Altruism
How rare is it?
If you were told you could devote 20 years of your life to a project that would better the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, but would receive no personal thanks, recognition, or monetary reward for your good deeds, would you still do it?
I'd like to think I would, but I'm not entirely sure.
FINALLY HIKED THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN BOOYAH BITCHES!

"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." -P. J. O'Rourke
Fuck politics. Fuck the Tea Party.
Sometimes I feel that people should be required to pass some sort of screening test before they can vote. Or run for office. I'm with Plato: Let's replace our politicians with philosopher-kings.
Education should be free.
We need to get Zack de la Rocha over to UCLA to get people pumped up. Imagine having Rage Against the Machine at Bruin Bash.

Is everyone bipolar to a degree or is it just me?
Too tired after work + going out to ever write anything anymore.
Listening to TI makes me feel gangster. But I'd never bump that shit with the windows down. Yadadamean.
CONFIDENCE
FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT
Bitch.

"We are all human."
Sometimes I read that like it's a beautiful thing. Other times, it depresses me.
Right now, I'm too tired to care.
Good rehearsal last night. Let's keep it up.

August 2
It's past midnight, but it's not technically August 3 until I sleep and wake up. That's a scientific fact.
W is a weird letter. Can you figure out why?

Go Away, August
Dvorak is too goddamn difficult.
I feel like my interest in the abstract makes me a bad conversationalist. I hate when I'm just talking and it feels like I'm going through the motions. Saying the same crap over and over again.
Here are a few things I'd really like to understand better:
Music. How it affects people differently. The effects of certain harmonies, chord progressions, etc.
Cars. How they work. What makes a car run smoothly, powerfully, etc. How to fix and modify a car. I don't give a shit about rims and spoilers, more the mechanics.
Sports. I honestly don't care much about sports, but I know a lot of people like to talk about it.
Martial arts. The rise of MMA. Guns and how they work. It would probably be good to learn some form of self-defense too.
Politics. Why some forms of government are better than others. Why some movements are successful while many others fail. What it takes to make legitimate change.
The Middle East. Islam. The Arabic language. Farsi.
Money. Investing. What it takes to be successful.
I hate when I read a book for the sake of "bettering" myself, but by the time I finish I feel I got nothing out of it. I honestly feel that to get the most out of a book, you have to read it at least twice.
It's not hard work. It's just working hard.
UGH
"A pair of oxen were drawing a heavily loaded wagon along the highway, and as they tugged and strained at the yoke the axletrees creaked and groaned terribly. This was too much for the oxen, who turned round indignantly and said, "Hey, you there! Why do you make such a noise when we do all the work?"
They complain most who suffer least
I am totally an axletree. Sigh.
