random thoughts chapter 23

1. The Movie "Signs" by M. Night Shamalan demonstrated what I’ve long suspected to be the cornerstone of every (countryside) american home: the baseball bat.
2. Democracy is overrated.
3. at the height of paranoia, you’d say: they are on to us.
4. lessons from game theory: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
5. the genetic eve predates the genetic adam by more than 100,000 years. it’s time to rethink that old story about women fashioned out of man’s ribs.
6. months after tea emerged as a popular "healthy drink", i saw a billboard touting coffee as containing more antioxidants (than the former), right along the expressway. great. Now I know what Corleone meant by "Just when I thought I was out. They pulled me right back in".
7. ergo, I started drinking coffee yesterday.
8. i don’t remember why i told my grade one teacher how wrong she was about me.
9. if I were to think about a possible (bleak) future, I’d be divided among two possibilities: cockroaches surving a nuclear winter (at the expense of mankind), or one in which i’d find the Statue of Liberty’s head along the beach.
10. when people say goddamn you, do they believe in a god?
11. it just doesn’t make any sense. politics, that is.
12. if i had lived during the time of tokugawa in japan, i would have been selling tofu…

15. a friend asked me whether i had slept at the lab, i told her, no i haven’t had any sleep yet. when she asked me why, i remember telling her, that’s what classes are for!
16. it’s a good thing i got this ROYGBIV thing memorized because I haven’t seen any rainbows for a while. why do i care about seeing rainbows? (you may ask), if the biblical Noah did exist, he would know…
17. I stared at a replica of the Mona Lisa for about 15 minutes. I don’t recall having any revelations similar to those guys in ….
18. angts like: the day seems longer… the nights are endless. i am the lord of midnight.
19. I started taking up HP Lovecraft in my spare time … his Nihilistic view of the universe is …. insightful …. it’s profound …
20. Cthulu ftagn
21. if i had a box like pandora, it would be filled with unkept promises and unfulfilled dues… that’s evil…
22. After many years my constellation know-how improved. i can now identify 3. that’s …. pathetic.
23. we still don’t know the answer to a lot of questions that starting with why
