Shame on you!
Oh a few things have been rattlin around my noggin.
The first being the idea of equality. The NDP and other socialist types are always pushing they want everything to be "equal" for everyone. What the hell does that mean? I mean, give everyone the same thing? Because I don't see that as being equal. I may be unhappier with something than someone else, so I think it has to do more with happiness. And this makes sense, some people are completely content with fast food, whereas to give me a similar level of happiness I need a fine dining experience. So, mine costs more, does it not? So, what to do about this? Well, I'm starting to realize that our current system has developed to an extent the kind of equality that I'm talking about. Think about it, if you want more, you gotta work more or use your natural talents. If you're content with the status quo, then that's fine too.
I realize I have kind of an implicit assumption that intelligence means you deserve more. I think it does, it gives you breadth and depth of experience and reasoning. I know, I'm not making much sense right now, just lemme be.
Have you seen that Simpsons where Bart goes to France and is forced to pick grapes for dirty Frenchmen? Remember the scene, "You take the grape between your fingers, twist, and put in the bucket. See? Now do it a million times!" That is kinda how my work feels right now, "See this hyperbola, click certain points, do it a million times!"
Why does everyone have the Starbucks hate, but nobody says a damn thing about Tim Horton's? At least Starbucks makes a top quality product and not just a coffee flavoured beverage. When I walk into any Starbucks, I know that I'm guaranteed the same venti cappucino every time, and it'll be the best one I can buy. What more do you really want out of your coffee store?
Here's a painting done of me, by one of my favourite people:
I love the fact that my cheeks are uber rosy on it.
If you listen to music through a digital device (CD player, MP3's, iPod, whatever), all you are listening to is a computer doing math on an electric signal. Crazy huh?
To all my friends, I will be leaving soon. I hope you can see me before I do, because it's gonna be awhile before I'm back again. So, come shake your booty with me on the dancefloor one last time.
