When I was a 'prospective freshman,' at Rice University... ...in the Fall of 2007... ...I had the impression, that the school attracted people... ...who were highly, self-sufficient and/or ambitious (something that requires a solid foundation, for the sake of maintenance... or progression)... I recall going to the movie theatres, to see the movie 'Saw IV'... ...with a track teammate (Ugo Nduaguba)... I also, had been at a party... ...at Rice University... in the Fall of 2007 (Will Rice College, to my recollection - last time I checked, there were 11 colleges... ...at Rice)

Denzel Washington Talks With Female Paparazzi When Spotted Out Shopping On Melrose Ave. In WeHo, CA (youtube.com)

I think when a person goes to certain schools, their parents are often 'of interest'... ...in the eyes, of the parents' peers... ...who may be curious... ...about the trajectory (and life outlook), of 'the student'...

This inference, is based off the nature... ...of 'governing dynamics, branches of influence... ...and interacting networks'...

'If you feel like you're on the phone, with someone... ...and you're not sure, as to 'with who'... ...that could be an indication, that you are on a 'spiritually intended' path... ...in life... ...assuming, the conversation... ...is of 'fluidity'...

NASA spots unexpected X-shaped structures in Earth's upper atmosphere — and scientists are struggling to explain them (yahoo.com)

Interesting article...

At this time, I had the daydream… …that if someone had ‘17’ Olympic gold medals (in the triple jump event, for instance)… …that person, would have to be… …some type of god (if not, god-like)… …given that this likely implies, having won the Olympics… …multiple times (over the span, of decades)…

Creed - One Last Breath (Official HD Music Video) - YouTube

"I’m looking out, I’m looking deeper… …deeper, than I’ve ever… …looked, before… ... ... ...I knew I heard the sound of mangoes… …mangoes, on the floor…" – My rendition of Creed's 'One Last Breath'… …regarding the words, emanated by a slave… …who was recounting, how he earned… … 'his freedom'… (the mangoes, were presumably dropped... ...by his captor)

"A slave, who got a second chance... ...at life (imagine yourself, as this... ...to put your reality, into context... ...regarding your present 'quality of life')..." - Michael Izuchukwu
