House Tips

I just started watching House about a month ago and between House and Firefly, I have had a slow epiphany. That I used to be like House but I am like Wilson now. Before the desire to wear my "universal love" for all things animate and inanimate on my face took over me, I was much more open in my dealings, or at least I did not constantly act like an emotional cripple which is how my vanity mixed with my romanticism had been trying to resolve the unresolved.
Of course one need not go around being a jerk all the time but perhaps it would be beneficial not to let one's deepest self steer the course of ones life in so ordinary a fashion. Though it does run the risk of making me socialy unpopular and a misfit... but.. wait... I already am socialy unpopular and a misfit :p

I write this with a certain irony of course :p a House like creature would never write this but as long as it serves the purpose to reminding me my resolve of being intellectually honest.




House from lines in the sands.

Dr. House: Why would you feel sorry for someone that gets to opt out of the inane courteous formalities which are utterly meaningless, insincere and therefore degrading? This kid doesn't have to pretend to be interested in your back pain, your secretions or your grandma's itchy place. Imagine how liberating it would be to live a life free of all the mind-numbing social niceties. I don't pity this kid - I envy him.

Safe Word

Stuck in this moment

my gods and yours

faces dry uncharted lands

poetic souls deaf and mute

life riddler on the farthest shore

healer lived right next door

non believer for the first thought

and second

and third

poetic souls deaf and mute

feelings misaligned with words and deeds

give forms to a silhouette

making shadows on the foggy floor

infinite jockey and the rotating square

in search of time

softness, crudeness, thought and mind

deceiving self into the other

dreaming into ever more

silly me...

Gentle Clusture by D Bolanos

With delicate consideration he pokes through
The shivering head numb to such light
Adjusts with weary eyes in an attempt
To work its way to freedom


He baths in the glow with calmness
For a moment the darkness forgotten
His breath licks the freshness of life
As he wonders how long he will survive

In this wondrous glow he embraces
He is blind to the shadow
Emerging beyond the clouds

AWAKE

He escapes back within his shell

Security, loneliness, carefully he searches
To hear if the sounds from above have gone

Where?

Has the danger disappeared?
The mind slips into eternal daze

He wonders

Was it ever really there?

A human child is born bearing same genetic survival mechanisms as many other animals. The mechanism for imitative behavior for example helps a developing brain lay down neural pathways similar to parents since they have proven useful so far for survival.
Acquisition and use of language-as we grow up- draws its symbolic value almost identical to that used in the environment one grows up in. A succesful tradition already has its memes designed to have the maximum hold on the eager learning brain. The individual finds it comforting not to deviate from the norm and risk censure from peers . Even the so called non-conformist ideals of modern age cant help but operate within the sphere of accepted morality as the energy is driven towards giving the illussion of not belonging which works well for both the actor and the audience.
