Post #11- I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die...

Today turned out to be pretty good, despite the rain and having to work all day and then go straight to class afterward. A friend of mine introduced me to an interesting machine. Not your everyday machine- there a very few moving parts, however its cleverness surpasses even the most advanced machinery we have on this earth. For those of you unfamiliar with something called "perpetual motion" it would be best described as something that is once motion is caused it will continue to be in motion indefinitely. So with that said the machine works on two separate but important facts. 1. A cat always lands on it feet, and 2. buttered toast always lands butter side up. These two facts are understood by all. Combining these two "rules" creates a machine thusly dubbed as a "perpetual motion" machine. By strapping toast butter side up on the back of a cat we can see that on one side is the feet of the cat, the other butter toast. Applying the facts we know, with these two together the cat/toast can never land. The forces placed on the object will cause it to spin without ever being able to stop hence- perpetual motion. Here's a diagram:

Its amazing what technology can do these days. WARNING: Do NOT try this at home. Can cause severe vomiting, uncontrollable bowel syndrome, headaches, vertigo, and death to your cat. Also you will have wasted a piece of perfectly good toast after it is covered in one or all of the following: fecal matter, vomit, and fur.

So, as you can tell by most or all of the titles and some of the subject matter music is a large part of who I am. When I hear a song when I shuffle my iTunes Library (which is 22.56 GBs large) it takes me back to when I listened to it most. All it takes is any Dashboard Confessional song and I feel like I'm back in high school laying in my bed thinking about who knows what, probably self inflicted love sickness (you know how high school is). I think thats a powerful affect that shouldn't go unnoticed. One time my girlfriend told me the brain responds most to smell, which is true. However a song, at least to me, has the same affect. For example a wedding song. A couple chooses a wedding song and years after their marriage they hear that song and you can see the nostalgia. I know that at least when they were dating my parent's song was black coffee in bed by squeeze (and if you watch closely frankenstein is on the keyboard) I don't know why, but still. If it comes on the radio they seem all upbeat and what have you. I don't know just a thought. Whats your favorite music?

If you are one of my regular "readers" then you will have noticed that I changed the name of the blog. I realized there about a million Todd Blogs. This no bueno and unacceptable so I chose a more original one.

The other day for whatever reason we (my parents and I) got on the subject of the difference between going number 1 or 2. I think I may have asked when my dad came back and he said he didn't know, so... I just had to ask how didn't he know he was the only one there. Well according to him he's never really known and I don't know how he's survived all of his life never being able to distinguish between going number 1 and number 2. He seemed to be confused with who ever was in authority of deciding which would correspond with which number, and how did that person rationalize that decision. According to my mother whom explained it with this question "which do you do every time you go" and the answer she was searching for was go pp. "so thats number one" and my only answer to all this was "glad thats cleared up... I gotta go number 2". If you've ever wondered what its like to eat dinner with my family, there you go.

Well, I must sound like a broken record by now, but please please please, comment if you're reading I get like 20 page views a day, new post or not. So comment! Hope you enjoyed reading! If theres anything you'd like to know about or feel I could talk about that you (yes you specifically) would enjoy reading, or think others would enjoy reading comment, I promise you I will consider all suggestions/answer all questions! Thanks.
