About Me

...
"Nine Inch Nails was an experiment with me in discipline. I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything. Schoolwork came easy to me. I learned to play piano effortlessly. I was coasting. I realized that I was afraid to really, really try something, 100 percent, because I had never reached true failure." --Trent Reznor
"Warfare is the Tao of deception. Thus, although capable, display incapability to them. When committed to employing your forces, feign inactivity. When your objective is nearby, make it appear as if distant; when far away, create the illusion of being nearby." --Sun Tzu
"Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, then the cleansing can begin." --Tori Amos
"We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." --Carlos Castenada
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." --Albert Einstein

Television:

In all animals, the brain (or encephalon, from the Greek "in the head")is the control center of the central nervous system. Human brains, amongst other animals, exhibit a distinction between the gray matter (the dense cell bodies of the neurons) and white matter (fibers connecting the neurons). Deep in the brain, compartments of white matter (fasciculi, fiber tracts), gray matter (nuclei) and spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid (ventricles) are found. The brain controls an extensive variety of functions. It is the source of reason, intelligence, cognition, perception, attention, memory and emotion, aside from body regulation and motor function. Many of these functions, both mental and motor, are automatic, lacking a need for conscious awareness. As a consequence of environmental stimuli, the receptive branches of the nerve cells (dendrites) experience neocortical growth. The neural network of connections are strenthened and enhanced by constant stimulation. Alternatively, studies have shown that a lack of stimulation to these nerve branches will cause their deterioration, ultimately killing off the connections entirely...
