Forever doodling polygons while on the phone
A picture is NOT worth a thousand words… nowadays.
Leave a Comment
Hello folks, gotta let out a rant here on the amount of useless fucking pictures that people tend to post up online.
Pictures used to be something that was expensive, rare, and special. Limited by the film roll, each picture taken meant that you were burning 1/24th of your reservoir. Furthermore, the time and effort that went into developing pictures meant that photographers made sure that the photos they were taking were worth developing. However, things started to change with disposable cameras and Polaroids and now pictures became something that were easier and cheaper to mass-produce. People decided to stop being as careful and thoughtful about how the pictures were being taken and used. Finally, we went digital, and when we lost the 24 picture limit and cost per photo went down the number of pointless photos exploded all across the internet. Then our phones got the ability to take pictures and finally we are getting “Here is an album composed of 129 photos where its just me and my girlfriends smiling, with an occasional photo of us committing a faux-pas!”
Fucking stop it. No one cares that you had a good time at a restaurant or a bar. Actually, some may, but not to the fucking extent that they are willing to riffle through endless streams of worthless photos that barely hold any significant meaning, both to you and to anyone else. I mean, I actually do appreciate photos of your newborn or your family at a special occasion, but when you update your albums every day all day with digital photos of your friends’ backsides, a piece of sandwich you ate but decided to not finish because you were too full, your and your friend’s shoes that happened to be both red, an ordinary chipotle visit, etc. it DRIVES ME FUCKING CRAZY.
Is it that hard to realize that 99% of your pictures are pure shit and should not be posted when you are taking 50 photos a day, every day? You’re not Ansel Adams, you know.
Anyways I leave it at this: demonstrate your passion and love for photography in a manner that is more subtle, less self-serving, and less egocentric. Please.
끙..

난 사실 과묵하다. 친구들끼리 있을 때나 술 자리에 나가면 말이 많고 개그도 치고 분위기를 업시키려 노력하지만, 결국엔 내 성격 자체는 과묵한 것 같다.
나랑 오래 단둘이 있어보면 알겠지만, 그 “아무 말도 하지 않아도 어색하지 않을 정도의 사이”가 된 사람과 단둘이 있으면 난 말수가 적어지고 말하기보단 듣는걸 더 좋아한다.
수다스럽다는 그런 성격도 꽤 장시간 표출할 수 있긴 하지만 일단 기본적으로 듣는걸 더 좋아하는건 어쩔 수 없지…
그래서 항상 생각한 건데, 난 말수가 많고 활발한 여자랑 결혼할거다. 퇴근해서 집에 와서 나의 하루 일과를 업비트로 물어봐 줄 수 있는, 내가 다운일 때 저절로 기분 좋게 만들어 줄 수 있는 그런 여자 ㅎㅎ
여자가 활발하고 발랄한데 수준 낮게 그런게 아니라 지적인 모습도 겸비한 그런 모습은 정말 매력적인 것 같다. 한땐 차분한 여잘 좋아했는데 역시 여잔 어느정도 발랄한게 나랑 잘 맞고 좋은듯?
오랜만에 한국어로 글 쓰니까 기분 묘한데 또 재밌당.. 어느 언어를 쓰느냐에 따라서 생각의 표현의 방식이 미묘하게 틀려져서 잼나는듯?
업데이트 좀 자주 해봐야지 또 여러분(?) 담에 봅시다~

I think the measure of how good of a friend someone is with you can easily be calculated by how many activities you are willing to do with that friend.
There’s a lot of activities in life you can enjoy with someone else, and most of them are surprisingly intimate. For instance, I would be pretty down to watch a movie with some acquaintances, but feel kinda reluctant to get smashed with them.
There’s drinking socially, drinking unhealthily, eating, sleeping, watching a movie/show, playing sports, playing games, going on a trip, having discussions on retarded shit, having discussions on deep philosophical issues that you value, etc etc.
If you have a friend and you’d feel comfortable and find it enjoyable to do a lot of the aforementioned activities with that friend, he/she is probably a close friend of yours.
If you had a blast playing some games with one of your friends and then tried to have some deep talk while drinking and found out that it just didn’t work out, he’s probably just a middlingly close friend.
You get the idea. Pretty simple but effective way to gauge friendships I think.

