And furthermore...
Posted Oct 10, 2002
Why is it that people always rate levels of violence with reference to the insect world? What I mean is, if some fellow's dog is barking at you and you appear nervous, the above-mentioned chap will likely try to console you with something like, "don't worry, he wouldn't hurt a fly". This bothers me, and frankly, I still don't trust his dog. I think we should guage violence by things we all really hate. For example, if he had said something like, say, "don't worry, he wouldn't harm a Nazi", I might reply with something like, "Wow, that must be some friendly pooch. Say, do you suppose he'd eat this doggie treat from right out of my mouth?" See my point?

This can't be good.

About three weeks ago, I pulled an allnighter to get my homework done on time. It turned out great, I even got a good mark. The problem is, it worked out so well, that I did it again two nights later, and again two nights after that. My body has now become accustomed to staying awake for 32 hours, followed by 16 hours of sleep, and I can't change back. I don't think this is good for me. But I wonder if I qualify for a social minority now... maybe I can get some kind of funding...

I really need some coffee.
Hey, I was reading last month's Scientific American today. Anyone read that article on how to build your own time machine? Pretty interesting stuff. I hate physics, I only like the stuff that challenges the current scientific paradigm. Anyway, the author showed this this problem using pool balls: If you shot a pool ball into your time-wormhole, what if it came out in the past just in time to knock itself out of place, causing itself to never enter the wormwhole in the first place? In that case, the existance of the "second" ball doesn't make any sense. The author holds that the situation would still have to adhere to the rules of logic, so somehow, the "second" ball would wind up knocking the "first" ball into the wormhole. Well, it makes no sense to me, but I figure you have to end up with one of two outcomes: either you get infinite energy, or a real nifty way to get a whole bunch of pool balls.

It's gettin' chilly...

Well, I have no idea what's it's like right now in the rest of that big ol' world of ours, but here in Manitoba, it's starting to cool down a bit. That can only mean one thing. Halloween is just around the corner. I can hardly contain my excitement. Not much longer that one month from now, I'll be at Wallmart stocking up on the cheapest candy the world of bulk food has ever seen. The only thing better than Halloween, from a bachelor's perspective, a perspective of which I am a long-term advocate, is when they start selling Kinder Surprise eggs for 25 cents after Easter. I think they should start selling red and white Twinkies so I can have something to stock up on for Canada Day.

Pondering...

Postmodernism is fine and all. But... isn't "there are no absolutes" an absolute? And wouldn't you have to use logic to come up with "you can't come up with anything definite using logic"? What I need is coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Everything will be much clearer after that, I'm sure.
