Day 2: Incognito

Yes, I know, weird title right? Don't worry, there's a reason for that...sort of. In Computer Science today I had the strange urge to utter that word. I never got the chance to, so I figured I'd talk about it in the blog. Incognito...its such a strange yet fascinating word. Perhaps it has a foreign flair that makes it so interesting, or maybe the combination of contrasting consonants happens to make my spine tingle, but either way, incognito is a pretty cool word...

...If only I knew what it actually meant, haha. Do any of you guys know? If so, post the definition in the comments.

Today was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong thursday. Lack of sleep + no motivation + no breaks = me being a mindless zombie. It didn't help that it was thursday. Come to think of it, thursday is like the big bully as far as the days of the week go. He likes to taunt us with the thought of the weekend starting tomorrow...but of course we still have to go to school one more day. It's truly heartbreaking in my opinion. Do you agree?

Ok, time to talk about music. Currently I've been listening to a lot of Mat Kearney and Relient K, especially the songs "Never Be Ready" (Mat Kearney) and "Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet" (Relient K). The first song deals with....well come to think of it I don't really know what its about. Its a good chill song though, so if you need to relax, turn to Mat Kearney for some entertainment.

I have to say I love the title "Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet". Random titles like that are always a plus. Not to worry, this song isn't about chopping our dear friends up into tiny rectangular bits. Rather, its a good song to listen to if you really wanna punch someone, but at the same time you really don't. Its a good song for blowing off steam, and for that genius purpose, I give this a 9 out of 10 shiny coffee mugs (yes, you heard me, shiny coffee mugs...)

OH, one final thing. If you have not seen the music video for "Strawberry Swing" by Coldplay, you must watch it on youtube. Like now. No seriously, watch it NOW, and then come back so I can give you a high five *gives you a high-five* and wish you a happy 14th of January (yay?)

Well, thats all I have to say. G'nights interwebs!

    haufe, you're magical. jsyk. incognito is when you're in disguise. i.e., I went to the fair incognito and no one recognized me behind my mask.
    and i claim responsibility for introducing you to relient k's screamo side. :D

  2. Incognito: in-, a common prefix meaning not, similar to the prefix un-, plus cognito, which has the same root as cognitive, cognition, etc., which generally mean to know, to think, etc., processes which involve knowledge and understanding. Combined together, we can infer that the word means to not know, or recognize, a person or object.
    ***the above CONNOTATIVE definition was provided curtosy of my English II training under the remarkable JPW3. :D for a denotative definition, go use dictionary.com :P
