“We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.”

Such a beautiful song
If ever I have seen the sunrise,
And known it’s time for bed.
If ever I have breathed in deeply,
And felt like I was dead.
And felt like I was dead.

Psychologists Discover How People Subconsciously Become Their Favorite Fictional Characters
Psychologists have discovered that while reading a book or story, people are prone to subconsciously adopt their behavior, thoughts, beliefs and internal responses to that of fictional characters as if they were their own.
Experts have dubbed this subconscious phenomenon ‘experience-taking,’ where people actually change their own behaviors and thoughts to match those of a fictional character that they can identify with.
Probably why Notes From Underground disturbed me so much.
“He is awesome. If camp counselors were superheroes, he would be a mixture of Batman and Captain America. And yes, I’m fully aware that one is from the DC universe and the other is Marvel. But that is who he would be. I don’t make the rules of this science, I merely interpret the data.”
The additional comments I put on a reference form for one of my friends. I hope they have a sense of humor.
If you haven’t yet read it, take a look at this fantastic comic: “Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived” but then read this fact-checking article.
Awesome.
I wish more electronic music sounded more organic and less “clinical” (if that makes sense). I like electronic music and the cool things that can be done with it, but so much of it, even at it’s best, lacks the visceral effects of other genres. I want more analog and less digital. I want to feel it, not just hear it.
I can’t explain it right. It’s in no way an attack on the genre because, like I said, I like it and the people who spend hours composing it are brilliant. And I know there’s a way to capture that organic feeling because I’ve heard it before. This is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever written on here.
Beautiful.

Whatever I do will never be enough to make me feel that I’ve done enough. But just maybe it’ll be enough to get by.
