Urinal

He put a spectacular bathtub in the bathroom, he designed a walk-in robe near his bedroom.

Excretion

Life is excretion. A good shit experience feels nice, maybe that explains why we are always excreting. We eat food and produce excrement. We inhale fresh air and produce foul air. We take a shower and produce tons of polluted water. We fight and produce corpses. We consume Coca-Cola and produce commercials of nonsense. We put flowers in a vase and produce dead flowers. We buy new phones and produce dead phones in the drawer.

Language

We are nothing but language. But I am sick of our languages. The language we use is rudimentary. Use math as an analogy, our language only knows additions and subtractions, and while doing this basic operation it includes a lot of redundant steps with unneeded zeros. It’s slow, ambiguous, obscure, twisted, vague and toxic. I wish there is a just language, a powerful language, a simple language, a perfect language, a language that conveys messages without distortion, a language that allows people to express their feelings without hesitation, a language that connects people.

Timer

E carries an egg timer with her. She always keeps the timer on, so her day is cut to multiple intervals by the egg timer. When she works, she starts the timer, trying to fully dedicate herself to the job until the timer rings, at which time she starts the timer again to relax as much as possible, until it rings, again. E likes this timer idea, so she uses this methodology to think about the methodology itself.

Momentum

$$\mathbf{p} = m\mathbf{v}$$ Where there is mass and velocity, there is momentum. Being a vector, it has a direction. The momentum of the human’s mindset is a multidimensional vector, and it’s changed through collisions. The collision happens when we are reading, listening, touching, and of course, thinking. Everything we experience contributes to this matrix transformation. Cogito, ergo sum.

Phlegm

Phlegm can have different colors. You feel absolute pleasure when you get rid of a chunk of nasty phlegm in your throat. It’s similar to a good defecation experience. But people are more familiar with defecation, so diluting the pleasure. There was a joke that’s been impressing me since I was a kid. Two guys walk into a theater, they see a spittoon in the corner. So they make a bet, the one with the courage to take a bite of the phlegm in the spittoon gets a free movie ticket from the other one.
