follow throughs POSTED AT 07:34 PM overhauling... scoff... resolutions... bah. i think i am beyond new year resolutions... i have broken and thrashed many so badly... i do not have anymore to smash... been there... tried that... maybe instead i should not try to be resolute and be more... um... i don't know... be more... resolute? sigh. argh... it is pointless arguing with yourself... it is crazy. anyway, year ender was a blast i would say... i had old high school and college friends coming back from all over, so it has been a series of different reunions... meeting up with familiar faces and being in touch and reconnected is definitely good. at any rate, i am throwing away resolutions for this year... i think i had enough years of making and remaking resolutions that it has become passé. resolutions are definitely not mod for 2008... if i wanted a new year’s resolution right now i can just go get a dusty box under my bed or something... i know i have a lot lying around... it had been so many and it is all just clutter now. meaningless heap of resolves fizzled into oblivion, snuffed like cake candles for a birthday wish, just as i do as always at the start of the year. so what is the point of all my post new year ranting like crazy fire works blasting and popping? i think i am frustrated with myself really... i know what i need to be doing... i believe i can... i just have to... (insert old nike slogan) just do it. i have a list of plans and things to do... now i need to be crossing them out... enough with resolutions it is time for follow throughs.

chores and more POSTED AT 07:57 PM "better to wear out than to rust out." - rcumberland i suppose chores too are important in everyday life... i mean while work is essential; chores, trivial as they may seem have its purpose. i could just imagine how terrible everything will be if no body ever did chores... on a small scale if i did not force myself to clean my room, sweep its floor, dust off the furniture, changed the sheets of my bed and the pillow cases, if i did not sort my books or vcd & dvd collections... the room would just be a mess... and multiplying that by six billion or so... then it would be catastrophic... there are some chores that i love to do, like watering the plants and washing the dishes... i guess anything to do with water is fine... well maybe except the laundry. unless of course there is the washing machine... i remembered just this weekend i had to do some laundry and dry spinning was fun... i like the sound it makes and how amazingly dry the clothes come out to be... dry spinning is fun. i'm ok with general cleaning but i usually just do it almost every other month... or until i get irritated by how messy things are in my room and that is when i am having a hard time looking for something. the weekend had been tiring... doing house chores and of course, things happening here and there that i had to be in... more like social obligations... social chores if there was one... things you do not want to do but you have to anyway because things can just get messy for you eventually... specially when it concerns your immediate relatives (not to mention negotiating with this bothersome cough and cold i have been carrying since the new year)... people should like doing chores... i should like doing chores... then maybe the world might just be a little better place...

between zero and infinity POSTED AT 07:20 PM i have been awake for more than 24 hours now... and still going... unfortunately this is the consequence of my profession... the over worked and under paid... designing buildings, making it beautiful, functional, cost-efficient and more importantly profitable for big corporate developers who are as expected more concerned with the later two. it is surprising however that i do not find myself sleepy... a little sore and slow but not at all sleepy... the presentation was over before lunch so i decide to not do anything any more... i think i deserve a break... but i still get occasional calls from other clients... i am handling eight projects currently half of which can occupy the work of a small firm... but this is me... the demi-god of herculanean tasks... sniff. next week will be another week of hell... i wonder if i can survive this one... i have given up sleep... i wonder what else they can take from me... i have been reading about mathematic concepts like the infinity and the zeros, the history of these were rather intriguing to say the least. from the unquantifiable amount of infinity to the absolute nothingness of zero, i am trying to put myself in between the two... like a misplaced integer with a lost value... i would think to be somewhere in the middle of the two... maybe closer to zero. "nothing can have value without being an object of utility." - kmarx in the realm of mathematics there is a race to find the biggest prime number to date... as of september 2006 the largest known prime number is 9,152,052 digits to be written fully... i would love to post the number but i don't want to eat up space... and of course one of many holy grail quest of mathematics is to discover the golden equation that will reveal all prime numbers, that would be like the discovery of the double helix pattern of dna. i am on a solitary race, placing horribly behind to finding the value of one... me. valore di un... me.
