Just saw this on Reddit, it is the Hubble Deep Field relative size to night sky. There are over 10,000 galaxies in that little square. It makes one think how inconsequential everything humanity has ever done on our pale blue dot actually is in comparison to the vastness of the universe and what must be… Continue reading Hubble Deep Field relative size to night sky
Journal Entry – 9.14.2016
It is 5:06 AM. Recently I’ve been feeling run down, my whole body is tired and devoid of any energy. This is most likely due to hard workouts at karate class which my body hasn’t experienced in a very long time and takes a while to recover from. It isn’t like the gym where I’m…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.14.2016
“To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles todayTo-morrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he’s a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he’s to setting.That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and… Continue reading “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”
World of Tomorrow
Watched the World of Tomorrow last night after seeing a 100% score from the critics. It is a fabulous dark comedy indeed and a stark reminder that the future of technology might not be so positive.

I’ve become so used to soreness after the gym over these…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.4.2016 – Karate class
Five Element Ninjas 五遁忍術

I thought it might be fun to watch ninja movies tonight and that memory popped in my head so I thought I could see if I…… Continue reading Five Element Ninjas 五遁忍術
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
Tonight I thought it would be fun to watch ninja movies since Kai and I made it through our first fighting class in karate. For me, the best ninja movie ever was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I remember when this came out and what a hit it was. It was also unique in that the…… Continue reading Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
I’ve finally finished The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. I began reading it many years ago but only made it about halfway. I picked it up again half a year ago when I became interested in mediation and thought it might offer some insights. Needless to say it has taken quite…… Continue reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
