Dear Hume,

You ask advice: ah, what a very human and very dangerous thing to do! For to give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal — to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself.

I am not a fool, but I respect your sincerity in asking my advice. I ask you though, in listening to what I say, to remember that all advice can only be a product of the man who gives it. What is truth to one may be disaster to another. I do not see life through your eyes, nor you through mine. If I were to attempt to give you specific advice, it would be too much like the blind leading the blind.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles … ” (Shakespeare)

And indeed, that IS the question: whether to float with the tide, or to swim for a goal. It is a choice we must all make consciously or unconsciously at one time in our lives. So few people understand this! Think of any decision you’ve ever made which had a bearing on your future: I may be wrong, but I don’t see how it could have been anything but a choice however indirect — between the two things I’ve mentioned: the floating or the swimming.

TransAsia Crash - Holy Fucking Shit

I don't like flying, and I don't even like driving under landing airplanes.  This pic of the crashing TransAsia flight freaked me the fuck out.  23 people died, I wish those families peace.

Awesome Photos from the Rosetta Mission

I like outer space, a few times in my life, I believe that I lived in outer space due to a warped reality. The Rosetta Mission to land a probe on the comet is downright awesome, and there are some cool pics and articles out in the information super highway concerning the journey and subsequent probing of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.  There is even a comet selfie for the kids and their twitters.  This mission was launched in 2004, and after a decade of planning by Rosetta/Philae/ESA team, the mission got the coolest photos I have seen all week.  This made me excited about space again.
