Balance
a monitor showing a heartbeat
dynamic into a paper sheet
small changes don’t leave an imprint
they must beat faster, as fast as a sprint

White Noise
papers, screens, artificial light
forcing inside when outside is night
stripping parts of who I am (was?)
damn, yet another pause

Dark
inside or outside into darkness falls
light can’t change the color of walls
how could one see that outside is white
when there’s no heat, no sun, no light?

Side note:
it’s been a while since I wrote anything,
parts of this segment feel forced to me,
others are not.

I was talking to my food
but it was the kind of father-son talk,
of being disappointed for a bad grade or something.
in a calm but firm voice saying things like “I am very disappointed than you”
stressing the word disappointed so the child would understand what it is your are trying to pass.

In fact, it was grounded properly,
much like the way a child might not “fit in”
with the school system and thus get bad grades,
the texture of a certain part of my food wasn’t fitting in with the big casserole.
But who am I to tell him he should fit in?

perhaps he’s right, perhaps they are wrong.

As some of you may know, for about a month now I haven’t been eating meat.
Last week (well actually on the 29th of September) I decided to become a Vegetarian.

I think my major factors were:

• Environment
  Did you know that the meat industry causes more CO2 emissions than all of our Transport combined?
  that includes all of the Cars, Airplanes, Ships, everything!
  Did you also know that for 1KG of beef the industry uses 16,000 Liters of water (?!)
  Did you know that 80% of the Corn in the US is for feeding animals?
  although 17.2 Million households are food insecure
  Turns out even the UN agrees,
  Meat Is NOT Green
• Health
  Heart disease is killing more than 600,000 people a year in the US,
  and it is the major cause of death for people over 65.
  The connection between eating animals products and Heart disease is
  undeniable.
• Compassion
  Although it should be the first, it wasn’t the factor that actually made me move
  to being a vegetarian. This factor is getting more important these days though.
  A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video has about 30 frames per second.
  Meet your Meat
  Farm to Fridge 

Running, tired, drugged to the bone, and no time.
No Time

Light, a light floods my eyes, awaken.
Underestimating its effect, I step forward,
carelessly, too carelessly.
I pay the price, I’m 16, with a racing heart
I dare not approach further.
Time stands still, and the light.
The Light, as if disregarding the laws of my world.
Floods my eyes, shines on me.
Blinded, afraid, humbled but eager.
I attempt to step forward.
I just hope my mind won’t stop my heart
from going where it yearns to go.

Yesterday I was reading an Article on Slashdot talking about
how the Internet use to be, 25 years ago.

Reading a couple of comments
(which are the best parts in the articles of Slashdot),
I stumbled upon one of the sweetest stories I’ve ever read.

Thank you,Opportunist

Just an average day at the Supermarket

Stranger: “Hey, why are you staring at my shopping cart?”

Me: “just looking for Inspiration”

I always get some good ideas from seeing what other people
buy in the supermarket, especially if I start seeing that I’m eating
the same thing over and over again,

try it.

Get out get up get it all out
Type Write Record everything you can do to save.
the thoughts are rushing the neurons are firing
the body is running, to make it to the pencil, to the keyboard, to anything
that might save this, because as fast as they came – they are lost even faster.

Just like this one, the feeling was there but the reaction was too slow,
I will have to think of an alternative below
my memory betrayed me and let this one go

The Internet is an unmatched way for us to get information
and communicate with the world.

For years it was without a doubt “The Messiah of Information Technology”.
It seems however, that in the last couple of years, the Internet
has been taking another direction, towards a more personalized
information stream, that might unable us to see the whole picture.

If you start a search in Google, and search for the exact same thing
from another computer, it is most likely that you’ll get different results.
This case has been show that extremely different results might arrive,
so that it might completely change a person’s perspective of that topic.
