everything. the way things are going. the intricacies of things and
the relative meaningless of everything.<br />
<br />
songs, baseball, girls, music, education, music education,
softball.<br />
<br />
the way i think, learn, and teach;<br />
the way others think, learn, and teach.<br />
<br />
'god', 'gaga', etc. yeah, i'm a space cadet.
moving the hell out of oakland!<br />

chilling at home with my soulmate, and what that / he would be
like.
how to make my life a paradise on earth
the untouched cultures in different parts of the world...how do
they do it?!
a little bit of everything. but mostly social influences and how
everybody's connected one way or another. there's a fascinating map
of humanity out there, and it's interesting learning how people are
influenced and how they influence.
the environment and how we are totally, like, killing it. you
know?<br />
<br />
ok not really, i think about sparkly pink shit, obviously. :)
sex<br />
the present moment<br />
the future-both immediate and up to 2012 and the long-term
future<br />
traveling<br />
politics<br />
debate<br />
music<br />
football
love.
menus, friends, social justice, music, film, art, traveling, sex,
relationships, changing the world to a much better place, where i
am going to explore on my bike on the next ride.
social change--with ethics, beyond dominant pre-determined morality
divides. understanding. what capacities can i bring here?<br />
<br />
i also spend alot of time thinking about food and television and
travel.
how to decipher the news from all sources, how to make more money
doing what i love to do, how to make sure my girls are getting the
best i can give, why i can't find a woman who is both attractive to
me and smart, funny, compassionate and sexy without being either 6
feet tall or 250 lbs!<br />
<br />
why do women post pictures of their animals on dating sites? what
have animals got do do with anything unless you've got some "doggy
master" fetish thing going on, i say put your best pic up and don't
mention soulmate or beaches.<br />
<br />
are manchester united going to win any silverware this
season?<br />
and how can i create something unique and beautiful that will
somehow turn into financial gain..
my imminent retirement. a short story idea about chivalric ideals
of the high middle ages, on-line dating, and how the two seem to be
in general opposition to one-another.
in no particular order, i often think about the weather, war,
peace, love, money, lost, sex, food, travel, fame, disneyland,
politics, the environment, massages, ice cream, shoes, the
internet, pirates, the future, the past, yoga, pizza, religion,
death, and my mother.
useless shit, or things about filming, or the little things, or
that one famous question about life, i'm trying to complete the
puzzle here!
any number of things.
a lot. life and love. i also write in my head. i'll write a poem in
my head and put it on paper a week later.
cleaning and how i don't want to do it, shoes, comics, movies,
bills, time travel, having my own t.a.r.d.i.s., surviving the
zombie apocalypse, video games, costumes, curling my hair, cutting
my hair, seeing the avengers again and dancing when nobodies
looking.
balance
things that could go differently. not in an
alternate-history-fiction sort of way - a much smaller scale.
just... differences. not quite sure how to explain it.<br />
what i have to do today. i make lists, and promptly forget
them.<br />
dance. there is always music in my head.
traveling, fixing my house, my family, and finding a good partner.
how to squeeze more than 24 hours out of a day<br />
my next adventure.<br />
sustainability<br />
what to create out of little bits of this and that<br />
my next meal.
the end of the world, seriously all the time!<br />
<br />
what it is i'm actually doing<br />
<br />
winning the lottery
goals, future, politics
ways to allocate my time! i'm a fulltime student, but i'm involved
with different groups on and off of campus, so i'm always thinking
of ways to get the most out of my time and the most out of life.
the song i'm writing, what's for dinner, how the garden's
doing<br />
<br />
the cyclical nature of time, the transformative nature of
creativity, our capacity to evolve in ways far beyond the physical
how the little things that we do can impact the big picture
what song to put on next
what to make for dinner--it always stumps me!

