If eating hotdogs is not right, then I want to be wrong.

Which OS are You?

MM I have a question or two. We have recorded history for about 5,000 to 6,000 years, approx. The Old Testament was not written(started the Old Testament) until about 1400 BC, approx. Why did God wait so long to inspire someone to write the Old Testement? Why is the Old Testament not the Oldest Book in the world? before all the legends and stories from other civilizations? Would not God want the "Truth" out there from the beginning of time for man to read? Would not God want His flood story first? The Bible should be the origin of original thought, but it is not, why?

The Perodic Table is quit logical in it's configuation. It is amazing how the elements can be arranged by the number of protons, and how valance electrons fit into the arrangement of the table. It has been years since I have taken a chemistry( actually the last chemistry class I had taken was high school) I was not sure how I was going to like chemistry. There has been alot of change in chemistry, and I am having fun learning all the new chemistry stuff. One of the new things I really like working out are Lewis Structures , I find these problems fun and challenging, I like working out these kinds of problems.

Make love not war. Nothing more to say.

Why does God need a Army of Angels to do His bidding?

I do not understand how Tom Cruse getting married is news. He is just going to get divorced in 9 years and 6 months anyways.

This is soooooo amazing, I found a picture of Hogrider's Harley, I can see why she has so much fun riding around Shreveport; is that Frank?

Me and Lily go to Wal-Mart a fair amount of the time, Wal-Mart has some of the best oatmeal-raisin cookies that I have every had. They are too die for. A cold glass of milk and 5 or 6 cookies and I am in cookie heaven. :-) I do not think that anybody can make these cookies any better, other then Mother or Lily. And that's the truth.

If there was a class for Seinfield I would take it. I think that Seinfield was a brilliant comedy show, they were able to take subjects and world events and transform them into comedy routines.

1. "Sex, to save the friendship."

2. "Listen to this. Marcy comes over and she tells me that her ex-boyfriend was over late last night and 'yada yada yada I'm really tired today.' You don't think she'd yada yada sex?"
"I've yada yada'd sex."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again."
"But you yada yada'd over the best part."
"No, I mentioned the bisque."

3. "Jerry, you stand on the threshold to the magical world of sensual delights that most men dare not dream of."

4. You remember my corporation, Kramerica Industries?"
"Alright."
"Well, apparently NYU is very enthusiastic about their students getting some real world corporate experience."
"But you only provide fantasy world corporate experience."

5. "She needs a little tenderness. She needs a little understanding. She needs a little Kramer."

6. "What is so appealing to men about a catfight?"
"Because men think if women are grabbing and clawing at each other, there's a chance they might somehow kiss."

7. "This whole sex thing is totally overrated. Now, the one thing you gotta be ready for is how the man changes into a completely different person five seconds after it's over. I mean, something happens to their personality. It's really quite astounding. It's like they committed a crime and they want to flee the scene before the police get there."
"So they just leave?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Well, the smart ones start working on their getaway stories during dinner. How, you know, they gotta get up early tomorrow. It's always about being up early. They all turn into farmers suddenly."

8. "So, how's the fornicating gourmet?"
"Doing quite well, thank you. Yesterday I had a soft-boiled egg and a quickie. You know what? If I could add TV to the equation, that would really be the ultimate."

9. "Can I have a medium diet coke?"
"Do you want the medium size or the middle size?"
"What's the difference?"
"Well, we have three sizes - medium, large and jumbo."
"What happened to the small?"
"There is no small. Small's medium."
"What's medium?"
"Medium's large and large is jumbo."
"Okay, give me the large."
"That's medium."
"Right. Can I have a small popcorn?"
"There is no small. Child-size is small."
"What's medium?"
"Adult."
"Do adults ever order the child-size?"
"Not usually."
"Okay, give me the adult."
"Do you want butter?"
"Is it real butter?"
"It's butter flavoring."
"What is it made of?"
"It's yellow."

10. "It's not you, it's me.... You're giving me the 'It's not you, it's me' routine? I invented 'It's not you, it's me.' Nobody tells me it's them, not me. If it's anybody, it's me."
"Alright, George, it's you."
"You're damn right it's me."
"Look, I was just trying to...."
"I know what you were trying to do. Nobody does it better than me."
"Well I'm sure you do it very well."
"Yes, well, unfortunately you'll never get the chance to find out."

All Hell For A Basement Lyrics

I'm a workin' man
But I ain't worked for a while
Like some old tin can
From the bottom of the pile
From the bottom of the pile

[Chorus]
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement

My words are like a rope
That's wrapped around my throat
Wash my mouth with soap
For words unfit to quote

Chorus x2
And now I'm free to go
But time cannot remove
The only life I know
Now only time will prove
Yes only time will prove

If I have lost my way
Cuz I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement

Yeah I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement

Big Sugar

I heard this song on The Bear, what made me listen to it was that I heard the word "Alberta." I feel Edmonton calling me.

TV Land has on their web site the top 5 Star Trek shows, at least their opinion of the best 5 Star Trek episodes. I agree with one of their picks, "City on the Edge of Forever" that episode would be in my list of the top 5 episodes of Star Trek. My list is as follows in no particular order:

1. The Balance of Terror.
2 City on the Edge of Forever.
3 The Trouble with Tribbles.
4 Piece of the Action.
5 The Naked Time.

