It seems that when it rains it pours. My spirits are still high, but I am now accustomed to things just not working out. I am looking forward to the time when all of this is over, but I am also trying to learn any new things I can get away with from this situation. Here is a summary of some of the things I learned, in brain dump fashion. Ready, GO!
- I have been watching Big Think(on Youtube) and found out:
- There are multiple infinities. Who knew?
- Numbers can be big. According to the Brits, like stupid big.
- Education is the answer to most of our issues. An educated voting populace will do less harm than an ignorant one, according to Henry Rollins.
- One can make their dreams come true with only a high school education, but it is frakkin' hard. Editor's note: I already knew this one.
- Nearly all of our current technological advancements game from theoretical physics and the space program, at least according to the theoretical physicists and NASA.
- Isaac Newton created Calculus at age 26 because he didn't have the right equations to figure out the things he wanted to figure out.
- Don't bitch about Calculus being hard to learn. Try creating it from scratch. Then you can bitch. Editor's note: This is more of a personal observation
- I watched the entire Alphas series up to date. I like it. Better than Heroes. I want more. I was sick for two days this week on my ass and watched it all.
- I get a lot more done listening to soundtracks with no words than I do watching TV or listening to music with words.
- Things in my house were waiting for me to have no money to break. OK, just my favorite chair. And I am pissed about it.
- Also, the best Kickstarters and new things I want on Thinkgeek had to just pop up while I am broke. FUCK!
- I have a non-standard faucet head and I had to buy the wrong side water filter to find out. Editor's note: Use the Pur brand. It has like a thousand adapters. Ok, well, maybe 4. But it works!
- I don't like it quiet. Editor's note: I am listening to the Skyrim soundtrack as I write this.
- I can't pee when Law Enforcement is present, even though it feels like I need to pee. I had to try twice. Editor's note: Don't ask.
- I am absolutely terrified of driving. Still.
- I edit the shit out of things I write and still can't find all of my mistakes. This one you are reading is take 7.
- I really don't like being out of work. I feel like I have no purpose.
- I fucking hate Ramen noodles. Editor's note: I was homeless once and had to eat them because it was all I could afford. I blamed it on the Ramen, so I could forget about it.
- Some days are much, much, harder than others. This one was OK, except for having to pee in front of Law Enforcement. Editor's note: Srsly, don't ask.
- I like to write, but I have an attention issue. So, you are lucky if you are reading this at all, as it means I got past both my ADD and my incessant need to edit.
- I am pretty sure Bill Burr and I would really like hanging out together. He is so cynical and sarcastic, I am certain we would get along. Editor's note: I am pretty sure some of you will hate him. I don't care.
- I have an editor in my head, constantly telling me where I fail. Editor's note: Stop talking about me. You're such an idiot.
- I find things to do to avoid working on my house. Like watching TV, or re-arranging papers. Or writing blogs.
