Chopsticks

Today was Christmas eve. So, naturally, us not being french Canadian and all, we had one of my favorite adopted traditions: "Le bouche de nöel". My sister decided to pull something a little silly and eat her cake with her "white man chopsticks", two thin flat strips of bamboo joined at top to create a sort of pincer. I scoffed at her, so she challenged me to eat mine with actual chopsticks. So I accepted her challenge and set to my task. To my great surprise, I was able to use my chopsticks successfully,  even easily. My sister, Still not impressed, challenged me to use actual chopsticks any time she used her white man chopsticks, so that we could see who would last longer. It's so on.

Keeping records

My blog is less of a blog, I realized recently, than a kind of electronic journal that anyone can read. Most people, however, aren't probably that interested in what I have to say, though. A collection of all the little interesting things in my life amounts to little more than a long and extended list of things that would make for prime material for Facebook statuses. And, although my posts are witty on occasion, more often than not they are really of most value only to me. So I'm going to start to keep track more of the interesting thoughts that pop into my head. Like hair- what is it, really? Just kind of dead strands of cells that are hanging on to your head. Yet somehow we humans find it a point of attraction...

An appologie

To anyone who actually reads my blog:

I am sorry about the post about Shakespeare- I just put that there because my foolish English teacher assigned a fill-in-the-blanks trivia sheet- the catch? everything we wrote we had to cite sources for. So, being the naturally lazy person I am, I found a workaround from citing Wikipedia on hundred and twenty times- find all the answers, publish them on my blog, and cite my blog.

So, I am sorry.
But not really... :)

The theory of reconfirming nonexistence

How did the universe happen? well, we can assume that at the beginning of the universe, there was one of two things.
A) Matter
B) Void
If the entire universe, at this point is one of these two options, we must assume that there is also the other element; If one had void without matter, matter would be created, to reconfirm the non-existence of void, for if all was nothing, nothing could not be identified as nothing, but as everything, thus denying it's very existence. If the entire universe where matter, It would mean that infinity was filled; however, one can never fill infinity; thus, no mater how fast matter expanded, void would be created.

And so we see that the universe must BE.

Let me know in the comments what you think.

Mornings

mornings are better when they include sleeping. But getting up is all right if you have a nice warm mug of caf-lib and a thick hoodie.

Photography

Last week I was on a little trip, and, while the rest of my family talked, I took some pictures.

10579 Diluca

10579 Diluca is a main-belt asteroid. It, like most other rather insignificant asteroids, is mainly just rocks and metal in a pile of rubble, held together loosely by gravity. It may be up to half empty space by volume. however, it, like many other asteroids, may contain trace amounts of amino-acids and other organic compounds  of unknown origin. Although seemingly insignificant, if it where to crash onto the right planet under the right conditions, It could spark life.

it's fascinating what the little things can do.

Disenthrall

is to loosen or unbind a subject.
Like if the United States where to Disenthrall itself from deficit.
Although that is more of quixotic thought.

Which came first- the nickel or the dime?

the nickel. The end.

Just though you might want to see it, not that I have been searching for the answer to the above question for like, and hour, and have discovered that Canada has used over 100 different coins in it's short history as well as a number of bank notes, tokens, beaver skins, and even playing cards for money!! Exactly!! It's all pretty ridiculous.

Dubstep

Well, two days ago I kinda discovered two new things, things that I have very quickly grown to love: dubstep and soundcloud.com.

Toast

Is a great, highly underrated food. you can create true masterpieces with the marriage of toast and rosemary. Also, bacon on toast is wonderful. Toast makes up that great "oh, I'm kinda hungry but also halfway through a level" food. then you pause, and a little guy in you head pops up going

"Never fear! (Toast man, bottom) is here!!"

That's the way toast rolls.

