Great movie. Part of it was filmed in my office. Matt Dillon was an obnoxious little prick, but it was a fun week despite his arrogant pomposity.

“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”--Erasmus

my career of choice is in books, my primary art mostly revolves around making them or the stuff that goes in them, my hobbies revolve around reading and collecting them, my volunteer service revolves around getting them to people or people into them, my daily conversations tend to steer toward them as the subject, my life choices revolve around whether they are present, and i do what's stated in that quote on a regular basis. 
It's a bit of sick addiction   
No, really.

Status: offline 		"The invention of the wheel was perhaps rather obvious; but the invention of an invisible wheel, made of nothing but a magnetic field, was far from obvious." -Reginald Kapp

In the fields of information theory, physics, memetics and mathematics... the things I see will simply not make sense to the general population for a long, long time. Every attempt to communicate this worldview, except in the vaguest of terms, meets blank stares and abject confusion. It can get disheartening after a while; to even find a challenge that proves the opposite case, I must at least be able to express it in a comprehensible and comprehensive way, and the more of one, the less of the other; or so it seems. It's something I consider a personal failure; Einstein was able to get Planck on board, but Tesla couldn't get his vision realized. I'd rather be E than T... but T I am, for the moment. And in a medium far less tangible.
