I am a Picanha whore. In the morning, I finally got a chance to go back to work. I missed the place! At 2pm my mother and I went to my doctor, got x-rays, and he said everything is fine. Apparently, they had removed a fragment of bone in my spine to get to my disc, I didn't know that till today. Afterwards, I went with my mom to Picanha's, where I am now a regular customer. Now, I'm sleepy like non-pasteurized cheese (they get pretty damn sleepy!). Vicodin is crazy. Business law teacher said I don't have to make up my test, he'll just double the points on my next test. SCORE. Now I have a 500 word essay to write on advertisement, and I don't want to... therefore I won't. My unshaven face is getting into terrorist territory. I can't bend over to shave, so I have no choice. And it is still so incredibly hot. Summer came early, eh?

Oh let me tell you about the dreams I had. One was of Bugs Bunny, where he got the idea to steal a cop's car. That was funny. Then I had another dream where it was a park, next to a series of railroad tracks. The odd thing was... the trains were going incredibly fast and often would derail and crash. It was so odd that I'm inclined to call it a prime number. Yes, yes... THAT odd!

And now, some random thoughts of mine.

Those who have belief in themselves do not need a belief in someone, or something else: they do not need religion. Interestingly, humans are the only animals that need to know the reason for their existence to be content.

Every philosopher has criticized society and its corrupt ways. Society is portrayed as a great evil with which we must do away with. I too am guilty of making such accusations. However, we must realize that we are society. When we change, society changes. Instead of listing and discussing the faults of society, we must look in ourselves and find the fundamental flaws, which are accumulated and - ultimately - expressed by society. The solution is not to do away with society, since this means doing away with ourselves; the solution is changing fundamental concepts that people hold so dear. Only then can we be content with our society.

And, of course, our daily quote: The things we see are the same things that are within us. There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. You can be happy that way, but once you know the other interpretation, you no longer have the choice of following the crowd. - Hermann Hesse's Demian