thats pretty hard to answer right now for some reason.
music<br />
art<br />
the vidya
relationships (not in one, but would eventually like to), travel
(possible future destinations, but not including the moon), music
(i'm constantly playing some type of tune in my head), space and
work (pulling hair. argh!!!).
my daughter and our future!
my family and how i can improve they life style
humanity.
where my next travel destination will be..
everything...<br />
<br />
tout de sorte des choses<br />
<br />
burritos. mmmmmm....
the future. mad men.
where i want to travel next and future business growth!<br />
also my beautiful bassett hound/ german shepard named kenya!
1. figuring out where i want to travel next<br />
2. how to enjoy and live a happy, meaningful, and fulfilling
life<br />
3. how to make more money, create wrath, and achieve financial
independence<br />
4. who i want to spend rest of my life with
loved ones, great times, difficultly overcome, the present, future
hopes and dreams, sex.
things i can do with my friends. all the crap i have to do at
school. the lyrics to the latest song i've gotten hooked on. and
that big office i have when my brother and i finally start that
game developing company together. the back story to a games i've
got brewing up in my head.
- being happy with simple things.<br />
- whether lightness is unbearable.<br />
- how to get to know someone without asking any questions.
the game (i just lost), and the technological singularity that is
quite possibly impending.
when and where to take my next vacation.
being in the moment and not missing it. and if l like it i think
about how i can be there more often.
nothing. my mind is a complete blank at all times. like a zen
fucking master.
what's next
life is good....
what my future has in store for me. i am a real go getter as i set
goals for myself and strive to achieve them. i am currently doing
my ma in education. i often times think about friends i've met
along the way, in my travels, while teaching abroad, and friends
that i don't keep in touch with anymore.
music, tattoos, trains and what the fuck im doing next. the
destruction of civilization and the separation of health and
institutionalized medicine.
how to develop further, traveling. how to not be a snobby euro :-)
my kids<br />
new opportunities
...just whom i'm going to find on ok cupid. ;) okay, maybe not *a
lot* of time. i spend time thinking about internet radio, google
searches, trying to understand political maeuvering, and my
sweeties.
lets see, nerdy things like muppets, wallace n gromit, comic books,
computers, and the like.<br />
<br />
a very particular sexy woman.<br />
<br />
what i need to do to make that next mini goal towards the overall
goal of achieving mini goals.
why people would rather suffer than tell the truth.
whatever i am doing at the moment, renovating my house in north
oakland, sex and love and what's it all about...
life and the world around me. love, the future. a lot of self
reflection
whatever was just talked about like 5 min ago. i'm add and i move
quickly to the next thought.
i spend a lot of time thinking about my future and my future
gf/wife :d
how lucky we all are to be here.<br />
whether i'll finish the book before it's due at the library or
should i renew it.<br />
what it's like to be a guy.
personal jurisdiction ;)
what i am going to eat next:)
making things out of other things, and finding their center
whether or not math is true.<br />
<br />
what <em>is</em> reality?
whether exercise of free will is a sufficient condition for
happiness, or if it's merely necessary. whether foodie culture is
really an appreciation of craft or whether it's merely a specious
simulacrum of the lost commons. whether i use the word simulacrum
correctly. if i should be living in boulder instead of sf. also,
planning the weekend's adventure.
bacon. what you're wearing under there, and what your totem animal
is.
what my future brings to me and if i am meeting my goals in life.
also the ones i care about.
not enough room here
how to make my grape nuts tastier, and how a loving god can allow
suffering in the world. :)<br />
<br />
whatever michael krasny has been talking about that morning.
why facebook won't allow me to write "penguin mating calls" under
known languages<br />
<br />
parallel universes o.o,<br />
what i can do with the time i have on this planet,<br />
who id like to spend it with,<br />
if i should do laundry today(i should)<br />
getting a dog,<br />
new ideas for photos,<br />
that i should really get around to making a tumblr(but probably
won't)<br />
sex and love<br />
and all around, an awesome future :d
i like the often refreshingly blunt and uncomfortable insights
about us that are laid bare by oktrends.<br />
<br />
on the subject of oktrends, you might notice that my profile says
i'm 6'2" tall. but if we measure in okcupid inches, i'm nearly
6'4"! we know this because oktrends cleverly deduced that men here
inflate their height by an average of 2", while i happen to know
that i only inflated mine by a fraction of an inch, so as to get a
round number. (clearly i'm a rebel, living dangerously! or
something).
music mostly... then how to stop deforestation in the tropics. i
think about women a lot too, but not always in the way you think.
sometimes in that way though! i am only male...
how to fill the sausage casings<br />
<br />
+ anything else that involves a kitchen
my friends and those i care about. also where i want to go in my
off time. i love road trips. :)
what my next adventure is going to be and where i'll end up in
life.
how to balance everything i'd like to do with everything i need to
do.<br />
ways to teleport between the coasts.
health, environment, sports, friends and oh (ahem) .... world
domination.
how people's brains work<br />
if dolly parton is an android<br />
what i should have for dinner<br />
what my next adventure is<br />
what species i would be in the world of startrek
the meaning of life, my next meal, how to fix the american health
care system, sex, and my next trip.
how to oust the tea party from congress. accepting what i can't
change and maintaining my sense of humor through it all!
what i want to be doing with my immediately life (next few months),
but not so much long-term.
the world and what i can do for it
our galaxy and universe, space and time. dreams. girls. i'm<br />
constantly thinking about everything going on.
how to survive the zombie apocalypse when it comes... and yeah,
it's coming!!
how to out climb my friend audrey at the gym
i think about a lot of things, often about present-day things but
sometimes not. working on my imagination -- wordplay is good, but
dreaming new worlds is better.
my future. what i want out of life.and how to make my life less
stressful and more successful ! and i dnt spend lots of time
thinking about love but usually when i can't sleep at night i think
about if i ever will find someone who will be my bestfriend and
love me for me !
from what other perspective i can use to reflect on whatever
thoughts are running around in that little pesky head of mine.
work, and fridays (the day, but sometimes the restaurant)
music,<br />
why is effortlessly so hard to say?<br />
a kids in the hall sketch i saw that day.<br />
how to make something funny.<br />
am i hungry?<br />
i should get another coffee<br />
my okcupid enemies...and if any of them are planning some sort of
attack...
all the ways the world could be better, and how so much human
energy is squandered. but lately that makes me aggravated, so i'm
in a period of examining how i can put forth my effort and accept
the wonderfulness of others, as chaotic as it can be.
well, i can tell you i've spent a lot of time thinking about these
essays. a friend suggested i be "charming" and insert more "me"
because apparently i'm "damn charming" sometimes. riiiiiight. what
does that mean?<br />
<br />
i spend a lot of time worrying, but that has this amazing upside.
i'm an organizer. i like to see things happen. i can get five
friends together from opposite sides of campus in no time at all.
but in all this organizing, i'm falling in love with spontaneity. i
spend a lot of time thinking about going on adventures. about
dancing in underground bathrooms at nighttime after a great date.
about how to insert more harry potter references into my daily
life.<br />
<br />
the next time i get to take my pants off. not in a sexual way, in
an i-hate-wearing-pants way.
what i have to do next
possibilities, temptations, deviations, subtext, sub-cultures,
irony, eloquence, sensuality, excursions...
how to keep life interesting and the meaning of it all. you know,
the simple questions.
i like to invent things, so i wind up spending a lot of time
planning out projects. i also enjoy thinking about physics and
philosophy.
the future.
the fact that i'm hungry (usually am) and wondering what i'm going
to eat next. the coming apocalypse and how to survive it. where i
left my cell phone. what people i love are up to, and when i'm
going to see them again.
what's next?
travel, family, money.
i am a compulsive thinker , so this question is too hard to narrow
down
poverty<br />
innovation<br />
education<br />
avocados
i actually spend a lot of time thinking about sharing my time with
someone, and who that might be. i am very outgoing and social
publicly, but have been single for some time now. a big part of
that has been introspection on what i actually want out of a
partner in life, and i've found myself taking the time to really
get it right. i think i've really figured it out now, so the next
trick is how to find her...
dreams...........
oh boy.. i spend a lot of time thinking, i won't lie. it is mainly
about what is next in my life and what i can improve and work on.
apparently today i was thinking about meeting new people in town..
hence me filling this out.
my future how i want a steady job that i love and i want to buy my
own house by the time i am 25
as a psychology nerd, i recently uncovered this nugget: ninety-six
percent of women reported that they like neck kisses, while only
about 10% of men do, so a guy will not even believe that a girl
likes being kissed on the neck because it doesn't really do
anything for him. so sad. i'd like to do my part to fix this stat.
hmm, the odds a neck kiss make a woman happy are a whopping 1 in
1.04.
if trader joe's will ever have better samples than hummus and
crackers on the weekend
i'm teaching myself not to think so much :)
happiness.<br />
the science of happiness.<br />
the spirituality of happiness.<br />
the practice of happiness.<br />
where these three collide and intersect.<br />
happiness.
why i just came into this room...?
my next trip. i travel a fair amount.
where my next trip will be, who will come with me, what to do
tonight, why do people wear excessively expensive stuff that
absolutely don't fit them, why do bars close at only 2am, when will
i go skydiving for the first time.
girls.
about finding the right person to share my life with.<br />
and a big piece of choc cake......
i love to think about two things, mainly: people, and
everything.<br />
recently (a running list): how much i appreciate my family's<br />
apparent understanding that i need to drink whiskey when i hang out
with them; why jesus being born to a virgin is a "miracle"...in
a<br />
man-dominated world you would think we would have realized
that,<br />
far from being a "miracle", this takes men out of the equation
of<br />
our species' survival and is therefore a calamity (yet, it
does<br />
make sense in the context of the male's quest to subjugate
the<br />
female as part of our overall retribution for discovering the
value<br />
of having some veto power over sexual intercourse...damn her
for<br />
figuring that out--the real original sin---fuckitall, we don't
need<br />
you, we've got a messiah!) (...rant alert...); what santa gets for
christmas; that atm's should say "congratulations!!!" instead of
"now dispensing cash"; my life plans a through e, in reverse order
of practicality; how old i was when i realized that the special
sauce in big macs was just thousand island; perfectly ridiculous
product ideas that would sell huge to late-night tv audiences; what
to say when finally getting around to doing an open mic; how to
pose othello and steve for preposterous pictures; what to sing;
source-ery.
what i'm going to be doing on the weekend and what i will be making
for dinner that night.
feminism, queer sex, lesbianism, identity politics, fisting,
fashion, textiles, art projects i want to make, art shows i want to
curate, finger banging, my future queer land, feathers, death,
hope, magic, the people i love.
dirigibles, and how much i'd like to commute in one. floaty,
floaty, floaty, float!<br />
<br />
puzzles, problems, and games of the mathematical sort.<br />
<br />
how clarinets would be easier to play if they overblew on the
octave.<br />
<br />
whatever ridiculous thing it is i'm trying to learn this month.
currently: japanese.
life... where i'm going and what i'm doing. wanna move up, up, up!
so i'm always planning on the next step. :)
how incredible this moment is<br />
<br />
and learning how not to think too much
clouds and space. sometimes the ocean.
my future<br />
my next tattoo design<br />
what next step i want to take in my career path<br />
sex like everyone else in the world
various philosophies. i'm a serious "truth-seeker" type person. not
the kind that shoves shit down your throat, i'm the kind that's
always trying to figure things out for herself, and will
occasionally ask you questions too, just so you can think about
things and i can think about how your thinking is working and what
you're thinking about. krishnamurti is hella unintentionally boss.
contradictory statement right there, but i think you know what i
mean if you know who that is.<br />
<br />
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=life">life</a>
pheronones and enzynes an shit
how fucked up things are, how to hold that while simultaneously
live my life how i want. what i want to do and how i will do these
things. how to deal with being so old inside.
peace, love, joy, gratitude, appreciation, celebrating life,
abundance and prosperity ..........
if i'm not planning my next adventure, i'm being one of those girls
that look at all of the cars on the freeway and wonder where each
person is going, or coming from, or how their feeling... i'm a
curious cat i guess
thinking i think too much
bullshit!
filmmaking
pretty much the same thing most people do.
how to impact the world and make it more efficient.
what language would be most beneficial for me to learn on a
conversational level.<br />
<br />
whether or not i should shave my mustache. i have an awkward
relationship with it. i love having it but hate the way people
judge me because of it.<br />
<br />
how crazy people are.<br />
<br />
ignorance of certain people.<br />
<br />
the 'dumb driver' in front of, beside, or behind me.<br />
<br />
the decline of the human race.<br />
<br />
why?<br />
<br />
why not?<br />
<br />
future.<br />
<br />
possibilities.<br />
<br />
tons of stuff i am a big thinker.
the meaning of life.<br />
there can be only one.
"i wish my identity weren't so wrapped up with who i am."--the
caption below a cartoon in the new yorker.<br />
<br />
"common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age
eighteen."--albert einstein.<br />
<br />
"si todos los das nos arreglamos el cabello, por qu no el
corazn?"--ernesto "che" guevara. ("if we fix our hair every day,
why not our hearts?")
what my future will look like. the kind of person i hope to become.
myself in 5 years.
chocolate or coffee depending on the time of day<br />
educational reform and after school programs<br />
places i want to explore<br />
what's wrong with the world<br />
things i like in the ikea catalogue
witty facebook updates. really. haha. i admit it. i'm a facebook
junkie. :p really though. when i'm commuting, i like to sum up my
experiences in one liners: lotivio ... stepped onto the bus and as
she fumbled for her pass in her back left pocket she quietly
contemplated the future of transportation.<br />
or:<br />
lotivio stared at the child in wonder, as he loudly protested his
innocence while still wiping off the last remnants of the pilfered
chocolate chip cookie.
what i'll eat for my next meal. i love food.
how to make more money and work less.
how to make more money creatively, produce a play, moving to ny or
a bigger city some day
what i'll be doing in a few years
girls (not in a creepy, perverted, sexual deviant kind of
way)<br />
bikes<br />
what i'm doing with my life long-term and how best to put to use
