hot. shall we?

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.

Critical thinkers
work diligently to develop the intellectual virtues of intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility, intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason.

They strive to improve the world in whatever ways they can and contribute to a more rational, civilized society. At the same time, they recognize the complexities often inherent in doing so. They recognize the complexities in developing as thinkers, and commit themselves to life-long practice toward self-improvement. They embody the Socratic principle: The unexamined life is not worth living, because they realize that many unexamined lives together result in an uncritical, unjust, dangerous world.


Excellence in thought, must be systematically cultivated.

every time a conference call runs over
every time we have an 'after-meeting' after the meeting
every time we get emails from Seema at 1:30am and 6am in one night (and she works full time! i don't know how she does it)

...i shake my head.

it's unbelievable how much time and thought and love was & is being invested for this one evening, for an event that will last only four hours,
a concert that most of the volunteers won't even see

i cannot believe i am part of group of people who dream up things like this

Knitting Factory. 9pm. June 27

while restacking the books in my closet i found my copy of The Art of Living where i had written, in the margins of page 7, reasons why i needed to shave my head

i think i give the impression that i don't care how i look when i leave the house (ask Brian)
which is true most of the time, but part of it is ignorance.
accessorizing is not my strongpoint. and i was blessed with this mustache

but anyway, i think about it all the time -- what it means to be really beautiful.
more than mascara and Bare Minerals and losing 10 pounds

the kind of beauty i've always wanted is deeper than that, and it requires a drastic kind of makeover (not lipo or plastic surgery)

i thought if I shaved my head, I would feel so ugs that i would be forced to cultivate beauty from the inside
everyday for a year (or longer, until my hair grew back) I would look in the mirror
Could i see beauty there and BELIEVE it, when i could barely see it even when i had a full head of hair

i think after a year of asking that question, i don't think i could NOT be changed by it.

in the end i had the scissors in my hand, and i couldn't do it

so what magazine could i read to fix it? how does a person become really beautiful, without lipo or surgery or scissors or makeup?

Heed this warning!  Do not open several gmail windows on two different computers to view multiple google docs while simultaneously writing 3 emails because they will shut down your email account at the most inopportune moment.  Don't do it!  :(

omg who do i think i am? no one reads my emails anyway

sometimes i get so "busy" that i'll look up at the clock and 6 hours have passed in front of the computer.  i just wasted another 20 seconds typing that sentence

i should probably use this break to reflect on my life.  :P

in other news, this weekend i finally got to meet Kermit's biological father, and i must say i have a huge crush on him.  he also happens to be gay (yes kermit's dad is 100% gay. long story)

i also learned that kermit's 5 yr old nephew would like to marry me, which may be a problem because kermit is planning to propose to me if he's not married at age 45, but it wouldn't work out anyway because i love his gay father

i would like to think that i am officially part of kermit's family now

Still There Is Something Missing
