Dislike loneliness
I have sought it(love), next. Because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.--From What I Have Lived For, by Bertrand Russell
This is a sentence from What I Have Lived For, which Russell wrote for his autobiography. I rarely read his books before, but I like this preface ......
Three collaborative word processors online
The three are Google Docs, Buzzword, and Microsoft Office Live.
Google Docs
I feel that it's really handy. I write documents everyday using it. It supports document, spreadsheet, and presentation now. I can easily write something from scratch, then publish them out in real time. Moreover, it's able for people to work on the same documents or even projects together with colleagues or part......
To conquer boredom and learn english better
Boredom is feeling that there are too few high quality ways to spend attention (From this). One of ways to conquer boredom I think is improving quality of everything you are.
I surf internet everyday, like reading posts on various forums, which often takes me much time. Just a little obsession. I have a lot of things I need to do each day, but it's often hard for me to concentr......
The stuff of dreams
Yesterday, I read a article by Jay Dixit about dreams. It says that dreaming is a sensitive system that tries to pay much attention to the threatening cues in our environment, and as Harvard's Barrett puts it, the dreams are just thinking in a different biochemical state.
This artcile descrbiles a bit devilish study first in which researchers at the University of Wisconsin at M......
Extremely awful experience last night
At 12 o'clock last night, I just woke up from short-term sleep. After the completion of a task—an easy learning thing—it's still a long time to the dawn, thereby I decided to do something to kill time.
Although I think it's fairly awful to watch videos like movies, cartoons and such at late nights all along, I guess probably mental condition is comparatively at low ......
二零零七
总觉得自己过得不是线性的人生,对以往的事情极少有实质性的(practical)的记忆,更多的只存留一种感觉(sense)。对于以往事情,很难清晰地回忆起。不过,在看了不少人写的总结,我也来写一篇吧,想起什么就写什么吧。
上半年有什么了。嗯,年初买了一台现在还再用的19寸宽屏,......
Living my life
今天听了两首歌,MJ的《Little Susie》是一首关于小susie死去的叙述,听起来让我很难受。关于歌曲内容,引用keen的一句话:"关于一个不受人们关爱的小女孩在家里意外身亡的故事, MJ以此希望人们多献出对他人的关爱"。
还有一首席琳·迪翁(Celine Dion)的《Because you love me》,一首有着动听旋律、美妙歌......
On Beauty
...
All these things have you said of beauty, yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unstatisfied, and beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, but rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, but rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hea......
Sometimes, I wanna be strong enough
“我希求的是接受外力忍耐外力的强壮,是能够静静忍受不公平不走运不理解误解和悲伤等种种情况的强壮。”
——《海边的卡夫卡》
时间静悄悄地流逝,是以为一切停止。万物的潮汐变化,才得以明白一切并未死寂。
好想,每一天每一夜,无论何时醒来,都能真实感受,时间留下的痕......
继续语言的思考
源于今早阅读的一篇文章,让我胡思乱想了会。与文章内容到无甚关系了,但这种胡思乱想,不断地推动了我内心的一种激情——a kind of passion with which I seek knowledge and wish to understand the hearts of men, wish to know why the stars shine, wish to apprehend the flux of everything (Russell).
一些关......
