Ice Cream and Smoke.

Yesterday, when I got back from youth group, I was too tired to blog the details so I shall do them now.

Youth group (girls): 8pm at Gen's house to practice for the dance item, which no guys helped in so....
Youth group (guys): 8pm at Justin's house to whatever.
I got there at about 8:05/8:06. When I knocked on the door, he was like "let's go" and they hopped in the car. I was like 'huh?'-expression. (they is Warren and Eddy)

We were going to the city and the discussion going on in the car to the city was:

Bubble Tanks Arena
Various career options
Various future accommodation options
My rubber band ball
'Science'

To sum it up I explained (mainly to Warren because he was most interested) the differnt weapons you can get in bubble tanks arena and stuff.
We talked about (more later) different courses.
My rubber band is now a nice size. Not huge, about 1.4x the diameter of a tennis ball but mine is pure rubber bands.
We talked about where we will stay in the future, the price, how many people. We actually discussed this more once we left the car and walked around the city where Justin (my lifegroup leader, if you don't already know) told us where he used to stay and stuff.

We walked through Melbourne uni discussing future courses and comparing universities.

When we walked through those veranda (however you spell it) areas of the cafe where a lot of people smoke, it made it even harder for me to breathe. I mean, TODAY I have:
1. A sore throat
2. No voice
3. Even more coughing up phlegm.

Speaking of phlegm, it used to be a dark green colour, now it has chunks of red phlegm. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. It's like dark red, maybe even a bit brown. The majority of my phlegm is still dark green though. :)

So the smoke made it even worse. But that's okay. Because we got ice-cream later. :D Thanks Justin!

Two scoops: Coffee and Choc chip.

Was delicious.

On the drive back there was a discussion. To summarise the statements it was like this:

Me: Do you think downys (those who suffer from down syndrome) are humans?
Warren: DUR!!!
Me: No really. I mean I don't believe they're not humans, they're just less of humans. For example if I was to walk up to a doctor and say "How many chromosomes does a human have?" He/she will say "46 in total" Then if you ask how many chromosomes a downy has he/she will say "48" with logic, downys aren't human.
Warren: That's just one characteristic of humans.
Me: How about ten toes? Humans are meant to have ten toes, if they don't, they're still human, just not as human.
Warren: What do you mean, NOT AS HUMAN!?!
Me: Well humans are meant to have ten toes-
Warren: But what if they don't? What if humans evolve into having 12 toes and everybody with 10 toes die out. Then some guy says "Some 'scientist' said humans are only meant to have 10 toes. What a retard" in the future.
Me: Prove we will evolve into 12 toes.
Warren: Prove we won't.
Me/Eddy: DNA contains coded instructions on what to do.
Me: Your DNA will instruct your cells at a certain stage of fecal development to release a poison to kill cells, which will make four cuts through your foot, hence, five toes. If there is a NEGATIVE GENETIC DISORDER, you may have 12 toes. Even if your wife has 12 toes too, your kids have just as much chance of having 10 toes as a child another child whose parents both have 10 toes.
Warren: Don't talk back. I was right about my elements theory.
Me: That's because it's physics and you do physics, me and Eddy to bio, and toes is BIOLOGY. When it comes to biology, listen to the biologists, not the physician.
Warren: Without physics, there is no biology.
Me: Without biology, there is no Warren.

We had another discussion inside Justin's house about the elements idea. In which Warren got owned on several occasions. His theory was ok though. Just had a couple of flaws.

Warren and Eddy got picked up. I called my dad. I got picked up. I got home. I slept.

PS: The acronym for Ice Cream and Smoke is ICAS. (Maths inside joke). :)

For the sake of it.

As I sit here, studying methods, skyping with friends and the occasional round of bubble tanks arena. YES, BTA is out. I think it came out a couple of months ago....July? Well it's awesome. Google it. It's be hero interactive. I'm lovin' it.

The game, not McDonalds.