They are showing all the old Star Trek shows on a local TV station here in Tampa. I have seen these shows a milliion times, but I can watch them again and again. If I could live in the Star Trek world, I would not want/desire to be a captain or anything to do with command, I would be a Science Officer, of course working in the astrophysics lab of the Star Ship. It would be so cool traveling the universe and observering all the different phenomena in space and working different research projects.

What is the nature of time? I have been thinking about time again and what is the relationship between the speed of light and gravity. When the speed of light or close to the velocity of light is achieved time passes more slowly, strong gravitational field has the same effect on time. In the presence of strong gravity, like a black hole, time also slows down. Why is time effected that way? Why is time not a constant? Why is time not like the speed of light? Why is time relative to the observer?

Einstein was the first person to start thinking about space-time, and the warping of space time by gravity. I have always wondered if you can warp space with gravity like space was warped in Dune. I have wondered if you can trade "the spice" for "gravity" and then bend space or fold space using gravity. I read a book a long time ago that wrote about experiments that the Navy was conducting using huge electo magnetics on ships and then passing the ships through the magnetic field, strange things happened to the ship and the people. That is about all I remember of the book. The warping of space-time is also the idea behind "Star Trek" the warp engines "warp space," thus the Star Ship is able to traveling faster then light. Maybe the relationship that time has between speed and gravity is space itself; resulting in the term space-time. I am only speculating , I am no expert, just thinking about what all the physics books said that I have read over time.

This person comes in the computer lab and what to print her paper, the conversation is as follows:

me: "what program did you use to write your paper"

person: "windows"

me: "no, what word processing program did you write your paper in"

person: " i have aol"

me: "did you use ms word to type your paper?"

person: "yes"

So I bring up the document in ms word(2003) and it interoperates the document as a text file, which means that it was NOT a ms document but some other file format. So some of the characters in the document are converted to nonsence ascii characters , and the person asked me "why is my document like this?" So I told her " you did not use ms word, but you used a different word processing program, so you have to retype part of your paper, and then reformat your paper," but I was nice.

Life in the 21st Century .

Well the world is going to end in a big bang or explosion of magma. I have seen a number of shows on supervolcanoes, and I watched another one last night on NOVA. Supervolcanoes are classified as volcanoes that can deliver the destructive force of a small asteroid, I do not remember the exact number but there are 4 or 6 supervolcanoes around the world. One is right in our backyard, under Yellowstone National Park. The last eruption by a supervolcanoe was 75,000 years ago; Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia and ejected 2,800 km^3 of volcanic ash into the atmosphere. That amount of material in the atmosphere will and did cause a world climate change, it is esimated that 1/4 of the poplulation ceased to exist.

Like I said before, Yellowstone is a supervolcanoe. The magma pit that is underneath the park is estimated about 35,000 square miles, and 5 miles deep. The last time that Yellowstone erupted was about 600,000 years ago. I have read and seen different stats on Yellowstone that states that Yellowstone has a cycle of about 600,000 to 800,000 years between eruptions. That last eruption was 640,000 years ago in Yellowstone.

What would my life be like if Robert would have been born? I have been thinking of the implications of that for a few days now, and I have arrived at some conclusions. If you have ever read the bith order book you know that the order in which you were born has a direct impact on your personality, and how you percieve the world. If Robert had lived the result would have been Hogrider would have replaced Blackwolf, then would have come Blackwolf, then Autotuner, but no MM-- I guess, not sure were the mother hen would have stopped laying egges. I think that there was another egg that did not hatch, but I am not sure were in the order of the hatching of the eggs that was.

On of the reasons that I do not mind being on my own, and the job that I do (I fit the IT personality traits, and why I desire to be an astrophysist) I believe is because I am the first born. The first born is the first in the world which results in the independence ( and to me I am a loner to a certain extent and I am not bothered by that.) of the person. Plus, the desire to do anything on my own, not relying on anybody for help.

Wikipedia
"The first born child will receive expectations and responsibilites from his or her parents. Because of this, many firstborns are in danger of acquiring perfectionistic or people-pleasing behaviors. On a more optimistic note, proponents of birth-order theory state that firstborns tend to be quite confident, controlling, diligent, mature and achievement oriented. Not all firstborns are over-achievers, but even the most laid-back firstborn is clearly guided by a need to do the right thing and strives to make a difference in society."

Anyways if I was the second born, then my personality would be modified to fit the second born in the birth order. The personality trait of a second born or middle child is:

"The classic middle-born is very relational, tends to be a people-pleaser and usually hates confrontation. Their basic need is to keep life smooth and their motto might be 'peace at any price'. They are usually very calm, will roll with the punches and are amiable, down-to-earth and great listeners. They are skilled at seeing both sides of a problem and eager to make everybody happy. That makes them good mediators and negotiators."

I have a hard time seeing both sides of the problem, but if I was the second child I guess my outlook on life would be different. I do have some of the traits of a second born though. I would probably not be working in computers( a loner job to a certain extent), and not wanting to understand the universe( the desire to be an astrophysicist). There is a part of me that wishes I had an older brother, but at the same time I am comfortable with who I am, and happy with my life.

How to Please Your I.T. Department

1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.

3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.

4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.

5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.

6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.

7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.

8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.

9. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.

10. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.

11. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.

12. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.

13. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.

14. Don't learn the proper term for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by "My thingy blew up".

15. Don't use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps.

I was looking for some old files and I discovered some pictures that I have taken a while back.
