After an 8 hour shift, there is very little in my head that is even remotely worthy of being distilled into prose fiction. Some jobs just sit on your neck.

I read something on the net about writing a list of 10 things you know to be true. I found the author's list terribly plain and self-evident, but accord is to be expected between people who compulsively write lists. So here it is. I will try not to regurgitate Alan Watts.

1. People who need teachers will never truly learn
2. Almost everyone is compensating for something or trying to fill some void
3. Our tendency to view our actions in light of their consequences has transformed the mundane and trivial into de facto guilty pleasures
4. Most humans cannot disassociate pleasure and pain from happiness and sadness
5. Olfactory sensation is the most intense of the five senses; A blocked nose is a small tragedy
6. Drugs are to happiness as music played through speakers is to music
7. Progress is not an end in itself
8. Every person personifies one mood
9. Good brandy shouldn't be wasted on dying heroes
10. The only way to permanently change yourself is to reorder your surroundings; Post-it notes, Feng shui etc.