So as I sit here, I realise, 'today I have not blogged yet' well that's not really a problem on it's own as I don't NEED to blog. But then again, if I want to maintain a healthy active blog (which is weird since at the moment I need to maintain a healthy active body, which I'm going to go for jogs with Jon Tan and Joel Wu to do it. xD) then I need TO BLOG. The same principle goes with piano, bible reading, masturbating, methods, any other subject, shitting, breathing and of course, sleeping. If you want it to be maintained, to it often and well.

I kind of feel ashamed of myself, that my priorities are going to my blog, but oh well. I may as well get on with it.

So today my classes are all insignificant, compared to what I had period 5, my unit 3/4 Psychology SAC. Well in music, 'Auralia' has gotten so boring, it's just like....REALLY boring. Words cannot describe how boring it is. Oh wait, I think I did a post on that, yes I did. 'Boring' is a good word to describe it. It's not killing me, and I can do it with ease, it's just boring. Simple word, perfect word to use. There, there's a word. :D (The gayest 3 lines on my entire blog).

So I listened into the year 12 chord progression dictation. One, One, Four, One, Five, Four, One, Suspended fifth, Seventh, One. Blah blah blah....

VERY interesting. And I'm not saying that in comparison to the auralia although it is ESPECIALLY interesting in comparison to the auralia. (To those who don't know what auralia is, it's simply a program that tests you on pitch, rhythm, chord, anything to do with music in any way. Very good program. Very boring when you sit there by yourself for 45 minutes). I'm saying it because it was, genuinely interesting.

PSYCH SAC. The last part. And this is where I'm in the shits. Because this is how it goes. We had a psychology experiment which took up one period. We are given three more periods to write up the experiment in the form of an ERA (I should what this stands for since I'm doing Psych 3/4 but I don't...I accelerated and I'm lazy. Oh wait I think I remember....empirical research analysis. Is that it? Meh.)

I found that out today. Three periods to write. I read on the sheet earlier on that week, "Four periods for this task" and assumed it was four periods of writing up. How perfect. FOUR. But it was not perfect. Oh no. It was very unperfect as three is very un-four-like. On the double yesterday I compelted about 55% which is more than 50% which means I'm on track. I'll just do 25% today and 20% on the last period and I'll be done. Yesterday, when I handed in my thing the teacher was like "Tomorrow go to S9, your last period". WAIT...WHAT?!?!

So here I am today, In S9, with other psychology 3/4 students that missed out on a class period due to the chemistry aquarium excurstion, HHD (Health and Human Development) students and physics students. I don't know what they were doing. Just some tests and SACs, probably.

I wrote non-stop. I had to cover almost half of the rest of my SAC in 50 minutes. The pages I used for writing ended up being nine. A good 4 pages of that was today. 50/4 = 12.5 minutes per page. My hands were hurting so much, I....Actually they weren't hurting. They were just tired from writing furiously for 50 minutes. It was liek I was in detention, but I didn't notice the strain. I guess I was too busy concentrating on something that will affect my ENTER score to notice unimportant things like that - The human body.

While on this topic, let me explain one of my philosophical views.

Let's say a friend, acquaintance, sibling, relative, husband or even pet of mine tripped over, and cut himself/herself while falling through a window, shattering it.

The human body will recognize the bleeding, send of certain cells to scab, heal and repair itself. It will send over white blood cells to consume any small fragments of glass to destroy it, etc. The window is not so sophisticated. It is just a window. And without it the room will get cold. So repairs are neccesary. This will cost money, unlike the awesome human body. I'd be more concerned about the property damage, regardless of who fell through and who owns the property, philosophically. In reality...I would laugh then help up the injured, then mourn for the broken glass.

After the SAC (which I completed, double-checked and was satisfied with what I had done), I went to charcoal chicken with Joel Wu where we shared some chips and a drink. Halfway through, some bratty asian kid about 6 or 7 years of age, I think, came in, in his primary school uniform, whinging. He ran over to the drinks fridge and motioned for his mum to get him a coke. "Sorry honey, No coke."

