“

My cello teacher here said that he enjoys teaching undergrads more than grad students. [He] says that undergrads arrive with one foot into adulthood, and when they leave they have both feet in adulthood and he likes witnessing the change

I wonder if we’re adults yet?

“

Given that people want life and fear death, it is difficult not to see longevity, and perhaps immortality, as a palpable good. Many have taken issue with this claim on two main grounds: either that indefinite life would eventually become terminally boring, or that over long periods of survival personal identity could not be maintained and so the survival of a particular individual would prove illusory…

suffice it to say that only the terminally boring are in danger of being terminally bored, and perhaps they do not deserve indefinite life.

“

Or maybe people heard Tripathi’s name, even though police never said it. Many of the people who thought they heard Tripathi’s name already knew about the Reddit-centered suspicions about the student. Police had also said another name earlier in the evening and spelled it out. Perhaps they were primed to hear the name and among the static and unreliable connections to these scanners, they heard what they wanted to hear.

Maybe that’s what I want to believe. Because otherwise, I just don’t understand what happened last night. A piece of evidence that fit a narrative some people really wanted to believe was conjured into existence and there was no stopping its spread.

“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”

- Jerome K. Jerome, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886)

Diagnosis- Human

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:53:29 -0400

Diagnosis- Human:

“Ours is an age in which the airwaves and media are one large drug emporium that claims to fix everything from sleep to sex. I fear that being human is itself fast becoming a condition. It’s as if we are trying to contain grief, and the absolute pain of a loss like mine. We have become increasingly disassociated and estranged from the patterns of life and death, uncomfortable with the messiness of our own humanity, aging and, ultimately, mortality.

Challenge and hardship have become pathologized and monetized. Instead of enhancing our coping skills, we undermine them and seek shortcuts where there are none, eroding the resilience upon which each of us, at some point in our lives, must rely. Diagnosing grief as a part of depression runs the very real risk of delegitimizing that which is most human — the bonds of our love and attachment to one another.”

““I have this dream every night. Even when I can’t remember it the next morning, I know it was there, like the depression a lover’s head leaves on the pillow next to you after she’s left. I dream not of growing old with her, but of never growing old, either of us. She never leaves me, and I never leave her. It’s true, I am afraid of dying. I am afraid of the world moving forward without me, of my absence going unnoticed, or worse, being some natural force propelling life on. Is it selfish? Am I such a bad person for dreaming of a a world that ends when I do? I don’t mean the world ending with respect to me, but every set of eyes closing with mine. Sometimes my dream of living forever with Brod is the dream of our dying together. I know there is no afterlife. I’m no fool. And I know there is no God. It’s not her company I need, but to know that she won’t need mine, or that she won’t not need it. I imagine scenes of her without me, and I become so jealous. She will marry and have children and touch what I could never approach- all things that should make me happy. I cannot tell her this dream, of course, but I want to so desperately. She is the only thing that matters.””

Finding Dory

Finding Dory:

“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” said Ellen DeGeneres, who voices Dory, in a statement. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

“Everyone will tell you that you’re going to forget about this, that one day it will seem like nothing, that it will be a blip on the horizon behind you. But the thing is, at least at the moment, you don’t want that to happen. Even if you are never to be together again, you can’t give up that beautiful hope, that memory of being with them, back when they loved you. All of the advice will mean nothing, all of the experiences of others — offered in kindness, in an attempt to empathize — will pale in comparison to yours. No one understands. How could they? You want to tell them that moving on (whatever that is supposed to mean in practice) is too far from your plane of reality now to even imagine.”
