Strange Research Study at UNC

I just received the following study invitation from UNC. For such an invasive study, it seems that there is very little information given. — Are You a Healthy Male Age 18 to 49? Interested in Participating in a Clinical Research Study??? Investigators at UNC are looking for healthy men to participate in a drug study! […]

My ‘Inspiration’

Earlier this evening I was reviewing the contents of my “Inspiration” folder. It is a little folder that resides on my personal share on my server. The folder contains images I have collected for a while, most of which are very personal to me. The images represent my artistic and aesthetic interests. The folder contains […]

Problem with Distance Education Courses

The number one problem with distance education courses is that the instructor isn’t close enough to strangle when they do something stupid. I have a health assignment due on June 14th, and it is still not posted to the course website. There were problems with the instructor not having things posted early in the semester, […]

On my walls….

Reflection on Time-of-day Photos

I hate my time-of-day pictures from my project this weekend. I think they are redundant and boring. I would have been much happier doing different scenes at the different times… perhaps based on what looks best for each scene. I felt restricted because I needed to be around the same place for 12 hours and […]

Sleep Discrimination

I am not typically a day person, at least, not a dawn-to-dusk person. My present photography assignment requires me to be awake from “early morning” until “early evening” to get different levels of light. At the current time I am not being a “day walker”, so this assignment will be a bitch, but I suppose […]

Texture Photography

http://www.disturbingthoughts.net/gallery2/v/album/20080606/ I had some fun last night with my macro lens and my shoes, capturing some texture. Some of the images may be a little raw since I haven’t cropped them yet, but I believe they get the point across.

Questionnaire for Heterosexuals

This very interesting questionnaire was part of the resources listed for this week’s activities in my Personal Health and Wellness course: http://advocatesforyouth.org/lessonplans/heterosexual2.htm.

The Psychological Impact of Doom

For the past few months I have been playing a PC video game, something that wasn’t normal for me for the longest portion of my life (unless we include Chess, Checkers, and Minesweeper). For a long time I never had any interest in computer games, especially not first person shooters, I considered them to be […]

Public Sexuality

For my personal health and wellness course this semester I had to fill out a worksheet stating my feelings about sex and other assorted topics. As most of you know, I am gay, with a tendency to act asexual most of the time. I don’t make a lot of other information available to my general […]