He made such a big fuss, it was approaching the point where it was more annoying than background noise. He didn't speak english, and I couldn't recognize any chinese, if he was speaking in a dialect. He was speaking gibberish. "Aeeaegheoeaoggghhhhguhghbibbubwehh" In my head, 'Yeahhhhhhhhhh....He's probably special'. Speak of the devil, guess what Joel Wu said out loud? You guessed it! (Or if you read his blog at stupid-latin.blogspot.com you would know anyway so it wouldn't REALLY be a guess, now would it?) "I think he's a BIT special." I looked at Joel, staring at him trying to communicate 'His mum is right behind you'. Joel didn't understand. So I focused my eyes into the distance behind him while angling my head a little bit to imply where I was looking at. Then back at him. Then back into the distance. Repeat. He didn't get it. So I moved my hand noticeably but down low pointing in his direction then once he looked at my hand, he looked at me. Then I looked into the distance. He turned around. "OHHHHH" "Meh." That's Joel for you. xD

The mother probably thought the same thing anyway. LOL!

After charcoal chicken, Joel's dad took me home as it was raining. Thank you Mr. Wu. :D

Then I did my usual shyte.

Mmmm....'nights.

My views on fascism.

Besides Fascism, I like communism too. Does this make me a totalarian? Perhaps, but so what? To me, communism is ideal, fair, ownage, etc. Fascism is ideal and effective creating an ultimate world. Unfortunately our world generally dislikes fascism and especially in Australia. I mean, with SUPER effort I could try and might be able to convince some mobs, etc. But in the end, it will be very difficult to convince the world to allow me to go ahead with my plans such as mass farming stem cells, aborting retards or babies with mutations. And some hardcore fascists may take it to the next level and kill off who they don't like, like Hitler. This is not my style. Racism is pointless to me. The majority would hate me and overthrow, if for some impossible reason I did manage to take charge. However, in my world I wouldn't be the leader, I'd be in a lower level doing my part in the fascist world.

I love communism too and the main problems with fascism is that it is infamous. In a vote of communism versus fascism I would vote for communism as I know fascism has already lost by miles.

Both are good, and I support both. Some will say I can't but meh.

COMMUNISM FTW
FASCISM FTW

Goodnight.

Humans are selfish

Humans are selfish creatures. We tell ourselves "I giving my lunch to a person I dislike in my class even though I dislike them and I am hungry and want my lunch for myself" ...only to make us feel good about ourselves. To BELIEVE we are unselfish.

All our actions are done ultimately to make us feel better about ourselves. Or maybe we feel satisfaction if we feel depressed. It's still satisfaction. Humans are deep down selfish after all. No, not just deep down but all around selfish, Ahaha.

In the end, everything we do is voluntary and so it is selfish. And don't say those paralyzed people or retards who can't control their actions because then they don't aid society and merely consume others' time and resources and so they are being selfish and should just do something productive or die.

The difference between selfishness and unselfishness is that unselfishness is SELFISHNESS but not only acquaints the individual's satisfaction but others' satisfaction in the process.

Humans are selfish.

Murder is neutral

There is nothing bad or wrong about murder itself. The only reason why we consider it to be is because somebody or something else tells us so or perhaps because most of the time there are negative consequences and so we associate them as one thing and generalise all murders to have negative consequences following.

Murders and killing are not bad things. They can only be judged (just like every other action) by the negative consequences that follow. I slit an old lady's throat, the blood goes all over my couch, it makes a mess that needs to be cleaned up. Is that a negative consequence? No.

Then what makes a consequence negative? For a bloody couch is a consequence as a consequence is just a second event that follows a first event because of the first event. Human emotion is what makes it negative. If 1,000 cows go through torture, I do not see what is wrong with it, it is NOT 'unethical' as some people put it, it's merely 1,000 cows going through alot of pain. So what? They're not human. Yes, they can feel, but so what? They're COWS.

Some use the analogy, 'Then what if a more intelligent and physically stronger race captures you and treats you like an animal, torturing you and running experiments on you. How would YOU feel?'

