So I picked up this booklet today from this guy outside South Wimbledon tube station this morning. It's about Maum meditation. Opened it up, and read the first 2 pages. It says that two worlds exist. The true and the false. It says if you learn and follow the ways of the true world, you avoid the false life in reality and in death and basically there is more after death. The false life is unconscious and well, you just die when you die - you don't pass and collect £200.

So I was thinking, based on that, shall I read the rest of the booklet? And I can so why not, right? So I did. Didn't hurt, didn't change my mind but still didn't hurt.

Anyway, my point today is how the hell do they know what ones actions in reality will lead to in death? No ones been back out of death, not ever Jesus entered the record books way back when he rolled that stone away and emerged from that cave. Stuff was happening in his time, not so much cool now as it was then. Anyway, are we all to believe that even though no ones come back out from death recently, specifically to tell us about it, people think they know all which way about it? One way or the other, when it comes down do it, it seems all things like this boil down to one of two things. 1. Do you or don't you want to be convinced about something.

So, I've been reading Ernest Hemingway recently. His short stories. They're short, let me say that that real quick. So quick and they have mostly abrupt endings. In fine with this, except for the abrupt endings. I figure, each story was going to be a full novel but then he got bored real quick. So, it became a shirt story. That's how short stories sometimes are born, I guess. I like his writing. The thing about Hemmingway is, well, he killed himself. How defeatist. I was reading up on this last night and apparently scientists think they've discovered a gene that makes you more likely than most to commit suicide. It's got something to do with depression. 4 others in his family also commuted suicide. Thought that was pretty interesting albeit pretty morbid stuff for a Thursday morning. But that said its a good Thursday morning.

Yesterday was pretty good, just generally. I fixed an issue in the code that was real sneaky. That got me off - I get kicks out of that stuff, figuring stuff out and reducing complexity. Got to use my new headlight to replace the neighbours kitchen light yesterday(while in darkness) so way-to-go for me. Been tinkering with some code out of the office recently which has kept me awake and out of sleep for a while now, especially over the festive season. Changed my hairstyle, went for the slick hair back look. The dude in the office said it was my slick banker look because that's apparently how bankers look. Whatever . Actually the look is partially inspired from the character, Beezlebub in Constantine. I like it plus it makes me look like a real wise-guy. Everyone commented positively on it, so onward and upwards. I don't care really.

So watched Shallow Hal recently on recommendation. Enjoyed it. Had a movie marathon over Christmas and New Years in between all my coding. God, I love coding.