the two masters degrees i'm still paying loans on.<br />
the girls/bikes part is more enjoyable...
vacations, art, music, exercise, my family.
time spent on doing things i'm thinking about
new activities i've never tried before. i have bucket list of
things i'd like to try. or even place i would like to travel to
during my lifetime.
international health and my role in it (still figuring that one
out!), reading one of the 30+ books i've stockpiled, where to
travel to next, and what to name my margarita stand if i give it
all up and move to a beach. also, i have to pinch myself all the
time: do i actually get to live here?<br />
<br />
and, how do they build those mini ships inside of bottles? it just
seems really difficult.
how / when to start my business.<br />
<br />
why does corporate america think that doing right by the natural
world is not good for the bottom line.<br />
<br />
why simplifying life can be so complicated but complicating it is
so much simpler.<br />
<br />
why as we acquire age, we also accumulate layers of prejudices,
fears and conditions.<br />
<br />
why doesn't everyone run barefoot.<br />
<br />
how to be a part of a solution rather than part of the problem.
life. the big picture. out of the box. that and women.
what i want out of my life and how to achieve it.
what i'm going to do/eat next, where i'm headed, the fucked up
state of society, whether i'll get accepted into any grad schools,
why she/he/you or other hasn't texted me back, why traffic fucking
exists, why my family is so crazy, and on and on and on. as you can
see, mere random thoughts consume my mind.
that which is and isn't known
being in the moment.
retiring in santa cruz, future projects, adventures, cake and
exercising off the cake.
living in the old time land and speaking in old english. i would
love to be called a lord.
planning my next vacation and scuba diving.<br />
meeting the right girl.
places i'd like to visit, places i'd like to live, what direction i
should pursue in my career, what it would be like to have a family
of my own
bus routes, getting out of retail, the young adult
choose-your-own-adventure scifi/fantasy novel i'll someday get
around to writing, art projects.
who i want to be when i 'grow up'<br />
relationships<br />
psychology
.. anything but what i need to do at the moment.
the future, things to design and experiment with, food, a
clusterfuck of things at once.
the future, and the next country i plan to visit.
life and all the possibilities it has to offer!!
tennis and finding that special someone
how brains work, how computers work, the universe, happiness.
my transition, and the well-being of my family and friends.<br />
i care a lot about them, and have lost 2 family members very close
to me. it's changed my life in a huge way and i will do anything to
protect them. i'm a family girl! once you're in, you're in for
life!
the things i want to fulfill and accomplish in this life. always
looking for a new challenge and adventure . being a role model to
my children and grandchildren and always hoping i have the right
words of wisdom when needed. the things i want to fulfill and
accomplish in this life. always looking for a new challenge and
adventure . being a role model to my children and grandchildren and
always hoping i have the right words of wisdom when needed.
why this world is unequal for completely arbitrary reasons and how
i can fix it.
mmm, can't really say i think of just one thing all the time.
-my future and how to get there. again, the answer everyone
says.<br />
<br />
-on a less serious note? perfect pairings. the way food tastes when
a sip of wine merges with it on your palate. the perfect bite.
exploration of food really excites me because i'm somewhat limited
in my exploration. i'm a wheatard and somewhat gluten
intolerant.<br />
<br />
-how ridiculously dorky i am. emphasis on ridiculous. case in
point: i went to comic con, but did not dress up in costume because
i was afraid i might look silly. at comic con. but, still really
wanted to go because sci fi and graphic novels are fantastic. no, i
am not a boy.
the future of mankind<br />
aliens<br />
whales<br />
agent smith's monologue with morpheus<br />
my business pursuits<br />
my artistic pursuits
places i want to explore, why people get into conflicts, why a
random hinge/bridge/button was designed the way it is, options for
getting from where i am to where i want to be
the future.<br />
<br />
how there's always money in the banana stand.
my next powder day. the vastness of the universe. why that dancing
homeless guy down the street from me is so damn awesome.
plans, the future (there's a difference), lighting, what animals
are thinking, how to avoid being itchy, hot, or disgruntled. how to
get more gruntled.
... recently it seems to be about "i spend a lot of time thinking
about...." :)<br />
<br />
ok, what i do spend time pondering is what i want to do next(new
hobbies etc) career move, etc. my true calling, i'm a scientist by
training but i can't help but feel there's something else out there
for me that's more suited to my personality and interests.<br />
<br />
etymology, for some reason i find it fascinating(not that i know a
lot about it though).<br />
<br />
i also think a lot about the causality of actions that people
take(myself included) both on a individual scale and
group/social(culture) dynamics. i like to understand why people do
certain things.<br />
<br />
when my next trip back to japan will be.
this site really wants to get inside my head doesn't it? it's kinda
scary in there. a rough smattering - legal things (sorry, it
becomes all consuming), nfl - particularly the niners (and the fact
that i kept a negative message about them going all season 'cause
they were playing well under it and i was clearly influencing that
positive play). and then, mostly because i can't help myself, i
actually do think deep thoughts about the social and political
structure of our world.<br />
<br />
trust me, it's a lot more interesting of an internal conversation
than you'd think.<br />
<br />
(also cracking up about the fact that i'm apparently a lot more
arrogant - um, ok, if you say so okc - and less well mannered -
this one i'd actually take issue with, but i guess you'll just have
to take my word on that - although i do like putting my elbows on
the table at dinner, it's more comfortable. and the fact that i'm
apparently that much more energetic than most people is a really
frightening comment about how lazy most people must be.)
politics, where to travel to next, other things to do with my life,
my friends and family whom i don't see often enough, starting a
band again, sleeping in (ideally not alone, and ideally not just
sleeping)
my purpose on this planet and whether i'm fulfilling my destiny.
the next trip i'm going to make, what i'm going to cook for dinner
that night, what the next 10 years of my life will be like,
learning to sail, training for tough mudder.<br />
<br />
what excuse we can tell people about "how we met".
why am i thinking to fill this out. how weird i will look when i am
100 years old. everything, life, whats next, am i where i am
supposed to be, where is the next place i will travel and what i
will try, why do dogs sniff each others privates?
architecture, but mostly i'm a big daydreamer with floating
daydreamy daydreams
what's coming next in my life and what can i do for my kids
pretty much everything - i analyse. i'm fascinated by the ways
feelings are expressed in the body, and find many of my friends
share this interest one way or another - through complementary
therapies (which i've studied myself), t'ai chi (ditto), shiatsu
(ditto ditto), yoga, dance, singing...
languages, cultures,traveling, social issues, friends and family,
dancing, school, love &amp; making love. etc.
internet startup ideas that will add value to people's lives, all
the stuff i wanna do: explore, run, sail, fly, check out the moon
etc etc.
who i'm gunna meet from okcupid =p
space, negative space, stars (space not media), dreams or reality,
and what was i thinking about?
what i can do to improve myself and help the others around<br />
me.<br />
<br />
what might be happening in an alternate timeline version of
my<br />
reality.<br />
<br />
why old people are ruining the world slowly before they<br />
leave.<br />
<br />
how i can convince the us to get rid of the penny.
politics, the future, mistakes and triumphs, possibilities, goals,
my interests, and metaphysics / the universe (i was a philosophy
major...).
if i've already become middle-aged and hopelessly unfun. there's
this woman maybe ten years older than me in my running group. if
you asked what the first thing i noticed about her was, it would be
her incredible, overwhelming blandness. her hair is literally the
color of <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=field+mice">field
mice</a>. she works as an <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=actuary">actuary</a> at an office park in san mateo.
later, i realized she maintains this blandness by crushing fun and
eccentricity wherever she may find it. she likes <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=modest+running+shorts+in+neutral+tones">modest
running shorts in neutral tones</a> and <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=brunch">brunch</a>. i imagine her ipod has censored,
radio versions of the most contrived pop music, not even <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=muzak">muzak</a>. she hates <a class=
"ilink" href="/interests?i=anything+frivolous">anything
frivolous</a> (and apparently by proxy, me.)... but then i started
thinking that i hate a lot of things that twenty-year-old me would
have loved. probably twenty-year-olds think i'm the worst because i
like <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=comfortable+shoes">comfortable shoes</a> and hate
staying up late... so pretty much <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=my+own+mortality">my own mortality</a> and running
fast.
what i am going to write on this stupid profile! is anyone really
reading this crap anyway? obviously i spend a lot of time thinking
about music! a good amount of time thinking about wine, and the
rest trying to figure out how to improve my financial situation and
make the world a better place without compromising my personal
integrity!
anything and everything. the state of the world, whether i'm worth
my weight in gold, how the tale that's my life will one day be
told, how it is we become old, whether love is something to be
bought and sold.
what im going to eat next
life, what i want out of it and how to enjoy it to the fullest.
fish, fishing, machines, food, plants, what i'm supposed to be
doing/why im not doing it.
*how i can make a living doing what i really love...and how to find
the capital to do it.<br />
*if i look as old as my same age counterparts...wait, don't answer
that!<br />
*if i should start back up with vocal training. years have gone by
and i'm nowhere near my old 1st soprano range anymore.<br />
*why city guys refuse to date girls that live outside of the city
(i know why)...yet, despite my locale, i am oftentimes in the city.
go figure.<br />
*how i end up being a tour guide for all the transplants. i'm
apparently a very good guide.
how to make my business work.<br />
how to decrease the chaos in my life (although i think that's a
hopeless cause!) - i'd be bored without it anyway!<br />
friends<br />
next vacation
everything. everything deserves thought and people have an
unlimited amount of thought to throw out into the world.<br />
<br />
how i really don't have many friends that i can actually give a
call to and go roam the streets or get coffee with or what have
you. it makes me kind of sad. i try really hard, i just don't have
a lot of platonic friends. maybe you want to help me change
that?<br />
<br />
a while back i found myself thinking a lot about <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=polyamory">polyamory</a> and how it makes a lot
more sense to me from the first time i heard about it than
everything i've ever learned about relationships. i doubt that i'll
be falling back into the realm of traditional monogamous
relationships at any point i can foresee.
many a splendid thing...
my future. the idea of time travel. my favorite movie trilogy is
"back to the future."
i'm often pondering how we negotiate the transitions in our
lives.<br />
the writer in me thinks in catchy titles; stories are always
running through my mind. each of us carries stories and peoples
stories fascinate me!<br />
and then i'm also working on thinking less and being more, the
gifts from mindfulness and being in the moment.
where i'm going next...portugal, sardinia, greek islands
did you know that rihanna had trouble learning prepositions in
catholic school? but then when here parents transferred her to
public school she got it down right away. you could say that ...
*puts on sunglasses* ... she found "of" in a popeless place.
figuring out what next to do to my car.
lots of things, but if i had to name a few...<br />
mocumentaries i could make about the silliness in the world<br />
my next vacation
how to create a more beautiful world.<br />
methods to engage people into participating in creating and
building.<br />
<br />
my senses and how i'm experiencing the world.
the future and the past as they relate to me personally<br />
 whatever subject (possibly, but not necessarily, work related) i
am studying/researching currently<br />
 they way people interact with one another individually and in
aggregate (e.g., politics, commerce, etc.)<br />
 my relationship to the universe/existence in general
unicorns, cats, sleepovers, women, design, food, girls, family, the
future, space travel, jumping off things, and dinosaurs.
mostly thinking about bikes lately to shake off some rust from a
long absence. other than that it's really stream of consciousness.
in addition to all the things i have mentioned in my profile so far
i spend a lot of time thinking about philosophy, ethics,
theoretical physics and how to meet/date a girl talk about stuff
she is interested in which usually has excluded theoretical
physics, philosophy and ethics.
my move to the bay area. what it would be like / what i would do
with various super powers.
my perfect life.
...if i'll ever finish writing my great american novel, or just
finish a set of sonnets i've been working on for a while, and why i
can't master the perfect pie crust.
besides the usual "life, the universe, and everything," i currently
like thinking about where i can get acid.
everything. i think about the past, present, and future, and how
they are all related. i think about identity, purpose, relativity,
how anything is defined at all. i think about thoughts even, if
that's possible. think think think ...
unsolved problems of the universe. what is gravity?<br />
how much can the mind influence the world around us?<br />
how to explain my intuitive answers to other people.<br />
why aren't more people aware of the inconguencies between their
mind/body/spirit/emotive?<br />
the power of intention.<br />
how to avoid all forms of manipulation and how to be better at
influencing with integrity.
connection with people
why people are unhappy, and what can be done about it.<br />
<br />
metaphysics, formal logic, mathematics, education, the role of
science in society, political science, economics, history, world
affairs, and so on.<br />
<br />
i also spend entirely too much time thinking about smart phones,
open source software, and politics. i guess everyone needs a hobby.
my job and what to do after work.
the meaning of it all.
how i can make a difference in the world<br />
contribute<br />
connect to community
how to achieve world peace
ideas. i have a lot of ideas and am always coming up with new ones.
some of it applies to work, and others concern things to do, see
and accomplish in the world.
how can i get these little guys to stay in their rug spots? how can
i keep these little guys focused for more than 3 minutes? why is t
nibbling on that red crayon?<br />
<br />
but lately it's been more like, how can i make my summer days
productive and fun and not spend all of my money in the process?
you.
like everyone, travel. always thinking about my next trip,
adventure - here or abroad.
motorcycle rides i haven't done yet. parallel universes. how
anarchists justify making money from a system they wish to
debilitate.
-traveling to places, old and new.<br />
-learning new things.<br />
-the people i love and care about.<br />
-the world around me.<br />
-how to enjoy myself more and worry less.