Achievement craft

Why is getting an achievement in video games so compelling? Is it that sense that "oh, shiny, I got something" or do we have some other drive that makes us want to accomplish seemingly meaningless tasks? yes, I could file my tax returns or I could beat fallout three on hardcore mode and earn fifty gamerscore, both witch take approximately the same amount of time.Why do I always chose the one that gives me a leading fifty points and barging rights among my friends? Is it that I see no real progress available to me from doing something real, when really this is the only thing that can offer me real progress? It's a mind bending question. So you know what I think? They should hand out achievements for doing your tax returns.

I must profusely apologize.

I haven't posted in about a month. My life has kinda been busy... but whatever. Also, I think I may be splitting my blog into a more videogames and music oriented blog and a more fact and irrelevance oriented blog. that's this one. However, this probably won't be happening for a while, so I will probably post two posts every time I post- one for vg's, one for other.

Milk (still)

One of my readers really dislikes milk. So I decided: why not post about milk?
Anyways, I find milk to be very useful. I mean, you use it in cookies, milkshakes, blizzards, cheese, etc. so I think that we should all support natural no-drugs milk. From happy cows.

Support happy cows.
Because not many people do.

Expostulate

To have sincerer discourse, to express caring or concern for someone.

Well,

Traffic is down again. I have had less than 17 pageveiws in over a month. I'm almost thinking that now is the time to sort of phase out my blog. Oh well. I'm far to lazy. I don't suppose I have any regular readers reading this, do I? You can expect the same (Totally irrelevant) posts as normal... I'm just gonna keep trying. Maybe.

"Spicy"

Is the amount of capsaicin in a food.Capsaicin is the chemical compound that makes things spicy. Now, the reason i bring this up is because Be for the event I am about to describe, I had about 0 capsaicin tolerance. Now I realize my tolerance, albeit not high, is enough that I make food too spicy for many people. so if you want to gain a higher "spicy' tolerance, do this to yourself:

It was your average field trip. I was just going to a band festival for the day. You know. The works. But, the catch is, I have no lunch. un-hun. all i have is five packages of chili powder- you know, the kind you get in ichi ban soups. I think you can guess the rest. five. Two hours. nothing else. At all.

Techno music

Can be made by anyone. So, just today, I was looking at some free Synthesizer software. It's pretty interesting, since, if you think about it, probably most dj's and stuff started out here. Also, i was interested in making a techno song? maybe?

Well, turns out that is all really confusing. But I'll keep trying.

Japan earthquake

I was doin' a bit of looking around about the earthquake, and I fond this quote:
"I was swimming my afternoon laps in the pool on the ground floor of the Izumi Garden Tower (same building as the poster above). My fellow swimmers and I were sloshed around like rubber duckies in a bathtub."


This guy is a champ.

Anybody remember defenestration?

Well, it was one of my earlier posts. So, For anyone who is actually interested in words, here you go:

Exactly. Defenestration was #1 on Merriam-Webster's list people's top ten favorite words. They also have all sorts of great videos with facts about words... Like the plural for octopus. Did you know that octopuses, octopi, and octopodes are all valid plurals of octopus? exactly! learn more at the website listed above.

Don't you hate it when

An issue of a magazine comes late? or you're reading a book series and someone has the next book in the series out of the library? Or you forget to save something and the Farhad opens 94 internet explorer windows at the same time on your design studies computer? (okay, maybe that's just me, but...) you know? Yes, you do. But then, I was thinking, maybe I hate to much. maybe I should list stuff I love. Oh well... another time, another post.

"Soon"

Is a frustrating word. you can never tell when it is, and everybody's perception of soon is different. Like, for example, "soon" is when the Legend of Zelda Skyward sword is due out; "soon" is when I get my meal at a restaurant. exactly. Using the same word, you can describe periods that take only seconds to month long waits.

*Sigh*

Cold weather

does not lend itself well to boffo. If you have no idea what that is, imagine a lot of foam coated PVC tube then wrapped in duct tape, swung like a sword. exactly. Anyways, Duct tape, it would seem, does not appreciate the combination of high speed impact and cold weather, because after about a half hour of boffering, it had all disenthralled itself from the foam. the second we where back in the house, however, it re-stuck itself. full of wrinkles. Story of my life.

