i close my eyes to all light and listen to the sounds
there is only darkness and a hushed whispering wind
the dull desperate thud of a heart beating dead alive
pulsing blood singing dulcet sea songs in my ear
and from inside, i hear old air pushing past dry flesh as i cough
a sick sound
i am new but broken since birth
and all mess is just scattered beauty, lost to itself



Sometimes its nice to read depressing but deap writings accompanied with a reflective photo. I’m currently in that mood…

Once again I find myself wondering what drives us to undertake this sort of work. I remember my friend Daniel saying that there are 4 motivations for working with MSF – escape, adventure, money and idealism.

Dr. Kiran Jobanputra, MSF doctor working in the Congo

Read Full Blog Post. 
^^while this is probably true, it really saddens me that the “idealism” is last, and as the article goes on to explain was sort of tact on because some people care about the humanitarian aspect. That’s all I care about! I could be poor, stuck in one place and escaping no terrible home life, maybe even leaving them behind :( but all I want to do as a doctor is save lives; care for others. ~kelsey

Diffraction images like this one are produced when a protein crystal is irradiated with X-rays from a particle accelerator. Using X-ray diffraction, scientists can decode the internal structure of complex protein molecules such as enzymes. (Source: Max Planck Working Groups on Structural Molecular Biology) 

Who ever said that science wasn’t art? Look at this! Could you have come up with something that intricate on your own? Where do you think inspiration started? In my belief, that is God’s creation that is just so incredible!

Physics? What is that… haha. nah, I’m a believer of physics… although who knows, someday maybe someone will find that the apple does not fall at all… But really, Lords of Dogtown was an awesome movie! And I wish I could skate board/surf board/ roller blade on pipes like that. I mean I wish I could do any of that at all!

“Cleaning my owl.”
“That’s deep, man.”

That is not a happy owl…
Also, I miss my Merlin! (yes that does mean I had an owl) it was a bard owl that had a broken wing so we had him at the rehabilitation centre at my high school. Merlin was my project (to care for and take out every day) Best school project ever!!! 
Ps, did you know owls actually really like cuddling? :) its cute.

 This is cool to think about I think. :) Imagine life without electricity. And we don’t even know where it comes from!

Is this a good song? I’m afraid to say I like it because I’ve never heard of these guys. I live in a cave. If I come out and say I like it, and they end up being the next Nickleback, then I’ll never be able to live it down. But they remind me of Cake and I love Cake. So I ask you, the people of tumblr, do I like this song?

Yes its a good song and I love them!!!!! and why does everyone hate nickleback?! they were awesome one minute then everybody turned their backs and all of a sudden just hated them…

ITER (originally the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international tokamak (magnetic confinement fusion) research/engineering project that could help to make the transition from today’s studies of plasma physics to future electricity-producing fusion power plants.

um… cool? ya for saving ourselves for a bit longer on this earth that we so don’t deserve to be ruining and taking all of her natural resources…

The essential component of wavy flow is the vortex. In isolation, a single vortex simply influences its surroundings to orbit around itself at a speed proportional to the inverse square of the distance to the vortex’s axis. When a large number of vortexes are put together in a specific pattern, certain large-scale shapes can be created; when put together in a statistically-significant pattern, true fluid turbulence can be simulated; but when completely disorganized, they describe the flowfield seen here. Via.

As if I understand any of that… I bet people reblog this stuff just to make themselves look smart. It’s like Stephen Hawking said, back in the dark ages when we had only books to read and no blogs or twitter accounts to update… that people have his book on their shelves at home just to make them look smarter. They never once even open it or try to read it. Well, I’ll read this again and see if I get any more, but I’ve told you I don’t understand… maybe one day.