Well technically I AM an animal compared to them. Just like a cow is less intelligent than me, so am I to this superior race. So them doing that to me is wrong on human terms but neutral on their terms. Just as torturing cows is bad on cow terms but neutral on human terms. Make sense?

To answer their question, 'I would feel similar to the cow, just on a higher scale. I probably would know the torture going on, just as the cow would but I won't be able to escape, just like the cow. I probably would not know why they are doing it but they probably have good or better reasons since they are more intelligent than me.' As humans, human emotions are used as the judge for the positivity/negativity of a consequence.

The blood on the couch is merely a consequence, say I LIKED to clean my furniture. It made me feel useful and happy, then the bloody couch would be a positive consequence as it made me happy and therefore the killing of the old lady is positive.

Once the old lady is dead, she cannot feel and therefore the 'You're taking away life from a living thing' arguement is redundant. Simply because it will be NO LONGER LIVING! Too many people see humans as people of infinite value or a value you cannot put a number on. Humans are merely comodities. There are over 7 billion humans walking this earth. 7,000,000,000. That's alot. Humans are not rare, a few of them killed shouldn't make much of a difference. Humans are SPECIAL, why? They are just a bundle of psychological mechanics, aren't they? Humans are overated. We're just chunks of intelligent organic matter. And we're not that rare.

If the old lady had no friends and no family then the killing of the old lady would have ultimately been a positive action. 'Good' as somebody could put it. Of course in most cases, killing somebody would cause many many tears and a lot of emotional pain. A clearly negative consequence.

If there was a 13 year old schoolboy and you stabbed him to death while you and him were alone, that is a very bad thing to do, because he will be experiencing pain. The moment he DIES however, it is merely a neutral act, the murder, I mean.

Once his classmates find out, the murder once again becomes a negative or 'bad' action. Once you kill the classmates too, it becomes neutral once again. This chain reaction will echo throughout the school, into the families and eventually all over the world. If somehow you managed to kill all humans (except yourself of course) the first murder, and all the murders are neutral. It is EXTREMELY bad, because of the pain all the humans would have to endure.

But if somehow you did it and now they are dead, the deaths are in the past now. It is all neutral. HOW CAN THE EXTINCTION OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATIONS, A WHOLE SPECIES DONE BY ONE MURDEROUS MAN BE A NEUTRAL ACT?!?! many will ask. Well, WHY is it bad? Because I'm wiping out an entire species? Pfft, so what? Stop assuming I share the beliefs you do, EXPLAIN to me WHY it is such a bad thing!

Don't use religion on me, religion cannot be proved with facts and solid evidence and so all religions will have to be taken into account, even the non-religious humans.

Why is murder is an innate belief that ALL humans naturally resent?
For the continuation of the human species, of course. That is fairly obvious. But I see nothing wrong with the extinction of humans. Anyhow, BACK to murder....

The only reason we consider murder wrong is because in most cases negative consequences follow and so we group them as one and generalise that to all murder cases.

Take for example the holocaust. Yes it was a 'bad' thing. WAS. Now it is a relevantly good thing, what if it never happened? Then what? We wouldn't exist. An alternate timeline would have occured. There are many good things that came out of the holocaust.

Take for example, me. This is my blog, I wrote all the posts, I wrote this post. And how about YOU, you're reading my blog. You exist. Probably wouldn't if it weren't for the holocaust. It is in the past, the pain is over. We cannot change the past, we can only view it in a positive or negative way. If we view it as a negative event, it will impact our emotional state negatively. Be optimistic, it's not that bad afterall, right?

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger and if it does kill us, who cares? We can't, WE'RE DEAD! Bahahahahaha. In the end, everything will end up positively (y)

Murder is not as bad as people make it out to be.

Hitler

During english a few days ago, my english teacher, Mr Bates said that Hitler was definitely and completely bad and in the wrong. I must disagree. I see the problem with Hitler, he killed millions of jews in an attempt to wipe them out completely. But so what? He had a dream, a goal and he went for it, he tried with all his effort.