To Ululate

Is to bark, howl, or wail with great passion. Try saying it, much less actually ululating, without someone looking at you like you just ate a green speckled toad.

Demagogue

A leader or ruler that obtains power by appealing to the emotions or prejudice of the majority of the populace of a country.

Tonkas

Are hardcore! Alright, admit it, you all loved them at one time or another. they appeal especially to children because they are big and yellow and undisputedly cool. Every small boy between the age of 2 and 5 wants to operate heavy-duty construction equipment. They know this and are proud of it. The true physiological appeal of these toys are that, as a small child, the desire to become part of something bigger and more powerful than ourselves is particularly acute as we are:
A) small
B) Often ignored or passed over, our opinions not valued
so we aspire to become part of something that is definitely
A) BIG.
B) respected and valued (if a bulldozer was charging you and you where a Lego man, wouldn't you move, too?)
So that is why most small children are innately attracted to Tonka trucks.
Most people probably don't give a flying bulldozer.

Julian Smith

is a youtube star. He has some pretty funny videos (search on youtube, adurpdurpdurp) like Malk or Racist coffee or Hot cool-aid. You might want to check out every single other video by him, too. Their good. He writes the songs he sings (and the songs his buddy sings, too) as well as doing all of his own camera work. And, on a tangent, about doing your own camera work, theses guys do all sorts of tutorials on how to do your own professional grade camera work: http://www.youtube.com/user/CorridorDigital
Anyways, on the tangent of youtube, I like it. It's full of all sorts of fun stuff, bro. So if you find anything good, send it to me in the comments.

Milk: sustinance

Alrighty. Been a while since I posted about milk, yes? well, thats probably because this is the first time I've posted just after breakfast for quite a while as well. So, anyways, i was thinking. about milk. And it's many uses. Yes, of course you can just drink it, but you can also use it to bake cakes (in minecraft too!) biscuits or pie shells or all sorts of other wonderful things! You can obtain both cheese and butter from milk, which both have plenty of uses. But why, we should ask, has the milk of other animals become such a prevalent part of our diet? Well, after several late-night CBC talk shows worth of research,  I believe I have come to a conclusion. Let me start at the beginning: When man was a lone hunter-gatherer, roaming the wild, his primary sources of food where meat and berries/fruits. Each fulfilled an essential to a healthy diet: meat gave fats and proteins, wile the fruits and berries provided sugars. Early hunter-gatherers had little to no carbohydrates in their diets. They exercised a lot and ate quite lean, nothing like the amount of sugars and meat we eat today. on top of that, all of their meat was grass-fed, containing greater amounts of protein and less fat. With this good balance of proteins, fats ( yes. you DO need fats to be healthy) sugars, and exercise, hunter-gatherers where healthy people. then came along agriculture. now, this provided stability and the roots for civilization, but also less than enough fats and proteins and to many carbohydrates and sugars. since we are not cows, digesting the proteins contained in grains is next to impossible, since they are coated in cellulose. So agriculturalists had several options:

A) keep hunts to supplement their food with occasional meat
B) Domesticate beasts for slaughter
C) Domesticate Animals to obtain eggs and milk, the two main edible animal by-products

So this is what they did. they obtained exercise by tilling their fields and all of their nutriments though milk [And some other foods, like pie :)  ] to create a balanced and sustainable lifestyle that would last millennial. Then McDonald's came along and ruined all that. Oh well. the moral of the story is: Drink milk. Do exercises. Live healthy.

Justin Beiber

is a tool. But that aside, he has really made me gain a new appreciation for exactly how cold it is outside of a dance when you flee his horrible voice.

See-through life forms

Have always amazed me. To me, it is incredible (and entertaining) that a living thing should be clear. I mean, its like, craziness! imagine going to the doctor, and having him look through your chest and tell you exactly what's wrong with you? Neat! You make a better window than a door. The one problem is that most of these species reside deep underwater, and we know little about them. in fact, scientist estimate that human research has only discovered ten percent of oceanic species, and we have knowledge of about 230,000 species! that's a lot of different fishies. (Yes, it's spelled wrong.) So, while I am writing this, I am researching marine biology in other tabs, and I've found some pretty cool stuff!

