well, here's a messed up one for all of you who are still out there reading. many of you have left for the summer - and well, some of you just plain don't live out here to start!
anyway, my question today is: why ask questions?
i've always loved to ask questions.. and i actually can't understand people who don't... which is unfortunate for me, i guess! and i don't mean... "to question" i mean "asking" - there's a difference.
in the first sense, i find that it means to undermine... you question what someone is saying to prove your own superiority. however, in the latter sense, you are striving to understand - to take ownership for the knowledge you have just acquired. i'll explain how to take ownership later....
but for now, i leave you with the above question!
take care - and i hope you all still have internet access!

a mild mix of common complexities, science, and opinions with a dash of insanity and an almost compulsive attention to detail... and i got bored of writing the rest... and if you feel like you've wasted your time by reading this blog - just remember, you choose how to spend your time.
who IS this freak?!
- your humble servant
- not much to say. or... so you hope!
books.
- ender's game
- hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
- leninger biochemistry

wow... shes alive!!
ahahah... alive is a relative term, teegan!
my heart's still pumping, unfortunately, if that's what you mean...
We question in order to reduce the diversity of the world into an illusion of identity thus placating our innate human desire to order and know, since fear is born from unknowning and disorder. What you need to truly realize is that order and knowledge do not exist in the way we classify them. They are simply as abstract as the things they attempt to classify. Thus we ask questions to comfort our pride that is damaged by the fear mystery creates. What one must realize, is that mystery is the heart of beauty, and must be not only cherished, but embraced wholeheartedly. Do not interpret this as accepting ignorance, but merely as respecting the truth beyond us; wisdom is the possession of knowledge married to a return to innocence.
wow, this is pathetic.
Warning: in 7 days (one week, or half a fortnight) Tamahaji's voice will have been silent for 2 months, or one sixth of a year. This sixty-one day span seems of only moderate length but it would account for 70% of mercury's year(87.96934 earth day year)! And when we accept only integer years(rounded up), it is a whole year that T-dog has not talked!
thats the ad campaign for the toronto star.
