Limits of my Understanding

There's a lot of things I know I don't understand. Especially lately, I've become more aware of the limitations of my own understanding. None of that "Things Man Was Not Meant to Know" nonsense, but more Things I Don't Get. I mean, there's some things we probably can't know, at least not yet. Either because we don't have enough information, or it's something our brains never had to evolve to wrap around back when we were hunting mammoths on the African plains. Like six dimensional geometry and stuff. Which isn't to say we'll never be able to understand them.

But that's not the kind of not understanding I'm talking about. The stuff I'm talking about is more mundane. The kinds of stuff I don't understand because of how I've lived so I never learned it early enough. Or the kind of stuff that's opposite a lot of the things I care about. Or the kind of stuff I just haven't put the time and/or effort into learning about it and understanding. And there's probably some things I'm unconsciously blocking myself from understanding. And there's some things where I can practically FEEL there's something important and meaningful there, I can feel the shape and edges of it, I know it's there, but I just can't quite grasp it.

( For example, Religion. This isn't really an anti-religion rant, this is a "I don't understand this" post, but might still offend some people. I'm still curious though. )

Karma Hunters

I'm not sure if I'd find this song half so hypnotic without the video. Because I really like the video, I dig the design of the whole thing. The song's pretty catchy too.

Foiled Again

I really need to plan my costumes out sooner for Halloween. That or I should have just asked some of my female friends to see if they had any more expertise on the subject. I just got back from looking for hair dye, silly me I was looking for something that said "This will dye your hair this color for this long."

Um yeah, no. Not even close. And silly me, I figured if I went to a general store like Target or Safeway, they'd have stuff in their Halloween section. Again no. There's aisles full of mysterious boxes with head shots of women and their hair on them, and mysterious writing, but nothing I knew how to translate. Nd no one at any of the stores could be any help, of course. And the couple hair/beauty shops I tried didn't have anything. I shoulda just gone the other way to the Halloween/costume store, but their clerks probably wouldn't be much more help. Plus the matter of time. Oh well, my hair's not that far off, just a bit lighter. Hopefully, it'll be close enough. Though showing up in just an ugly colorful shirt and jeans isn't that far from how I normally dress for work. Heh.
