If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Except, in engineering, everything is broken and can always be made better.

Hipsters are mediocre artists at best

Here are some blatant opinions of mine without any backing or definitions:

Hipsters and folks with hipster-like personalities are mediocre artists at best because their judgmental attitude inhibits them from perceiving their reality in an artistic and creative way.

People are driven to become hipsters because they lack passion or talent for pursuing a more interesting life, including art.

Hipsters, however, have the ability discern good art from bad art just like anyone else but often times are misdirected into thinking bad art is good solely because others shy away from it.

When hipsters pursue art, it is often half-assed.

When hipsters pursue art, their methodology is often iterative reduction: erase it until it looks good.  This makes sense because hipsters are usually just science-minded people with no motivation for pursuing science and no talent for innovating things.

Good artists are passionate about their art.  The passionate but bad artists end up becoming good artists after a while.

I will not try to justify these opinions with experience or logic.  Take these opinions however you want and see if your experiences and logic agree or disagree with them.  Note that I haven't even defined what a hipster is.  Maybe its just a term for a subset of people I despise.

I've been feeling really apathetic

I've been feeling really apathetic ever since the start of spring break.  If I've learned anything from the past two weeks, it's that I've never relied on my emotions to get work done and complete day to day tasks.  This means that I show almost no physical symptoms of my emotional change.

I wonder if I've drunk too much alcohol or if this is just a part of growing up.  Maybe this is the result of my bad diet, since I haven't been eating much vegetables or fruits lately.  Whatever the cause, I feel like my mind has been copied, the original discarded, and the copy put into the shell of my body.  I feel like I've lost something that made me human two weeks ago.  I feel like I've lost my sharpness and clarity of thought.  Is my brain fried from a stressful quarter?  I don't feel concerned even though I should be because I am apathetic.

I have a hard time comprehending what I see.  It's as if my emotional center of the brain has been detached.

Edit (4/25):  I may be transforming into a sociopath.  My apathy seems normal and permanent now, but reading my past posts, I was clearly not the person I am now.
