Maté OoopsRan into this piece of information about my favourite morning drink/tea which I've been drinking every morning for about a year now:
"Yerba Mate is also regarded as one of nature’s weight loss secrets by speeding up the metabolism, curbing the appetite and helping the body to release excess calories rather than storing them as fat." — matefactor.com
Haha. Ooops. Helps explain how I've managed to lose 5-10 lbs (that I didn't really have to lose in the first place.) Probably also explains why I'm usually never hungry at work until after 2pm after drinking 8 cups of maté in the morning at work.
I suppose I really shouldn't be boastful about this.

My Tea ObsessionWithin the past year or two, I've slowly but assuredly become obsessed with tea. I started out drinking a cup of black tea (purchased from the local Trader Joes) every morning at work. With time, I began to brew multiple cups throughout the day. Eventually I ended up buying various teas online and found that there's much better tea out there than just your generic Black and Green teas. Last September/October I stopped drinking anything with corn syrup in it and incidentally all I now drink is tea. These days I drink anywhere from 8 to 16 cups of tea on any given day. I start my mornings with Maté, and usually brew up some Honeybush or Rooibos in the afternoon. Often times in the evening I'll throw together a custom blend of various herbs. Deliciousness. I love tea.
So.. Exhibited in the pictures on the right is my current tea collection (it changes quite quickly.) Here's my current inventory. All tea is loose leaf tea unless otherwise noted.

| I have been thinking of switching to tea as a replacement for my insanely unhealthy addiction to Mountain Dew. | |

INTPLast night while doing some research on Monster.com I came across this personality type quiz. I took the quiz and it told me that my personality type was INTP or Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Perceiver. The site goes on to explain:
People of this type tend to be: quiet, independent, and private; logical and unemotional; creative, ingenious, and innovative, global thinkers; curious and driven to increase their competence; casual, and adaptive; nonconforming and unpredictable.
Here are just a few popular and often satisfying careers for people whose Personality Type is INTP.
- Computer software designer/developer
- Venture capitalist
- Legal mediator
- Financial analyst
- Economist
- College professor: philosophy, economics
- Musician
- Intellectual property attorney
- Web site designer
- Investigator
- Strategic planner
- Neurologist
- Pharmaceutical researcher
- Network integration specialist
Computer software designer/developer, Venture capitalist, College philosophy professor, Musician, Web site designer? I suppose it's nice to know that at least I'm on the right track with my interests. Not knowing what I'm doing with my future has been so debilitating lately..

| I read about this type of psychology (something-ontics?) and it concerns me a little. I took a test last night and it gave me the INTP type, but then this morning I did it again and fell into a completely different type. Meh. Marco marco marco. The new browser-side database HTML 5 is implemented in the webkit nightlies. Have you seen it? Also, do you use xslt at all/exclusively? Did you move completely onto being a rails guy? |

| Most if not all psychology tests suffer from the same issue. Variables like how tired you are, how you feel, what emotional stress you're under can all change the outcome. It is psychology, after all.. I have not seen the browser-side db. I am familiar with and use/have used XSLT, yes. Not sure why you'd want to use it exclusively. Nor am I sure what relation it holds with rails. But no, I am not completely a rails guy.. Although, I do fancy rails. |

RunningSometimes I think about running away. Not because school or work are difficult, but because neither make me truly happy.

i have all these thoughts all on which i never act in fact, i let them pass they slip by and the equilibrium of my being continues to unbalance continues to unhinge |
i have left the country don't know where i'll be don't know when i'll return don't fret, though for i'll be that which i seek sought maybe i'll see adieu. i ran away. |
|
chicken, chicken you'll never do it. too responsible. too generous. not nearly bold enough. barely spontaneous. hah! useless. |

I once wrote of a door through which I would step, but first I needed a key to unlock the entry way to the next chapter in my life. Since then I've long gone through that door of which I then spoke, but unfortunately the room to which the door lead was much smaller than I had hoped for.
| The room is so small I am stuck. I am stuck. words. |
I am stuck and cannot leave. I need to get out. words. |
