Coagulations of the Pre-Dawn Mind

Its 8 am.

I'm not awake yet.

Give me a few minutes...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Alright, slightly more awake now. Its 8:19 now. I don't think the sun is up; it wasn't at 7:30 when I woke up, but maybe that was just me being unobservant as I scrabbled for the tea pot. I sometimes wonder if I am a little bit of a hypocrite; I say I don't need caffeine, but if I didn't drink tea I wouldn't be able to get anywhere during the day. I need at least 3 cups a day to function. I can manage on one, of course, but that's pushing it a little.

Speaking of hypocracy, what is it about the facelessness of the interwebs that allows for people to be... I don't know, assholes? My apologies for the language, but its the most succinct way to describe them. From a psychology perspective, its amazing. Its a bit like the Milgram experiments, in which people will hurt others so long as someone else is in a position of authority. It happened in Nazi Germany, and probably is the concept that most military structure is based off of, but it seems to be acceptable on the internet too. Someone bothers you, you can rage and scream at them all you want and then call them a hypocrite when they pwn you. It amuses me, it scares me... Maybe its something to study later on in my degree?

We'll have to see about that.