He's better than most humans. The actual goal itself is just the details. Most humans don't go for goals as enthusiastically and passionately as Hitler did. How much better would this world be if everybody was like Hitler? The determination and the commitment to individual goals would make this world so much better, wouldn't it?

I look up to Adolf Hitler, I aspire to become more like him. Not in wiping out jews or attempting it, no. But I want to have his consistency in what he pursues.

Hitler may have killed millions of people but so what? People are just comodities, I see nothing wrong with murder. (refer to next post)

In conclusion, Hitler was just another average Joe except he pusued his dreams and they coincedentally fell into mass murder.

My thoughts today

If we examine the concepts and trace the imagination that ran wildy in my grey matter today, we will soon realise it is just a handful of random thoughts that are either philosophical, perverted, musical or plain boredom.

Psychology = Boredom
As in it was so boring, the content. It was last year's (psychology units 1/2) stuff however I accelerated straight into units 3/4 so I shall have to read over the stuff at least 5-10 nights before the SAC to drill it into my head.

Music = Musical
Not just the obvious but I understood heaps and got my head around alot of music theory today. 7th chords + inversions + naming then and labelling them the iv or IV or IV6/4 or whatever. I UNDERSTAND IT NOW! xD Well I sort of did before but meh not completely. Jazer is better though :/ Must beat him >=D Nah, jks, he's Jazer.

Biology = Philosophical
Not the subject but as I daydreamed I realised those ideas that were impossible to put onto paper WEREN'T impossible to put down on my blog and so I shall write about what I thought on my next post.

Recess = Perverted
I thought about the human centipede trailer I watched last night and I was like I wonder if they used their tongues to lick the person in front's asshole. I was like, AHAHAHA imagine all of them doing that if it was like a 20-person-circle-chain-human-centipede.... then I thought then they all shat while experiencing orgasms....my mind is sick....:/

Oh yeah and I started putting up stuff on my wall, I did some sleep stuff so far and I allocated which walls, doors, etc will go for which subject. =D For those of you who don't know, I'm covering my room walls, doors, etc in pictures, diagrams, tables and flowcharts of chemistry, biology, music, methods, english and psychology. Pretty much all my subjects, ahehehe >=D

On with the next post about philosophy....and if you're lucky, TWO.

Ice Skating (+Lifegroup)

Woke up at 9:50 and was like ugh....whoa, I have to pick up Ben at 10:15. So I got dressed, breakfast and all that, by 10:10. Then the phone rang. And my mum talked on it till 10:20 at which we picked up Ben. We got to the station and we weren't late, so it was all good.

Glen station: Me, Ben, Jack, WezR, WezUng, Amanda, Brenda, Josh, Jeremiah, Annie

At flinders street station we went to McDonalds where we met up with Ada and Wendy, but they left after that.

Then we took a tram to Docklands, Icehouse and went in. It costs $20.50 for the concession entree+Hocket skates (better than normal skates unless you're beginner, then normal skates are more suitable).

I got size 9. It was too small. I went back and got size 10. The left skate was perfect, the whole day. The right one took ages to put in and REALLY hurt my right foot. So after about 3 or 4 laps I went out and redid, loosening the skate. This time, it was still too tight and one certain point. After going back onto the rink and coming back out to re-do, I settled with this: ALl the laces loose (not excessively) except the very top lace (farthest from my toes), and THAT lace was done up tightly. So the whole skate was wobbly in a way, but it was adequate.

Ice skating was fun. Shana came late but she came. Toward the end of the session, we got the opportunity to play with the PENGUINS. =D =D =D.

...and so we played with the penguins. Passing them to each other and pushing each other on them. xD

After that we took a tram to DFO. But then we got off randomly and went to Gloria Jeans instead and then climbed a random giant black bunny statue. Then we walked to a playground where we played on the playground and took group photos on (and in) these large metal circly ring things.