where i want to travel to next.... (near and far) and what i'm
doing over the weekend
the future, i let the past be the past.
what life should mean to me and how my current views relate to what
i think life is about.
whats next in life for me
the san francisco giants and golden state warriors. i am a big
sports fan.
-whether or not an mfa program is in my future.<br />
-why people think that "enjoying life" or "living life to the
fullest" is a legitimate answer to any question...ever.
1) what other people are thinking. 2) the way people move. 3) the
next three months.
today.
way too many random things, with more intensity and focus than most
of these things deserve. for some kind of breakdown of say a top
ten maybe:<br />
<br />
stuff relating to philosophy of mind<br />
blues, rock and indie music<br />
tattoos<br />
zen buddhism<br />
how shop/live/eat locally and sustainably as a devout
omnivore<br />
girls/sex/relationships/etc<br />
cooking food / making beer / the science of the palate<br />
dna<br />
realizing the potential of my emotional intelligence<br />
playing guitar
hockey<br />
where i want to be in 5 years.<br />
technology<br />
work<br />
friends
my work and work team during the work week, but really do a great
job of compartmentalizing that. so during my very own time, i think
about relationships, what makes them tick, how to be a better
friend, no worries for the future, but thinking of the here and
now, and why tee tee smells funny when you eat asparagus.
my job, the patients that i treat and how i am going to make them
better. improving myself as a professional, gaining knowledge and
learning everyday...it's quite satisfying!<br />
<br />
but when i'm not working, i tend to drift off, and seemingly stare
at nothing for a minute or so, almost as if i'm in some sort of
deep thought or state of confusion, but in reality i'm probably
just thinking about food or something tasty.<br />
<br />
what the world is going to be like in twenty years when google
becomes evil and the machines take over. i wonder if it'll be more
matrixy or terminator-esque.
what makes people tick; what my dog is thinking; solutions to every
day things...the strange and mundane aspects of life...
whats next lol<br />
<br />
i have add<br />
my life is pretty active
toby does think about things. he merely feels and thus sets in
motion irreversible actions.<br />
<br />
ha. i loved what my friends wrote ^ so it stays. honestly, i wonder
if i can find a partner in crime to share this wonderful adventure
with. making our own adventure.
obscure topics
schoolwork, where i want to travel, cuddling, the future, music and
anything goofy.
that i know something about everything and a lot about
nothing.<br />
<br />
don't be fooled into thinking there's nothing to be known about
nothing, because without nothing there couldn't be a something
because the something must exist against a backdrop of nothingness,
else what's to distinguish the two.
places i want to see.
everything... i <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=think">think</a> a lot. i mean it, a lot.
how to live in a more meaning life!
how can i be so lucky at life and unlucky at love - just kidding
lol
when am i going to find a moment in the day to stop thinking and
quiet the mind?<br />
<br />
getting into the sunshine and the outdoors!<br />
<br />
which bank to transfer my money to, if i'm going to do it.<br />
<br />
all the places around here i still haven't been to.<br />
<br />
connections (local to global) and how disconnected we can be from
what's going on elsewhere.<br />
<br />
social movements, power, and how stories inspire change.<br />
<br />
is that person serious?
what's fresh, new, and exciting.
nonsense and how it pertains to perception.
creation.
whether we are along in this universe. whether humans will destroy
the earth. how on earth humans can produce enough food to feed the
world, though many people still go hungry. how there are
microwaves, gamma waves, radio waves and other invisible waves
floating around in the air.
everything &amp; anything.... i started to ramble in this section
but then caught myself... if you're interested in details ask and i
will share.
what about life is important, and things to do to make it worth it
how we can logistically move the cool furniture we find on the
street to our apts
programming, or the next concert i'm going to.<br />
<br />
also, why so many people in sf are so crazy on so many different
levels.
everything!!! the world is vast. possibilities are endless! if i
were to write down everything i was thinking about within 2 mins it
would be ridiculous.<br />
<br />
i think a lot about who i am in relation to a person or animal or
experience.. just where do i fit or influence. am i doing enough of
the right thing? ... i think about the past. i predict the future.
i think about what others find important and wonder why? lots of
why's goin on up there.
how to stay in the present moment......
what i'm going to eat next, or which new craft brew i should try.
the bay area has so much to offer!
my future!
irrational concepts and mobile apps. but i also spend a lot of time
thinking about how i'd love find someone that i can experience so
many things in life with.
sunsets, helping people, music, animals in nature
the magic of empathic communicating. how to free myself from too
much media overwhelm, so i can spend more time with my friends and
less time doing things that really are not soul nurturing.
sex. vacationing.
hockey - baseball - traveling - learning new languages - eating at
new spots - the cosmos
anything fun<br />
my dog<br />
family<br />
friends
strangers sitting next to me, the brain. music. music and the
brain, numbers, sunshine, wishing i could be outdoors, sandwiches.
this is a partial list, of course. i think about connection, what
makes people happy, asking a good question, attention--in an
artistic sense, poetry, literature, finding my photographic eye,
art, eating lots and lots of food.<br />
<br />
finally--let's be honest--utterly cheesy romance and fucking
brilliant sex.
how this world is put together, the little chains that form our
lives.<br />
<br />
what meaning is in the world, what is the world trying to say to me
- and figuring out what i want to say to the world.
what i should be doing.
...a lot of things, that's why i have problems sleeping.
-what i'm doing with my life<br />
-what my future will look like<br />
-random music lyrics<br />
-why i didn't go to bed earlier<br />
-nothing
honestly, i suck at keeping up with social networking. we all have
our own lives going on, right?!<br />
so i might take awhile to reply back sometimes. but rather than
beat around the bush you can offer your contact info and hopefully
we'll get to know each other better that way. not offering any
promises though! =)
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=bdsm">bdsm</a>, fun things to
do with people, and my biggest fetish: intelligent women.<br />
i also spend a lot of time thinking about my business, and going to
networking functions.
humanities place in the universe and why are people so mean to each
other? how i can be more effective in my position as a housing
advocate. politics, chess, art<br />
and last but not least beautiful women!
how to make the operations of the world work smoooooooother. if the
world could only get going with more harmony in mind i would be
pleased.

