The more you focus on yourself, the more depressed you become. When you focus on yourself, you'll likely only see the bad in you.

The answer ?

Focus on other shit other than yourself and you'll be happier. You best distract yourself.

Re: Scientific Facts, June 26, 2003

I get high off the endorphins my brain produces. And the endorphins I produce come from running or trudging through the trenches of Anthro. And I was really happy reading anthro yesterday because I had just Scottie Pippened everyone on the court and pretty much just kicked glass.

So happy.

I have even conceded that my thinking methodology of searching for absolute truths used in my June 26th post on scientific facts might be wrong. The facts I produced were correct, but maybe not used correctly.

From my anthro book: "The goal [of science and anthropology] is not to establish "truth" in any absolute sense, but rather to generate ever more accurate and consistent depictions and explanations of phenomena in our universe. At its very heart, scientific methodolgy is an exercise in rational thought and critical thinking."

I had been looking for "truths" in science since that particular post to the effect of generalizing and speaking out against truths against the whole medical field, when I was only talking about the medical field's truths in fighting microorganisms.

But now I realize that accuracy is what scientists are aiming for. However, if accuracy is what scientists are aiming for, why can they not have the autonomy to think outside of the scientific "laws" that restrict them ? Even AIDS activists have become more sensitive to these "laws" but only because they have learned these scientific laws.

In the larger context, these scientific "laws" to defeat viruses and bacteria could just be concoctions of a particular era. So the professionals should just keep trying to use any means. As human and environmental conditions gradually change with each second, the laws of fighting these microorganisms gradually change as well as they too develop immunities to antibiotics.

So after much soul-searching the main point of my post still remains: scientists and doctors combating microorganisms still take strictly to their laws of science and act like the stuff they know is "truth". . .when it isn't.

UCSC Booy !

Classes start tomorrow. Amidst all the smoke I blow UCLA's way, I still like SC. The school's not just about surfing, Fraternity Life, and smoking weed. I got a bit irked when Cressa's roommate, Rona, said that "people passed up Berkeley in favor of Santa Cruz because they wanted to smoke weed."

Let me lay that argument flat on its back with the exclusive use of this catalog.

From my own experience, the academics are super-tight. It started getting super-tight when I actually started getting my money's worth and started studying.

The 2004-2005 Introduction to the UC pamphlet reads, "According to the 2000 National Survey of Student Engagement, UC Santa Cruz students were more likely to take courses that emphasize in-depth critical analysis and include open-ended essay exams; comapred with students at other major research institutions."

The composition of the majority of students seem are smart, intellectual folks who did bad in high school, but well enough to get into the UC. I've never seen so many No on Prop 54 posters and stickers.

And the results of this being smart ?

"UC Santa Cruz graduates enjoy a high acceptance rate into graduate and professional schools. In a national survey of more than 60 elite research universities by the Association of American Universities, the campus ranked 15 for students in all disciplines whose bachelor degrees led to doctorates, 13th in science and engineering and 14th in areas other than science and engineering."

That's right.

"In a recent comprehensive analysis of more than 200 top universities, UC Santa Cruz ranked 11th nationwide among public campuses in overall research quality. In 2001, UCSC was ranked second in the world for the quality of its research productivity in the physical sciences."

The smart folks also do what's right.

"A recent survey showed that UCSC students, faculty, and staff contributed 900,000 hours of volunteer community service in a single year."

The catalog makes even the super-recognized Berkeley sound a little dull with its non-stop mentioning of all it's Nobel Prize winners etc. The ad for Berkeley is probably weak because everyone already knows about it. But still, academics-wise, my school holds its own.

And where else can you find a cave, climb a redwood tree the height of an average corporate building, run naked on the first day of rain, see a lot of Zion I or Blackalicious, or go to drum circles at full moon ?

Re-filling Water Bottles = Toxic ?

Hey today, I talked about "filtering out" and now I'm talking about toxic water. I think it's been a trend !

Ahem.

