What kind of candy? If you are in a position to obtain Sour Warheads, do eet. Then eat 5 of them in immediate succession. Follow with hot sauce, if desired. The pain in your mouth may distract you from anything else that has you down.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Watching a movie I got reminded of my sorely lacking love life. Makes me angry rather than sad though

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

All this birthday talk made me realise a quarter of my probable life as been a complete pointlessnessity.

...I am not happy.

I just hit 25 a few weeks back, and my brother had some words, which I'd like to pass on to you.

Over dinner the night of my birthday, I was half-joking with him about how a quarter of my life has been wasted on all these small, frivolous things. Without replying, he turned away, and set instead to scrawling something on a large sheet of paper. He had started working out an equation which I couldn't make any sense of, and I figured he had been struck by some thought, and brushed the conversation aside to work it out, as is his habit. A few minutes later, he tapped me on the shoulder, and pointed to a large 7 emboldened inside a square, with a percentage next to it. When I asked what it was, he said "You've only spent 7 years so far. That's only 8.75% of your life." When I asked him what made him say that, he explained, "The first 18 don't count, since you're busy learning how to live."

So yeah, chin up. Consider those 7 years a handicap, for whatever circumstances you've dealt with to bring you to this point, and get to making the choices that get you to live the life you want to lead.

Nah, I just need to go to sleep in a couple minutes.  Then I'll get up early tomorrow morning and work work work, but I don't think I'll mind.  Got to be better than today, anyhow.

Only thing getting me down right now is that I want to talk to Mr. Ex and, you know, discuss it out a little, but given my recent error that seems like a bad idea.  Maybe in a few years, it'll be a good idea... it's still too soon.

*sigh*

Well, that's okay.  I've got plenty of stuff to do in the meantime.

Good luck, and may the Fours be with you (I assume that, as a mathematician-in-training, the undying loyalty of numbers of various sorts would be a boon, so I'm certainly not making a joke here and it's definitely not one that you've heard a bajillion times >__>)

I just got an email saying one of the first semester students at my college passed away last week.  Geez thanks for that.  Even if I don't know them damn.  I'm a first semester student!  I've seen other first semester students everywhere.  Damn.

ToonyMan, every time I see your avatar, I get a chuckle out of it.

Don't ever change your avatar.  Ever.  This is your only warning.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

That's a tough proposition.  But I've had this for at least two weeks I think I can last a while.

All this buzz about police busting protesters in Oakland. That's pretty close; I could get there in less than 30 minutes if I wanted to by car, bus, or other public transit.

What's going to happen next? That's what I always ask when these things happen. One thing leads to another and then suddenly everyone's in deep shit.

Clerk's daddy is rich, so she'll ignore the training I'm attempting to give her. Her stupid law school professors say she knows something. She doesn't. They don't even mention the word "garnishment," or even "plea bargain," there. Law students are told they know things.

Until and unless you're fully prepared to deal with some random scared shitless or pissed off client off the top of your head with no help, you don't really know the legal subject matter or procedure.

O, it's never enough....

Feel like venting out my sadness, rage, dismay and anger.

Oh hey, dad calls, tells me he has a child overseas. Naturally, I raged, I mean, he couldn't keep his dick in his pants, and now he has a wife overseas, without divorcing my mom. And the child came into the world, with me, being non the wiser about his existence, prior to that.

I bear no ill will at my step-siblings, but the idiot decided to make things complicated by making more children. And to make things worse, dad doesn't trust my mom with funds he sends to us, and sends it to my eldest brother, who was whining earlier about that. Oh, and we're getting less and less funding as time passes by, due to all the children he has.

Gah.. I hate that guy...

3.6? I normally sleep through those. Maybe it's because the house I lived in was on a good sized hill made of granite, I don't know.
