What should spew out of my mind tonight?
Too tired to think of anything so here's the daily I-Ching:
---
It is the law of heaven to make fullness empty and to make full what is modest; when the sun is at its zenith, it must, according to the law of heaven, turn toward its setting, and at its nadir it rises toward a new dawn. In obedience to the same law, the moon when it is full begins to wane, and when empty of light it waxes again.
This heavenly law works itself out in the fates of men also.
It is the law of earth to alter the full and to contribute to the modest. High mountains are worn down by the waters, and the valleys are filled up. It is the law of fate to undermine what is full and to prosper the
modest. And men also hate fullness and love the modest.
The destinies of men are subject to immutable laws that must fulfill themselves. But man has it in his power to shape his fate, according as his behavior exposes him to the influence of benevolent or of destructive forces.
When a man holds a high position and is nevertheless modest, he shines with the light of wisdom; if he is in a lowly position and is modest, he cannot be passed by. Thus the superior man can carry out his work to the end without boasting of what he has achieved.

i suppose my extreme hatred for cupertino may at least have something to do with the fact that it's where i grew up. i wouldn't be terribly fascinated by it if i hadn't, but i wouldn't want to live there or visit it either. you can't tell that cupertino has a problem with hookers or tweakers by looking at it. trust me; it's not really a place you want to go hang out in if you don't have to. incredibly boring, very yuppy, and quite expensive. it's also tiny. i'd like to poop on it.
