So for a long time the weather has been the de facto topic for small talk. But as of late, the weather has actually become a legitimate conversation topic. Thanks to global warming/climate cycles/whatever I’m constantly trying to figure out if someone is genuinely interested in what they’re talking about.
Just some food for thought.

I want to walk like snow falls
So I was thinking about how I spend a lot of my free time in my mind, thinking things through. That’s right, thinking about thinking. Awesome.
Anywise, I thought of how I liked teaching people new things, because I always learn something new myself. This is one of the principle reasons why I would like to become a teacher. Then I thought of our symposium, and how we were literally teaching each other philosophy, based on our own experiences. I thought of how I learned something about myself, through teaching my philosophy.
This is because I am the subject.
Is philosophy simply trying to teach others about yourself?

So, this is an idea that I’ve had floating around for months now. I’d suspect it came to me sometime torwards the end of summer, August or the like.
I would like to get a wristwatch (analog) tattooed onto my wrist, but not tattoo any watch hands. So the idea being I could draw in whatever time I would like with a pen/marker/whatever, or just leave it blank and let it be ‘timeless.’ I like the idea of having a dynamic piece of art on my wrist, which I could change (slightly at least) whenever I liked, using the watch face as my canvas. Keep in mind I wouldn’t only be drawing on watch hands, but words, designs, whatever was appropriate for that moment.
I’ve told several people this idea, and while some like it, and find it clever/interesting; others think it’s an insane idea, and have strongly opposed this idea. I think it would be wonderful, and I assure you I have thought this through. The idea has been on my mind very often, to the point where I will glance at my wrist to check the time (I don’t wear a watch). If I had to cover this for some reason, a long sleeve shirt, or even a real watch would do the trick.
I am quite serious about doing this. I’ve been meaning to write an entry about this for some time, but it never came to my mind when I was posting. I remembered today, when I saw this post about a wristwatch piercing. I’m not really a fan of piercings (at least on myself), but the piercing is nonetheless interesting. (As far as piercings go, I’d think the Pierced Eyeglasses are more practical / cool)
Anywise, what I would like about a tattooed watch is that I would be able to design it from the ground up. It certainly doesn’t need to adhere to traditional watch designs, and I don’t expect it to. I’ll be designing that as I get free time. While I am quite into this idea, I’m probably not going to go through with it for some time, due to financial constraints. I really don’t have money to throw at a tattoo right now, or even in the next couple years (bus takes priority).
Eh.

So, I realize I have not updated since I got back in the states. I’ve been out enjoying the real world. It’s nice.
So I come back to the digital world only to discover that there are still many worlds awaiting me.
fl0w is one of those. This is very similar to what the first stage of Spore will be like, so if you’re as anxious as I am, enjoy it.

So I spent 10 days down in St. Lucia at Coconut Bay Resort and Spa, which was pretty cool. If you’re ever planning on heading down that way, I’d highly recommend it. The weather is nice, the people are nicer, and the landscape is breathtaking.
That’s all I’m going to say about that.