After which we actually WENT to DFO (via tram) and then walked around. Annie was anxious her mum would kill her, which made the fact funny that she missed the train back to Glen Waverley because she was behind us about 20 metres? Lol...so she caught the next train. On the way back to Glen Waverley, Brenda confused Mount Waverley for Glen Waverley and got off. The funnyness could only be matched by Amanda yelling at her WRONG STOP COME BACK. xD

Once back at Glen Waverley, we split up (those that were still there, people like Jack took a different route home). Annie went with her mum. Umm....Amanda/Brenda/Josh went with.... one of their parents, I think...

Me, Shana, Wez, Ben and....Wesung, AND JERE, went for dinner at Glen. But I had no time, so I called my mum to pick me up instead.

So my dad picked me up. And.....I went home. Quickly checked facebook, said BRB to Joel Wu, had dinner, had no time to go back, went straight to lifegroup. Sorry Joel....I did not be right back. D=

Lifegroup was fun, me, Simone, Warren, Eddy, Justin, Corinna, and two of their relatives staying at their house that were in the kitchen next to us but not joining in so they don't really and I don't know their names either so yeah, I won't count them.

We played Taboo. The teams were Me, Simone and Warren one TEAM ONE. And Eddy and Corinna on TEAM TWO.

We one (won) 20 to 17. =D
I like that game. =]

Then we had this EPIC philosophical discussion (that was unfinished) on the justification of actions. We are yet to finish that >=D

Then I called my dad, he picked me, I came home, he went to sleep, I'm on the computer blogging and the rest of my family aren't home which is weird since it's 12:47. OMG, just as I typed that, they knocked on the door and I just let them in. They brought back cake and pineapple tarts, mmmmm....pineapple tarts.

So now I am blogging while eating cake.
Tomorrow I shall hardcore at least 8 hours on psychology.

10 words to describe today:
-Fun
-Happy
-Satisfying
-Awesome
-Philosophical
-Worthwhile
-Rare
-Memorable
-Packed
-Socialable

Today would be one of those days I will remember for a while. xD
...and to think I contemplated staying home and studying.

And to top it off, I get an awesome 10 hours sleep to perfect it, JK, I have to wake up for chemistry tuition tomorrow. FML.

Goodnight.

Love is Chemistry

Yes, let the 'chemistry' begin. Chemistry can also taken as a metaphor for love. ALL kinds of love.

Love between a boy and a girl is like ionic bonding. One person COMPLETES the other. If one partner is sodium (Na) and the other is chlorine (Cl) then they are compatible, since one needs to gain electron and the other needs to lose one electron. However, at times it may seem they are compatible as one may need to gain 2 and the other to lose 3. But you will end up with one too many electrons (relationship issues) and it will go nowhere and you both will fail and the relationship will fail. In the same way if one needs to gain 2 electrons and the other needs to lose 1. The first person will feel something is missing and will 'break off' (break up) from the other electron. Those who are looking for a perfect guy or girl will never find one for them as the perfect partner has no problems and no needs and therefore is already compelte. For example Xenon, Neon, Helium, Argon. All these have a full outer shell and will NOT need you since they are already perfect and complete. Some people just don't understand this. Just because the perfect guy/girl does not work with you, does not mean they are not perfect. They are just as perfect as you are, except they are already complete and you've gotta find that special cation or anion to compelte you <3. Argon electrons are the singles that live their life single. Hehe....

Friendships are covalent. It is the sharing of electrons which represents having something in common, for example a hobby such as LANing or dancing or soccer, etc.
These mutual activites are the shared electron. You can have more than one friendship because you can share with more than one electron. You may get small peergroups such as Ozone which is like a friendship threesome or perhaps cyclohexane, a large friendship group. Maybe you even have such good friends they seem like family, these are diamond friendships. Not because they're valuable, no, even though they are. But they are diamond because:
-They are rare
-They are valuable
-They consist of a 'network' or friendships
-It is super strong
They may seem like family because of the strength but later I will explain what family relationships are really like.