possibly edward norton(they have the same eyes.)<br />
<br />
is james bond a time lord?
food :p and finding that special someone. and sometimes cooking for

wilderness and less city in my life. how i can't stop thinking...
my next adventure.
world issues. space. meaning of life. i tend to deeply think about
many things.
the future and what it holds for me.
how to make a difference and what my next adventure's going to be..
the strange human body.
my next weekend away, start up ideas and traveling.
what i should be doing instead of thinking about the things i think
about
my thinking is fluid and don't dwell on anything in particular.
apartment hunting in sf. i love the warmer orinda weather, but i
have to go back to the city. lately, i've also spent a lot of time
making travel plans (short u.s. travel) and looking into some local
volunteer opportunities.
if the things i imagine are as funny to other people as they are to
me...which is rarely the case.<br />
<br />
how to make things more efficient and environmentally
friendly.<br />
<br />
why can't we all just get a long?
traveling (oh the places i've been and have yet to go!)
new songs and ways to word the lyrics,old memories of fun times
past,the cosmos,conspiracy theories,my friends,what a world with no
money would be like,will i get to go to space ever,why hotdogs come
in packs of 8 and buns in packs of 12, why people are so closed
off,
how can i make someone else's life better today and everyday.
whether it is sharing a smile with them. or volunteering to help
someone in need in what ever capacity they need.
how to have fun right now
what my new project or travel destination will be.<br />
<br />
while i'm currently planning out my 2012 vacations: san diego,
austin &amp; possibly thailand. i'm also knitting a pair of
armwarmers for my friend.<br />
<br />
what is the fascination with camping here?! i'm still trying to
figure that out. i'm willing to try it, but i guess i'm just a city
gal.<br />
<br />
whether or not i should purchase the death star legos set? my first
time at the <a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=legos">legos</a>
store in some mall, i stood there in the middle of the store with
my jaw dropped in awe. the salesperson asked, "is this your first
time in the store?" "uh huh," numbly.
trying to think less and feel more.
what the kardasian's are up to.
cartoons
world events, life meanings, my friends describe me as pretty
philosophical and pensive.
looking better than everyone else.
i spend a great deal of time thinking about what i want out of
life, and what matters to me in my relationships. i like to explore
how i feel about certain things, and i find i really enjoy the
journey of self-discovery. this means my tastes are constantly
evolving. to some, this can be off-putting. i, however, can't
imagine life without personal growth, exploring inner boundaries
and barriers.
current events/politics, my family, what shenanigans my friends may
be up to.... people who use words like "shenanigans"....string
theory, life, the universe and everything.
others.
places i've been or would like to visit.
time and time travel.<br />
chaos.head steins.gate<br />
random
godalmity! all sorts of things. all sorts of things.
sex food boys girls and all of those things combined.
sex. and psychopharmaphilosophical issues. thats pretty much it.
the future and how to better myself. learning patience and how to
deal with different situations.
what the hell am i going to do now????
social justice. how i can be a good teacher to my students. my
family and how everyone is doing.
many things, but i have learned to live and accept things for what
they are. everything has a moment and place. enjoying things and
doing them without thinking about them to much is what makes
everything or that thing fun to do. just enjoy life!
you name it, i'm prone to overthinking.
my purpose, staring into puddles asking myself, "who am i".<br />
and why they don't call missiles, hitiles.
my job. my family. when and where is my next vacation? my weekend
plans. my friends. politics and the stupidity that can go with it.
how to win. also: puppy noses, sunny nap time, and coffee.
my next outing? how i am going to breed certain horses? what i have
to build next? what's for dinner? amongst other things.....
my friends and fambly. whether i'm wearing too many patterns. if
its going to rain. how to make better eye contact on muni.
plasticity of cellular, mental, emotional and social states, how
those states come into being, how we can change, modulate and
augment them. also, where are the good parties this weekend?
food, it used to be my business. intrigued by social sciences and
technologies. and how to make people laugh and have a good time. my
friends believe i have a future in directing films because i have a
knack for character development.
anagrams.
business, money, and the future of my son.
sexual attraction - how sometimes it never goes away and sometimes
it's there one day and gone the next.<br />
<br />
how cameras actually work, and i guess therefore, how light
travels. hurts my brain to contemplate. send help if able.<br />
<br />
why it actually wasn't a good idea to make my username
"thighslikewhat". i'm still not convinced.<br />
<br />
why we are the way that we are
cookies, cakes, pies, and what next recipe to try.
what'd make a funny drawing.<br />
 whether i should make comics instead of animations.<br />
 how to make more time for art and less time for work.
why i cant cook, how i can be financially independent, and when i
can get my own car.
my outfits, my future and traveling to tropical places
my next travel destination<br />
that new gadget i really don't need<br />
the perfect pair of boots :p
how cool it would be to play an obscure instrument like a theremin.
the future, i actually think a lot about work... i kinda hate it
but i still do it.... mmmmm<br />
i also think about whats gonna be next step in life... bunch of
things are on mind ... always.
what jesus would do if he lived in san francisco...<br />
<br />
my untimely death (by means of vending-machine crushage)<br />
<br />
boys. they're distracting in public places<br />
<br />
what would happen if every time i used an atm machine: i started
jumping up and down when the money came out, yelling " i won i won
i won!"
what am i going to do after work?<br />
<br />
what song should i listen to?<br />
<br />
what should i eat for dinner?<br />
<br />
finding a cool girl that i can find companionship with.
my upcoming vacation. i'm stilling planning everything out. five
weeks in london, paris, monaco &amp; italy. amalfi coast here i
come!
cars/ females
how to create a life and environment that is positive for myself
and those loved ones around me. and it's not just about me and
those i know, i want a better life for my community - and through
my work and volunteering i'm able to contribute to that.
work. unfortunately... or what i am going to get into after i get
off of work
life this place we call the world
trying not to think too much
money and my daughter
my life.
family<br />
my future
as much as i love to paraphrase myself, i'll just refer you to the
above.
what i'll be doing for the week and where my next travels will take
me.
i think a lot about my career- what i want to do next, accomplish
in five years, etc. we live in an amazing place with so many
options, the sky's the limit. i'm fascinated by what's going on in
both national and global politics and am a super wonk who reads the
ny times often. and, of course i'm always thinking about where i'm
traveling to next!
my next travel destination, should i read one more page even though
it's 2am, where did i put my keys...
i try not to over think things cause my gut has mostly been right
thus far about the things that really matter.<br />
<br />
i think a lot about art: the philosophy, the history, and how it is
everywhere in everything we do as humans
what is middle class?<br />
how to implement healthcare reform?<br />
why do couples in asia wear matching clothes?
transient beauty
space, stars, the grand scheme, philosophy, the reason for random
obscure things, logos, puns, music, the meaning of whatever song im
obsessed with that week.
life... what's next for me...
if sparklers sparkle, shouldn't twizzlers twizzle?
not thinking, meditating, living fearlessly, and being in the
moment. gratitude, dreams, frozen yogurt with chocolate chips, and
good coffee distract me.<br />
<br />
i wonder why okc is such a polyamory magnet? if you are polyamorous
please know that i am not. nothing personal, and not judging, it's
just not my preference.
like almost everybody, what life is about...what my goals
are...<br />
and what i will eat for lunch haha
forgiveness, pay love forward - make a difference!
europe (was recently in stockholm).<br />
when will we ever see intelligent mass-media.<br />
travel.<br />
cafe racers and classic cycles.<br />
my kids' futures.<br />
and more travel, but with whom to share it...
climate change and sushi.
if i was a member of the x-men, what would my mutant power be?
i spend a lot of time thinking about how to rule the world. and
dinner.
the future of our planet, philosophy, space (the final frontier!),
my animals, politics and this country's future.
my future endeavors
what its like to be a cat &amp; how to perfect my meow.
my future--both personal and professional.
how california is making me a 90 year old white republican male
since moving here two years ago, and its time to get out. it's
supposed to be the opposite, right?
projects that will lead me to a very nice life, retired in peru at
my beach house by the northen peruvian pacific coast
solutions to our education and health care crisis, the patterns of
our psyche, conscious evolution....<br />
where i want to travel, what i want to draw or paint or
write,<br />
my new business plan
nothing important really...just steady day dreaming lol
whatever song i'm currently writing. life in general, you know what
i mean!
now what.
the next 5 minutes.<br />
and the next 5 years.
i like to imagine that little unimportant things were arranged to
make my world more delightful! like for example i find a rubber
band on the ground. maybe i needed a rubber band! like maybe i was
just thinking about how i should organize my pencil collection.
yeah, and uh politics.
can i continue to explore myself as an independent entity while
forging new intimacy with someone else?
i'm often thinking about new creative projects, people i love,
adventures i'd like to have; how to spend my time immersed in
things i'm passionate about and less on silly life tasks.
people and society<br />
<br />
nature's beauty tends to get my attention more than anything.
sometimes it's a beautiful person, sometimes it's the forest, and
it's most beautiful when it's by accident.
today, i have been thinking about why some people write so much on
their profiles. sometimes, i think about if there really could be a
free lunch. often i think about the contrast between my
intellectual desire for better balance in my life with my innate
desire to just roll with it.
how to run a successful business in the future and use the money to
help people who have less fortunate lives.<br />
<br />
i admire people like bill gates, mark zuckerberg a lot since they
are very motivated, intelligent, and most importantly, they are
self made billionaires and the contribution they've made to the
society. i like to hear and read stories about these successful
individuals and it motivates me to reach my goals in life. yes, i
spend a lot of time thinking about how to be successful in my life,
define my own definition of what it means to be successful in life
and whom i should look up for. i want to be rich, but not for
myself. i understand having too much money does not mean that i am
going to have a happy life. however, in order to help people, i
need to help myself first by being successful in my life, and then,
travel around the world to help less fortunate people in the later
part of my life.
how cool it would be to be batman.
1 finding someone i could love.<br />
<br />
2 things to put together and take apart<br />
<br />
3 and possibly what step i can take next to further my
photography.<br />
<br />
the questions that continuously play in my head are<br />
<br />
-what's that made of<br />
-what makes this work<br />
-can i use these parts for something else?
what's coming next and why isn't 40 spelled fourty?<br />
do fish fingers and custard actually taste good?
honestly? probably about the novel i'm writing. that is some
pugnacious shit, to just up and say that you're doing something
like that, but seriously, it takes up probably 75% of my brain that
isn't thinking about hobos. i think hobos are a little amazing,
because they do stuff like store plastic bags in plastic bags and
yell at me about jews. they're kind of like audible bathroom stall
grafitti. or just bathroom stalls.
my next adventure
i spend my time thinking about what i will be doing next and what
kind of adventure i can do...i also think about my family and
friends.
what i'm going to do in the next few years, what sustainability is
and how i can better pursue it, whatever book i'm currently
reading, what fantastic meals i want to create next, how i can make
the world a better place in real and concrete ways, what craft
supplies i need for my next project, how i can get more involved in
local urban agriculture, how i can spend less time commuting to
work and more time soaking up sunshine.
history<br />
sports<br />
food<br />
great idea, now how do we monetize that...<br />
gym/bouldering<br />
design<br />
sleep<br />
when i will find someone to go on adventures with...
i try not to spend a lot of time thinking. it's futile. the trying
part.<br />
<br />
life. the meaning of life.<br />
inequity.<br />
systemic road blocks to the actualization of human potential.<br />
mindfullness.<br />
humanity.<br />
transpersonal psychology. the acceptance, understanding and
realization of deeper consciousness.<br />
relationships. essence lays in relationships.<br />
current affairs.
my future. i trend to think about the future in general almost all
of the time. whether it's about what i'm going to be doing in ten
years, or what i'm doing this weekend.<br />
<br />
what my next vacation is going to be.<br />
<br />
why everybody on my "activity" list lives in southern
california.<br />
<br />
why "more kinky" is at the top of my personality list...
what's the next step in my life? i also spend far to much time
thinking about baseball. is it baseball season yet?
i want my cake-and-eat-it.
what is irony? and how there are no naturally occurring<br />
"straight lines".
my job (in a good way), what to cook next, why the show dexter had
to introduce incest into its plot line......
crayons.
what song my neighbor plays at 6 am every morning. it's the same
song every day.<br />
<br />
how awesome it would be to be cussed out by gordon ramsay.<br />
<br />
how many people on the train with me right now are on some sort of
government watchlist.
my business and how i can better serve my clients - all while
having a blast.
my work... but apart from that: how music and abstract art can
create such strong emotional reactions; how the universe seems to
have causal mechanisms immeasurable by modern science and
obfuscated by organized religion (and how we humans might
manipulate those causal mechanisms); why people want what they want
and do what they do; this idea i have for a movie script.
how to continue to grow spiritually; how to have a positive
influence on the world; my friends and the people i love.
the nature of things and delicious food. lately i've been wrapping
my mind around psychoanalytic theories and their potential for
creating a revolution on the mind. now that summer's approaching
i'm also thinking about upcoming camping and hiking trips.
school and my life
what am i going to make for breakfast/lunch/dinner/whatever you
want to call the next meal? or else how to improve the last thing i
made.<br />
<br />
should i be a good student and actually study this weekend, or run
off and go backpacking somewhere?
what i want to be when i grow up.
what to play on my ipod. this is a serious problem, now i'm forced
just to set it to random.
my future. so far i've only been able to see a car, a house, and a
turtle named porky from idaho.<br />
<br />
also, i am always looking into networking opportunities while
figuring out what i can do in the next few years to increase my
chances of getting into a top mba program.
how to enjoy life
what i want for my future. my career and building a business.
hmmmm .... everything? ....planning for the future while living
every day. i guess i think a lot about my business, my next trip,
or 2, or 3, and my next rides....
why people are idiots? and if they weren't would this world be a
different place!!
people's motivations. which country i would like to go to next.
human nature - or is it nurture? when i'm gonna have time to learn
to tele ski. how to make a positive impact. inequality and its
sources.
contemplating the universe, metaphysics, eastern philosophy, and
social contract theory.<br />
<br />
i also love to debate politics and religion. i tend to play the
part of the devil's advocate and i don't think there are too many
people who know my actual positions on certain subjects. i am a
devout liberal and most of my views align with the far left, so if
i do bring up a point of view that does not align with liberalism
just know i am trying to get you to think of the subject
differently.
if i'm living a life where i consistently live my values.
ways to improve myself
generally im thinking about the book or books im reading. i like
authors who challenge me and keep me exploring their ideas after
ive put the book down.
what i would like to do with the rest of my life.<br />
who i would like to share it with.<br />
where we would like to go on our next trip.
stuff. just a lot of things. there is almost always something on my
mind. jobs, friends, sports stuff, random stuff.
understanding connection and chemistry.
how it is i have unlimited vacation, it's amazing really
the food in my refrigerator, and the timely consumption therof
before any of it goes bad.
what it would be like working remote and traveling the world or
alternatively opening a bar on some exotic island.
how important it is to be myself. share what i have with others.
enjoying the simple things in life. quality time. reading a good
book. being out in nature.
others<br />
how to challenge and develop myself<br />
being present in the moment<br />
what to do next<br />
having fun<br />
quieting my mind
how to make a positive impact on society through my work.
1. how to get my business(es) off the ground<br />
2. choreographing &amp; dancing<br />
3. my motorcycle, kevin<br />
4. life, the universe, and everything
how my friends are feeling today, etc. is the surf good today? lol
!! where am i going for work today?
what i'm going to do next.
that story i heard on npr when my alarm clock radio woke me up this
morning.
food<br />
how i can make myself better mentally and physically<br />
wishing i could sing like stevie wonder<br />
my next trip/adventure
how to best live my life
life, (what am i doing, what should i do, where am i going?,
etc.)<br />
<br />
whatever i am currently doing, (such as the games i'm playing, the
books i'm reading or the social events i'm attending). basically i
think a lot about what i'm doing in the near future.<br />
<br />
i've also been thinking about how people "work". what governs how
we are motivated and interact with each other. to what degree can
social systems be though of as larger organisms. (see meme (not the
internet fads).)
the next place i'm going to explore. the next person i'm going to
meet. what i'm doing with my life. my family and if they are doing
well back home. if we met in person would you see me differently.
guitar tone. optimal speaker placement. relational databases.
maximizing bass headroom. noises that echo in tunnels. repetition
as a form of change. discarding and reinventing axioms.
what i'm going to do next ---<br />
<br />
also my kids (daughter(33) and son (31).<br />
<br />
and the state of the country -- but i don't obsess about it.
lots of things.
stories, mostly. right now it's a tale of 4 warring tribes that
band together through making a sandwich (1 tribe for bread, 1 for
meat, 1 for cheese, and 1 for something else). i dunno. it sounds
like the hungry games.
how much i enjoy living life and planning my next great
adventure....even though the best ones aren't usually planned.
the future, finding my true passion in life, and where i would like
to travel next.
all the problems in the world and how i am just one person who
probably will have a limited effect on very few let alone all of
them.<br />
<br />
nice things i can do for friends.
new ideas, creating things, inventing.. thinking what's going to be
next.<br />
human behavior and why never appreciate the good things we have and
always desire the few we don't.
the future and music
kittens
-what i should be doing with my life.<br />
-how i dont know anything.<br />
-the nature of reality.<br />
-i need to study up on comedy, music, movies; these are the things
i dont know about but should.<br />
-the universe.<br />
-badassment and how to attain it.<br />
-how to get away with things.<br />
-living a libertine life style.<br />
-general hedonism.<br />
-cleaning up my life i.e. eating vegetables.<br />
-voyeurism.<br />
-what i am going to do when i get fired.<br />
-waiting for the ax to fall.<br />
-poop.
life, love and the universe.<br />
<br />
i think about how others perceive me, and worry about stupid
mistakes and misunderstandings of the past.<br />
<br />
i think about what the future of humanity will look like. the
probability of encountering intelligent extraterrestrial life. are
we forever bound by the speed of light? it is looking likely, but
what a shame.<br />
<br />
i think about the nature of consciousness and whether or not i am
likely to see a sentient ai in my life-time. if i do, i look
forwarding to seeing the general public dealing with associated
moral and ethical implications.<br />
<br />
i think about how one could improve society for everyone by simple
optimizations in everyday life.<br />
<br />
i wonder what will happen over the next few tens of years with
respect the general public vs. corporations and bureaucratic legal
systems that do not know how to keep up with technological
development.<br />
<br />
i think a lot about the optimal balance between individual freedom
and limitations of the same for the purpose of a global good. i
think about how most potentially very good governmental strategies
fall down due to the practical limitation that people almost never
live up to theoretical standards on which such strategies depend.
music, girls, my dog, and your mom
why the hell all the wrong men fall in love with me.
thinking about whats the next move for me in this crazy ass world.
the moment
what i'm going to wear to work tomorrow, errands i need to run, my
weekend plans, fun things to cook for dinner, things i've got going
on at the office. that all sounds bland, but i'm a pretty practical
person who believes that if you can't take care of the basics in
life (aka: if you can't remember when you booked a dentist
appointment or where you put your keys/glasses/wallet) you're doing
something wrong.
... the next fun thing on the agenda... how to make a bigger splash
esoteric global issues
why i am here on this earth? what do i have to contribute? how can
i help other people? why do they call it the pottery barn, when
there isn't any pottery and it isn't a barn? why are women are so
freakin' obsessed with their cats?
whether or not i am where i should do something else with my
life.<br />
<br />
travel and adventure
what to write in these boxes..... it is exhausting!
privilege<br />
open relationships<br />
resisting dominant paradigms
what i'm going to do next to achieve my goals and how i can be a
better person.
myself! ha ha...my book and how it's going to get to the
best-seller list if all i do is think about it. life as a
best-selling one-hit wonder. my dad, and how i need to maximize
time with him before fate snatches him away.
the future, and if humanity will be able to put aside its petty
squabbles and live up to our promise.
how to get the people talkin' more betterer.
the mess our country's in ( sorry, reality bites), how to make
things better, where to travel to next, random acts of kindness,
why i just walked into this room.
the environment and what we can do to save it.
where i came from and where i'm going (both um, metaphorically and
literally), new restaurants i need to try, why people hurt others,
the end of the work day, my vacation in may!
ask me!
my life and what i'm doing with it. patterns i'd like to change.
things i'd like to learn. hypothetical people i'd like to meet. why
there's so much complexity in the world, and ways in which to
combat this. games of various sorts (board games and card games,
mainly; since i was young i've been as interested in designing
games as i am in playing them).
the nature of reality. and awesomeness.
what i want from life, opening a restaurant in costa rica,
education reform, nutrition, women in technology, social media,
psychology, the apocalypse, snacks
my students<br />
song lyrics.<br />
family.<br />
lesson planning and grading
achieving enlightenment
that says it all: "i spend a lot of time [thinking] about." can't
add anything to that.
what i'm doing to make the world a better, more beautiful,<br />
healthier place. where do i fit in the great continuum?<br />
the nature of art and life. everything and nothing at all.
how messed up the world is and how i can positively influence
things in my own small way.
the meaning of life.<br />
what am i going to wear.<br />
who do i want to spend time with.
the line between the absolutely hilarious and the deeply unnerving.
my latest obsession is systems engineering. the handshake between
science and god (that non-existent, self-important prick, that he
is) . i'm constantly reading, obsessing over, and berating my
friends with a multitude of recent discoveries related to food,
music, and everything that floats on the border of the crass,
brilliant, and absurdly stupid. my friends and family, i dig those
folks.<br />
<br />
read as,<br />
the current state of the giants bullpen. and, boobs.
politics, power, financial meltdown.<br />
friends, wit, love, justice, sex.<br />
i'm a radical who has a problem with dogmatic people across the
political spectrum. anarchism with a little a? hello??<br />
<br />
the ongoing eco-apocalypse.<br />
(i do not mean this in the biblical sense, which is just silly. i
mean it in a scientific, single species causing, state-capitalist,
mass extinction.)<br />
we have done better. don't wait for the iphone mini singularity.
not thinking.<br />
<br />
or about what i'm eating, what i just ate, what to put on this
piece of bread i'm holding, who is going to make me pesto and how
can i put it on the bread, queer ecology, maps/geography, where in
this world i wanna go next, the insane amount of injustice going on
pretty much everywhere, the insane amount of love going on pretty
much everywhere.
life, morality, social issues...things of that nature.
what i'm going to do next for fun - where and with whom and how
much trouble can we get into....<br />
<br />
some of the questions on this site and a) who thought of them and
b) who would actually answer some of them....<br />
<br />
does the fact that i've never been to burning man (and probably
never will) mean that i'm not cool....?<br />
<br />
what contest do you have to win to get one of the cool "awards" on
this site?
life
unicorns.
being a good person, how i can do my job better and what's on tv. i
daydream a lot about love and with whom i'd like to share my days
and my life. i love going to see live shows, so i check that out
now and then. what new things i'd like to try.
"oh my god! they killed kenny!"<br />

