Sometimes (like next monday) I Have to either be, or pretend to be, the Squirrel, wearing the fish hat.. what would you do, hmm?

We really need both of them.. to really communicate.. poetic, propositional.. I try to use a little more of the poetic language with math 119 students.. yeah.. "but what can (or will) I ever USE this for.." why can't you just enjoy the beauty of it.. A lot of times.. all I can say is.. I HOPE you will use this, in the next class.. or in an appropriate profession, like chemistry, physics..

sorry for the partial quotes. But those are what are speaking to me at the moment.. Poetic knowledge taking precedence over propositional knowledge.. some mathematicians call it geometric knowledge.. I think both have their place. They had to coexist at least at one point in time..

Some of the FINEST campfires and night owls, were immediately outside of my residence, a few years ago. the landlord allowed us to construct a nice fire pit in front, we were several miles outside of town..

sometimes I think we have to step up to that plate, so to speak.. to be or to become the author.. am I on to something.. or is it more of the same nonsense.. sometimes, all there is is a moment of clarity. Because of one of mine, I will NEVER shop at Wally Mart, ever ever again.. I can't mandate any of my supposed godly (or ungodly) ethics on any other living being, except for myself..

There are days.. I'm amazed I end up waking up on the top side of the dirt. well, amazed, no. maybe that does not exactly communicate what I'm thinking..

how about a description. Don't let it frighten you.. god is insane. still in control of sorts, but does he want to, or really want to be responsible for the results, or outcome.. just a question. take it as you wish.. Mathematical precision.. hah. I wish it were all so simple.. I really don't need convinced here.. I'm still a hundred percent faith.. well.. that's the way we (for the most part) have to live, or isn't it? sowy.. too many questions.. I tend to agree with Jewish Mythology.. mostly. something like *most* of divinity gave him(her)self to die for what we have or want in this existence.. where do we go from here..

If you don't mind me saying.. these are the best days of my life..

Excuse the colloquialisms.. I think all kind of weird *dang* happened when the Creator decided to be *real*. No Precision (exactly) needed.. I know.. weird.. it's a work in progress here.. I don't wish or desire to deny the Creator, or His wisdom, on one hand.. or the stupidy of the universe , on the other.. sowy.. Every time I look at the Light.. it isn't logic that beckons.. well, maybe partly.. or maybe some.. or maybe none. At all.. and it is still a good day here..

Inexactness does not bother me, even with metrics..

my initial thought.. the "inexact" numbers are "exact" if only in a different universe.. but they are (sometimes) exact here as well.. take a triangle with two sides of measure one.. the third side is irrational and thus unexact byj estimation even in this universe.. it is said.. some mathematician historical types say it is an old urban legend or something.. Pythagoras either strangled or drowned the guy who figured that out.. I tend to think it was more of a metaphor.. I don't think it is a man made universe.. more like a man(kind) perceived universe..

Well.. despite a few diversions, today was one of the best days of my life. How about you? thought this needed a new topic.. it originated elsewhere here.. Beatles, Spirit, old and new dreams..

the closest fulfillment in this life.. we were all assembled, some mixing with others.. dressed in black.. in my dream, we were all dressed in white.. weird.. it's like.. it was not even close.. then there are times.. sowy, I've said enough.. Well.. despite a few diversions, today was one of the best days of my life. How about you?

What's really weird, is looking at my hands. I'm the same as I was then, but parts of me have a few wrinkles they didn't have before.. there is only one dream left that I've had.. haven't seen it happen yet.. maybe it is on the other side of this reality.. I dunno.

Sowie. I didn't kill the thread. I just got drunk while reading it.. Mathematics isn't entirely real, at least the majority of the time.. mathematical exactness. hah.. well, it is real unto itself.. Sowie. I listed to White Album.. and 12 dreams of Dr. sardonicus on the lower side of a trip once.. they just keep coming back..

It's already been what.. three days? Maybe somebody could clue me in. 1. Who ended up playing.. 2. Who won, other than the winning advertisements? I'll eventully see them, the prize winning thirty second shots.. on, no other media than.. the internet..

Maybe it is eventually, one cannot get below their raising.. sometimes we try, and figure it's progress or something.. eventually a little message from our ancestors get through. Like.. it isn't really ok that a president died, even though he was of a party that was not "us".. whatever that is.. really. I remember this in the sixties. They absolutely despised what he represented.. so I asked the question. "So it is a good thing he is gone?" It scared the hell out of them.. they back-pedalled on politics like there was no tomorrow.. I'll never forget it..

Despite what it might look like from the outside.. the profession I've chosen this decade, has a very, very long leash.. I'm pretty much free to do what I wish. Well, within a few reasonable standards. however. The only real leash is the funding.. somehow math and science ends up, not "untouchable".. but still needed.. it's more like mopping up, helping the workforce in categories that participation in public k-12 schools have failed them..

I dunno.. I'd give it about six months before an annulment or something.. something about *uncle* howies roving, whiskey soaked tongue.. just doesn't seem very compatible with marriage or something like that.. sowie. Best Wishes to the young couple. :)

I wonder how the W family (extended and otherwise) feel about this. Have they been consulted? Oh.. forgot.. most of them are mark and avoid and all.. maybe I shouldn't say more in this regard.. I never met wanda. *uncle* (he's not really your uncle) howie.. yes, I met.. can't say much but he thought he looked good wearing a tool belt or something.. weird. Very very weird.. a marriage made in heaven? Maybe made in the other place? well.. like they say.. two "believers" can make ANYTHING work..

No starched white shirts for me. noooooo. Not my kind of playground.. Christ. The place I am working at extorts donations (for a good cause) from "employees".. to wear blue jeans on Fridays.. weird place.. where do you deposit your donation, if one only works Monday through Thursday???

I liked this about the Roman Catholics in Grand Rapids.. they were willing to acknowledge universal truth.. it's a big step in my direction.. I'm sure in a few others.. interesting..

"blackbird".. well, you are kind of contaminated, aren't you? sorry, can't help it.. universal truth and all..

Piggies get a place cued one song below this.

I dunno. It's a well lighted place.. I hope we always have a well lighted place..
