It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my life, as I know it. I did tell you about the girlfriend now in my life again, and my new venture as being one self-employed, but I think I maybe spent less than a paragraph combined in telling you. The last day of my old life was the end of May, and I’ve been on my own since. Then, I went to Europe for two weeks, to visit my old girlfriend, who is living in England. We went to Rome, and that was like one of the great traveling experience of my life. I daydreamed about it for like two weeks after I got back here to New York City. So, I have a girlfriend again. There’s been drama, too: she didn’t get in contact with me for about a month, but we talked end of last week. Turned out she was having “the worst summer of her life”, and I was no small part of the maelstrom of stress that was her life. But at least I finally got through. We’ll see what happens next.
As far as my new job goes, it’s awesome. I mentioned in passing that it’s open source artificial intelligence. The greatest thing about it, I would say, is the hours. Well, yes, it’s doing things that I would do anyway, but I found I can keep some very strange hours. Like staying up for 32 hours and then sleeping for 12. And be productive, all they way up to passing out from exhaustion. Life is so awesome. No one understands what I am doing. Well, very few. I am reminded of when Albert Einstein was asked, “Is it true that only three people in the world understand Relativity?” To which he paused. “Dr. Einstein?” And he said, “I’m trying to think of who the third person is.” Which is not to compare myself with Albert. Heh. But I am very proud of the work I’m doing. Not too many people in the world can say that so wholeheartedly. To sign off for now, as E. E. Cummings said of asking nature questions, “you answer them only with spring”. Indeed.

Make me feel like I'm allowed.Make me feel like there is someplace where people have no power.
