Monsters.

Uhh, yeah. I don’t know what that’s about, either.

I must have already blabbed about it, but I can’t get over being officially done with school. A diploma, me! Who would’ve thought. The real world has been okay thus far, but the lack of employment opportunities makes me think that this bubble of freedom will start oppressing me before I can begin to enjoy it. I’m already looking for ways to fill up my time: Dutch lessons, part-time job hunting, and going to several project meetings. Not at all young mula, baby, but it’ll do for now.

Oh, and did I mention I’ve been playing around with clay again? The medium is rather handy at helping me connect with my emotions, like, for real:

Dead Heroes: Alan Watts

Via OpenCulture.

Alan Watts was such a badass. From alanwatts.com :

After teaching at the Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco he became Dean, and began to give regular radio talks on KPFA, the Berkeley free radio station. In 1957 he published his bestselling Way of Zen, and in 1958 returned to Europe where he met with CG Jung. He was an early subject in pioneering psychedelic trials, and after recording two seasons of the public television series “Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life” traveled to Japan several times in the early sixties. By the late sixties he had become a counter culture celebrity, and traveled widely to speak at universities and growth centers across the US and Europe.

The above video is a sort of introduction to meditation; in it, Alan Watts explains why it’s necessary to shut your mind off, stop talking to yourself, and make a daily effort to apprehend reality in its purest form. Something I can’t manage to do myself, but will definitely be giving a try more often.

Untitled cause I can.

Repeating the same old schtick, but summer is over and there is a lot to consider. Everything I want to say is in this mix.

P.S. I turned in my master’s thesis last week, and it was full of WIN : }
