apart born chaos clean computer control countless drifting dying efforts fact falling fashion further imagine infinite life ludicrous matter moon neat orderly perfect perpetual reality research start state striving sweating vacuum
In our ludicrous efforts to 'change' and be perfect, we try to fashion a perfect world for ourselves. We start to imagine that we are actually in control of our world, which is further from reality than an all-parrot moon landing. The universe, our universe, is out of our control. We live on a speck drifting around in an infinite vacuum with countless trillions of other specks.

It always has been, and it always will be, no matter how much fussing and sweating and striving we do to make it different.

class easy great learn needed professors studying understand work
In class work, it is easy to learn only what is needed for a grade. When doing research, I try to understand what I am studying completely. Another great thing about it is that I get to work one on one with professors in my field.

adversity awful benefits blast emotion help players press share
I know the benefits of being up in the press box. You see an awful lot more and it's not as chaotic. But the emotion of the game, it's real and you get to look eyeball to eyeball with your players and you get to share the emotion of the game. You get to communicate when there's adversity and you help them through it. I had a blast today.
