Once upon a time...

Once there was a man who wanted very much to be famous. He tried with all his might to make a difference in the World so that he could be remembered and go down in history. Sadly he did not succeed. So instead, he decided he would write an autobiography so that he could at least go down in his story. He called it My Me Story, but soon after he died, his existence became his mystery.

After a much anticipated break.

I guess I was ready enough for that Friday but it turns out there was a lot more to be unprepared for, which was having to work the next day. I wasn't expecting to work the first day I got back. I didn't really consider working at all last week, but the money was nice, and I got a little bit of a work out, that which is lacking here at college.
Music cheers me up,
I also got to see a bunch of people from high school. Some one thought it would be a good idea to have a "1.5 year reunion" and that's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard of. I've heard of a 1 year reunion, but this was a half year, what's that about? Anyway, I still went because it was fun to, and I knew it would be before I went, so there. Oh, and I definitely made time to visit the girl of my dreams. You know the one...
especially if it's about the big guy.
I've got to get busy I've got some drawings to do for my design class and I probably have some homework waiting for me, posted on the Internet. There are a lot of drawings, I won't be here for a while.

I had to do a system restore on my compy so I lost aol, bummer. I'll get it back soom enough.

Playing the System

While signing up for classes, I noticed that I have 9.5 credits so far. I still need 2 or 3 at least to become a full time student. But the 9.5 credits add up to 17 hours of my week, so if I get a 3 credit class, chances are I will have 20 hours of school or more and I don't feel like taking much more than that. I'm thinking of taking some chemistry, physics, or biology as my free electives. As crazy as it may sound, I kind of miss science classes. Anyway, I may be getting gypped out of time and not being given credits for it, but I am getting them back in my own personal way. The reason why I haven't signed up for my last class, is that I'm looking not for a certain subject, but a certain time slot. If I get the one I want, I'll end up with no school on Monday, and only one hour of lecture on Friday from 12:10 to 1:00. That's right folks, you read it right, and you can go back if you need to and read it again, that's a three and a half day weekend! I kind of fell into that last semester, and now that I have tasted it, I want more. It's also way good for the way I operate, because I need large blocks of time in order to be efficient and/or even motivated to do homework. Three and a half days should be plenty of time to do that, among other things.

Beating the Odds

Last night, things were not looking good. I didn't know if I was going to make it through. Last night, at 7:00, I started studying for a test that I had today at 10:00 in the morning, the funny thing is that's saying something, because I rarely even look over the material. Last night, I also had to some math homework that was due this morning, which I didn't start until somewhere around 1:00 in the morning. I also had a project to do that I should have dedicated a whole day to last weekend, that was due this morning. I decided not to do the project last night before I went to bed around 3:30. This project involved walking around campus to find at least twelve memorials and having to find at least two in each of four designated areas spread out across campus. And man, it was cold this morning, I just didn't feel like being that cold before I went to bed.
If you don't know if I got done with all these things...
Now that it's all over I can finally do an indepth check on my blogs, emails, and on facebook. I can also do my laundry, and while I do that, I plan on reading ahead in my text book/s so that I don't get in a predicament like that again. Hooray fot that!
and did good on the test, look at the title of the post!
We had the first real snow of the year today, in the region. I forgot how harsh the weather is. Despite that, and both of my pairs of tennis shoes being soaked due to the weather, this turned out to be one of the best days academically and in turn all together, that I've had here at college yet.

The Awakening.

Realizing the importance of things is like being awake to me. Staying up 'til 2:00 in the morning two nights in a row working on a project is like having a good alarm clock. The problem is that it will only be a matter of time before I either drift back asleep to the drone of my alarm clock, or I get sick of it all and hit the snooze button and fall back asleep almost immediately. When will I be able to stay awake long enough to snap out of this vicious cycle.
Not in my house, not in your house, not in their house.
"Arr!" says the pirate. "I'm going to bed," he says.

All the World goes by when Time Stops.

