My playmates are ignored truths. They never come to play freely. I've got to seek them out. Sometimes they're cloaked in the garb of strange ideas. Other times hiding in plain sight below our noses, behind popular assumptions. In my playground the games played have one purpose, take thought wherever truth leads. As the days go by, I hope to make friends with true ideals. Welcome to my playground of deep musings on the mundane. Leave your prejudices at the door.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2009359589394632051/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Enoch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01123477530241681915</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EjoNio6U7zg/SrcOO15vQEI/AAAAAAAAAAw/e0XFOPuIkZc/S220/Ramanujan.jpg'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>3</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2009359589394632051.post-614180709363507422</id><published>2010-06-19T06:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-19T06:22:46.440-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bizarre paradise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rush'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='growth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stress junkie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No fuckups allowed'/><title type='text'>Burnout Paradise</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.talisman.org/%7Eerlkonig/humour/Despair/burnout.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 337px;" src="http://www.talisman.org/%7Eerlkonig/humour/Despair/burnout.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Main Entry: burn·out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pronunciation: \ˈbərn-ˌau̇t\&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Function: noun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: 1940&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;1 : the cessation of operation usually of a jet or rocket engine; also : the point at which burnout occurs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 a : exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration b : a person suffering from burnout&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;3 : a person showing the effects of drug abuse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and gents. It is fair to say I am experiencing total burnout. You see, yours truly is a chronic procrastinator. You know how some of you think you are procrastinators? Well, shove it. I am the king, so much so that if death comes to take my life, chances are, I’ll procrastinate dying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It works well for me because I prefer having sustained bouts of very intense hard work than a light sprinkle of tasks spread over a much longer period. It’s a rush. A most refined rush. And when you make a habit out of it, you become well acquainted with your limits and you push their boundaries. How else can one be said to truly grow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe I’m just your garden variety junkie and the rush is my razor delineated thin white line? Addicted to working in a burnout. One long sniff and I feel like a seraph in paradise. Burnout paradise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, in my current situation, there’s a slim chance say I don overdo am. But make we dey watch.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2009359589394632051-614180709363507422?l=shallowyarns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/feeds/614180709363507422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/2010/06/burnout-paradise.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2009359589394632051/posts/default/614180709363507422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2009359589394632051/posts/default/614180709363507422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/2010/06/burnout-paradise.html' title='Burnout Paradise'/><author><name>Enoch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01123477530241681915</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EjoNio6U7zg/SrcOO15vQEI/AAAAAAAAAAw/e0XFOPuIkZc/S220/Ramanujan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2009359589394632051.post-3432365363599145111</id><published>2010-04-19T14:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-19T14:31:24.268-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Testing'/><title type='text'>Testing</title><content type='html'>Testing otu abuo ato&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2009359589394632051-3432365363599145111?l=shallowyarns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/feeds/3432365363599145111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/2010/04/testing.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2009359589394632051/posts/default/3432365363599145111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2009359589394632051/posts/default/3432365363599145111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shallowyarns.blogspot.com/2010/04/testing.html' title='Testing'/><author><name>Enoch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01123477530241681915</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EjoNio6U7zg/SrcOO15vQEI/AAAAAAAAAAw/e0XFOPuIkZc/S220/Ramanujan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2009359589394632051.post-6189974967458856738</id><published>2010-02-14T17:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-14T17:37:32.449-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging was fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catharsis over'/><title type='text'>GOODBYE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://learnjavafx.typepad.com/weblog/images/2008/06/09/goodbye.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