Anyway,

My Trader Joe's water bottle discreetly wrote, "DO NOT REFILL" on the outside of its plastic water bottle. I wondered for a second exactly why re-filling the plastic water would be harmful before I did yet another google search and scooped up this site and this site.

The first article centers its article on one experiment that saw 50% of its re-used samples become non-potable with 9% having fecal material. The second article briefly hints that bacteria is the cause of this non-potability and tells us how plastic water bottles are not meant to be used over and over.

And Trader Joe's is a store I generally trust. It claims to do good business and be consumer-based.

Some scary shit.

Daniel rebuked their argument saying that their claims were only after the water bottles were left somewhere after a long time. From my Aquatic Toxicology class, I not only learned that pollution in water is um. . .bad, but also that this pollution did not always mean bad and immediate action.

While there might be truth to those articles, the risk of drinking the re-filled plastic water bottle needs to be taken into context, the bigger picture. People in general are freaked out more by the little germs than by big and brash snowboarding which has more of a chance to hurt you.

So in context, with so many water choices in the supermarket, there would be no reason to select Trader Joe's water. And plain and simple they're still a business. Trader Joe's could be busting a little scare tactic on your ass and you wouldn't know.

So those are the two sides of the story, and the question still remains:

Is Trader Joe's protecting the consumer or scaring them into business ?

(Me ? To be on the safe side, I just got my re-useable rubbermaid water bottle at Long's Drug Store, but I would not hesitate to re-use my water bottle if I really needed)

Breaking Down the Angers

Pops has been reading a funny, yet informative book entited Dealing With People You Can't Stand. It's interesting and informative, but it's not where the family's problem lies.

My fam is some funny peoples. We get mad so easily on the road that it can potentially not be funny. We get mad at strangers on the road. It's about one of the few times you can find any one of them unrelaxed and unhappy. This instantly developed anger we have from time-to-time determines the mood and tone of the day rather than something more important like the Bears sucking so badly.

For example, my dad chased to cut off some stupid
pick-up with a Marines sticker about 10 blocks from our original destination because it had cut us off twice in a Walmart parking lot on our way to yet another Filipino family party. As if the moment was frozen in time via a grainy, 1960s grainy NFL films video focusing on a crushing hit that would pop off a helmet, he made the tight lane switch to cut off the pick-up. A silent surge of joy for a split second. Then, "WHOA DAD ! That was tight !" Then an enthusiastic high five with the sister. My mom could only sigh with a "langya" look on her face. Some family fun, indeedy.

While chasing that one punk for 10 blocks was exciting, it was probably not the best way we could have handled things (or so society says so). But we got mad because we only saw the result of him cutting us off. We didn't see the rationale of the result; we didn't see if he cut us off unintentionally because he had to go somewhere. If it was some family friend that cut us off unknowingly, we would have laughed and joked it off.

Because we didn't know more of the Marines dude and he impersonally did something wrong to us, we got mad. And luckily nothing came over it.

It's easy to laugh at us. But this instantly developed anger is what consciously or unconsciously drives Americans in general to do stupid things. It's the haste, the heat of the moment that forces us to make stupid decisions. The easy-to-use-iness of guns and instant fire caters well to this society of speed. 11,000 in America die thanks to this speed and ease that guns provide in comparison to 60 in Canada with even more lenient gun laws.

More broadly, when "people" are blinded to what happens to "other" people, and those "other" people do something to annoy "people", "people" will get mad, fail to understand the "other" people, and see only negativity in "other" people. For example, the 9/11 attacks have lead the fallen Dennis Millers of the world to demonize Middle Easterners. Race and ethnicity are the easiest way to identify and demonize. When something bad happens, "people" only see differences in the strangers. As a result of seeing negativity, "people" will consciously or subconsciously stereotype "other" people and create more seperation.

It's one root cause other than the media to how the poor become lazy, blacks are scary and athletic, gays just want to rape you.

People are not people in this society of speed, fear, and indulgence.

