My weird mind

An indication that I've been doing too much maths... This could actually be made into a cartoon but I cant be bothered.

It occurred to me that guitar tabs can be modelled as sequences in a weird group Z6xZ18 (if the guitar has 18 frets).

Would be cool if there was something useful to come from it but I doubt it. It's just one of those weird things that my mind tends to do these days

No time for losers cos we are the champions... Of the World

There are 6.6 Billion people in the world. How many of these people will be remembered in 150 years, when everybody who knew them is dead. Why is it important to be remembered? How do we get remembered? Maybe it's not being remembered that is important. Perhaps it's being respected enough during your lifetime to warrant being remembered.

How do you stand out enough to be respected like that? (Other than being a murderous dictator)

Is greatness something anybody can aspire to? Or are certain genetic, social and/or geographical predispositions required? Clearly these predispositions help, but how hard is it without any of these factors if possible? Is it more a question of drive?

The cyclops fell into a drunken stupor

The title to this post is the first line I read when I opened a book I found that looked interesting. Without the use of a search engine, I'm sure nobody could figure out which book this came from.

"The nothing that is: A natural history of zero"

Not sure how it relates, though if the book is interesting enough to get to that point I'm sure it'll make sense eventually. What does a cyclops have to do with the number zero?

Quack

I haven't posted much lately and it seems about time I did. I'm back at uni atm, at summer school. Kinda weird cos there are more math geeks ive ever seen in my life in the one building for 4 weeks.

It's officially been 3 months with mel now. Feels longer. Things are great.

I really need to start writing a thesis but I don't have a clue what I'm meant to be doing. Sigh. I also need to start thinking on where I'd like to see myself working in the future. Might see what jobs are available in maths.
Nothing good.
El Sigh.

Havent adjusted to waking up early again either... hence blogging at 12.30am

I want to break free

Can't find an appropriate song title for todays blog. Or at least for where I plan on starting it. I thought I had food poisoning cos i was sick all sunday night and monday... but seems I have gastro actually. So the only song that seemed appropriate was unwell by matchbox 20... but i've used that before when i was sick.

I suppose there really isn't much to say about my being sick except that I'm sure it's doing wonders for my waistline lol. I Didn't eat anything on monday and ate very little yesterday and almost everything i ate on sunday ended up painted on the walls of the hallway :S.

Currently Mel is reading all my old blogs... LOL so she'll be reading this one very soon too. How weird. Hi baby. :P

Kinda scary. Wondering what thoughts have run through my head in the last 4.5 years that could incriminate me :P

oh well whats done is done... reading old posts is funny as.

smoke on the water

wow.. I'm posting from my phone woot! Not something i'll regulary do cos its a nightmare to type with a phone but cool still. New phone.

Wakin' up at the start of the end of the world

Our brains are very interesting things. I swear alcohol can tempararily boost some parts of the brain. On several occasions, I've come in smashed at 3am and finally realised what I have been doing wrong in an assignment. Though I was just looking at my blog today, at the previous drunken comic post thingo. I don't entirely remember doing it, well I just do. But I had to look up what "Despondent" means. Now that strikes me as a little odd.

Saturday night was fun... at least until len and daz had to go home and the mood was just kinda dull. I drank a fair bit, but I didn't really feel drunk. Was odd. Though when I woke up I felt a little tipsy.
