meme selection

one more uncertainty principle for the road
The more time you waste, the less energetic you are. The more energy you have, the less time it takes you to do stuff.


yet another uncertainty principle
The more you know about who you are, the less you know about what you're doing (and vice versa)

another uncertainty principle
The more you know about where you’re going, the less you know about where you are (and vice versa).

pukeworthy
The acid reflux in my chest burns like the very fires of hell. No more beer for you young man!

unspeakability
Timothy Fartsucker was at a loss for words, which was hardly surprising given his ontology (pet rock).

music, maestro
Music is a mood mirror and an emotion engine.

another way of nothingness
Nothing matters is another way of saying everything matters equally.

absolutely relative, relatively absolute
Nothing matters. And absolute nothing-matters-ness absolutely doesn't matter. (Apologies to Lord Acton)

a fist in the face
Say my purpose is to avoid being punched in the face. It's not wrong or bad if I go around punching people in the face. But it sure as hell will not serve my purpose because sooner or later one of those people is gonna punch me right back in the face.

a length of Planck
How small is small? How big is big? How long is the longest Planck? All qualities (qualia, if you must) are relative.

The Great Illusion

The Great Illusion This is an amazing site that everyone should see. Written in poetry that kind of clunks along, not the greatest, but it is the ideas that are worth partiaking of, and the artwork is truly awe inspiring. Do you yourself a favour

best things in life

  • Longest ever wait in line? 45 minutes "on-hold" waiting to speak with Telstra customer service rep.
  • Best things in life are free?" depends on definition of "best"--definitions vary from person to person--and on definition of "free" (which could mean "at no charge" in the monetary sense, or it could mean free of any and all encumbrances, monetary, emotional and/or otherwise. And not forgetting that definitions of "free" vary from person to person).
    For some people, at some times, some things are free, and some of those free things are the best.
  • The day I attended an interview to test my suitablility for being admitted to university as an undergraduate student of architecture. My grades were more than good enough to qualify me for admittance. If only, during the panel interview, I had not answered "for the money" in response to the question "why do you want to be an archtect?". As it turned out I was refused admittance and went on to do a Bachelor of Arts degree. But to this day, some 35 very odd years later, I believe that some kind of dysfunctional karmic breakdown occured. I would have been a great architect, one of the greatest ever. It's amazing how one flippant remark can screw up a person's destiny.

manic belated monday

  • Of all my (many) disturbing personality traits, unbridled lust has gotten me into the most trouble.
  • If I had to gain 10 pounds very quickly I would eat a whole roast suckling pig, with crackling, followed by a 12-inch (radius) pecan and pistachio nut pie with super-duper-double clotted creamy cream, all washed down with five or six pints of James Squires Amber Ale.
  • In private I am bad-tempered, impatient, intolerant, resentful--a total jerk. In public I am calm, friendly (even warm), always reasonable, patient, tolerant, content--an all round great guy you'd be happy to introduce to your mother.