Supersuckage: The Chicago EmBearassments of 2003

I don't care about being a fair weather fan. They don't deserve any foul weather fans because they aren't even trying unlike the Bulls, Cubs, and even Sox. They are idiots from top to down, management to players. It's not that they're cheapskates, they just think that throwing money around to just anyone especially in a highly competitive business that is the NFL solves the lack of victories problem. Proof of Bears' upper management's apathy towards the team's fortunes: They keep the coach, offensive, and defensive coordinator after 3 painful losing seasons (4-12, 5-11, 4-12) and just one lucky season (13-3) in which the team got thumped 10-35 anyway in the finale of a classic old stadium in Soldier Field.

There's no talent, there isn't even any heart if last week's 7-49 horrification against the 49ers and 13-24 "recovery" against the Vikings are any indication. The stadium's opening should be put off until the real pros come to play. A horrible defense. An even horribler offense. No, wait, they have "to improve to be horrible" as one poster on RealGM noted. I'm a liberal guy, so I accept a lot of folks they way they are but these guys really really suck. I'll even stop sipping the kool aid and realize that Urlacher, Brown, and Booker aren't even that good. On top of having no ability and subsequently, sucking ass, there is no strategy all game as they keep right on calling the same exact plays putting the starters in danger of injury and piling turnovers like your dad's stash of Playboys. It's like trying to race my '89 Celica maintained by backyard mechanics against Ferarris by the finest mechanics.

The only way this team is winning a game is if they beat and grab the luck out of the cartoon leprechaun who advertises Lucky Charms.









Idiots.

Summer Days of 2003

The summer of 2003 is coming to a close. And that means school is coming back for me (assuming that the $5000 glitch mends itself before 09/16 and/or I get to keep my classes). No more of this blog everyday stuff. I'll blog as often as I exercise, which is 2-3 times a week because I liked wondering out loud for the first time about random stuff.

As for the summer itself, I'd wouldn't have had a great time without my fam, Shar, Chelle, Bel, Keith, Joe, the beach trips adding Jonn and Trina, driving adding Gladys that one time, basketball with Mike and Harlan, trips to anywhere with Cheryl and her friends, the whole Immac crew's Islands outing adding Sue, Mo, and Maria.

But of course my summer would have been a complete rip and shit without Cressa. Even though this summer wasn't as exciting as the Summer of 2002, I still had a great time. It was the summer of neutralness and chillin'. No "nndawddy's" got in our way. Friends to Jerry Springer, and Finding Nemo to Dickie Roberts, we saw it all. Mraz to Nas, we heard it all. Thai to In-n-Out, we ate it all. Steenky to good, we smelled it all. From politics to whatever else, we argued it all. And she freekin' won most of the time. Oh well, I still downed someone's ass in the waterfest pool.

How TV Works

This goes out to viewers of shows like the Today Show, Oprah, The Other Half, Leno, George Lopez Show, My Wife and Kids, and anything owned by Fox.

So today
No delay
Very gay
All straight
Crooked yo
Take the bait
Its how a show is made or break
Its called the TV shake and bake
They tell you you'll fade and make
No money, no attention to your sake
Can't say what you feel so you're fake

Watchers can only see this trickshit bait
Fail to use the organ that is the brain
Spoonfed the same plain ole grains
Locked in the box without the pain
The radicals appear nil but insane
Not so lame
But no fame
A shame
It is sans
The truth
From the rads to tell the youth what is right to fight and not be scared of the light to see people and become people not sheeple and reason out not be feeble and reach for the gun and land yourself in the deep hole. Idealistic almost like mystic from the past to root out the plastic cloggin' up your ass.

Highway System in Los Angeles

(Heavy thanks to this site. And this site. And this site.)

The story of highways in general is interesting because it brings to consciousness standardization within cultures and other crap like that.

