A rectangle
by noreply@blogger.com (Jay)21 Oct 2006 at 3:01 pm
What I saw was an imaginably rectangle The yellowish-orange rectangle was floating in my (again) imaginably computer screen. The rectangle is about 14’ x 10, with carefully sandpapered corners; it would not hurt anybody to touch When I read about your theory, the rectangle gracefully stretched as it still kept its core strength That is when my consciousness has pealed of its thin. ... read more

A missing piece for my (possible) journal article…
by noreply@blogger.com (Jay)14 Jan 2006 at 12:34 am
My “self” is looking for an answer: a missing piece for my (possible) journal article… I know that 5-6 journal articles I read are well-written, and I respect these authors for their accomplishment; but they are missing something…Although this void is temporality stopping my writing the outline of this manuscript (still at the conceptual stage), I see that I am about to bump into an insi ... read more
Writing keeps my feet on the ground

Anyway...writing is one of my daily activities that I feel genuine... > Ethics/ ... read more

My Introduction to Psychology 13: Change We can’t really change people…in the foundational way…Yes, people do change when then want to…they become something they want to be…yet people “rebound” to their old self.
