Around the Corner

About a week ago I have an experience the has changed my perception of my own mind and skills especially when it comes to my car. One very similar to the one above. In truth this story is really not all that rare or

Of late an alarmingly high number of synthetic people have been bursting into flames in their hot-tubs…..No wait thats not right…..Don’t step in the Hot Lava Boy!

Oh the humanity. In a not quite Southpark-esque I am not asking people to pass gass to save their lives. The true causes of spontaneous human combustion are well documented.

Burning at the stake (Joan of Arc),

One of these may be a bad place to avoid combustion……

Or maybe one of these

See the traditional view of spontaneous human combustion is that the person caught fire without any external influence. This perception may be the ultimate failing in order to diagnose human Combustion. I see it this way, back in WWII if a shot you with a flamethrower and you caught fire that’s spontaneous human Combustion. You went from one moment when you were not burning to the next when you were. It is a dangerously slippery slope. With this logic at any moment we could all spontaneously combust. What then how do you go home that evening and explain yourself. Its like a kid who refuses not to play with gunpowder then comes home with his eyebrows burned off. PEOPLE!! Do you really think you are going to fool anyone all black and charred, they are going to know what you were doing. They are not going to care if you are a heretic who hears God in your head or if you are bad at parking planes. You were just another kid who couldn’t keep it in your pants.

Have you seen this man?

If so pray for a bucket of water.

The bi-weekly meeting of Spontaneous Anonymous has been changed to Thursdays at 7:45pm due to the fact that none of you will admit that they have a problem!   Flamers!   As usual traction beds are first come first serve. Nurses will be on hand to change bandages at the break. Its still bring you own skin graft month so maybe you will get lucky and meed someone new……….and you can ask them to donate.

From the Floor to the Ceiling

So today this cute comes into my computer lab and I can tell from the moment she looks at the board to see who is on duty that she is going to be lost. So I do my best to never look like I am actually in the room to do anything like my own homework when I see someone acting like this. I try and give off as much of the impression that I am only here because I have to be here as possible. Still many don’t seem to notice. I guess I could just be bad at it. I doubt that. This is when it dawns on me that the cute s are all in the math department now. Go figure why did I have to join the sweaty boys club of the computer science department when I could be swimming with the hunnies in math. Not to mention since my completion of Calc 3 and a number of discrete mathamatical structures I am completely done with math and never have to look at a math book again just apply it. But back to the subject at hand. I can remember when the world was such a big place that the idea of sticking my hand right up in the air and chanting help would have stood my hair on end maybe even caused a bead of sweat to come from my forehead (or the fivehead it is now) but no denying it I love to view the frustration and fear that so many of these student. I remember being there and they will remember it too once they have overcome it and are now able to stand up in the middle of a crowd and scream help!

So what does that make me now I guess a well balanced 20 something going to school in his spare time to recapture some forgotten youth and enjoy some of the frivolities that I didn’t enjoy when given the chance the first time around. Maybe that just makes me a bit more wise to see the past and still enjoy it. The past is always better revisited it. You don’t seem to like your life the first time around but in contrast the the differences in your life now its wild and wonderful.

To the best of my knowledge this is the kind of events in a persons life that get overshadowed by the current issues at hand. Homework, Test, Test, the lesson is packed away behind worry and work. Someday though it will with the help of other experiences push through and the hopelessly out of place will find the world more open…..or Spontaniously Combust….Bring water!  ;P

My new social passion that makes me less social with my friends is Twitter

Well not that I am going to go insane or anything but their sites is down and now I am cut off for a bit from having random discussions with people I don’t know. But that’s all the fun. its like a huge pointless forum chat-room via email. That’s the way it makes me feel anyways. It is also kinda nice to see other people freely discussing their good and bad moments of the day. Reminds me that I am not the only one that has to deal with nonsense everyday. Twitter is gold for this reason. Its simple innocent and honest like a blog. The best part for me is the almost completely mobile nature of the thing. Twitter keeps me grounded that is why I feel it is worth talking about its outage no matter how long.

At this point it is happening to me again today.  I can only assume that Verizon Wireless is causing me to lose my connection to twitter. The network is super fast but occasional loss of connectivity like this really drives  me mad.

After a fine day off from work and the opportunity to repair my computer that has been bandaged for a good couple of months. All that is left for the day is to breath someone elsew smoke and enjoy so fine local cuisine. By fine I mean terrible and by local I mean up the block from me.

That aside it is what I look forward to secretly each week. Well maybe aside from the smoke. Tonight will be, if we are lucky, the final playoff game between the Pens and the Flyers. This will only compound the excitement of the evening. 20oz and a fish sandwiche are all I can ask for at this point and our cute waitress will be bringing me those promptly.
