Your 'except on Thursdays' is priceless! tongue
Reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Arthur Dent: 'It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays...'

But I don't really see how divinity as process is inconsistent with the second law of thermodynamics. I'm inclined to believe in both...

Dude, I've been talking about thermodynamics again - come check me out!

psychiatry - always offering a pacifier for the fire

I dislike american medecine - it's too aggressive.

the system breeds a style that is too vigorous for my health ........ american consumers walk into a doctor's office, put cash on the barrelhead and then expect the medecine to happen -...

nights of ice cream and beer

dreaming the dreams of a sclerotic englishman who frequented these parts - Paris and Alaska

mucking around in boats dreaming dreams and making them my own - inhabiting them - dreampiracy

the connection - the bridge between Albany and these significant parts of my pastpresent is unclear

anger - there is no bottom to it

emoting is generally over-rated -----------------> I end up in locations that are irrational

once down on my knees to growing plants
I prodded the earth with a lazy tool
in time with a medley of sotto chants;
but becoming aware of some boys from school
who had stopped outside the fence to spy,
I stopped my song...

Anger can seem like its bottomless, but I often find that it burns itself out. It can take a lot of energy to maintain a good old rage for any length of time, and I just don't even have the energy to sustain a slow simmer.

waldo_jeffers:
I love the quote!

Good luck with the teaching. I sometimes play chess with my housemate but He gets so competitive about it that it takes the fun out of it. All the same, I invariably beat him and he does tend to be a poor loser. He insists on telling me at length about how I got lucky and he had such and such a flawless strategy worked out. He doesn't seem to grasp that its really easy to work out a flawless strategy until, that is, you take into account the fact that your opponent isn't actually going to play into your hands by making all of those conveniently dumb moves!! biggrin

PS Thanks for your explanation of the depression and maths thing. I can see where you are coming from now and yes, it makes sense!

waldo_jeffers:
So how can depression help with mathematics (or how can mathematics help with depression)? I am just curious. I used to like maths and I have also had problems with depression but during my depressive phases, I was never able to concentrate nd for maths you need to concentrate.

I cut my finger on a wine glass

after having a violent discussion with my parents about what I was doing with my life

*fighting my way out of a corner*

and why

and how

*solving technical problems for a living - forcing my neurotic energy onto the page*
