Looking at the past

I have been going through papers and getting rid of things I will never need.
what I find strange is that I find things that I was looking at in the past.
for example I have a print out of the description of my car, and a description of the automatic version, why was I looking at the automatic ? I do not remember.
I found phone numbers for many people I have lost contact with, CDs with my very old website on them, DOS 3.3, pictures from old instant cameras, all kinds of strange things, it is kind of fun.

 

Cleaning

What do you do with potentially valuable things that you don't want anymore ?
I have such a hard time deciding.
I cleaned my back yard yesterday, yes in the rain, and it was easy, I did not want the possum shit, so I got rid of it, I moved my plants around, mainly the pomegranate tree, I think someone tried to take it, maybe they were trying to find a key, either way they damaged the fence and made a mess. Anyway, it was easy to decide what to do with what, but at work I am faced with things like old toner cartrages that should be recycled, but I don't know how.
and another thing, why is there a ' in the word don't, as if you would spell "dont", and people would not know that you should have typed "do not", all this mess for the elimination of one space.
ok, it is apparent that I need breakfast now.

 

its raining

I think I might get to live in a rain forest even if I don't move.

I think I can smell viruses

I think I can smell viruses
I was wondering if anyone thought this was possible.
I was wondering if anyone else thinks that they can do this.

 

I am happy today

I LIKE MONKEYS

my brother emailed this to me, I have no idea who wrote it, or where he got it.
the subject was " My Favorite Christmas Story"
I hope you think it is as funny as I did.

I LIKE MONKEYS
I like monkeys.

The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that
odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to
look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.

I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His
name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really
bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed.
Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.

I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new
environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at
high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the
spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.

Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive:
they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead.
Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn
cheap monkeys.

I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my
room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked
like I had 200 throw rugs.

I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck.
Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys.

I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for
a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real
bad.

I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want
to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.

I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately
there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time so I had to change
them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so
it didn't all go bad.

I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to
extinguish the fire.

Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in
my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor
wasn't improving.

I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys and to use the
bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better.

I tried throwing them way but the garbage man said that the city wasn't
allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet
one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the
frozen ones.

I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My
friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like
them but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in
the genitals.

conversation

this may seem odd, but, ok, I just thought it was so funny I have to share.
I tried to get my sister to try a work out video, I have other friends that like it.
Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease (2003)
I have never seen my sister in so much shock, she kept saying what if my kids see it.
I kept saying "its not like that, they can watch it, they will not even know the point."
then she said that she can't make any noise, and I said it is really quiet except for that part where you slap your ass, and again my sister stopped talking in shock.
I guess I should stop trying, there is always some thing standing in the way of her working out, I would get her a TV and a DVD player for her little corner of the living room that she sleeps in, but I don't think it would help. I thought that this might motivate her to try, but I guess not, laziness wins again, but my mom says that she is loosing weight anyway, so she is on the road to recovery.

 

Making clothes

I have decided to start Crochet as an alternative to watching TV, any ideas of what I should make, it all looks so home made, it is kind of strange.
so far I have made a 10" square and it took most of a day.
the yarn available is mostly in strange colors, like shiny pink and drab grays.
I need to start making my own, anyone know how to make dies?,
I want to try purple cabbage to die the cotton I have.

Sink enamel flying off

The sink in my bathroom started to eject chunks of enamel.
I was watching TV and herd what sounded like boiling water from my bathroom.
I went to look and got hit with something, it took me a while to find it.
the sink was dry, I had not used it for about 14 hours, and it was just breaking and tossing chunks of white enamel into the air.
it was not hot, there was nothing going on under the sink, it was just breaking.
it did this for about an hour and left a black spot about 3 to 4 inches long and about 2 inches wide.
I think this is the weirdest thing I have seen in a long time, ok fine, the weirdest thing ever.

has anyone else had this happen to them ?
anyone know why it happened ?

