March!

2/9ths of today are already contained in the past. A little under 7/9ths of it are still in the future, and right now, I am conscious of occupying a set of immediately adjacent positions in space along with this instant in time.

And now that instant has changed. At least twice.

I just wrote a blog entry about body mass, its psychosocial implications, and an evolutionist supportive argument, but I decided to extend my waking hours today by writing another entry - this one with a more egocentric focus. Easily-describable changes are occurring in my life, and I think they are worth persisting. In the future, I will be able to read it, and this will refresh my memory, and fill my mind and spirit with thoughts and feelings from the then-past, making me smile at least once and producing a sense of nostalgia.

I am now officially unemployed. I believe I have already published this piece of information, but I think it does no harm to do so again. I no longer work at Reddwerks. Colon, left parenthesis, space, colon, lowercase s. I enjoyed working there a lot.

Anyway, this easily-describable change has had drastic changes in my lifestyle:
  1. My income flow has stopped.
  2. I no longer get up in the morning every weekday.
  3. I can dispose of my daily 24 hours in whichever way I see fit.
  4. I was able to achieve the goals I wanted to in the game I temporarily became addicted to - Mass Effect (and which I now happily declare I am no longer addicted to).
  5. It has given me much time to read and study the books that I ordered from Amazon.com under LvA's recommendation.
Writing about books, I have already read one. :) :) :D. That's right! I finished reading Machine Learning, by Tom M. Mitchell. It is an outstandingly well-written book! My congratulations to the author and to the other people who have already read it. I am currently in the process of reading the book The Design and Analysis of Algorithms, by Dexter C. Kozen. Well-written book, too, but I think some of the arguments assume that the reader is familiar with many graph-related problems, or that he/she is pondering most of the logical steps involved in each proof more thoroughly than I am. And I gladly would, except that I still plan to finish this book and two other (longer) books to read before I begin my travelling activities.

Speaking of travelling activities, I fly tomorrow morning to Toronto, Ontario, Canada :D. I'm going to see the Niagara Falls! :D

And I think I'm going to sleep now. I technically spent ALL night awake and now I predict I will slightly suffer during the day for it. For now, to bed. I'm happy I posted some of my current events. G'night!

P.S: Some people say March was named after Mars. Can you believe them?
P.P.S: I forgot to say - as an effect of my unemployment, I now formally release myself from the constraints that I had placed upon my own entries while employed due to the potential negative social effects they may have implied upon other people. Yay!
