Bright AND Colorful AND Sad

This is a weird boolean formula. The last term is so different with the former two that it is difficult to imagine a situation where this formula has the value true.

Yet it had.

I've always considering writing something for Vincent Van Gogh since my visit to his museum in Amsterdam. Yet I'm not confident of expressing everything properly.

Then this formula came to me today and gave me a push to try it out, at least a little, short "something".

His painting style is colorful, his color is bright, his brightness is sad. In the sunflowers as blooming as crazy, in the field as broad as lonely, in the face as wordless as strong-will, there is the struggle to paint. It is so strong that the canvas is far from enough to hold the colors that are running down, flooding the ground and disperse in the atmospere.

To discuss whether he should end his like in the way he did is meaningless. But one thing is certain, even to someone without medical or biological background like me, that it takes time for the blood to drain if the shot is on the abdomen, and that it can be very, very long, and very, very painful.

It is not very far from hope to despair, or from courage to fear, only a little more than from genius to madman.

--Perhaps that's the way of life for the kind of person who can make impossible formula become true. We normal people should not try too hard to understand it.

All rest and no work...

At the age of 6(or close to that age),when I was asked what I want to do in the future,I said proudly that I want to retire (this is a verb,so can fit in the grammatical context well enough) in the future and want to buy a lot of chewing gum enough to fill a whole house (don't ask me why I'm so addicted to that silly food then).

My lack of diligence and motivation was properly corrected. And the next time the same question appears,I would reply I want to be an engineer (or scientist?can't remember),trying to make a self-confident smile at the same time (I really despise that little hypocrite). Then the adults would get satisfied and say something to encourage my ambition,sometimes with a chewing gum as a reward (I would not be bribed to say non-heartily words so easily nowadays.--A digital camera might do).

Yet,"all play and no work" still remains stealthily in my neverland.--Except during every vacation,because that's when this dream really become true:

Too lazy to get up in the morning,too lazy to eat breakfast,too lazy to go out...I did not count the whole days I spend on bed,with food,water and my laptop, switching between status "asleep","watching laptop screen","eating&drinking" and "eating&drinking when watching latop screen". A quite simple Markov model indeed. Artificial intelligence would be much easier to implement if they are only trying to simulate a human being as "Yuan on vacation".My brain got stuck and could write neither fan-fictions for comics nor updates for my blogs. To imitate the gold saying,I can put it this way:"All rest and no work makes Tim a dull boy..."Thanks to a trip to Netherland I still remain a little portion of my sense and did not become a total irreversible dummy (or maybe I am one already,just without knowing it myself).

Then later I have to work hard and now the new semester starts again,making my busy days even exhausting with lectures,exercises and seminars. However,my inspiration is back and I cannot help staying up to 4am updating my unfinished work on naruto.

But I began to dream again the good old days of "all rest and no work"...to sleep is nice...to eat&drink is nice...to play laptop is nice...

To retire is nice...
