the internet does work after all - or does it? a blog about time
For this assignment I've been racking my brain, and I’ve also had time to recoup from 24 hour flu (a fun experience in time) and time enough to wait for my homes internet connection to be fixed by Comcast
Time apparently is on my side, yes it is…. But in unusual ways
I’ve had a lot of ideas, and ill post them here in list ~so to say~
the funny thing though, is despite coming up with a concrete idea and following it thru (originally)... I continue to either think of new ideas, or merely get lost in the abstraction of the subject which leads to whims, remembering things, realizing I’ve forgotten things, or merely just realizing I’ve been thinking for too long without getting anything productive on, I also learned once more that I write colliqiouly and I don’t know how to spell, I also tend to think in tangents, and I could really use a secretary to keep me "on time"
nevertheless, I lack technical savvy in a lot of areas, I’m still a noob in regards to pumping out vids or websites but I do have the ideas for things, so I guess I’ll just explain what I’ve come up with
keep in mind, if I had it my way, there would be music to all of this
for one, David bowie changes ~ "time may change me, but I can’t trace (should be change) time"
also, Everlong by Foo Fighters (mainly bc it rocks, but also for irony usage when applied to certain aspects, sometimes things should end… ie MJ… you’ll understand when you get there)
Anyways
Here are some “time” uh things ;p
Watching a colts game.. time slows down, and its not over till its over *BELIEVE*
Procrastination is an art form
Gwen Stefani (where’d the talent go)
BB King, still rocking and still amazing (some careers can last)
How time affects opinions ~ transition to a great movie ~ SLC Punk!
How we can change so much or so little over time, where were we a week ago, month ago, year ago etc
Gas Prices !!!
Donnie Darko another great flick
its just awesome… and I thought I should post the lyrics, bc as time goes by, our understanding/interpretation evolve, devolve, and sometimes just disappear
Hello
I've waited here for you
everlong
Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
time effects us all, and well its probably the one element that keeps this world constantly interesting
oh and by the way i put the pics up top without explanation bc i wanted you to wonder what they were for since they are seemingly random and you have had "TIME" to think about them up till now so hahaha
also thats a picture of "old faithful" i just thought it was perhaps a good adage for time, and if you can ever see it... it really is pretty accurate

"Bible Dip" ~ Pandemonium (pg148?)
For my first dipping session, I opened the book to this article that roughly recalls a person and their group problem solving exercise experieince
Nevertheless, the gist was that two head are better than one, so on and so forth
However, I am taking this notion and challenging it towards the opiate of the masses aka religion
Is this always true?
I mainly want to play devils advocate as religion has been on my mind (lets say that relationships can get dicey when this topic comes up and well yea....)
But anyways, are two heads ALWAYS better?
I suppose the best answer is no, not always... becuase for one thing, working with a guy in a coma isn't going to be much help is it? ~~ well I suppose he could help with rhetorical questions, but thats beside the point.
So if anyone actually reads this, hit me back and let me know what you think
is there an order to chaos, or does order inevitably lead to chaos
are we able to bypass our animal instincts to become something more, or are we a prisoner to our lower survival needs, a shortcoming of morals, can we become more than we are naturally? do we work better on our own, or as a group, a civilization, a country?
i guess thats alot and pretty broad, but deal with it, i want to know
forever and always

ze egg-sperience
its incredible, edible, and guess WHAT it comes from a CHICKEN BUTT
yea, thats right its the EGG
so far for my experiences with this assignment i've tried a couple different things
for one, i've just left it out on my coffee table and waited to see what people would say
so far though, only my room mate has mentioned something, as it continues to perplex him
so this class 1 confused outsiders 0
however, this might be the tipping point for my roomie in that he might think that ive officially lost it, especially after becoming single, and watching the colts tonight, and a few crazy days of celebrating turning 24
nevertheless, the egg
the second thing i attempted to do with it, was leave it out during a party, but after a few beers had been downed, i had to hide it bc people started getting the glazed over look that seemed to say kegs N eggs (and well the egg i recieved for this has been sitting out well, since i got it)
lastly, i was going to try to do a magic trick with it that i learned on the food network, courtesy of the great man ALTON BROWN
the trick basically is to tell without any equipment if an egg has been hardboiled
all you need is a hardboiled egg and a regular one, and if you have any questions ill let you know how in class
but needless to say, my eggs broke while i was demonstrating to my roomie
and well
thats the re cap