Okay. so this fish isn't see-through. but it's pretty neat.

You can see its brain. Oh yeah. That's ludicrous. Its brain.

Now, this is just downright cool.
So, have you noticed? pretty much all of the coolest animals ever are... fish. we know so little about them, and the ones that are newly discovered are more and more interesting. did you know that scientists recently discovered a eel-like thing that is part animal, part plant? Like, it had plant cells in it. It's some sort of sea slug, called Elysia Chlorotica. craz-i-ness.Anyways, i have sort of a recently blooming ( like today kind of recently) interest in marine biology. So maybe I'll post some more about it...

Lumas

Are cute, squishy, soft small (mostly) floating star-people that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm posting this mostly since my last post was about Waltz for Luma, and some of you might be wondering what in Mario a Luma is, but also since somebody told me that my blog is enriched superbly when I ad an occasional image, so I thought that I would add an image of a Luma.

So these are Lumas. So cute! so squishy! Don't you wish you could hug one? Yes. You do. The only, erm... well... strange thing about Lumas is the exploding Lumas. Well...  I'll let you see for yourself.


                                  *TRANS-FORM!!!*
yeah. um. so. Awkward. sorry. you probably didn't want to see that... i told you, the hungry Lumas are... Strange.

Waltz For Luma

Is a blog that people actually care about- some people, at least. the girl who does Waltz for Luma publishes sheet music from videogames. And other things. Like classical music, or stuff. It's mostly pretty challenging, and if you play music, don't wave it off in a generalized "bad music" group- Millions of dollars are spent to develop good soundtracks, and not in vain. the music is lovely. you can find the home page at: http://aivitran.blogspot.com/. My personal favorites include Mario and Zelda, But she also composes original pieces and has music from practically any Nintendo game- you name it, she's got it. If your just interested in listening, she has all sorts of tracks, to. Fun stuff.

Snow

Falls form the sky, right? Wrong. Ever since somebody broke the weather (insert least favorite politician involved negatively in climate change debate here) It stays volatile enough that it's more likely for it to rain then freeze into slippery ice than to fall as snow like it's supposed to. Even if it doesn't precipitate at all, then the warm, unpleasant, slushy weather that skips along above zero will melt the snow during the day, and then the normal, sub-zero night time temperatures will freeze the water into slippery ice. yay. The abnormal warmth of the day makes for slush and puddles, a kind of elongated, unpleasant springtime. The big thaw is never fun, but if it thaws every day and freezes every night? horrible. Just awful. And people have the gall to say that people in northerly climes Like climate change? I am sorry, but anything that shortens my sledding/skating  season and drops puddles the size of my house's footprint at every bend is not good in any way by me.

One star

sounds like "one time" by justin bebeir, doesn't it? well, it has nothing to do with that annoying child. The reason I'm posting about one star is that I play Mario games, see? And in a Mario game, you go through a variety of challenges to collect stars. Except for most of them, which are two-d. So anyways, I was playing my Mario game, ladydadyda, when i realized that I only had one challenge left to entirely finish the game. like, 240 stars finish. Gold crown finish. 100% finish. And the reason this was really exiting is that I had recently finished the game that comes before that, Super Mario Galaxy, and gotten 100% on it. so, now I'm about to get Super Mario Galaxy 2 at 100%.  Exiting. so I go looking for this last star, and this is what I find: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvueFef3Nc
(actual, this is a video of someone else going it, just so you get the idea.)
It's not as easy as it looks. I tried like twenty times before my mom made me go to bed, and It's rad-dic-a-lous.
seriously.

This is a star, officially called a power star. Green stars do appear in number one, but in number two they are an extra challenge for after you have beaten the game normally.