I came up with something to do

Ok, I was reading a personal add about a year ago, and the person said in response to the question what are you doing with your life, that she was making the world a prettier place one room at a time (she is an interior decorator).
then over the weekend I am listening to the radio and some guy that says aliens put information in his head is talking about how we can save our planet from doom. He says we should all be using alternative power, and things like this, and that the aliens said they did not need to give humans any technology, that we have all we need already.

so I got thinking, I should start helping people one at a time to get them using alternative power, maybe if one person has it, the people around will see and want alternative power as well, at least I can hope.

so, if you own a house or think you can get away with it in your apartment, I will help you put in power and water systems that will make you independent, even if it is just one light and one outside water faucet, during any sort of utilities blackout, it will be really nice.

 

car

Ok,
I have been slowing down in my driving habbets for about 4 years now.
I thought that my car has been getting slower from when I got it, but today on the way to work it seemed just as fun as when I got it, maybe it is the aspirin talking, or the virus I just got over, but the car is not any slower than when I first got it.
I wonder how long this feeling will last?

what do you think ?

if I respond to a negative comment with
however good the solution "that is just not good enough" sounds, it does not really have enough technical details for me to complete the project.
does this make me a nerd, or just annoying?

Aeon Flux

Aeon Flux
seen the movie ?
oh wait, I have to wait for comments don't I ?

Ok, this was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
if you liked the matrix and gatica and paycheck, you will like this movie

and if anyone wants to go see it with me, I want to go see it again.
stop reading here if you don't want any clues about the movie.

the reason I bothered to type it out the last post is that I have never seen that sort of thing in a major movie before, so now is the time to talk about it.
with that said, if my post on dna bothers you, this movie might do the same.

 

DNA - cloning - formaldehyde

Ok, I hope this makes sense and does not bother anyone.
my "evidence":
first, some guy on the radio that was doing stem cell research claimed that DNA is what linked you to your cells sort of in the same way that symbolic magic works.
second, some guy that posted on the internet that claimed to be from future said that cloning is seen as a reproduction of graven images, something the bible said not to do.
last, a hypnotist and doctor does past life regression in order to fix current health problems in someone, he does not believe in past lives, but has seen how much this can help people.

the idea
DNA preserved by formaldehyde in your last body(s) is still there burried somewhere and is affecting you to some degree.
and I think that this explains why so many people in the USA ( a country that uses preservatives like formaldehyde ) are having high cancer rates and other no apparent cause health problems.

so to help your self, go find all your old bodies and get them cremated, and make sure to get rid of the one you have now when you are done with it, and what ever you do don't get yourself cloned.

thermal depolymerization machine

have you ever herd of this?
aparently it can turn organic matter into oil
how cool is this ?
more info can be found all over the place
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization

from that web site.

"Previous methods to create hydrocarbons from depolymerization expend a lot of energy to remove water from the materials. This hydrous pyrolysis method instead uses water to improve the heating process and contribute hydrogen from water to the reactions.

The feedstock material is first ground into small chunks, and mixed with water if it is especially dry. It is then fed into a reaction chamber where it is heated to around 250 °C and subjected to 600 lbf/in² (4 MPa) for approximately 15 minutes, after which the pressure is rapidly released to boil off most of the water. The result is a mix of crude hydrocarbons and solid minerals, which are separated out. The hydrocarbons are sent to a second-stage reactor where they are heated to 500 °C, further breaking down the longer chains, and the resulting mix of hydrocarbons is then distilled in a manner similar to conventional oil refining.

Working with turkey offal as the feedstock, the process proved to have yield efficiencies of approximately 85%; in other words, the energy required to process materials could be supplied by using 15% of the petroleum output. Alternatively, one could consider the energy efficiency of the process to be 560% (85 units of energy produced for 15 units of energy consumed). The company claims that 15 to 20% of feedstock energy is used to provide energy for the plant. The remaining energy is available in the converted product. Higher efficiencies may be possible with drier and more carbon-rich feedstocks, such as waste plastic."


I just thought it is a really cool thing, I knew it was possible, I just did not know that people were using them as much as they are.
