*** 533 DAYS REMAIN ***
I just finished reading Art Spiegelman's Maus. And it's after immersing myself in a tale like that, that my problems in life seem pretty damn petty. I bitch and moan about how I'm too old to be where I am in llfe or how Nintendo doesn't makes games like they used to or how my co-worker "must have had his brain replaced with a soap carving (which I'm fairly certain is true)" But now, if only for a minute, things don't seem that bad. In fact, things seem pretty DARN good. I recommend Maus to anyone who, like me, needs to have a history lesson disguised as a form of entertainment.
So.....the counter.....yes.....
I sat down with my bills in one hand and my calculator in the other until I realized that this was kind of an uncomfortable position and ultimately not conducive to anything constructive. So I put my bills and calculator down on the table and figured out -- TO THE DAY -- how long it will take me to pay off ALL MY DEBTS. For the past few years, I've not had much of a creative outlet -- and I realize now that my muse is completely blocked by this black cloud of near-bankruptcy looming over me. So on June 2, 2006....I will smile.
In the meantime....
Galileo, Newton, Watt, they were geniuses all
Without them we'd be freezing in the dark at the mall.
James Joule found total energy remains the same
No matter what its form -- that's why it carries his name!
Chemical, electrical, potential, and heat
Radiant, kinetic, ooohhh....the list is incomplete!
They're always changing back and forth -- it's really quite a blur
Oh how could I? I forgotted nuclear!
Ride a barrel down the falls
Then cook spaghetti with meatballs
Really make your friends amazed
Nuke it with some gamma rays
Fly to Venus in a rocket
Put your finger in a socket
You may suffer from exhaust
But none of that energy is ever really lost.
So why can't we make a clean machine that moves perpetually?
Cause there's another law with which all energy must agree!
Whenever it changes form, it loses quality....
In other words -- Damn that rising entropy!
It's entropy, you see, that turns finesse into mess
A palace to a pigsty -- why it's simply scandalous!
Energy, once leaked, degenerates into watse heat
We must repeat, because of EN-TRO-PY!!!!!

Is that good or bad?
Either way it's intnentional. I thought maybe we discussed this but things are a little hazy right now. I admitted to journal stalking you?
Zinged indeed.
Look at what I'm wearing right now:
Not for your reason, though.
There's a JS I'm in love with.
That's twice now. I should go post that line in everyone's jounrals.
