘defeated’
– entertainment - CNN & video games etc..
rather twisted philosophy but true for the most part, general — seems to resemble Maslow’s pyramid excluding the altrust part.
but yah i dunno feels kind of weird if i give a much mroe detailed review since i’ll probably be reviewing this book in a few hours after i finish reviewing the manticore.. but yah it was really inspiring — and i could so relate to it — cause i’m nerdy & outcast, even though i know my life wasn’t for that purpose of being so computer ‘focused’ — it reminds me and & spurs that inner desire to do something as grand, if not more for my God.
anyways through all of that… something i wanted to ask for all of my well caring friends whom visit this humbe lil site..
since it is fast approachign my birhday, i would like to request that you keep it low key, i want it to be as unnoticed, and untalked about as possible. That means, to leave it out of your livejournals/blogs, forums, msn names, massmailing, announcements etc… all inclusive.. — as usual i just want to celebrate it with my closest friends… want to treat 1-2 of you to dinner and do something kwlz liek that
and maybe go shopping get some gifts for people i want to show my appreciation for.
Once again — i want to have a birthday where i don’t have a cake, rather a time i can appreciate the people i want to.
+too bad its smack in the middle of ISUs… next week : oh wells — all the more easy to hide i guess,
inspite of that i still wanna spend some special time with a few of you, before or after… therse Victoria Day weekend, tho theres CC & that CoreGroup thing (note i’m not part of core group…. not sure if i have to go)
but yes — for those of you who plan on giving me birthday beats — i will now forewarn you that i will fight back.
~> luckily my birthday is on a thursday — so hopefully i will avoid needing to retaliate. (Note - if you’re a girl i’ll run away)
