Being Accurate : why I hate it and love it at the same time.

"All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth".
 Richard Avedon

Oh, yeah?
I was thinking. We keep getting told to be accurate. But what is accuracy? Why do we have to be accurate? To me, accuracy doesn't exist. Take a circle, for instance. It was drawn using a high quality, state-of-the-art pen and a compass that supposedly draws accurate circles. Now, if you magnify this ten times, you will see that it's not a circle. And people think blunt pencils are accurate. Even computers aren't accurate.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Oh. My. God.
I just had the worst thought of my life.
That life didn't exist. And everybody that I knew just appeared to know me and talk to me when they were actually in a different world where I was saying different stuff and they were saying different stuff.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Okay, all done.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yes. I was saying-
Now something is pulling my hair. I am going to turn around after publishing this post.
And after Smelly Socks.

Random randomness that does not make any sense.

Personally, I do not think dedications make sense. What's the point of dedicating something to a dead person when they're not even going to look at it?

As you probably know,
I
Hate
the word
etc., for it makes no
sense.

Two weeks seems like forever if you're
waiting,
but,
it gets over waaay
to fast if you're enjoying it.

And cupcakes
get
over too
fast.

To help you
remember haikus:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end.
 
A few sentences that I saw in a magazine.
Never use no double negatives.
And never start sentences with conjuctions.
No one-word sentences. Ever.
Don't use contraptions in simple sentences.
Don't use elongated words when dimunitive ones will suffice.
I might post a few more later, but not now. I found thes really funny, but owing to the lack of readers, I don't think anyone else will.
 
I'm too lazy to write anymore. Too tired to even write put up the SMELLY SOCKS section. Probably'll go catch some zzz's.
Toodles.

I have two words for ya. Not. Happy.

Today I found out that I did not have any followers. Probably due to the lack of posts. A few moments ago I was not happy. Now I am hopelessly angry. As a May 22nd resolution, I solemnly swear I will post at least four posts a week, if not more. For zis is a very, very bad sign.
Anwhoo, I just found out that there was no special Google doodle on my birthday. Not in Timbuktu, not even in China! Maintenant, je suis très, très, TRÉS en colère.

Things and People to Throw off Rainbows

• Everyone who calls me annoying
• People who think being vegetarian is a handicap. FOR GOODNESS' SAKE, PEOPLE! IT'S A CHOICE!
• Non-vegetarians who apparently "Care for Animals". Yeah, right.
• Teenagers who dye their hair. (Sorry, but I just don't like the idea of colored hair!)
• Annoying blogs that have messages saying Please do not leave any comments or follow this blog. Heh, heh, heh.
• Plain, unflavored soymilk.
• And for that matter, soymilk itself.
• Gel pens
• People who use gel pens
• People who say that using good ol' ballpoints ruin your handwriting
• Chat speak. Why on Earth would anybody want to write wat instead of what? Why? WHY?
• Songs written by people who have names starting with K. (Not naming any names here.)
• People who get mad at me for correcting them.
• And then even more when they correct me.
• Grammatical mistakes.
• When people write Oh, and I almost forgot... in speeches. They didn't forget if they remembered to read it, did they?
• Biology, Always have, and always will.
• People who hate physics
• People who hate math, for that matter.
• Dust covers. Technically, they make the book get more dirty, since annoyed people remove them anyway.
• People who hate strawberries.
• People who think animals are dumb. They are dumb.
• Etc. What do they mean, etc.?!? For example, apple, tomato, etc. What is etc.? Red fruits? Apple, tomato, strawberry. Round fruits? Apple, tomato, orange. Red, round fuits? Apple, tomato, cherry. Another one of those things I hate about English. You know, I'd much rather learn Mandarin. It's much more, you know, widely spoken. Though I wouldn't exactly find many people to talk to here in Tunisia.
• Pigtails. In my opinion, pigtails should look like this.

• Paradoxes.(a statement that contradicts itself; "`I always lie' is a paradox because if it is true it must be false")
• People who use backspace on the keyboard instead of < . They are just wasting more time.
• Insults
• Email Forwards
• And many, many, other things that I am sure you do not have the patience to read.

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."

A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car.
"I'll make a deal with you," said his father. "You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut, and then we'll talk."
A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car.
"Son, I'm real proud of you. You've brought your grades up and you've studied your Bible, but you didn't get hair cut!"
"You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that. Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair."
"Yes son, and they walked everywhere they went!"

Thoughts on a Tunnel to China

I was reading my friend Pearlene's blog, and she had written this post on digging tunnels to China*. I was flipping through a few books of mine, and something rather wierd caught my eye. It said that if you really COULD dig a hole to China, you would have to start somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Which is wierd, because this "idea" probably originated in America (Though it could have originated from some other country, but most likely not in the middle of an ocean). But if it did, I must congratulate the creator for knowing so precisely where he/she was. But even if it was, it seems very funny to dig a hole under the ocean. And as Pearlene mentions, especially with a spoon. You can hardly dig a dent in the ground with a spoon, let alone a tunnel to China. Even if you were going to dig a hole to China with a spoon, you would have to pass the mantle, the outer core, the inner core, the outer core again, and the mantle again. Which pretty much leaves us with the conclusion that you are dead. And even if you are not, you would melt. Suppose you succeeded in digging the hole. Where would the matter occupying the tunnel go? You would have to throw it a looooooooooooong way up. And after you pass the center of gravity, it would be like digging a hole in the ceiling. The matter would come and collapse on you, which would kill you for the second time. And last. If you're digging a hole threough the Earth, which is millions of millions of miles across, you would probably be dead by the time you came up on the other side. Voila. You have succeeded in digging a hole to China, and you have been killed three times.

Time Travelling

I was just thinking. Technically, it should not be possible to time travel, because it takes time to time travel. And it's not like time just stops still when you time travel. Anyway, I just watched "back to the future". At the end, that guy sees himself go back in time. If that really did happen, there should have been two of him in that time. Another reason why time travel is probably impossible.

It's A Very Boring Day - A poem By Anika Creek

Today is very boring
It’s as boring as can be
There’s nothing much to do now
Nothing much to see

There’s a zebra in my bedroom
Brandishing a sword
There’s a jaguar in the garden
I’m positively bored

I’m looking at the calendar
Today is children’s day
I don’t know what to do now
It’s a very boring day

An avalanche killed thousands
About half a mile away
An earthquake just erupted
In New Delhi and Bombay

My brother’s on a spaceship
Halfway to the planet Mars
And I’m stuck here, just waiting
Gazing jealously at the stars

Today is very boring
It is boring as I talk
We got a pet gorilla
Mom just took it for a walk

I know I needn’t say this
But I’ll say it once again
Today is very boring
I think I will go insane

There’s a monkey in my uniform
A bird nest in my head
Today is so, so boring
I think I’ll go to bed

There’s nothing much to do now
Nothing much to see
Today is very boring
It’s as boring as can be

Lemonade to Grape Juice

You know that quote
"If life gives you lemons, make lemonade" ?
Meaning : take what life has in store for you and make something nice out of it.
A little modification:
"If life gives you lemons, throw them away and buy a bottle of grape juice"
Meaning : take what life has in store for you, discard it, and start all over again.

M&M's

Rainbows have always been a big part of my life. I'm not talking scientifically, like how rainbows are formed. To me, a rainbow signifies variety. Variety in color. Variety in taste. Variety in the way you think. Rainbows have always been beautiful, and they always will be.
