“What is silence?”
“Is it possible to be silent if everyone else around you is screaming?”
“Even when I try to go to sleep at night, I hear screaming. I hear gangs outside screaming. I hear the neighbors screaming. So I can’t be silent if I’m silent.”
“Even if it’s possible for someone to block out all the noise around you, it’s still impossible for him to be silence.”
“You can’t be silent to yourself, even if you are silent to everyone else. I may not talk out loud, but I still talk to myself. I still have conversations with myself inside my head, even if no one else hear me. I can’t turn off the voices in my head. So that’s not being silent. Is it?”

Quoted verbatim from Socrates Café – A fresh taste of philosophy, Christopher Phillips.

Blood Diamond
Truth is I watched this particular movie due to Leo (though I never completely watch the Titanic). I like this one because of the real life portrayal of the conflict-diamonds from South Africa. Machine guns, bombs & lotsa blood - gory details. No sex. Refugees camp. Even if I’ve the money (lotsa them), I’m going to rule out those diamonds unless it is certified conflict-free.

And this is from The Star-Lifestyle section yesterday,
Cheek
A mole on the cheek (either cheek) indicates a serious and studious person who has no interest in material pleasures.

On a less serious note
Finally, I told my advisor about her fave phrase, “I dunno know whether you realize this or not…” and immediately catch her at it at the second (and third) time (we both had a good guffaw!). Ah-ha! Now, each of us had to hold ourselves in check since the words/phrases we use are annoying for some people, to say the least.
But, am I rude?