Being Sick

Is a bit of a problem, since your body wants rest and the rest of the world still wants you to keep on working without a single penny lost in lost efficiency. You could take a day off, but that would require you to do some makeup work for the day you missed- and more often then not, making up for lost time is harder than being their in the first place. Thus, you will probably go to work or school telling yourself that your not really sick and that it will pass quickly. Then, because you're exerting yourself to much, a slight cough that should be gone in a few days persists for weeks, making you ever more miserable and more venerable to infection from other common sicknesses floating around in place with lots of people (chances are your not the only one sick) like the stomach flu. repeat cycle.

Boffers

are basically violent, bloody medieval weapons turned foam. they are composed of a core (usually PVC tube, since it's the cheapest, but graphite is used too) and a wrap of foam around them. The foam layer around the Boffer differs according to intended use; if you're going for full on hits, that may require several layers of padding,  maybe an inch and a half, as well as a cloth wrapping to reduce the chance of welts- but if you're just wanting to have a duel with your friends, a PVC tube with pipe insulation or a pool noddle around it should do fine. Boffering is pretty much a fun workout that allows you to get out your combative rage without actually hurting anyone. If you are interested in Boffers and want to find out more, click here.
if you are interested in making Boffers, click here.
Have fun bashing your buddies.

Minecraft

is a game. A survival game. A hardcore survival game. It's hard on easy mode. that's right. I love it. I should really start at the beginning, though: if you like video games, read on, if you dislike or don't care for video games, why are you reading my blog? (beats me, since half the stuff I talk about is videogames and the other half is milk. you must really like milk. even more than me. [see "milk fetish"]) Anyways, I was starting at the beginning. alright, lets go.

"Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens," is the world of minecraft in the words of notch, minecraft's secretive creator. In minecraft, well, your avatar (who is a guy in a blue shirt, always) spawns in a randomly generated world that will continue to generate randomly as you explore. (if you want more on random generation check here.) you have nothing, and unless you have checked out some tutorials or played minecraft  in the past, no idea how to move, much less open your inventory. after about five deaths, you'll have it all figured out. It's a great very open game-(when I say open, I mean open. some guy made a 1:1 scale model of the starship Enterprise. it was HUGE.) it's literally what you make of it. you should be playing minecraft. If your still confused, watch the below video. if you aren't confused, watch it anyways. it's cool.

Here is a link to http://www.minecraft.net/ and http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki can be helpful if you've started playing.

Smileyfaces

Have you ever wanted to give one of your smiley faces a beard? have you ever wondered why not? I sure have. don't ask me why. but I always have.

Novels

Ever tried to write a novel in your spare time? It's harder than you might think. You discover that you don't have as much spare time as you thought you did... Then you get caught up doing all sorts of things, or you get that block, or something, and you can't seem to make it past that one point in your story. ever. so frustrating. You end up with this whole section that really goes nowhere... its really frustrating. unless, that is, you're a super prodigy with writing or sumthin like that.

Music

I love music. In fact, I love it so much that I am going to share some of my personal favorites with you. Ain't I nice.

For the most part, I enjoy classical music- Beethoven, Bach, Handel, etc. you can find a lovely collection of classical titles for live streaming at the EPL website, (http://www.epl.ca/licensed-databases/naxos-music-library-listen-online) at the online database, naxos music library. You will need a library card (who'da thunk?- Actually, I should add here, since a portion of my readership is in the sates, that you would need an Edmonton library card. You can just search Naxos in Google then sing up with them to get the same results.) to access the database. One of my favorites is the planets (enter that in the search bar). I especially enjoy the Jupiter movement. I also love some of the beautiful music from video games- Click here for a link to a wonderfully sad Zelda song. Here are some other links to music I enjoy:

1. Super Mario 64
2. Yoshi's Story
3. Up

I'll probably post more, later.

