It's tough to do dailies when I am already feeling the extra two days I'm working now robbing my time--like, holding me up at gunpoint and saying, "give me all your time." Thankfully, I'll only have had a small but substantial amount of time in my back pocket to have stolen away, but still.

Either that or the extra work days feel like I'm whoring myself for money. It's definitely a sacrifice, even causing me to turn yesterday's yet unwritten paper in tonight hopefully. I've changed my subject to Timothy Leary, for kicks.

My job brings me joy, anywho.

I have concluded that because the humanistic theories nurture man to adapt to new ways of thinking, nurture is more powerful than nature (in fact, nature is adaptability), and society, not just parents, nurtures unhealthy thinking. We are, after all, a mere social experiment. If humanistic theories became commonplace, that is attributing reality to all that is inhaled and exhaled (see Eastern thought, as well as other JS journals), which they may as a result of our innocent adoption of labeling and fixing our realities, such as Freud proposed, our society would embrace itself and people would not have to learn about life the hard way but can spend that time loving. We'd all be Robert Duvall's character in Apocalypse Now instead of Dennis Hopper's.

What Apocalypse Now character are you at the moment? (I am the man eating shrimp and twice offering a cigarette.)
