More broccoli?
For however stupid I am, I feel pretty good. You see, the world is a very big, physical place. As such, the *first* thing anyone should think about it is: don't run into things. It's that simple. Everything is made of matter. Don't hit it with your body.
And I'm pretty good at that. See, I have a bad memory. As such, I misplace *invisible* things. So that's something of an excuse. A person who misplaces invisible things will always have an infinitely better excuse than someone who misplaces visible things, i.e. their whole body.We had better hope there's not some law of the universe that we don't know about that blows everything up. Oh my.
Just think, what if there is some law in the universe such that a specific course of human history would then incinerate the earth after that that history happens?
I'm scared. What if my next movement could trigger that event? Wow. Someone help me. I . . . don't know if I should move my arm slightly to the right or not.But still, I am so stupid. Yesterday I found out a huge bill I tried to pay in June never made it because I sent it to my own address. Last Thursday I was waiting for my mom to get home from work when I found out she had been out of the country for four days. She had told me she was going to leave, and yes, I live in the same house as her.
But I don't run into things. And that is my consolation.

Maybe you did run into something, which then caused neurological damage, and right now you are overstating something unnecessarily obvious as a way for your brain to rationalize the situation by reaction formation, essentially disguising the fact that you did run into something?
Shame... so much for consolation... but we are all stupid, my dear Philip, we are all stupid. And that's as much consolation as the next person needs. We are all dust, and to dust we shall return.

hahaha all of us are stupid at times...

I hope that you're excited about this Small Physics Lesson:
1. Not everything is made out of matter. Photons, for example, are massless. However, they do carry energy and momentum so you can still be "bumped" by light pressure. (Solar sails, anyone?)
2. The laws of physics do predict the ultimate incineration of the earth. Unfortunately, this event will happen regardless of human history; it's entirely the sun's fault. Be confident that nothing you do will hasten or hinder the impending doom.
I'm not sure whether you're offering broccoli or asking for it.

The sad fact is not many people have seen The Emperor's New Groove.
"More broccoli?" is a quote from it.
Thanks for the facts on the photons! Although I did know the planet is doooomed.

*shrug* It could happen you know o_0
I'm quite behind on my reading of these blogs we call xanga. But I just came across this one and had to laugh. Because those are things I would do.