Dancing

Is harder than you might imagine. You're bouncin' around and bumpin' up and down, having all the sugar drained out of you. you're thirsty, but the good song is on and you're having to much fun to leave and get a drink. And then a slow song comes over. Now, don't get me wrong, I like slow songs, but asking a girl to dance requires confidence. Now, all you old people out their, who don't do this kind of thing anymore, don't you dare go "back in my day we..." because I know that that's ridiculous. You where afraid to ask girls to dance too. Now, for all the girls out their, let me give you a rundown of why it's hard to ask you to dance.

you look around for someone to dance with. You're too embarased to move right away, but you don't want to ask a girl you've been standing around by for a while because you'll look dumb. You also start to worry about asking anyone who was looking at you while you danced during the fast dance because if they where looking at you they probably think you're weired and don't want to dance with you. Now it's a quarter of the way into the dance and you're panicing. Around now, two things can happen.

A) You Man up and make your move

B)You don't.

If you don't, you sit on the sidelines with an increasing feeling of sick guiltyness for the enire dance because you have failed your manly duty to ask a girl to dance.
If you do, You get to know somone new and interesting and/or get to know someone you knew already better.
The biggest worry is that because since you are a generaly unatractive and sigtly carazy persone with no friends, no one will actualy want to dance with you, but they will out of pity.

I tell you, It's hard.

Milk: the grandeur, a stellar substance

The milky way: our galaxy, part of the vigor super cluster, a shining point in the sky, and all of it's estimated 200 billion stars, all of it named after milk. gotta love it. I mean, if the aincients where able to see milk for what it trully is, we should be able to as well. Milk is a cosmic, stelar substance.

Fanboyism

Fanboyism has been around since the dawn of time. It is the syndrome wherewith an individual or group of individuals feels loyalty to a certain object, product or service. In a capitalist environment, fanboyism will become  dangerously prominent because of the large increase in products and services. A fanboy will fight to protect his "side" usually verbally, but occasionally physically, against any insult.Fanboys will consistently critic other "contesting" things and defend their own under any circumstances. It is next to impossible to convince a fanboy of his/her error (if he/she is fighting a losing battle) because:

• Any critic of his the object of his fanboyism will enrage them, even if it is reasonable;
• His/her anger will blind him/her to reason;
• Fanboys will continually dispute facts and logical arguments;
• Fanboys will repeatedly state the same simplistic and/or already disproved arguments and evidences relentlessly (trolling).

But what, we must ask ourselves, Is the purpose of fanboyism? Let us take video games as an example, seeing as they are the fanboyist domain I know the most about. You have your X-Box junkies, your Nintendo nerds, your PC "legits" (or whatever they call themselves now) and your PlayStation poppers. None of these groups are gamers. they are "consolers". They will play one console and one console only, which rather defeats the purpose of gaming. the whole idea of video-games is to have fun playing any console, not to waste your life yelling at people because they don't worship your system. I play the system that has the games I want to play, not the hardware I want to play them on. I will pick up any game controller happily- (that is, unless the game disagrees with me.) It isn't  "fun" to treat one console like a deity and all others like a- well. You know. Dirty thing. I'll let you imagine. The moral of the story is if you can't be nice, shut up. your thing isn't always better. In fact, pretty much everything has disadvantages. Suck it up.

Super Mario Galaxy: soundtrack

In my video bar I have a link to some super Mario galaxy music- A great soundtrack. If you go onto  y-tube, you can search for the soundtrack. If you're to lazy, Click here. That link should take you to a playlist of all the awesome music in that game. It is simply so evoking, so emotional, I could listen to it for hours.

the Mario series is just so classic, so beautiful. No matter how many blazin' machine guns black ops. packs, it will never compare.Sorry, fanboys.

Pressure

Is probably not what I think it is, but it may be. In physics, they tell us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Theoretically, energy in = energy out. So why, may I ask you, is the earth's center hot? Their is no combustion to heat it. Pressure is what heats the earth's center, making it give off thermal energy, with no end in sight. Probably indefinitely, or until earth is destroyed in one way or another. So, if we can harvest the earth's natural heat, we would have a near-indefinite source of energy. Right? Maybe I'm wrong, though.But if I am, I want one heck of a good explanation.

Milk in cereal

who thought of putting milk in cereal? If you can answer that, please do. I mean, you have these little pencil shavings, and then you have milk. in what way do they go together? I have always been confused on this point. Any further insights into this would be most appreciated.

