well. it certainly has been a bit of a while.

first: "What's with today, today?"

second: do you ever wonder why glass is clear?

_____is the blue i see the same blue you see?

______________________________what exactly is silly putty and what makes it so silly?

__________if i could leave my body where would i go?

third: the mosh pit. dark. hot. crowded. energetic. i push you. you push me. we all push forwarded. push push with a mean intention. don't get scrunched. can't control where i go. must not fall. try to pedal forward. step on. get stepped on. don't lose shoe. they want to push me into the ground. don't drown in the sea of people. death awaits. afraid. people don't die in these things too often? no. less afraid. someone fell. i hope he told his mother he loves her. dEd. they're helping. picking him up. "here buddy, we wanna push you like we wanna kill you, but we won't really." "thanks!" there's a shoe in the sky. "whose shoe is this?!" "mine! mine! pass it over here."

fourth: "In recent years, researches have calculated that if a value called omega - the ratio between the average density of the universe and the density that would halt cosmic expansion - had not been within about one-quadrillionth of 1 percent of its actual value immediately after the big bang, the incipient universe would have collapsed back on itself or experienced runaway-relativity effects that would render the fabric of time space weirdly distorted. Instead, the firmament is geometrically smooth - rather than distorted - in the argot of cosmology. If gravity were only slightly stronger, research shows, stars would flame so fiercely that they would burn out in a single year; the universe would be a kingdom of cinders, devoid of life. If gravity were only slightly weaker, stars couldn't form and the cosmos would be a thin, undifferentiated blur. Had the strong force that binds atomic nuclei been slightly weaker, all atoms would disperse into vapor." - Gregg Easterbrook, Wired Magazine, Dec. 2002
