In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings. (and of course parentheses)

your birthday is in 21 days and mine in 25. melancholy might kick in soon. great. oh and apparently september babies are born the most romantic lol (i’m going to look back one day and just feel silly and smile)
Northern lights flicker over the sky, and down from the north sea blow a frozen wind... meanwhile on the northern train that is howling like a wolf under the moon light, going into a city. And the late night walks while the city sway in the cold. It’s when the great melancholy rolls in...what is love? can I feel it again?
Sitting in my room (back home in NYC) listening to Interstellar soundtrack is just an awe-inspiring experience! It was an epic scifi film, one with emotion, action, love, and sweeping landscapes of a ‘strange new world’. Surely everyone who has seen this movie probably felt some element of that.
But what really kept the philosophical meaning of the movie was the OST. I mean the score by Hans Zimmer is just absolutely dramatic and otherworldly! It just makes you fell as if you were witnessing the grandeur of our universe, the impossible and the pioneering voyages, right from the characters mind.
Oh (still listening to the music) and the empowering sound whilst giving us the violins, organs and horns of the epicness made his soundtracks magnificent. And, its just beautiful how Hans sneaks in his moving piano themes that brings out the characters emotions and yearning so very well. It just stamps these vibes and what you make out of the movie scene right into your head.
Ok getting to the point here: Of course one of Interstellar’s novum is love. I still ponder on Brand’s quote “Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.“ I mean Interstellar does not try to say that love is another dimension. It's actually just a beautiful metaphor?
Look, all of the emotional factors in Interstellar simply should not undermine the idea concept that love is just as solid and strong as the other forces making up our planet universe. So talking chemistry, love is no more unstable than certain radioactive elements, it pushes and pulls us better than gravity ever could, and it endures through time (metaphor, duh).
People who have seen interstellar interpret it in many different ways! Some are just blindly wowed by the science and how epic it was, and some..
(my eyes are drooping right now...i should perhaps get some sleep lol) But really, Interstellar is utterly filled with deep elements of existential-philosophical subtext! I’m afraid to use the word ‘love’ outside the quotation marks but yea! I’m just rambling at this moment.
Apollo era is still the golden age of aerospace!

Data analytics is getting pretty fascinating these days! Wish I had the time to take more courses
Walked around Manhattan today after like 7 months (beginning of January)… (and that was the last time I walked around the city with you)

there’s nothing wrong with choosing a comfortable life over a difficult one, as long as at each reevaluation and reflection you can truthfully say, “there’s nowhere better I could be than where I stand today”

Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had.
Italo Calvino, from Invisible Cities (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974)
As time passed, I visited her less often. Eventually, I went an hour without thinking of her, then a few hours, then a day, then a week, then a month.
When I visit her profile now (yes, i don’t see her in person anymore), the sting isn’t as sharp. I am proud of her when she finds success in her ballet career, and I am sad for her when someone she knows isn't doing well.
Maybe she’s different now; I certainly am. Maybe she doesn’t get quiet when she gets upset, or she even bakes much better cookies (god I miss them). Maybe I don’t know her at all. That brief moment after waking was always the worst. That moment when I felt like the dream was reality — like maybe we never broke up at all.
But still, thinking of her reminds me that I am capable of love. It reminds me that when you truly care for another person, it never really goes away. You left me, but your scent still lingers.
Launch day! Watch Samantha, Terry and Anton leave Earth for ISS today.

since when did I get this emotional about saying short-term goodbye?
Intense.
Street of dreams is an epic story of the power of love and the power of dreams. This is a story of unbridled emotion. A story of Italy; of Hollywood; and of the world. Its classic cinematic style evokes both the grandeur of the golden years of Hollywood, and the passion and emotion of Europe’s greatest cinema icons.

Whether it take two hundred thousand parts, eight hundred thousand hours of super-computing time, 3 million lines of code, 40 thousand sets of eyes or a million sleepless nights. Whether its building the world's most advanced satellite, the space station or the next leap in unmanned systems, as an engineer one thing never changes, our passion to make it real.