It can take you from LA to Frisco (101), from Cal Poly Pomona to San Luis Obispo (OK, I'm not really sure how to do that). There's a sort of mystery to every little town like Soledad or Gonzalez I pass every time I make the trip up the 101, the El Camino Real, which used to link the 21 California missions to get to school. I've been intrigued by those mysteries and the histories of every town's inhabitants.

But Los Angeles is interesting in its own way. It brought the first freeway in the 6, the Arroyo Seco Freeway, which has since become the 110 according to this timeline. It also established its own standards in the way highway signs were made as dotted out in this picture, from the fonts to the system used to tell the distance from an exit.



Notice that the signs are in white and black, rather than the standard green and white starting in 1964 today. This photo was taken in 1966 at Sunset Boulevard on the 405.

Kriske.com provides more thorough explanation:

"Early guide signs were crude and usually specific to the particular location. However, in 1956, state highway engineers developed a number of specific guidelines for creating signs to be standardized across the state.

The overhead sign that is now typical of all interstates was first used in California along heavily travelled urban freeway segments, and as of 1956 the Golden State was using overhead signing more extensively than any other state. Another California innovation was the use of white lettering on a black background, which enhanced visibility and legibility. Vestiges of these antique signs can still be found, most notably the black sign along Northbound Interstate 5 at the I-210/CA 14 truck route separation. Due to its success in California, this light-on-dark scheme was later incorporated for use in Interstate guide signs (using Green instead of Black) into the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which specifies signage requirements for the Interstate (and Federal ?) System."



This photo was taken in 1974. Two things are radically different from those days as the Pasadena 11 has become the Pasadena 110, and the "Bakersfield" destination has been replaced with Sacramento.



The 7 freeway since 1985 has become the 710.



The 99, 6, and 134 freeways in 1959.



Now it's just the 5 and the 134.



Now the 10, 110 South to San Pedro, and 110 North to Pasadena. Notice how the US Routes were not the solid white that it is today, as seen on freeways like the 101.

Last but not least, there's a nice historical picture of the 101 and 5 that is too big to fit on this blog.

And for more info on freeways, there's this site. You can learn the full details on Interstates, how they numbered the highways, and pretty much anything about highways.

No, You're Not Stupid

Cressa torched me in a conversation yesterday.

I come on here and write down observations trying to find out whatever's true, but I don't mean to indict anyone's interests. Enjoy whatever you do. If your interests do not include politics and society, I respect it, but it does not mean that you can't learn the facts and truth at least from my point of view.

Regarding the September 4th post, I just think the majority of people in this society are suckered and trapped in their interests rather than actively promoting the lack of knowledge of society. "Interests" largely meant material luxuries with a smidgeon meaning "stupid" movies. When I said "We're too busy attending to ourselves," I meant that most Americans are just lost in their material luxuries. With this overbounding excess I had in mind my parents, parents' friends, the neighborhoods I visited during my brief time in Environment California, and not necessarily college kids.

I don't really care about being an activist or starting a movement because attitudes are nothing that can be taught and whipped into people. I just report what happens based on root causes and philosophies. And for the most part, I'd like to see things end up being fair to those who don't have the advantages that many middle-classers enjoy. The lower classes don't get to experience the "American dream," and the kids are trapped in a cycle of crime and poverty. Whoever you may be, just take this stuff as more stuff to think about, to distract yourself when you're bored or even when you're not.

Electronic Music = "Classical" Music

Music is an art of expression. It's supposed to tell you what's happening and make you feel good. It's the universal language, and if you criticize one form, you don't really understand music.

So I was both confused and amazed when two people whom I consider to be smart, my AP US History/Euro history teacher and Sue, tried to pound in my head at different points in time that I was not listening to "real" music. My non-real music was not classical enough or something. But damn, electronic music is just as cool as classical music. The only differences between electronic and classical are that trance encompasses a wider range of music from horrible to brilliant quality and that trance is too new for the older crowd to like. Beach vibes can make you think and ponder about random things as much a moonlight sonata if you know what I mean.

"Classical purists" disregard the form of electronic music because it's apparently easy to make without instruments. They say it's not timeless, a passing fad, an "unsophisticated" teenager's music.

