Purple

Possibly the best Web creation ever conceived, the ultimate cyberspace that no one can enter. At first, you may wait for it; with time, you may come to understand it.
Perhaps the simple mind cannot grasp the purest simplicity.
I call it... the Purple.

Turmoil

There is a perfect, peaceful state. Budha knew where it was. Rocks can feel it. Sometimes, I see it when I am not looking. On the opposite side is emotion. This is a place of chaos and danger; a loud maelstrom, overwhelming, terrible, darkly bright and seducing... like a siren's song in the sea.
Beware.

Communication

What are the elements of effective communication?
Lack of ambiguity. A clear signal. Redundancy, error-checking. Language and protocol, for sure. Timing has to be a big one.
Encoding and encryption.

None of that matters of course, if you're not really sure what it is you are sending out. And of course, all is subject to meta-communication factors.

Could it be that the only perfect communication is absolute silence?

War

I have been invaded and am currently under attack by microscopic entities. During the next few days the invaders will steadily infiltrate and subdue my own cells, forcing them to produce more and more copies of the invaders, steadily tipping the balance of the battle in their favor. My own microscopic defense force will target and destroy my own cells in a fruitless effort to stop the enemy. The battle will continue to worsen, and the enemy's victory will seem just a matter of time. Collateral damage will translate into pain and other macroscopic symptoms, worsening over time. While this fearful battle is taking place, however, my own microscopic intelligence agents will gather data on the enemy, perfecting smart weapons as they are tested on the invaders. Eventually, a lethal countermeasure will be found that will effectively neutralize one of the enemies. This smart weapon will soon begin rapid mass production. Released into my bloodstream, they will quickly home in on the enemy, obliterating the attack force. Once again, my immune system will emerge victorious.

If my prediction is inaccurate, however, I shall soon meet my maker. Either way, I win :)

Decline

Making entries in this blog is not as present in my mind as it used to be. Though I am not predicting its demise yet, it is clear that I am not so interested in it as I once was. Whether this is a temporary or a permanaent thing, I do not know. Perhaps I need to be more spontaneous with my entries, and take less time thinking about them.

As always, time will tell.

Socializing

We are a social species, so we are all social individuals at a basic level. In everyday speech, however, we refer to social people as those who thrive and seem happier when in the company of others. Usually talkative, these people prefer to spend their free time with others rather than alone. Many consider me to be very sociable because I attend social events and get along well with others.

But if you look around, you'll find the truly sociable people -they prefer to spend their lunch time in the company of others, rather than reading a book. They always adapt to the needs of the group they're in, rather than go their separate way. They are always comfortable in the company of others, happy to do nothing but chat, and they see all strangers as potential friends. I like sociable people a lot
-I'm just not one of them.