Acquaintance are friends which aren't REALLY friends. That random classmate at school you say hi to maybe once a fortnight and have a small chat to occasionally. You're friendly with them but they're not close enough to REALLY call them your friend. These are dispersion forces. They occur between particles. Between atoms. They are not as strong as covalent and can break easier. Nevertheless they can hold together a substance quite well. The larger peergroups (hydrocarbon) are , the more acquaintances (dispersion forces) they have between other peergroups (neighbouring hydrocarbons). And the stronger the substance is in general. Social groups that consist of numerous small groups (methane) boil easier because the dispersion forces are weaker. However, with LARGE peergroups (octane) it takes alot more tention between friends/atoms before the substance will boil. Large peergroups easily form more acquaintance (dispersion) bonds with other peergroups, than smaller peergroups that tend to just hangout by themselves.

Hydrogen bonds are the bonds between a hydrogen atom and a nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine or chlorine atom. These bonds are covalent (friendship) and are the strongest because the hydrogen only have one friend. (nawwww =[) They get too attached to that one friend and seem to connect to that sole person only. That is why it is the strongest. Consequently the person with one friend (the hydrogen atom) tends to be weak in their personality and that is why they are so small. (hydrogen is the smallest atom). These bonds are super hard to break, but still possible.

Family relationships are like metallic bonds. The WHOLE family are close together and they share the delocalized electrons (food, money, water, shelter, house, etc)
When one family joins with another family it is called an alloy. These are not as metallic and familyish as the properties of the metals are not as significant. For example metals are malleable as in they can be shaped with a beating or rolling. This resembles a family being moved around or seperated with a beating or rolling (events such as financial difficulty) yet the family can still hang on. Families are lustrous as in they can be reflective and 'attractive' when freshly cut or polished. This means that families can be quite fun when everything is going well. When two or more families merge (alloys) this is rare and significantly reduces all the metallic properties. Metals have a high melting temperature and are hard to seperate. This is because it takes a LOT of tention to split up a family. Families are alot stronger than friendships and bf/gf relationships, etc. Families are also good conductors of electricity, meaning they can handle issues and tackle hurdles as a whole.

As a side note, ionic substances when dissolved in water can conduct electricity too =]. Work it out for yourself. ;D

I hope you enjoyed my metaphor on love. This is also my chemistry revision. Let's hope it improves my chemistry mark for my chemistry exam tomorrow. =D

Good luck to those doing their chemistry exam tomorrow,

Bye and hope my metaphor helped many, many, atoms. ;D

Understanding the universe

The things (from a human individual's perspective) that are most important are social factors. How we (as a human individual) interact with the world around us. Even if you're 'unsocial' you'll still interact with the world and even if not that, You will think. And if you don't think, then I got nothing to worry about as you wouldn't be reading this post on my blog.

Sociology makes up what is important to us
Sociology is applied Psychology
Psychology is applied Biology
Biology is appied Chemistry
Chemistry is applied Physics
Physics is applied Mathematics
Mathematics is applied logic
and logic is something I excel at...=D

That's another reason why I took bio (refer to previous post)
So yeah, if you master logic (which is impossible but IF) then you will understand the universe (in everything that is logical) to those things that are illogical, too bad.....

Logic FTW

Sunday Sundayness

so I woke up, as I do on sundays
then I got ready for church, as I do on sundays
then I went to church, as I do on sundays

then I came home, as I do on sundays
then I did 1 hour piano, as I do on most sundays

the next part will not be in the same format as the above, but rather, in a I don't know, uhhh uhmmmm some other kind of format xD

