| I just finished up doing one of those unabashedly wierd "Parker Adey" sort of things. I've been on a really strong I Ching binge these past couple days, and I just got back from meeting up with someone I'd only met once before to harvest some of her yarrow plants. Am I the only seventeen year old male who is interested in collecting garden weeds for the purpose of philosophical enlightenment? | ||

| I spent most of my day chilling at the library. I was there from ~10:00 until 16:00~17:00. Good times were had by all. I read a lot of The Music of Primes by Marcus du Sautoy. I wasn't terribly interested in it to begin with, I had only picked it up to check my answers to a question, but in the end I was kinda hooked because I think I might actually understand the Reimann Hypothesis. du Sautoy's watering down of mathematical terminology was a little tough to stomach but I suppose he had to sacrafice some techincal stuff to get broader readership. I got a look at Gamma: Exploring Euler's Constant by Julian Havil aswell, Gamma looks like a much better book to keep sharp with, it's much more technical. I'll probably bite into it when Madi and I get hom from Peterborough. Oh yea, Madi and I are heading out tommorow morning to go University-ing. Sweet! | ||

 So I just got out of highschool, with marks a little higher than I thought. All in all, it was a good time - but I think my year book quote sums it up the best. Estragon/Vladimir: Well, shall we go? Vladimir/Estragon: Yes, let's go. They do not move. Now I'll be moving a long way away to go learn many great and interesting things. |

I just got a shiny 'new' set of Harvard Classics. They're from 1909; Ninety-seven years young I suppose. Anyway, totally beutiful collection which I look forward to gormandizing this summer. They've found a new home in my window frame and they help block out all unwanted light. ( Pictures. ) |

| I say it alot, I know, but I am getting really tired of my own inefficiencies. I can't stand they way I procrastinate, the way I put things off. I don't know why I haven't changed yet. Maybe I blame myself too much - Or maybe not enough. My parents raised me, they must have had some influence on me, but I could be just rationalizing away my own short comings. It's getting a late... So I'm cutting this rant off. I'll explain tommorow when I awake. | ||

| I've come to avoid my step father like the plague. I just woke up, and when I went to grab some food he gave me this really mean and snarly good morning, like I'd started pissing him off already. I lost my appetite so fast... So instead of breakfest I'm having the a couple caffiene pills, a multivitamin, and carbonated diet pomegranate juice, with a side order of Vivaldi. I fucking rock. | ||||||

They've left me at work without anything to do, egad! I did four hours work in an hour and a half; shoot me now! Here is the Dada-ist poem that came out of my cleaning the keyboard. ( Read more... ) Read it bitches. |

The trouble with integers is that we have examined only the very small ones. Maybe all the exciting stuff happens at really big numbers, ones we can't even begin to think about in any very definite way. Our brains have evolved to get us out of the rain, find where the berries are, and keep us from getting killed. Our brains did not evolve to help us grasp really large numbers or to look at things in a hundred thousand dimensions. ~Ronald L. Graham The mathematics are usually considered as being the very antipodes of Poesy. Yet Mathesis and Poesy are of the closest kindred, for they are both works of the imagination. ~Thomas Hill The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that.... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E) temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed.... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving...shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C. ~From Applied Optics, vol. 11, A14, 1972 |

I just walked with Ghani, the school psychology, he's a pretty relaxed dude and I really enjoy his company. Ghani is pretty smart and insightful, and he has a very interesting point of view as he is a Nigerian, and can often put a different spin on things. His ideas were pretty shocking but I think they make sense, he told me:

The English exam just came off in the way that knife fights often do... Completely fucked it up, my time was predominately spent recopying that filth which I had already excreted up onto the page... It was pretty vilifying. Now I am skipping drama, and losing marks, and sanity! |

*big yawn* Ready for bed I suppose. I'm all tuckered out from a day of doing nothing in particular... I feel pseudo prepared for English; that isn't to say I've stopped pulling my hair out of my head or anything... But I feel pseudo prepared. I'm gunna crash now... G'night internet people. |

| I just hopped on the bus with this female. I refrain from calling her a woman, or a girl, or a bitch because of her somewhat strange poltical views. She was shooting off to her friends about how much she hates male sex offenders, and how if a man hurts a woman that pisses her off. She said she can deal with murderers, thieves, and tax evaders, but men who hurt women piss her off. I think one of her friends caught her on this one-sidedness and remarked about women who hurt men. She replied by saying "Well if she's got a good reason...." | ||||

I really don't know what's going on in my life anymore. I've kinda given up trying to piece things together. Everything simply seems to have spiralled out of hand I suppose; I can't control any of it. KC keeps telling me that I only play by my rules and that I'm disrespectful of authority etc. knowing what I know now about the way I act... I really have to agree. For example, right now I am skipping out of class, writing an entry on my laptop, when my physics class is right outside the auditorium doors. The lights are off and I'm listening to The Riderless. Why am I doing this? Well I'm not sure, I'm hiding from the substitute teacher, and indulging myself at the same time. I'm not doing out it out of some wierd machivellian badassness or anything. I hope no one minds. This sort of self fufillling prophecy shit really bugs me. I'm also having the same paranoia/memory loss issues as before. When I got to school (late of course) I couldn't remember the day, and I thought it was Wednesday Day X Period 2. I remembered yesterday was Day 1, thus today must be Day 2, and I went to look at my Period 2 class. Well it wasn't my Period 2 class at all, there were a bunch of Grade 10s in the class. Mrs. Bloomfield just looked at me funny and I ran out. I checked my other possible classes, Drama, French, etc... Wasn't any of them either... I was flipping out. I sat down and read some of the this GNU guide I downloaded of the LDP, brilliant stuff. GNU is deep-voodoo when seen through the eyes of an ex-Windows-user. The step up is massive, and the learning curve is so rewarding. Every little secret I discover leaves me in awe... Wow that was ridiculous. My apologies. Anyway, I simply look forward to seeing Madi this afternoon, and maybe chowing down on some Pad-Thai. Am I pathetic for that? Why is Period 1 an hour and a half long on a late start day? |
