Taxi

2012.
 MGE, scruffy with a bit of shave

Edit: 9/7/2016
This was about riding an MGE taxi that I rode once before as a highschooler. I thought I recognized the driver so I told him that I think I had been his passenger three or four years before then.

Revisiting (2/16/2012)

I'm lost but there's no coming back.

Edit: 9/7/2016
I'm still lost.

9/7/2016 update:

I don't remember too much why I was so interested in Google search solutions. But I do remember wanting to make my world a lot more -efficient- and -orderly-. I craved perfection ad austerity a la Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Post-CS: Messy thoughts on the interaction of search engines, browsers, and bookmarks.

Currently, bookmarks in web browsers are simply iterations of webpages and their respective names, titles, descriptions, and addresses and this is reflected by the performance of autocomplete search (Note: I personally use Chrome as a web browser).

I wish to add depth to the use of bookmarks by:

1. Expanding the reach of each search by including not only these titles or descriptions in the search tags but also the content of each webpage bookmarked. The sort of content (image, text, etc.) to be included in the search is debatable.

2. Letting the search engine suggest bookmarked options upon each search and have them take precedence over other search results, or at least emphasize them by placing them in the first page, or just making this function optional.

It has occurred to me, however, that a powerful-enough search engine is also able to accomplish these tasks and is, perhaps, more suited than a modification of a web browser.

9/7/2016 update:
After two grueling terms as a philosophy major, I had mixed feelings about where I was in the world. In February I felt like I was left behind by the times. But with help from other people, I was persuaded to think more about how the future might be like and how I could take control of my life.

Enlisting in PILOSOPO made me feel like I had officially belonged to an organization that welcomed me.
Taking up factoring made me feel like I was going to fail mathematics again, but I was getting the knack of it by taking more control and not letting the fear overwhelm me.
Being put in a trance by Doc Raj in a PHILUNC class I sat in made me remember how I can feel in control of my own world.
The differences between synesthesia and vertical thinking were things I got strongly interested in.
I felt a lot more grounded and less proud of myself for pretending that I knew a lot about Parmenides. BJ Perez put a stop to that when he asked me what Parmindes had to say and I couldn't give him the right answer.

2. Took up factoring.

3. Was put into a trance by Doc Raj in his PHILUNC class.

4. I wrote this down in my to-do: synesthesia vs vertical thinking

5. A slap to the face ("Who is Parmenides?")

A lot of people around this time were graduating and I thought that life was a race--the faster I graduated, got my dream job, earned my income, settled down securely, the better I was. I thought that I could have done so much better (others kept telling me the same thing) and failing to see that through broke my spirits. Feeling that I had surely been left behind, I had to think about the things I had been left behind at.

"This is a story about a boy who was left behind:
1) by the seasons
2) by those who he shared promises with
3) by friends
4) by age and by the years
5) by places
6) by things"