So true
Originally from reddit, I couldn’t find it so re-drew it myself.
come to think of it

It has been contested many times that the sexually-proactive male and female being viewed in different light is sexist. There is also the popular saying that a key that unlocks every lock is a master key, but a lock that gets unlocked by every key is a shitty lock.
Even around me, guys think its a virtue to be able to “꼬셔” a girl and eventually get her to sleep with them. (Bonus points if it happens on the same day.)
Girls, however, need to keep their sexual activities a tightly guarded secret lest they be labeled as whores. I know that among close friends girls do discuss sexual activities as eagerly as a cohort of guys, but that doesn’t count obviously. A guy’s first reaction when he hears that a guy friend of his has had 17 sexual partners in the past 2 years will be: “I need to be closer friends with him so I can learn from this pussy-magnet!” If he hears the same thing about his female friend: “What a WHORE. I need to get all up in that and take a piece of that cake myself!” or something.
This is innately unfair, obviously, and many explanations for this phenomenon have been given such as males being respected for being able to spread their seed and ensure survival of his offspring via multi-thronged penis attacks into many women’s vaginas, male sexuality expression being generally more acceptable in society than that of female’s, etc.
Even though I’m rambling about this stupid shit, I cannot say that I’m not guilty of this double standard myself. If (BIG IF GUYS COMEON) I were somewhat successful at getting into attractive women’s panties, I’d probably flaunt that ability 24/7. But, if I were a girl, I’d probably be reeeeal careful about whose penis I let into my treasure chest. Is it just due to the society and its paradigms? Is this the way it should be? Do whores have more sexual appeal than non-whores or is it just their willingness that makes it easier? Should guys be considered man-whores or should they instead be rewarded for the hard work they go through just to get their dicks wet?

Few jokes on the subject of math/science that I thought was amusing (you’re probably a nerd if you find these funny):
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who do not, and 8 other types.
Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The barman says ‘May I help you sir?’, Descartes replies ‘I think not.’ and promptly vanishes.
Why do computer scientists always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because OCT31 equals DEC25 (props to you, nerd, if you get this joke)
Heisenberg is speeding down the road, and a cop pulls him over. The cop says “Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?” Heisenberg says “No, but i know exactly where i am.”
What did the mathematician say after Thanksgiving dinner?
sqrt(-1/64)

One of the newfound joys that I have encountered recently is the joy of intellectual empathy. To be able to talk to, brainstorm with, and even enjoy a simple joke with people who are at your intellectual level is simply revitalizing. Man I LOVE talking with smart people (yes I am insinuating that I am smart), and know that they know what you are talking about instantly, that you grasp each other’s concepts immediately, feels so good.
woot
Interning

Hedge fund intern, just a massive amount of number crunching, since I dont really have
finance skills specialed enough to efficiently manipulate microsoft excel/access and bloomberg.
its fun using 4 monitors to manipulate data though, and just surfing through bloombergs pretty fun too.
been working 11 hours 2 days in a row, not really stressful though, just a lot of grunt work and data manipulation.
Hopefully as I get familiarized with the tools and environment, Ill start doing more sophisticated work.
Ill report back again soon.
Sooo….

Interview done, waiting to hear back from them, I do sincerely hope they hire me, so I can work 12 hours a day and stop wasting my life away doing jack shit.
Oh yeah, I lost about 6 pounds of fat and gained about 3 pounds of muscle, all thanks to a diet consisting mostly of chicken breast and vegetables and black coffee, occasionally grape fruit. Working out again and doing both aerobic and anaerobic exercises reminded me of the times (in high school) when I used to be really fit, and Im gonna shoot for about 190 pound body weight after shedding 5 more pounds of fat. Right now Im at 183~185, so should be a reachable goal if I keep this up for another two, three months.
Anyways, Im off to shower (since I havent in two days) then work out / run then shower again.. Bye.