Okay, my speedometer is broken on my car. It happened on my second to last interstate trip. It just reads zero all the time, so I have no idea how fast I'm going. Anyway, if you think about it, it displays your velocity, right? Velocity = distance / time. And since I am going somewhere, there has to be a distance, but the speedometer says I'm not moving at all, so that must mean that time has stopped (the other reasoning behind this is that the clock in my car is way off and cannot be trusted until it has been reset, therefore I have no idea whether time is really moving or not). The point of this story is to tell you, that you cannot believe how weird it is to have experienced the speedometer at zero but still be going somewhere. It's almost as if time has stopped but, everyone is still going about their business (the world goes by). But the bad thing is that you cannot divide by zero time. It is mathematically impossible. So I may, inadvertently, be causing the space time continuum to collapse and ultimately destroy the Universe as we know it. Sorry everbody.

Or... Maybe it is more like, my car gives me the special ability to not exist (because you can't divide by zero) while I'm driving around. And I just come back into existence at the arrival of my destination. Sort of like when they appearate in Harry Potter, or like teleporting, or beaming, ha ha ha...

"Beam me up, Scottie"

Only it's not instantanious like in those situations (sigh). If only (trails off)...

Dream world.

Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm living in the dream world. Sometimes, I get the feeling that other people think I'm living in a dream world, but they don't bother to tell me when I don't realize it. Or least that they don't tell me directly.
Are you strange like me?
I know I'm strange sometimes, but I could stand to know some of those times.

The end of the Universe

Okay, So I am here to answer the questions of the Universe. I know you have all been dieing to find out! And I have a quote from someone in my Bible Study.
Does the Universe end, or go on forever?
If it ends, where does it end?
Is there intelligent life in the Universe other than us, is other life at all?

I don't intend to tell you the answers because I don't know (only that one guy does and we put nails in him). But, I do have it narrowed down to two theories.

1) Does the Universe go on forever? If it does, where does it end?
Theory A) Yes it does. But, I am going to say that there is an end to the universe, and that it can only extend on forever because at the all the ends of the universe exist either identical universes or alternate universes (slightly different from the last). Similar to the movie Pleasant Ville when they are learning about geography while they are in the TV show. Perhaps if there are alternate universes, you can progress through them and find something different from one universe to the next until it has become completely unrecognizable to you. This theory is not as clean cut as the next though.
Theory B) No, the Unierse does not extend on forever, the universe has a definite boundary. Experts (I just made this up, there are no experts) say that our galaxy is approximately in the exact middle between the center of the universe and edge of the universe and that we are orbiting at a speed of seven hundred and thirteen thousand Earth years per revolution of the center of the Universe. Experts (again, there are no real, consulted experts) also say that the Universe resembles the shape of a Recess Peanut Butter Cup, but it's hard to tell for sure because we are unable to view it from the outside. Nor do we have a camera that big. This means that we are somewhere in the Peanut Butter Region of the Universe. Scientists in the field continue to argue whether or not God and Mother Nature had been walking along, one with the peanut butter and one with the chocolate, when they had bumped into each other and accidentally invented the Universe as we know it today. Still, all the scientists who believe this to be true argue who had the peanut butter and who had the chocolate.
The beauty of this theory is that anything outside of the Universe is non-existent. Therefore, the need to explain this theory and why there isn't anything outside the Universe doesn't exist because your thoughts about what's are outside of the Universe (thinking outside of the box, if you will. Or in some cases thinking outside of the bun) must be in the context of non-existence in which case you thoughts become non-existent along with everything, or shall I say nothing that is outside of the Universe.

2)Is there intelligent life in the Universe other than us, is other life at all?
We can break this up into my two other theories...
Theory A -intelligence) Okay, If the there are alternate or identical Universes outside of this one, then of course there is other intelligent life. It at least has to exist in this part of the Universe of other our neighboring Universes. But it it is Uncertain whether or not there is other intelligent life than here on Earth in this Universe.
Theory B -intelligence) Yes, there has to be. I cannot explain why or give you proof, but I find it unlikely that we are the only living organisms ever to exist in the Universe. Unless... you are going along with the Creation story of the Bible, then we must be the only ones, and when God said to multiply and inhabit the Earth, he was also referring to to the rest of the Universe. That (I guess) seems the like the more likely and valid answer to me. But, how do we know that the Egyptians, the Romans, the Greeks or the people of the Mid-Evil time period didn't secretly already send people off into the Universe and they have since then evolved differently into other more or less intelligent creatures like ourselves. How do you know?
