i go through prolonged periods of distrusting cynicism, this is a highly distressful unnatural state for me. there are a few other components to my unhappiness and depression, but essentially it is distrusting cynicism. then the distressful unhappiness and depression reaches a threshold at which, i just can't stand it anymore, and then i hear some optimistic song, video, or article like these:

A Pretty Song About Alienation (source: rayhan hasan)
Lawrence Lessig's Blog - He is a famous Open Source, more or less Anti Intellectual Property Law, guy, with a strong reputation
Lawrence Lessig on Intellectual Property Law Alternatives
Mr. and Mrs. Smith - Blockbuster Spy Movie
The Good Shephard - Blockbuster Birth of CIA Movie

I got a lot of other good media that explore my current feelings. The intent here, on this blog, is not to deliver a presentable finished product, so much as a summary of my feelings. So I could make this more ellaborate, but I don't have the incentive to.



Additionally some conversation with people on AIM, or in real life, have been mind altering experiences.

a lot of shout outs i'd like to make.
