Back

I have recently come across the realization that self-pity is one of my least favorite things. This is a message to all those who are so convinced their life sucks that they don't even try to make things better. Quit being so pathetic, stop wallowing in that mud pit that is known as self-pity and do something. If you have no life, make one up, live the life of a prince inside your brain. DON' under-estimate the power you have up there. If you can't pull yourself out of the hole, even with the help of friends family and performancing enhancing drugs, maybe you should die. Donate your organs to someone who will appreciate all the work they are doing. As someone who lives on earth, one of my main concerns in 2005 is that we are getting in the way of natural selection. This is paving the way for disease, overpopulation, poverty and slowing down our evolution. It could be a mistake to think that just because someone is alive, they deserve to reproduce. We are molded to think that every death is an avoidable tragedy. Zoom out a bit, don't take yourself so seriously and enjoy.

Here is a parable or something:
There was once a bucket made of ultramafic rock. It was empty. This was the beginning. Over time it filled with water. Sometimes the water froze. Sometimes it overflowed. Sometimes it dried up. Most of the time the amount of water was fairly constant. Eventually, a fancy monkey found it. He started tilting the bucket and drinking from it. As he grew smarter, he starting tilting the bucket further and storing it's magic in tanks. Eventually it feel over. Chaos ensued.

Near-life experiences

Those of you familiar with fight club might remember the part where Mr. Duerden talks about near-life experiences. I am here to elaborate this idea, and to explain in detail what I think constitutes a near-life experience.
Most people spend their life in a daze. By a daze i mean not feeling the power of 100000000 nerve endings screaming at you. This only happens in situations where the body is pumping a lot of adrenalin into the blood stream. Medical dictionaries might tell you that adrenalin is revealed to your bloodstream only in times of fear, panic and emergency.

All I really have to say, is my favorite moments in life are these. Whether it's clinging to a rock face with just my fingers or the adrenalin that comes with writting a really hard exam it'll be my drug of choice when i attempt to experience life at it's fullest.

Quote of the post

"Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ''the rat race'' is not yet final."

Plasma TV Blues

Disclaimer: Drugs are Bad, Tv is worse
Why is it that 80% of the jokes people tell are directly from a tv program. Many people have no concept of humour besides what is shown to them on T.V. I realize that Family Guy is very funny and that simpsons makes stupid people feel smarter, but i am getting sick of these goddamn jokes being overused to the point where they start feeling like Courtney Love. In 2005, you stand a better chance of picking up a chick if you know a lot of jokes straight from tv, than if you had invented your own jokes. We have reached a new low. My suggestions is to blow up your tv, and find humour in the world around you. That black box is stifling creativity, which is one of the great achievements of evolution/creation/intelligent design.

fuck the tv...yah fuck it

more to come, just didn't want to forget this idea,

Studying

Recent studies have shown that people who have exceptional study habits are generally less creative, and generally suck at life. Industry experts have theorized that improvising at least 25% of the questions on any exam will dramatically improve ones chances of success at life in general. Apparently, in real life, you do not always have ample time to memorize every subtle nuance of the subject matter that is posing a challenge to you.

Figure 1: Relationship between study habits and ability at life. Notice the peak around 5, and the fact that having study habits between 3 and 7 makes you cool. Remember these are all logarithmic scales.

"Cramming", also known as injecting massive amounts of information into short term memory, is one of the best workouts for the core brain muscles. It forces the brain to come up with more creative algorithms which pack information more efficiently into the "cerebrum". These theories are easily expandable into other aspects of an average human’s life. For example, those who study way too much have a harder time interacting socially with friends, because this forces their brain to use the “freestyle neurons” which are inactive for long periods of time while studying. In conclusion, great philosophers have said

There once was a man from the earth

Whose studying habits had great girth

He read lots of books

Lost all of his looks

Then lost his chance at rebirth

Disclaimer: The previous study was performed by the author on himself. The poem is a limerick and might have a hidden message. ***HINT*** be flexible with your definition of "rebirth"

irony : failing an exam because you spent way too much time writing an article that encourages people not to study

best thing i said all day

"honesty is shitty, but sometimes it's necessary"

-HAHA

does the probability of everything go to 1 given infinite time

The important chunks of this post are contained in the title, just a quick question to all the math guru's, gods, philosophers or anyone else closely affiliated with infinity. Here i re-iterate "will everything happen given infinite time". I say yes. The real question here is "does infinite time imply infinite length and width etc..." I am not sure. Please enlighten me.

First poem in 7 years

i am normally terrified of poetry, but the idea of a pseudo-haiku (thanks katelyn) is too good to resist

the fact
that everybody sucks
doesn't ensure the wind will blow

there are 3 reasons this pseudo-haiku is awesome/life-altering
1) it's cheeky AND snotty
2) it exploits the ambiguity of the word "suck"
3) it resolves the classic "man vs. nature" conflict

p.s. for those who don't understand the concept of a pseudo-haiku, it's a haiku without borders, a poem with the soul of a haiku but an arbitrary body