Try saying that to the face of Fischerspooner (from which PC users can download "Emerge" on Kazaa).

Here's what actually seperates electronic from classical music:

Genres of music are usually defined by their quality songs. There's a shitload of electronic music to the point where the quality electronic music becomes inaccessible. As a result of this sea of crap, the best electronic music is not being heard. Quality classical music on the other hand has been stuffed down our throats forever through every form of media. We've heard the best already. The lesser known pieces are made plentiful to those more interested in that type of music. Furthermore, with lesser quantities, the pieces become story tellers of history.

Classical music is also a great artifact. And when an artifact is from the distant past, there's some kind of protection from critique and opinion because either the artifact is looked at as a glimpse into history and culture or there isn't much known about the artifact. For example, no one would complain about the shitty engine of a car from the 1920s because it provides a glimpse into history and culture. And maybe that's what classical music is - a shitty engine but intriguing-sounding and looking. These purist/extremists think that classical music is the standard of good music, when it's just music that came first and in lesser quantities.

Real musicians recognize.

Early Today

It was just like old times as a procrastinating high school junior/senior. I was doing some stupid paper while watching the Early Today show on NBC at 4:30 in the morning. Damn I hated those times.

I did anything to stay awake. The show at least helped to sustain my awakeness throughout the procrastination sessions with its sparkling, early riser, fresh as the sunrise music playing before each commercial break, which made for a good quick shot to the arm every time I dozed off at the chair. Through my grogginess and knowledge that I would be seeing only guys the whole day, even the host, Nanette Hansen, looked like the hottest thing since the Chicago Fire of 1871. There were way too many economic details that I gave no shit about or else quickly forgot. I never really paid attention to the actual news because I thought I didn't have any space in my head to simultaneously think about the news and my paper(s).

The only thing I did notice from time to time was the weather from which I always wondered about two things.

First, the weatherman shows/showed national weather with descriptions of weather trends across the nation in a vast array of rainbow colors and then told us, "now lets have a look at your neck of the woods" as if we from Los Angeles were going to get a weather report on local Los Angeles. The audience is then treated to a second of silence as if the show is trying to get the feed from Los Angeles only to hear the weatherman's voice again and see the same exact national weather board with a dull sandy color away and temperatures of the major cities.

And with those major cities, I also wondered why there would only be 1 or 2 temperatures told in California when they had about 8-10 in just the Northeast repeating the same temperatures. Stupid Northeastern bias.

Diagnosis of America: Stupidity

by B.J. on 9/03/2003 10:46:00 AM 0 comments Print this post

Look at this blog as the compilation of all the "political blogs" of the past.

If a doctor gave America a check-up, he'd tell us to go see a car mechanic to fix what we have. Maybe, they'd use one of those welding tools to wake us up. Causes of sickness: blinded by speed, drugged by indulgement, and paralyzed by fear.

Mike Moore probably already said this, but I want to say it too in my boring unfashionable way.

Stupidity is the failure to realize truth. The failure to realize what is/was happening/happened.

America is a society of speed, fear/mystery, and indulgement. Not so good for truth.


The "truth" is synonymous with "negative" in America because the news, which is presumed to be "truth", is overly negative. The news here focuses on the eye-catching "truth" such as high speed car chases, robberies, murders easily but fails to focus on truth that would seemingly take time to resolve. At any rate, America's news media has taught us to be skeptical. Skeptical of the slick used car salesman. Skeptical of corporations. Skeptical of the black man. Skeptical of freekin' everything and "everything's" direct causes. If news content happens to be positive, Americans will dismiss it as idealistic liberalism and impractical.