yourself"<br />

* people are not taking the issue of giant monster ravaging our
cities seriously enough.<br />
* am i in the matrix??
the next step
weird sh*t.
social and political issues. although, i'm not quick to share my

how i can raise chickens and goats and bees! how to heal my back
injury so i can get back to all the things i love: dancing,
gardening, biking...
my son, the man of my dreams, traveling, what to cook next, how to
help children who've been enslaved, staying healthy and fit
definitions of success. self-directing myself through multi-tiered,
interlocking projects.
as little as possible. i would rather be discovering something new
or moving in harmony. thinking is highly overrated.
- is time real, or is it a concept that humans created so clocks
have value?<br />
- sex (i often feel like i am still in junior high)<br />
- moving a current project forward or what the next one will
be<br />
- buying another motorcycle<br />
- odd questions to ask when after a presentation, someone asks
"does anyone have any questions"? (the first on this list cause
several seconds of glorious confusion that meeting).
where i put my keys and wallet.
an alibi
life and how to live here and now. i want to make a positve impact
and i think often about to accomplish that.
what to do until ski season (please snow, come back!)<br />
where to catch the next concert<br />
what good music i haven't heard yet or listened to lately.<br />
<br />
with regard to people, i always thought tolstoy's three questions
were a pretty good guide for how to have the best possible time,
here and now, with the people around you.
lately, i've been thinking a lot about global justice and the
environment. in general, though, i'm usually thinking about
political philosophy or what's for dinner.
what i should put here to get the kids with the right kind of crazy
to want to hang :p
...how much time i spend thinking about things.
everything &amp; anything
my future and what will happen.
why god's grace is perfect and necessary, good fiction, good
non-fiction, what to cook for dinner, and i why i like making lists
so much.
what the fuck i'm thinking answering 1900 questions on here. the
next 50 years, how to accomplish my two goals in life, how those
goals will integrate with a long term mate, death (in a good way),
how to focus on one thing <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=entp">entp</a>, life metrics, problems that are np
complete or can't be solved in polynomial time. srlsly --&gt;

