This happens half often, i just had one of those thoughts. "well, this is my life. any thoughts?" and i think that i'd be wrong to be disapointed in any aspect in who i am, or what i'm becoming. I think it's a dangerous way of thinking, cause i'm not far from having a crash when my mind goes that way, but i won this time. And i think that i owe that win in part to listening to brick right now. Cause it's a great song. and it makes me happy.
5 reasons why i think i'm different.
5 - as a kid, during long rides in the car, if it was raining, i'd move my head around, so that through my eyes, i'd never see the tip of the moving windshield wiper cross with a telephone pole. i guess it was a game of sorts.
4 - if one is taking steps 2 at a time, in order to finish off on the top step (not take 1 step on their final) on the 4 different sets of stairs to residence, a person must innitially step on the second step of the first and third set of stairs. and innitially must step on the second step of the second and fourth through sixth flights of stairs.
3 - if two lines meet at right angles, there is no place that you could bounce a ball from, off both walls so that it ends up in the exact same location.(in a frictionless world, with no spin, just with the numbers, angles and stuff) i figured this while looking at floor tiles during my stats exam if you bank left side it's gotta go too far right and vice versa. prove me wrong dave.
2 - i like to cry cause my tears taste good.

i've been thinking about the prime numbers, and if you just keep in mind that it can't be multiple of 2 or 5, you could multiply 3 by 7 by 11 *13 etc. going up in primes, and you'll get a number which ends in 1,3,7 or 9. if it's 3 or 9, then the other number wont give you prime either. cause it'll be divisable by 3. if it's one or 7, then the other 3 numbers at least have chances to be prime.
ex: 3*7*11*13*17*19=969969. 969963 can't be prime either, but i would think there's a good chance 969961 or 969967 is prime.
This might be a step in the wrong direction.
There's a prime number that takes up hundreds of pages of digits, i would think if you added 1 to this number, you'd get a number which was devisable by nearly everything, cause the number before it would have to be simultaniously not devisible by so many different numbers. this has been my main theory.
1*2*3 = 6 -1 = 5 -> prime
1*2*3*4 = 24, -1 = 23 -> prime.
5!= 120, -1 = 119 -> not prime, 7*17.
6!= 720, -1 = 719 -> prime
7!= 5040, -1 = 5039 -> prime
I know that multiplying by the 6 and by the 4 was useless, cause with multiplying by 2, i know that when i subtract 1, it wont be divisible by any number divisible by 2. 9 would also be useless, as would any later non prime number. The only thing that i dont know how to avoid is the potential that a prime i havn't yet reached will be a factor of my product-1. This is the only thing that i've gained since grade 7.
sleep.
I wish my computer would work more consistantly. I havn't talked to anyone for a few days.
I love you too dan.
Thanks for pointing out my ignorance in an ironic manner aine.
I dont think "manner" is spelled correctly, i tried out maner, manor, and mannor, and they didn't look right either.
Who is the prince of darkness?
I dont know how things are with ashley, i last talked to her a week ago, on friday, and we were supposed to hang out that night, but she said she had to work, so we talked a bit, and it was mentioned how this wasn't really working out, cause we were both very busy. I'm home for close to a month for christmas, and soon after i get back, ashley is moving to sacremento to do nurse stuff. So i said i'd call her monday, and that we'd hang out a bit more, before i left, it sounded good. I called her monday, she was at the hospital, with asthma (sp?) problems. I then went out that monday, and got puzzled. And did stuff. I haven't called her since then, mostly cause i've been sick, and i wouldn't be able to do anything anyway. And now exams are right around the corner.
Chances are decent that i'll see her again, but i wouldn't put huge money on it.
Dan, since you seemed interested, i'll talk a bit about the beck show, he started off solo, with his acoustic, and he played a string of a third of about 8 songs, and just tied them all together, and everytime he changed songs, the croud erupted. which was sweet. after that, he played a song off midnight vultures, (i dont know the one cause i only own odelay) and he played it with just vocals and his harmonica, he'd sing for a little while, then play a riff on the harmonica, then sing again, beautiful. The he got his acoustic again, and played another song, and about halfway through it, he slowed to nothing, and there was a big hit on the drums, then all the lights came on (as oposed to just a spotlight on beck) and then the whole band was out on stage, and the song picked up with bass and an electric, it was solid. Very soon after that he played loser and the place went mayhem. The encore was Devil's Haircut and Where It's At. It was a great show. i had a great time, as did the people i was with. I still have to say that the dancing took the cake for me. I love beck dancing, he's got the best robot in the free world. no contest.
dave, thanks for your comment on my last post. I am currently inspired by it. But i'm not going to make a promise that i doubt i'll keep. That promise would be to try my best next semester, i just know it wouldn't happen. I want to do something though. To stay bright. It's lucky for me that i dont think marks are a sign of intelegence. that sentance might seem cocky, but try to see the truth in it. If i did think marks were a sign of intelegence, then i'd have lower self esteem, cause i know that i have potential to be a bright guy. And with marks being consitered, then i'm not using this potential. I need to find a way to remain sharp, and use the potential i've been given to do something that i'm proud of. I wish i knew what this goal of mine could be. I dont know which way it may direct me, but the only thing that comes to mind is the question that i answered on the grade 12 math contest, that mr taylor was unable to answer one day in class. I felt better about that question then i'd ever felt getting 100% on any test, or 90-something on any subject. If someone can come up with a goal or an objective that i can assert myself towards that can help me feel that way more often, that will use math in some way, then i'd love for you to let me know.
Thanks again for the comment dave.
in other news, last night (monday night) i got messed up, smoked a bit of pot, didn't feel it, dont know if i would've, i was too drunk. Made out with some girl, dont know her name. But i know she's a friend of saya's who i used to really like, and she knows ashley. I did manage to not have sex with this girl, which is good, cause it was obviously on the table. I think she wasn't that good looking, she had a body, and eyes, the eyes did me. frigging eyes.
more other news (sunday night). everyone should watch beck dance. He is so damn smooth. Sweet sweet show. beck rocked. so very well. I love concerts.

This used to be a 9th comment to the below post, but i started to ramble, so i made it a post.

Sweet, i just felt smart, it was nice. Someone called me a genious. There was a group of 4 people trying to work out a math problem, and with a piece of paper and a pencil and about 30 seconds i had them. i found that theta ranged from 0 to Pi/2 and that the radius was a function of theta and ranged from 0 to 2cos(theta). It made me happier then many of you will understand, one of you will for sure though. I've always felt that i'm smart, that i'm gifted, and when i think that i've lost that, it's not happy. I need to do this once in a while to stay me.
