Expectations

We’re all supposed to look like some sort of ornate sculptures full of prose and secret wisdom. The difference is what we’re made of. They tell ladies to be made of glass; as delicate as they are enigmatic like a china doll. Men, they say, should be made of steel; as strong as they are… Continue reading Expectations

Choosing Nexus 5 over Galaxy S5

Today I decided to get a Nexus 5 instead of the new Samsung GS5. The biggest reasons; bloatware, value and wireless charging. The Galaxy S5 comes with a marginally faster processor than the Nexus 5. This tiny difference is offset by the vast amount of crapware installed on the Galaxy S5, inevitably slowing its performance… Continue reading Choosing Nexus 5 over Galaxy S5

Divergent

I’ve just finished reading Divergent which is currently ranked #1 on the New York Times’ best seller list for “Children’s Fiction.” I saw the movie and couldn’t decide if I loved it or hated it, so I decided to give the book a go. At 487 pages, Divergent flew by. And that’s no excuse for… Continue reading Divergent

From a Future Me

I decided I want to write a journal entry from a future me who is closer to where I want to be. I intentionally used hyperbole to show goal states. I see myself waking up in a tiny home which looks like a cabin but on a flatbed trailer and easy to relocate. It sits… Continue reading From a Future Me

Astral

When I became aware that I was conscious, I looked around and saw that all around me was a turbulence, a rushing; and it was made of stars and men. The turbulence made a sound. It was like the roaring of a thousand oceans, louder than ears could ever hear. I was floating and I was… Continue reading Astral

Fruit

I’m sitting on my balcony on a warm afternoon. I bought this table and chairs a few weeks ago but this is the first chance I’ve had to use it. It’s ironic because this is probably the last time I’ll use them. To me they were a symbol of a future I wanted to create.… Continue reading Fruit

Commodification

I see a future not so far away. We want to build cities faster and farther; in space, on the moon. We need resources. We turn to machines to fabricate and construct. The world of men is made up of downloaded buildings constructed by generic self-replicating robots. We start to see memes in form and… Continue reading Commodification

Frontiers

Years ago, I was working in a busy cafe with a man around 30 years old. We were talking about something involving math; he had been an engineering major who lost interest after he graduated and ended up slanging lattes for minimum wage with yours truly. We were talking about a simple problem but neither… Continue reading Frontiers

The Boy in the Forest

I walked through the forest with another boy from my tribe. We were looking for food and drink but mostly we hoped for adventure. We never expected to find a new friend among the trees. He was smiling when he greeted us and we talked for a while about the things we’d seen and done,… Continue reading The Boy in the Forest