what movie i should watch tonight<br />
just how much can i procrastinate before actually doing my hw<br />
what am i going to do this weekend<br />
when am i getting my next care package from home<br />
how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
possibilities, whats next, random things...the next adventure!
finding that perfect balance between work and play, while staying
passionate and successful at both.
nothing. hehehe seriously it's a beautiful sort of un-thought,
thought.
sex.<br />
<br />
when i am not thinking about that, i also wonder whether working
for a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=non-profit">non-profit</a> is <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=masturbatory">masturbatory</a> or actually makes a
difference. or<br />
whether i should buy a new dress or a plane ticket to southern
california. or<br />
how non-traditional political actors achieve just and equitable
representation. or<br />
when i can fit in a swim, a movie and drinks with friends, and
doing my laundry in the same night. or<br />
if reading the new yorker at work counts as slacking or on-the-job
training. immediately followed by, am i a new yorker-reading
douchebag if i refuse to subscribe and only read online?
how to reach balance.
how i can make a difference, impacting change on a huge level,
being the greatest version of myself and having a fun ass time
doing it all! i am a boundary pusher and introspector (and word
maker upper) which means you just never know what you are gonna get
with me sometimes.
family, work, sex
the random things in life like life, love, family, friends,
relationships, people, work, memories, traveling,<br />
-why does grape flavor smell the way it is when actual grapes don't
taste or smell anything like it.<br />
-if parents say, "never take candy from strangers" then why do they
on halloween?<br />
-why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion
stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?<br />
<br />
i could go on...
the future. even though i am 29 i am already planning on how to
capitalize on every day of my life.
nothing. nothingness. alan watts.
-my goals and my family<br />
-patent law<br />
-languages/communication
schemes &amp; projects, how i am. the next meal, what the deal with
it is. music in loops.
constantly:<strong>food.</strong><br />
<br />
hourly: sex. and how i think and talk about it (especially online)
waaaaaay too much. i have the bad habit of sexting my guy friends
on a pretty constant basis. and yes, this is a bad habit because
they're usually impersonal mass-sexts that are often rhetorical
comments.<br />
<br />
daily: what sort of career i'm going to end up in once i finish
school. i'm currently in the process of elimination stage.<br />
<br />
weekly: how though no matter how many times i have it, drinking
milk flavored with hershey's syrup always reminds me of sitting at
my grandma's kitchen counter before going to bed.<br />
<br />
why girls put up such a fuss about the toilet seat. guys have to
take the 1 second to lift it up, why can't we do the same with
putting it down? sure it may make the bathroom less attractive at a
casual glance, but really, girls, is it that big of a deal? oh,
unless there are like 'splashes' n stuff. i'm cool with my male
roommates, but not that cool.<br />
<br />
creative ways to do in my roommate's dog. it's not really the dog's
fault that my roommate never bothered to train the thing, but it
doesn't make it any less obnoxious.
the universe. everything that is is made of stardust...we are the
consciousness of stars. i find that mind boggling.
hawaii (how beautiful it is, the ultra cool vibe of its peeps -
aloha spirit, how excited i am about moving back... someday)<br />
also, pretty much everything listed in the six things i could
never do without section.
where i am going to try to park my car every day when i come back
home.
how to create my next unfoldment.
should i wake up at 5:30am and ride tomorrow? why can't california
get it together to do half the things that its liberal reputation
would dictate that it should? oh my god i'm turning 30 what should
i do. what is my first tattoo going to be?
the future and what i need to do to get where i want to be, and how
hard i need to work.<br />
<br />
how i can give back in different ways and keep motivating people so
they succeed, and have that postive mindset.
the next thing i'm gonna buy for my new home.
life's odds and ends.
buying land, and how to make some dollars from running a little
farm. being contented far and away from the glamor of city living.
self-work. i'm a scorpio with a cancer moon, so, i'm an extremely
introspective person. i'm always trying to improve myself, my way
of thinking, and my connection with the divine. (by which i mean
the oneness of the universe, not jesus or some nonsense like that.)
i also spend a lot of time reading an analyzing others, and people
in general, as well as thinking about/researching economics,
politics, and the aforementioned rights issues.<br />
<br />
also, daydreaming about finishing my responsibilities so that i can
dance, twirl and play outside.
what i'm going to eat next, what i'm going to do tonight, what i'm
going to do at work tomorrow.
life in general, and hypocrisies of society. also, cooking, my
work, basketball. what my acceptance speech would be like if i ever
won some big award like a nobel peace prize or something. how badly
i wish the ending to the harry potter series wasn't such a letdown.
everybody should have died!
the future; what you're thinking about; what i wanted to say or
should have said; how not clever my username is; why folks don't
understand the problem with captioning a photo on here with, "took
this picture last night"; how to get out on the water more; that
friend i want to call.
anything and everything, but most of all how fortunate i am.
the future if i spend enough time thinking about it i can see the
future or at least avenues i can follow to get to certain places.
kinda how frank herbert describes paul muad'dib seeing the golden
path in dune i know you are saying yeah right and i am not claiming
this is surefire or even close to being accurate but its something
i have learned to trust as when i see a path i know i need to
follow it calls me till i begin to walk down it and the longer i
wait the more stuff usually that goes wrong
i am trying to figure out my next show and what the hell it is
about. think non-linear stories with music about geography creating
myth.<br />
<br />
i also spend some time thinking about where i am going and if i am
getting that phd i have been thinking about in performance studies.
combined with my other two masters degrees i currently hold in an
equally unprofitable subject, how can i go wrong?<br />
<br />
why i go to the desert every year... i am on the fence about going
back, but that being said, i think that the international community
i developed through it is awesome.<br />
<br />
these days i think a lot about how to balance, maintain, and foster
relationships with friends and others.<br />
<br />
how to make new mistakes, rather than the same ones time and time
again.
being happy.
weekends and vacations
how to best-spend my time.
right now? how many a's games i can get to in the next 2 months.
what parts to put in my car and boobs... sorry i love'em.. haha
...im honest<br />
<br />
ok ok.... honestly, the universe, parallel dimensions, the "god
particle", my future, my past, joining green peace and helping
people that desrve it, stuff i want to build and a billion other
things.
if i'll meet more nice poly -- or poly-friendly -- women that are
geek friendly and like casual sex as much as i do and can talk
about any of the things i've listed before, during and after.<br />
<br />
that i'm happy having my own place.<br />
<br />
funny new ways to sate my curiosity. it's constant.<br />
<br />
keeping the people in my life happy, emotionally and
otherwise.<br />
<br />
trying to stay sane with my bills and the lack of money to pay
them.
unfinished business.<br />
where my phone is.<br />
music samples.<br />
sex.<br />
what time it is.<br />
my family.
how to improve my life
recently...<br />
1) bike safety. it's scary out there!<br />
2) innovating (aka doing it better)<br />
3) gardening.<br />
4) traveling
my career, work, dating / relationships, spirituality
all of the fun i'm going to have playing all of the games that i
have!
the million things that are always flying around in my head.
media, rewriting, sex, where i am (physically,) quantitative and
qualitative data, how to make all sorts of things more inclusive,
usable, transparent and efficient
clouds. they are fluffy. actually, i like to solve problems. the
more abstract the better.
my carrier and traveling.
various projects, crossword clues, offseason sf giants moves, the
chronology of the fast and furious films.
candy and what makes something funny. what the hell my dog is
thinking. and why ok cupid recommends people to me that haven't
logged on since before the last super bowl.
what i can do to keep ahead, get more edge, be a better
person.<br />
<br />
how to make prioritizing my priorities a priority. now that i put
it that way, you're thinking priority is a weird word. but isn't
weird, weird too? ha.

quitting my job to become a full time tour guide in a different
city each year
the way things work and how things are made, why we serve kids
horrible food in schools, what type of a restaurant/cafe i'd open
given the chance, what time it is on the east coast, where i'm
having dinner tonight, that i really should sign up for an art
class/pick up my camera more often/volunteer more, how to reach
platinum delta medallion status.
my next meal; whomever it is i happen to be crushing on at the
moment; american politics; and the next 40 years of my life.
things i want to work towards. what time i have to get up in the
morning. why most people are terrible drivers. what kind of food i
wanna eat. if i have food in my fridge(also checking it multiple
times without it changing). if i can go running with someone.
pussy pussy pussy
how all the different people in dolores park came to be the way

things better.
i think too much. i'm trying to learn to think less and do more.

where i want to go. what i want to see and do.
what should i actually be spending a lot of time thinking?
my next adventure.
the state of life and society, women, skateboarding, the room
is the colon, semi-colon, or em-dash my favorite punctuation mark?
how great my life is and how thankful i am for what i have. how to
keep my kids on the right path.
man, this is a loaded question! but i am definitely a thinker.
luckily for me i am an optimist, or at least have really good self
defense mechanisms that allow me to feel ok about most situations
(i.e at least learn from the bad things). generally i think that
the world would be a better place if people were more open minded.
people and how they work. how much i say that people think is
funny. what bus lines go where. random situations i make up in my
head. also fluffy animals, i think about them.
how utterly boring i've become since becoming a perfectionist.
also, linguistics. prosidy is rather interesting. the world and the
ways in which it functions. what i can do with my life that will
benefit the world but also make me happy. my general philosophy is
that if one is happy you then make the people around you happy as
well. part of this is that i am always working on what i can do to
work on my faults.<br />
<br />
there are other things, but you'll have to ask if you wish to
discover them :-d. i like to answer questions and meet new people.