Castellation

the building of castles; the furnishing of a house with battlements; building of a fortified or castellated structure. Just try to use that in conversation. Their. You learned something.

koji kondo

Is insanely talented. He is my role model. He probably should be yours, to.

Early morning band practice

Question: have you ever tried to play a trombone at 8 o'clock in the morning? Did't think so. And if you are smart and lucky, you may never have to. But let me tell you some things about "Early morning band practice". You get into the school and it is empty and cold. then you get into the band room, and knock over a couple of stands because you're still bleary. You open up your case, pick up you're bell the drop it again since it's freezing. After a couple of minuets, the band has started to assemble- Playing all sorts of horrid sounding warm up notes to try to reach some reasonable level of intuneation. Your tone is twisted and flat, and you can barley get the air to flow through. Songs that are normaly easy for the band sound like a chorus of yetis singing out of time. The only good thing about early morning band is that it makes for excellent conversation- everyone is tired and saying really ridiculous things.

Can't stop dancin'

On Friday, I went to a dance. Had a blast. But about half way through the dance, a song came on that made me ask myself why we, as humans, love dance and music. Logically, it is just a waste of energy, flailing around to a beat, making us more venerable to predators. Now it's become this big philosophical question for me, right? So here I am, dancing, and trying unsuccessfully to figure out why in the world I would (Logically) want to be dancing. That's when I realized that I was over thinking it. And that's about when I stopped thinking a bout it. a couple of moments later, I was having fun again.

Milk fetish

So I have a fetish with milk. So what? Milk is good for you. It tastes good. It has all sorts of vitamins and nutrients in it, plus it comes from cow. which makes it cool right away. Because cows are cool. Oh yeah. Admit it- you love cows! you've probably eaten them fairly regularly throughout your life. why not love the opaque white substance that they secret through teats located on their underside?

Manga

is just really another way of saying graphic novel. which is just a nice way of saying "Illustrated Books". Which is just a fancy way of saying picture books. Which is another way to say coloring book. Which, you could say, is a "Little kid" book. Which generally means a book with a small vocabulary.Which could be taken to mean an article. In a magazine, or something. which is fairly synonymous with a report. which is fairly close to a presentation. That usually means power point, or slide show. Which is usually done in school. so, what this all means is that:

Manga = School

Which means that this makes absolutely no sense.
(But it also technically means that we could be studying manga, not physics.)

Do you ever get that feeling...

So, do you? Well, I do, allot. that feeling when you are leaving the house in the morning of "Oh crap their's something I've forgotten" But you can never remember what it was until your bus is ten meters from it's stop and you get another feeling. More of a casual inquiry. "Do I have my bus pas?" And then you remember what you had forgotten.And then you get the last of "those feelings"- the Oh-my-gosh-I-left-my-wallet-with-my-bus-pas-and-id-card-at-home-and-I-have-a-final-today feeling.

Artificial milk

So, as you may know, I apparently have a milk fetish. it's great to write about... But anyways, this morning I was thinking about  milk, because my cereal was in milk. Wowzydoodles. so, i was thinking, what about artificial milk? Because, milk, after all, is just some fatty water full of vitamins and nutrients, and other things like sugar. At some point, it will become cheaper to make milk artificially, it occurred to me. I mean, it's happened to all sorts of other things... Like diamonds, even. Just you wait.

Defenestration

Alrighty. I'm  going to try to write about something other than milk. After all, the world is full of wonderfully interesting topics- such as defenestration. to defenestrate is to throw an object or person out of a window, Coined for the defenestration of Prague, this word is almost completely useless. just try to use it in everyday conversation- just try. And tell me what happens.

The most useless things

You know, I'm still thinking about milk. but this time, more about bottles of milk- do you know the little plastic piece right below the cap? what purpose dose it serve?!? Think about it. if we just got milk in little baggies, we would save so much material- and it would probably cost companies less anyways. And milk is not the only thing- look around you. see if you can find one of the most useless things. my blog does not count.
