Did you create the universe? (Thoughts that keep me awake)

It is 5 AM. I apologize if this becomes dumb or if it is continuously dumb throughout. Ok. Lets begin. Vibrations do not have intrinsic attributes like color or sound. Ok, so what? So everything that you have seen or heard has only been your mind's way of interpreting all the junk around you.

Want to Accomplish A Goal? Then Keep it To Yourself

keep it secret.

Here is a fun bit of psychology for you.  If you have a personal goal that you really want to accomplish then do not tell anyone about it.  Studies have shown that any time you share a personal goal with someone, you are less likely to accomplish said goal.  Hmmm interesting.

Thoughts on Roads

Geometry fact: Roads are equal
to the shape of a giant violin

Man: the geometric abstraction on this earth. Roads stand as a testament to that fact, and are beautiful ones at that.  They shrink distances and they connect states.  They are the skeletal system for thriving cities and booming metropolis.  They support the vessels that transport the lifeblood of society.  Like fossils preserved in tar, long after we are gone these roads will remain as evidence of all that we accomplish in our lives.

Where Will I Be In Five Years? (Controlling my own Country)

Ok I know it is an ambitious goal, but I really think I would be the best man to rule a country.  Well, it wouldn't be just me alone.  I would have people with similar moral convictions (none) help me run the country.  I am kidding, I have moral convictions. It would be a great and prosperous country founded on Austrian Economics.  

The place we erect ( yes, I expect your help with this) will look like Dubai, but without the turbans.  Also I think we are going to have to be stationed in Alaska, which means we get the aurora borealis.  Think of that, skyscrapers that tear into a sky that is painted by the celestial master himself. It will be wicked awesome.

Here is the plan.   

Year 1

Here is the first step, and maybe the hardest.  We will make a website that generates a lot of income, like something bigger than facebook or google, or at least as big as cupid.com.  Many of you are probably aware that since I joined examiner 3 months ago I have made almost 100 additional dollars. So once we launch the site we will be able to take the revenue from that and put it into my celebrity career.  Which brings me to step two.

Year 2

Create an international best selling album that the whole world enjoys. Have the lyrics base around the philosophies of liberty and of a unlimited potential given to all people by a higher being, I am talking about god, but I don't want the lyrics to be so direct.  You know how so many people have that strange aversion to any thing that deals with religion.  So it will be uplifting and spiritually awakening but under the guise of indie-pop music.  This will lay the founding philosophy for the Constitution of the new country.

Year 3

Maybe we could do something like this.

With the huge success from the music career and the website I will be able to use the money and influence to get into acting.  This will be the fastest way to promote knowledge about the plans.  This will also help us to connect with  influential people that may be able to support the cause.  This will be mostly a political move, if you know what I mean.

Year 4

Step four, actually go into politics.  This is when I will become senator of Alaska.  I will need a lot of baking --excuse me, backing*-- here, because we are going to need to change the laws and regulations about drilling for oil.  Don't worry, it doesn't kill animals. The heat from the pipelines actually creates havens for animals, in short it actually benefits the Eco system.

Year 5

Imagine a huge city under that. Beautiful.

Use the huge amounts of money made from oil and internet industry mixed with the influence developed through the celebrity political career, and buy Alaska from America.   We would easily be able to maintain the economy with the oil rigs and with the advanced computing factories we would erect.  We would need about a trillion dollars I think though, so that we could do this.  In five years time the national debt is going to be very high, according to wolframalpha  it will be 15 trillion dollars. We will have to at least be able to pay 1 of that 15. 

Don't worry about pollution and junk, we can use natural geysers for energy during the dark season, and we could use solar energy during the light season, we will just sell the oil to all the other countries. So what do you say? Are you in or are you totally in!?





 

Separation

Just a quick thought,  so I am sitting down listening to music and doing health related blog stuff online when all of a sudden I realize that I am in a room full of people.  My coworkers are all around me.  I haven't said a single word to them. Pretty cool how we can detach ourselves from our natural surroundings with some headphones and computer screen.  I don't know, I thought that was sort of weird.  I wonder if they think the same thing. I won't ask them cause that would be awkward.

Maybe some day this will happen.

Higgs Boson Confirms Belief In Ethereal Matter (I Am Talking About Your Soul)

Understand that it confirms 'my' belief in ethereal matter (spiritual matter).  Everything I tell you is true.  Even my thoughts truly are my thoughts, I will tell you before I start speculating so you know not to repeat it. Everything else is totally fact. It is actualy like super awesome news for science. HORRAY FOR SCIENCE.

The Higgs Boson was discovered. This is an incredible discovery that a lot of people will take for granted.  Mainly it is great news for the standard model of physics because now it doesn't have to be thrown away.   What? you haven't heard of The Higgs Boson. What may sound like a mountaineer who lives in Yellow Stone, rides bison, and wrestles bears is actually a field, sort of like a magnetic field.

This picture explains everything

This Higgs Boson field has a very interesting quality about it.  It gives other particles mass.  wait did you even hear that? IT GIVES MASS.  just like hot dogs on white bread -- Happy Fourth BTW, I am deciding to call it Dependence Day from now on-- this field provides mass.  

Imagine this Higgs Boson like stuff, it is everywhere and it is all around us, but it really isn't stuff it is more like potential stuff. Other atomic particles pass through this Higgs Boson and collect mass, just like if it was a fast food restaurant. Like people some particles take more than others, and thus they acquire more mass.

Here is why it is really neat. This means that mass 'happens' to a particle rather than being an intrinsic quality.   Each particle is given mass as it passes through this Higgs Boson.  Physicists say this explains why and how dark matter exists, and some other things that weren't really proven, but I don't know all the facts about that.

Because this field gives mass to particles (this is me speculating) it would seem that the frame work of all mass was created before it was ever made into matter.  That means you, my friend, existed before you had a body. Then one day you, you being atomic particles, floated into the Higgs Boson and voila you got a body.  Of course the body did a lot of good developing in the womb and on earth, but the initial essence of you had to start as a template without any mass whatsoever. I am saying you were a spirit in some pre-life. Do you get it!?

To me this makes sense.

Adapting to Stockholm

Of course I like you, you're my captor.

I heard that when POWs are locked away they sometimes begin to feel compassion and emotional attachment toward their captors.  It is called Stockholm syndrome. This isn’t because of some creepy mind control, but it is actually a paradoxical psychological phenomenon. Sometimes people will even defend their captors and take “lack of abuse” as an act of kindness.  People do this as a natural way of adapting to their environment.

The reason people start to develop these emotions toward their captors is so that they can feel comfortable, or, at least, a little comfortable.  I think most of us would agree that many of the places we go, we do not feel comfortable.  For some people even posting silly blogs is uncomfortable enough.

But if POWs and little kids who have been abducted can start to feel comfortable, then I should be a freaking fizz headed bubbly bastard. I mean for crysakes, I am neither abducted nor a prisoner of war.  I just work and go to school, and still I get anxious.  Nothing I do should be considered stressful, I am hardly ever in any life-threatening situations, and I have so much money I can buy food almost every day. All I have to do is sit in a chair and type things, or, if I’m at school, write things.

I remember back when I was a kid I hated typing/ writing. Partly because spell check wasn’t readily available to me, so nothing I wrote every made any sense at all.  But as I have aged I have started liking it a little more.  There seems to be some sort of value in seeing your thoughts become fossilized in ink.  As soon as you record an idea it becomes eternal.  I think that is neat.

I think the whole point of this blog is that it is easy to adapt to uncomfortable situations.  Alls U gotta dew is get out and put yourself in somesorta situations you aint never been in affor.
