Still Alive and Kickin'

I haven't posted in ages. I guess I've had a lot to distract me and keep me busy this semester. I have a paper due in two days, so I thought it'd be good to procrastinate by updating my blog. Heh, after 6 years of college, I still know how to procrastinate. Classes have been easy this semester, but then again, it is the Business School, so that's to be expected. Next Fall I'll get to take some CPSC graphics classes, and I am super-pumped about that. In the meantime, I've been working at the Immersive Visualization Center at Texas A&M. It's a TON of fun. 25' by 8' screen with stereo capabilities to produce 3D effects. I'm finally over the learning curve, so I'm really enjoying what I get to do there.

I've been having a lot of debates about opinions lately. Opinions on topics ranging from Muster, breakfast cereal, religion, and everything in between. It's got me thinking. Some say it's bad to be stubborn and unwilling to change one's opinions. But isn't it important to be dedicated to what you think and believe in? Others say it's bad to be wish-washy and not have any opinions. But isn't it important to be open to change? Where is the middle line here? Maybe I'm over-thinking things, but this is who am I and this is what I think about. So, to close this post without any conclusions, some quotes follow:

"He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today." -- Tyron Edwards


"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." -- Oscar Wilde

"Out of passions grow opinions; mental sloth lets these rigidify into convictions" -- Nietzsche

"A man is getting along on the road to wisdom when he begins to realize that his opinion is just an opinion." -- Author Unknown
