			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	There are so many things to learn in the world&#8230;I sometimes wish that I could stop time and just READ.  Here&#8217;s a list of all things that fascinate me and I wish I has more time to learn about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Physics</li>
<li>Chemistry</li>
<li>Math</li>
<li>Quantum mechanics</li>
<li>Programming</li>
<li>Hacking</li>
<li>Networking</li>
<li>Animals</li>
<li>Jungles</li>
<li>Deserts</li>
<li>South Asia</li>
<li>Scandinavia</li>
<li>South America</li>
<li>Africa</li>
<li>Space</li>
<li>Language</li>
<li>Cooking</li>
<li>Hunting</li>
<li>Fishing</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>Mythology</li>
<li>India</li>
<li>Political Theory</li>
<li>Religions</li>
<li>God</li>
<li>The universe</li>
<li>Life</li>
<li>Love</li>
<li>Poetry</li>
</ul>
<p>When I think of the sheer massive amounts of information out there, it is simply overwhelming.  I mean, I could pick just one topic that I mentioned and spend the rest of my life learning about that one thing.  Take programming for example.  You can split that into different languages&#8230;like C, C#, C+, C++, Java, Javascript, VB, VBA, VBScript, VB .NET, VB .Net 2005, PHP, PHP4, PHP5, Python, Ruby, Lisp, Perl, SQL, etc etc etc.  And that&#8217;s JUST A FEW of that languages that exist.  Then I could pick just one of those languages and spend a very long time learning and mastering it.</p>
<p>Consider that one little piece of a single topic could take years to learn about, and expand that to cover all the pieces in that topic, and expand that even more to cover all topics&#8230;that&#8217;s hundreds, if not thousands of years of possible learning&#8230;and that&#8217;s if there were no new discoveries/developments.  I find that exciting and yet depressing at the same time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve probably been thinking more about this as I think about what I want to do with my life&#8230;and the answer that I keep coming up with is EVERYTHING.  I want to do everything that I can out of everything that there is.  And when I stop to think about what &#8220;everything&#8221; actually is, it blows me away.</p>
