I wish I could walk in Feddy's shoes for one day.

I've been following the Australian open but missed the last couple of days. I am kind of glad that I missed the Federer vs. Roddick match - I can never enjoy the complete and utter demolition of a human being in such a devastatingly public arena. One just has to read Feddy's comments to realize just how secure the guy is in his belief that he rules men's tennis.

Read it and weep!

Let the rain come down...

Track playing in my mind and winamp --> Into the Ocean by Blue October.

And the cerebral windmills are turning yet again... I fell off the happiness wagon with the flooding of the toilet - so many things about that morning that I will never forget. A lot of questions dogging me - I wish to god that I could spill my guts out to *someone*.

Been trying to drown my existence in TV - considered buying some alcohol to help with the process - but, that's not my style ...

Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the oceans..
let the waves wash me over...

...
let the rain come down..

:) I think this is cute.

A philosophy professor walks in to give his class their final. Placing his chair on his desk the professor instructs the class, "Using every applicable thing you've learned in this course, prove to me that this chair DOES NOT EXIST."

So, pencils are writing and erasers are erasing, students are preparing to embark on novels proving that this chair doesn't exist, except for one student. He spends thirty seconds writing his answer, then turns his final in to the astonishment of his peers.

Time goes by, and the day comes when all the students get their final grades ... and to the amazment of the class, the student who wrote for thirty seconds gets the highest grade in the class.

His answer to the question: "What chair?"

Official and incontrovertible evidence of my nerdiness.

I woke up this morning with an unique kind of satisfaction, that of knowing that my mind has officially given me proof of my being a nerd. I dreamt about working on something academic with this teenaged girl - maybe as part of an outreach program? The girl was very smart. I was watching her do addition on a computer screen. Let me further qualify the last statement, she was doing binary addition. Something about her mathematics wasn't adding up, please excuse the pun. I remember being perplexed and struggling to understand why what she was doing seemed right while not immediately ringing a bell in my head. And then I remember feeling the warmth of understanding taking over me - the girl was doing 2's complement addition without showing the intermediate steps! That's a wowza moment for me!

positively funny!

A hydrogen atom lost its electron and went to the police station to file a missing electron report. He was questioned by the police: "Haven't you just misplaced it somewhere? Are you sure that your electron is really lost?"

"I'm positive." replied the atom.

I'm free!!

I no longer reside in Mt. Pleasant, SC!!! I now reside in the glory that is State College, PA!!!!

I haven't decided what to do with this blog yet. I have too much music info. etc. invested in the blog right now to chuck it. So, for now, it stays. I don't think I'll be posting to it though. PARawks is a suggested possibility that I am seriously considering.

I made a few really good friends in Charleston. I was introduced to Capoeira. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Darcy. I spent some glorious time on Sullivan's Island. For all the bitching and moaning, for all the aches and pains, at least it wasn't a complete washout. (I guess I'm softening my stance and saying that Charleston almost completely sucks, but there are a few redeeming souls and factors there.)
