Finally: Same Logic

As soon as I read this excerpt from the syllabus I knew that the professor and I were going to get along quite well.

"You’re paying $32.80 per hour of class time. Might as well come. 

Your book cost approximately 14.6 cents per page. Might as well read it. 

I’m in my office all day, every day. Might as well as stop by. 

Your friend is smarter than you are. Might as well ask for help. 

There are five weeks in between each exam. Might as well study early. 

Your exams this semester are a lot like last semester. Might as well work through them. 

Homework is a lot like the exams. The points are easier to get too. 

You get the idea."

It was like attending one of Neal Caffrey's lectures, relatively: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hth2UqTsg9s

Finally: intelligence with structure, logic, and humor. 

I'm definitely taking it, and leaving some words of simplicity for you to wish you were taking this course as well. Think about it.

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, beautifully 1.618.
While we were appreciating art during class, my teacher was telling the "someone stole the Mona Lisa" story.

My teacher proceeded to say, "No one knew who made out with the Mona Lisa.... (cricket cricket), wait a minute --- errrr --- No one knew who made off with the Mona Lisa."

Baha, I was peeing my pants.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it because I'm still thinking about it haha.

The "Vert"

Extrovert or introvert, not a pervert.

After a painfully long introduce yourself to the class "what a fun activity this is," the teacher proceeded to apologize to all of the introverts if it made them feel uncomfortable since they are probably not used to sharing their name with anybody anyways.

Don't apologize to me, lady. Apologize to all of the extroverts who you kept quiet throughout the class duration until now.

Yes, I put my "fun interesting fact about myself" as, "I memorized pi to the 100th decimal place" - which is actually a lie, because I memorized it to the 200th -- I was just being modest.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it, because extrovertism and introvertism goes both ways.

it's going to be one of "those" days

-Oh my gosh, it's been forever, how are you?

I'm good, it's so good to see you, how are you?

-I'm good. How was your break?

It was good. How was yours?

-It was good. Good, I'm glad. See you later!

...and for some people you don't see, it can feel like forever (whatever forever feels like).

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it and try not to be so original when you greet people. 

It is definitely going to be one of "those" days.

The Doldrums

We have entered the doldrums, the middle-age spread, the no motivation whatsoever mode. We are waiting – waiting for the tide, the new phase, and loads of homework.

“Give a busy person a job, and they’ll get it done.” Basically, nothing is getting done; no small task is completed, and relaxing has become a bore.

Come tomorrow, hopefully that will all change so the mind can once again be amused and used.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it, because it is one more task I have given you to hopefully fill up this “quiet before the storm.” 

Pilot

To kick off this fantastic blog which I presume will be under much scrutiny of those who do not like others (me) who will do anything in their power to not only chase the rabbit but also catch the rabbit, put it on a skewer, lather it up with a great balsamic vinegar and olive oil mix, roast it on a slow rotisserie, and meanwhile relay the entire rabbit-trail chasing story again to you as you see that poor rabbit being slowly spun to eventually end up in your stomach. Yes, this is one of "those" blogs, where the said blogger uses punctuation where he or she likes, which is usually when a pause in the thought or a breath in the ramble is taken.

...that being said, I congratulate you for bearing with me, because this is why we are here -- to bear all with each other, our inmost thoughts on those who have thrown themselves into this dark world and insist on dragging us into their ignorance. They have not seen, and we must encourage them to venture out into the light, where all things good survive (Allegory of My Cave). 

My point being, I wish to burst your bubble of all truths you know and hold dear.

So, here it is: the reason why all first episodes of television series are called "Pilot" is because they are the testers you might say, to see how the public reacts and so on. But, do you know WHY???

I have been trying, for quite some time now, to connect a pilot, who commands a flight, to a television first episode pilot being that the pilot is the first in command to a plane and all must obey yadayada. Nada, no connection whatsoever. You might hear "pilot hole" or "pilot lights" because these are effortless experiments to test a greater idea. For instance, a hole that is intended to connect a pipe will be drilled, but it will be very small so the outside forces and so on can be observed. If the hole expands meeting the expectations, then the procedure or construction will continue. I would have to argue that a television "pilot" is not done effortlessly, and in reality, right now, any topic on the lines of adultery or espionage will do.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it, and in my case, I appreciate your time, and in your case, you will appreciate the truth that has been revealed to you about a "Pilot" not being a tester related to an aircraft.