But let me remind you that no one save for most of the liberal crowd dares be skeptical of "everything's" indirect, general causes. No one outside of the liberal crowd wants to figure out why things in the political arena happen in the larger context because it's simply too complicated and seemingly fails to relate to them. We're too busy attending to ourselves." We're a society that stigmatizes and punishes the economically disadvantaged because they don't live up to standards set by high-class white males like going to college. And a system attacking an individual namely middle-class can sap the most liberal of people and turn them into non-thinking conservatives because it's the easy way out, the route that we like to tell more unfortunate people not to take, but the route that we ourselves would take at the drop of a 50 cent.

This inability and unwillingness to figure out root, general causes to "everything's" happenings encompasses the three craftily titled sicknesses of America: America is happy (indulgement) being skeptical (fear/mystery) of things on the surface (speed). We like to question direct causes rather than what else lies beneath because its much quicker and easier to blame direct causes. We like to pinpoint problems to something convenient. And when you look for something specific, you begin to expect stuff to happen. Therein lies the stupidity. But to be fair, stupidity is bound to happen in as varied and vast a society as America.

What Bowling For Columbine tried to say was that the majority of Americans are a bunch of paranoid, arrogant ignorants. We are nuts, we are trippin', we are stupid regardless of where we lay the blame for such occurrences as the Columbine shootings.

And here's how we got to being so stupid. We are trippin' because we don't know people and we don't know their tendencies. We've lost touch with people being people save for friends and family. We can't see the truth about people. As a result, we lump people into categories and stereotypes by finding statistics about any issue, twisting, tweaking, and bending as necessary, and let the propogation of stupid shit, such as the common characterization that people on welfare (category) are inherently lazy, begin.

And the stuff that helps us lose connection with people: speed, indulgement, and fear.

Speed: We think on impulse. We demand answers and results as soon as possible on whatever we think is relative to us. And that's how the blame game begins. It's bound to happen in a society of millisecond computer processing, 30-minute Friends episodes in which problems are presented and resolved, and cars faster than lightning on steroids.

Indulgement (in ignorance): There's two parts to this explanation. First, we figure we'd be happy not knowing rather than knowing what happens. For example, news = boring, Friends, the tv show = fun. And secondly, we lose and enjoy ourselves in something rather than observing the something. One more example is that we'd enjoy ourselves by watching Friends rather than think about its effect on society such as what stereotypes it propogates.

Fear: We are being consumed with protecting ourselves to the point where we even enjoy it. So much so, that we amplify and concoct problems. We've been distracting ourselves with trying to root out "evil" ever since World War II ended. From President Bush's war on Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction (which have not been found), to increasing amounts of gun ownership despite reduced crime. People in suburbs think that some random urbanite would rob their and only their house when most crimes generally occur with people they know.

Stupid Fax Machine Is Elitist and Wants to Kill Me

These muthafawkin' conveniences. They're just more trouble than they are worth.

Today, it's the fawkin' fax machine. It ran out of film 5 days ago, so then it started beeping. And beeping. And beeping. And its about driven me nuts because it has not stopped.

I would like to know who added sound to the fax machine. Clearly, the added sound to the fax machine was a socially darwinistic high-class office invention. The punk who decided to add sound to this invention obviously failed to take into consideration that fax machine owners would not automatically have film to replace the old film. And the elitist punks knew that poor peons like us who tried to be high-class like them knew that we would not have film. And they took our freekin' money for it. And the name of the guy who added sound to this horrible machine is mysteriously being concealed. Conspiracy ? I think so. This is the high-class way of subtly killing us off to finally create that master breed that they've always wanted.

Bastards.



This constant noise that the fax machine emits is messing with my neurology. The American Academy of pediatrics says, "Noise is undesirable sound."

"Exposure of adults to excessive noise results in: (1) noise-induced hearing loss that shows a clear dose-response relationship between its incidence and the intensity of exposure and (2) noise-induced stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, which reportedly results in high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease (reviewed by Kam et al2)."

Great.

Coincidentally, the guy who invented this fax machine is named Alexander Bain. And Bain sounds like "bane." The bane of my existence.

Maybe tomorrow you will see a picture or even an mpeg file with me beating the crap out of this little lower-class terrorist office space style. But, my dad would get mad.
