a couple of gypsy eyes

i enjoy strawberries.


i have spent some time this past week end or so reading.

topics i have covered (give me a second, i have to make a list)
the double discrimination of caribbean women
the arab made misery of hamas
rick steves' opinions on world travel, the economy, and drugs
the role of lying in childhood development
you and your research

i the last article to be the most interesting.

i didn't read it all, but i caught a couple of things that were interesting to me.
one thing that i found really interesting is his thoughts on being a successful/famous scientist. he says that i need to ask myself what is the most important thing in my field right now. you can do a lot of things, but focus on what is going around you and it will help you. he uses a metaphor of an open office door. you might get more distracted by having a open door, but you will be more aware about what is going on around you and will be pointed in the right direction the field is going.

he also talks about conforming. the idea is this, you can do your own thing and be a squeaky wheel, but you will have to fight against the flow your whole career. you won't be able to achieve as much as those who conform because they don't have to expend the effort to fight 'the man'. he extrapolates a lot more on that idea.


like my huge sentences? and the implied subject? they were going to be longer. anyway, i would really recommend the last read even if it might be a little to 'scientific' for you.

i have been running in rehab the last couple of times, 1 minute off and then 1 minute on. slowly i'm getting back there.

also, i'm getting a new phone cause this one is crapping out after i dropped it last month. here is the link to the new one.