I watched doctor who, which.was.EPIC I love the weeping angels they are SO AWESOME >_< ^_^ =DDDDDD

seeing me and my bro's aran get stronger was also a + of my day

OH YES, that's right *remembers the thing he was going to say on his next blog*
Just a reminder, I will NOT be posting study/revision notes anymore, on this blog (not that I ever did xD)
main reason: other's +'s = my minus due to the VCE ENTER system of comparison
it's selfish, but it's logical. And unselfishness loses to logic in the race of survival. Of course, if you have no friends then you're surviving but are you REALLY 'living?' (philosophy xD)

solution: I study with friends. And we provide each other notes, becuase the minus the friend inflicts upon me is very small compared to the + i get from studying with them. And that is even more logical

friends + ENTER= WINNN

So yeah, anybody that wants to study with me, whether physically or virtually can. Your house, my house, msn, skype, library, school, some other location that is yet to be stated, doesn't matter. I study psychology 3/4, methods 1/2, music 1/2, chemistry 1/2, biology 1/2 and english 1/2. ^_^ anybody?

It doesn't matter what school you go to, So....YAH!

*girly gesture*: "call me"

What came first? The chicken or the egg

So today me and Matthew Julius, a philosophical genius, were talking it up over msn regarding as he phrases it, "The somethingest (largest, biggest, deepest?) question of linguistic (hope that's how you spell it) philosophy" which is "What came first? The chicken or the egg" I instantly went on to answer his question which I shall modify and evaluate even deeper here:

As the smartass (smart alek?) says "Chicken begins with C whereas Egg begins with E therefore chicken comes before the egg" This is true.... but not my response, the following is my response:

When we examine this 'paradoxial' question, we shall soon realise, its not very 'paradoxial' because if it was, it wouldn't happen and the universe would explode (or would it? I'll leave this philosophical blog for another time ;D) but it didn't.

This is the 'paradox': The chicken lays the egg, so the egg can't exist unless a chicken existed prior to the egg. But the egg hatches into chicken, so chickens can't exist unless an egg existed prior to the chicken. So which came first? Easy. The chicken did.

The chicken can create eggs without the help of eggs, however eggs need chicken (for warmth, growth) for them to hatch into chickens, so eggs can't become chickens unless there are ALREADY chickens there to 'egg them on' hur hur hur, I guess that's where the term comes from =D

To substitute this information into an actual scenario, if there were 200 eggs, they would all die from no warmth, but if there were 200 chickens they would breed and warm the eggs. You could argue, this doesn't explain where they come from but that is not the question, you could also say "how about if an external factor warmed the egg?", but if you bring in external factors, it gets super messy.

This however, did not satisfy Matthew Julius' question regarding linguistic philosophy, I am no expert, nor will I attempt to quote what he said, so 'refer to Matthew Julius' for further information.

Chicken.

Fishing

So today (5/3) (yes I am writing this late (12:18AM) past midnight) but it still was 'today'. Speaking of that, think about it, is 'tomorrow' past midnight or when you wake up 'the next day'?

If you go to sleep before midnight and wake up in the morning, it makes no difference and such philosophical questions need not be discussed (but it's philosophy, so no question really 'needs' to be discussed but it's fun and helpful =D) I, personally, see it as the next day as hours are merely an artificial measurement of time. However, days, are not. I'll probably discuss this in future posts to come but back to the topic at hand, FISHING

So I woke up at 5am and went fishing on a boat with my dad and his friend (family friend). We had several bites each but in total only 2 keepers, both flathead. I don't see the details of fishing that blogworthy so I won't go into that much detail. Afterwards had BBQ and finally come home at 6pm (or somewhat around that time).

Yeah..... I also will be posting up study notes and revision notes for the following subjects:

Subjects I wil largely concentrate on:
-Chemistry units 1&2
-Psychology units 3&4
-Methods units 1&2

Subjects I will moderately to small concentrate on:
-Biology units 1&2
-English units 1&2
-Music (solo performance) units 1&2

Subjects I don't do (anymore or never) so it probably will be crappy, super rare and general, in fact probably just blog material:
-Business management units 1&2
-Psychology units 1&2
-Methods 3&4

So yeah, look out for them and copy them at your will ^_^ enjoy

That should be all for today
Goodnight from [stereotypical gameshow host] THE MIND OF JON!!!

bai!
