bring the pain!

yea boyee. i gots one week to crank out a conference paper. i wonder if i'll get it out? we'll see. its not a big deal if i dont but still if i dont then i fucked up. i could fucking care less about going to a conference next sept anyway. i think i'm ready for a job-job. none of this student crap. i'm sure may will be here before i know it. i just applied for graduation today, thats what go me thinking

got on the bike today and ripped some wheelies!!! oh yea, i've been waiting for 6 weeks to do that again. riding with the brace is doable, no jumps for atleast 3-4 more weeks though. i feel like despite all the drugs i've done to cope with not being able to ride i finally got my fix. there is no subsitute for me.

i also got thinking today about change on a political scale. you know oil dependance and us abusing other less powerful nations for our own gain. whats it going to take to change? is it going to be people like us to buy hybrid cars and build energy efficient homes? nope, thats not going to do it. here is part of my reasoning. lets consider the political system an algebraic system of differential equations. this isnt too far fetched, afterall people make decisions based on prior knowledge (and outside input) much like a system of equations reacts based on prior position lets say, (and exterior forces). every system has a certian "inertia" value. like putting a can of warm soda in the fridge for 2 mins doesnt make it cold. it takes time, thats a temperature inertia example. the generic term is called a time constant but,.vzx

alright, so to effect major change there simply isnt much that can be done on a small scale. like adding an ice cube to the fridge to help cool down the soda. you'd have to fill the whole fucking thing with ice cubes and then still wait some time. so what i'm saying is we all got to ride this wave of shit because with the demographics of this nation i dont think there is enough people willing to change to even effect the system much at all. i hate to poke at the midwest but stereotypes exist for a reason and overall the people just arent educated enough. their world view is so closeminded they just eat whatever crap they are fed (and are happy). i was thinking about all this democratic effort these days and i think things are just going to swing back on their own. its the way the system is going to react to the war and the aftermath (from the world mostly).

damn i forgot what point i was trying to make. maybe something like pressing for change is good but its going to take a superhuman effort to effect a change in the world or that we'll change when all of the worlds oil is gone and we still have our alaskan reserve. i dont know why i felt like getting political tonight. i was just pissed because if someone invested the war machine tax dollars into alternative energy we'd probably have an alternate along with tons of other newer technology. i bet nano and microtech sectors gets a funding cut this year, along with the NSF and NASA. its a fucking shame and i'm angry about it.

if any hope exists, it lies with the proles. (something like that)
