I’m moving to Seattle with my friend Yoshi. He’s been planning on moving up there for over a year (his girlfriend lives there), but I just decided this week because I realized I’m not going to be able to make…

My friend Alethea and I were trying to come up with things an otherwise attractive person could say or do to completely make them undateable. Let’s watch: Can we wrap this up soon? My mom wants me home by eight.…

Guess what the mailman brought me today: A Pocket Watch!! Which means that I can now tell the time… FROM MY POCKET!!!

You know, celebrating Ramadan is a lot easier when you don’t believe in Allah. All that praying and forgiveness would be quite annoying

The struggle itself is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. — Albert Camus, in his 1942 essay of the absurd, The Myth of Sisyphus John Cottingham says that we must act in the [[praxis]] consistent…

Oh, dear Ramadan started today and I’d already eaten cereal. Oh, well, Allah is a forgiving God (HA!). Thirty days of fasting start… NOW

This is a quick meal for those of you who are in a hurry mornings to get to work. This shouldn’t take more than five minutes to make and promises to be a healthy, filling, nutritious, sexy meal to fill…

I’m going to post an update of what I’m doing… coincidentally, what I’m doing is posting an update of what I’m doing.

“Suddenly, after seeing that movie, rape doesn’t sound funny anymore.” – Pixel’s friend Frank Jagear after watching Mystic River Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz has just released a new memoir: “… and his Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman…

“Originally, when I saw all of the horrible things that the Nazis did to other humans without even thinking twice about it, I thought: how could I get this sort of power?” — Pixel’s friend Frank Jagear on the Milgram…

Is all a-twitter. I think it’s drugs.

Blinking through sleep

As some research for a response to a voluntary poll at Radioactive Jam’s site, I inexplicably joined ‘Twitter.’ It’s the 20-minute dating response to Myspace. Or perhaps a better simile would be that it’s like Myspace with ADHD… In any…

So there I was, complaining about people who keep telling bad jokes or anecdotes then laughing at them. I said that nobody else finds them slightly amusing and that those people should realize how assenine they are when the person…

I’m going to participate in Ramadan this year and I can’t tell you why. It’s not because my reason is some secret, it’s because I couldn’t explain it to you if I tried. I’m not muslim, nor do I know…

Hello. It’s me. Now you say it. I have some wisdom to impart unto you and I hope you are less like me than I was when I was you. I hope you decide to listen to me because it’s…

Richard Dawkins refuses to debate Creationists. He says that the reason for this is advice from Stephen Jay Gould (himself famous for the “Darwin Wars” debates). Gould said that, whatever the outcome, Creationists would win, because the very fact that…

Never do a favor for your friends that requires you to sign anything or use a credit card. In fact, never expose yourself monetarily for anybody if you can help it. (Warning: I just gave you the moral of the…

As you might or might not know, I (the real me, not the me that I make up to seem cool) am applying to graduate school this year. I’m hoping to be Dr. Pixelation Qyw Styx III within five years……

Least sensitive things ever said: Ooh, look, they have some early morning fireworks over by the World Trade Center! How was it living on beach-front property for 14 years, Mr. Dantes? Oh, it was terrible! You don’t know what it’s…

In rereading an essay I wrote several years ago for my paradoxes class, I noticed that I was marked off for assuming that the universe existed. “A universe is a necessary being?!!” My teacher said. Allow me to defend my…

Apparently, it’s hard to classically condition people. For a while now I’ve been trying to condition people to check my blog regularly like malnourished orphans hoping that the lady who runs the bread line will get over her hangover soon.…

How karma should be practiced: be nice to strangers, respect life, do not cause harm, all else being equal, choose the path which generates the greatest good for the greatest number. How karma should not be practiced: To ease your…

Karma is a good philosophy to live by. I say that because I think that a society in which everyone believes in karma is more likely to be nicer, easier and happier than a society which believes in the opposite.…