going sailing. doesn't really happen that much though.
whats out there for me to discover and explore?
sustainability. a good balance between enjoying life and helping
others. appreciating and noticing the good-small things in life.
everything
the work i'm currently putting off.
lately about the places i want to travel too.
i think a lot about the futur (in general), and my professional
life.
5 different subjects at one time. i clinically have adhd.
(attention deficit hyper-activity disorder.) i learned to control
my outward impulses...but i still love getting lost in my thoughts
for hours. sometimes ill sit motionless, fantasizing and obsessing
over the thoughts dancing across my brain.
observations. whether i should go talk to her.
just in general
my family...they live on the other coast
traveling to asia, mainly japan[ ], korea[x], and china[x].<br />
how i procrastinate way too much.
you!
why so many men view my profile but never say hi! what's up with
that? actually, i'm only thinking about that now---i'll probably
forget about it in a minute or two.......
work, i have a passion for computing and puzzles and i'm always
thinking about how i'm going to handle the next challenge.<br />
<br />
immortality<br />
<br />
how people work<br />
<br />
how to get into more trouble without the traditionally commensurate
temporally protracted deleterious consequences.<br />
<br />
weather or not i should avoid my tendencies for applying a brutal
rationality to avoid or terminate uncomfortable social situations.
my film projects, music, food, future, humanism vs post-humanism
conundrum, the dream i had last night, people on bart, re-think
about what i just thought...
why i should not be eating that.
why i'm here (on this earth... and on this website).
a lot of different things
"self," i ask myself, "what's most important?"
lately: architecture and interiors.<br />
regularly: fashion and morbid news stories.<br />
always: things i haven't done and the person i'd like to be.
fish and old cars. seriously. long dirt roads (leading to rivers)
and smooth curvy pavement (going almost anywhere) gets me
excited.<br />
<br />
how/where to buy an old building, house, barn to restore and live
in... buildings/spaces with character and history appeal to me
most... i love the city but something in the country with a garden

whether i'm making the best decision, or doing something to the
best of my ability, but this doesn't always feel like a good use of
my time, so i'm also training myself to stop thinking so much.
at the moment, this profile.
happiness, new song ideas, the future, etc.
politics, justice system, my future plans
inequality, ways to promote equity, people's motivations, history
and what it's trying to sell, who was in this building or on this
land before me, psychology, what i've read, what i've yet to read,
what that person is thinking, and food. i spend far too much time
thinking about movies.
lots of time is spent on making things go smoothly, enjoying life
and getting the most out of the time we have here on earth. i think
of ways to change for the better, setting goals and striving to
stay on the right track. i think about how to make the best
decisions and to learn from my mistakes. mostly i spend time
thanking god for all that i have.
purpose of life
i tend to think about battling dragons and five headed monsters
with my trusty pencils! alright! i do spend a lot of time in my
sketchbook thinking of crazy stuff to draw, but i do think about
random stuff.<br />
i think about amazing american painters of our time along with the
greatest football touchdowns of last year.<br />
<br />
i think about how people really don't like talking to each other
any more, everybody is to busy plugged into their phones...<br />
<br />
i think about what kind of action hero i would be if i was in a
movie!<br />
<br />
i think about other foods to eat when i'm eating...<br />
what goes great with peanut butter, then make it into a
sandwich...<br />
what i would do if i had a billion dollars...<br />
<br />
if i was a super hero what would my powers be...<br />
would i still have the same friends if i was a porn star!<br />
how i can progress in all aspects of life, how can i be better!
how to get less pissed off when people fail (sometimes
spectacularly) to realize they're not the only ones on the planet.
ways in which i can change my thinking and behavior to make life
easier. how the older i get, the harder i'm willing to work. how
much work i have to do to think more about others. how special it
is when you get a kitty cat to totally trust you.
how gifted of a procrastinator i am... ;-)<br />
how i should spend less time thinking<br />
how incredibly fortunate we as people are... and not due to
riches<br />
how odd it is that someone intellectual like myself can also be an
mind-numbingly exuberant and insane sports fan<br />
how much i cherish relationships, in many different forms
why people spend a lot of time thinking when they should think
about how to be spending their time.
who i want to be, where i want to be, and how much of that i can
actually achieve.
2012<br />
crushing alot<br />
how to stop thinking alot
becoming a better human. and when i'm not contemplating that, i'm
trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
my next international trip. i try for one per year, hopefully italy
soon to visit some friends and play tourist.
life love god beauty nature
robots...zombies....boobs.... you know
how hard it is to answer this question as soon as someone asks it.
what are you thinking about? nothing. i'm thinking about that
question. and therefore we have now entered an endless and
inescapable loop.
how to improve myself in what i do and how i am.<br />
the meaning of life and why we are here.<br />
why we are here on this website instead to be together with (maybe)
our two babies... :-)
what "i" is, exactly.<br />
<br />
also, what's needs to be done next for this budding complementary
medicine practice.
i like to think about why we think and feel the way we do (which
reminds me of a great book i read lately - "how we decide" by
lehrer).<br />
<br />
as an example, on the brain sex tests
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/index_cookie.shtml) i
score very strongly on both masculine and feminine dimensions,
strong in math and science but also high marks in empathy and
feelings. sooooo, lately i've been thinking and reading about
<a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=gender-identity">gender-identity</a> and sexual
orientation and <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=transgender">transgender</a> and <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=bigender">bigender</a> or multi-gender topics,
leading to a number of questions: what does it mean to be male?
female? does it matter and why? crotch contents aren't a great
predictor of gender - there's some pretty masculine "women" and
feminine "guys" - so there's a disconnect between apparent sex and
gender. here's another: why is it that some webforms require a
salutation as mr or ms or mrs or miss - what difference does it
make and why should we care so much about others' gender? if we
didn't care so much, would women continue to make only 78% of what
men make, or would it be more even? all of which makes me wonder,
is our society too simple-minded in limiting to "male" and "female"
and "straight" and "gay"? did you know there's an effort to
recognize a third sex in some countries, and that some species have
8 sexes? and what about people like me who have components of male
&amp; female in our personalities, should we be considered two
spirit as in some of the american indian traditions?<br />
<br />
oh, ok, maybe this is getting deep but they asked what i was
thinking about...and yes i like to think about much more complex
things than "what's for dinner?" (tho of course i like to think of
that too). the takeaway is that i'm not afraid to use my brain :-)
the reason for why we live in such a society. it's great and all
but sometimes i just don't know. i also think about my past, not
all of it just certain things. i am in my head alot basically is
what i'm trying to say.<br />
my most recent thought:<br />
the reason why men are wearing tighter clothes and girls are loving
one another all of that, is cause we are realizing people are just
people, we all just need to love each other. where as we are not
listening to this message and are discriminating against those who
try this method of just being human, why can't we all just be
human?
art, artists, thinking, parody, mimicry, methods of learning and
growing, comedy, comedians, comediennes, theories,

thinking hurts when listening is difficult. for me this happens in
a classroom with echo or in a loud bar. as for classes that take
place in bars, i'm conflicted.
sex! i mean let's call it what it is, here. i could make up this
great, esoteric, hippy-dippy, response but 9 outta 10 times i'm
either thinking about sex or music and there ain't enough music in
the world to get my mind offa sex!!! maybe it's the scorpio in me
or maybe this that or the other thing but honestly, i feel no need
for reasons or excuses because i am proud to be a sexual being! i
mean, it's pretty much the one thing we're physically built for as
a species! it has excellent healing potential...what else can turn
a "fuck you!" into a "oh god yes, fuck me!" type of scenario? don't
get me wrong, sex is not all i am seeking, it is just on my mind a
lot.
personal growth, how to help others, the next show i'm going to,
the next vacation, how to make my business even better, where are
my keys and why don't i just set them in the same damn place in my
house every time.
how to better myself and ways for me to live a happy life. part of
that equation, is being in a healthy relationship and that is why i
am on this website, to hopefully find that special someone.
the day, and how i am going to make it better.
the tech industry, the global economy, friends in far away places,

i spend a lot of time thinking about what would happen if i printed
some "pave the bay" instead of "save the bay" stickers. would
people still put them on their cars? would the bay end up getting
paved? what would happen if the bay were paved? would there be an
in-n-out? what would the sales tax be?
my life, where i want to go, what i want to do with it. the future
is always on my mind.
politics/policy, what i want to do when i grow up, solutions, cute
boys, urban sprawl, man's inhumanity to man, the biebs (kidding),
fooooood
my future goals ~<br />
starting my own interior architecture firm<br />
how/when i'm gonna buy my aston martin db9<br />
spending more time with my friends<br />
managing my time better so i have time to sleep! haha
math.<br />
science.<br />
food.<br />
logic.<br />
striving to one-up the awesomeness of the previous day.
all things fun - projects and travel plans.<br />
<br />
sorry i know this is a cop-out answer, but i can go on forever on
this one, which brings me to another thing - i spend a lot of time
thinking about...time, and how to use it more wisely!
how my last relationship made me question the nature of existence,
and how i feel that i can never trust my own judgment ever again.
the nightmare that is my life has begun and it is a nightmare from
which there will never be a waking.
whether or not it's going to rain.
my next vacation
the world and my place in it - my purpose and my contribution, the
natural world, friends, sustainable design, greenroofs and living
walls, and the next trip i'd like to take.
new delicious recipes and the possible adventure that helps me
discover them.
my next journey in life and the next place i want to visit
yelping for things to eat. planning fun things to do. recently, i
went to a standup show, learned how to solder, and went bike
exploring through the mission.
there's no way i'm actually answering this i think about 50
different things at 20 different speeds, name it and it's probably
crossed my mind
my life and the people in it.
work, women, pita chips and puppies.
schoolwork and any teaching that is coming up. it's pretty much
all-encompassing right now, but the end is in sight .. well, the
degree and the credentials part at least...
why do people wear ties?
less thinking, more doing.
i'm spending a lot of time these days thinking about how to take my
career to next level...i'm always challenging myself.
finances<br />
work<br />
penis
what do i want to eat and how far am i willing to travel for it?
i guess it depends on the day.......if i'm trimming the bonsais,
i'm thinking about them........if there's a horrendous earthquake
and tsunami in japan, my thoughts are with the japanese.......if i
(or a friend) is at a fork in the road, i'm thinking about which
path to take.......if i'm reading, i'm with the characters and
maybe in a different time and place........maybe what's important
is that i do think but (hopefully) not too much
my favorite authors' new book release dates. whether i really have
locked the front door.
. ..bouncing around on my trials bike, how to solve rock climbing
problems, how to help people communicate.
i think about how i can have an amazing relationship for the next
25+ years and how i can deepen and expand my friendships.
the play light on just about anything. the immense beauty of the
natural world. great storytelling. great songwriting. great art.
great love. the irresistible pull of water. where will i travel
next? will we humans pull it together, or are we really going to
trash the planet? is there a way to be an ethical modern day robin
hood? how much i love food, and what's for dinner...
sex and art. art and knitting. color and art.
how lucky i am to have the life and friends and family i have. i
travel a lot, and it has helped me truly appreciate and try to not
take for granted each and every day. as mom always says... treat
others how you want to be treated.
