E=mc^2

Don't be turned off by the academic brilliance of the title. This has next to nothing to do with electron energies or waveform energetics. BUT, it does have to do with that letter "c". Velocity of light right? As of right now, August 14, 2:38am, I see it as what it is...a constant. Here's a brain teaser to start your mind on the right path for this intellectual adventure: if we are such dynamic people and are told that change is good and to go with the flow, why are constants necessary?

Earlier tonight I had jacknothin to do. I made some calls and eventually made it out to the beach for some disc action. It was definately something I needed. After the beach, the four of us headed to DQ for some late night treats. Well I guess it was not that late, 9ish i think. After some burgers and a few stories and laughs the night continued at Hortons. More stories, more laughs, and a guy who looked like he had a cardboard box in his pants were all experienced. So we leave, 3 in one car, 1 in the other. As we drive around downtown checking out the scenery, I notice a group of people walking on the sidewalk. I realized after they passed that one of my friends was in the group and I yelled at her. All I got was a rude response in the way of "F-u-A" from a guy who was travelling with them. This immediately put my body into fight mode. I was riding shotgun and yelled at the driver to stop. I tried to collect my thoughts and finally decided against getting out of the car. On the way home I was fuming, yelling all the way such things as "That idiot OBVIOUSLY didn't know who he was talking to", and "I can't wait to find out who that was...". I was pretty steamed about the situation. WHen i got home i REALLY wanted to get in my car and go find that nice gentleman and ask him to repeat what he said to my face. If he obliged I would have broke his filthy little jaw with my kubotan. But we all can say what if right? So, this brings me to sitting on the couch still angry. I was clicking through the channels and a title "Shall We Dance" caught my eye. That movie was just what I needed.


J-lo loses the big dancecomp and needs to find a something constant to heal her wounds. Richard Gere needs to find a new dynamic variable because the last X #of years of his marriage was like a dull/never changing constant. And I need to find something to soothe my wounds and emotions, because J-lo and Richard won't be around all the time.

My friends always laugh at me when I tell them I can't stay over at so and so's cottage on a saturday night because I have church in the morning. Or even on a friday, I won't stay because I just want to go home. These are two things I have come to depend on a lot this summer. They bring closure and calmness. Just like the equation; Einstein figured out that anything with mass and speed has energy. Without one, you're left with the other. kg*m/s^2 is not the same as just kg. And I've found that Life=constants*variables. The constants are there to relax us and give us closure when the variables take us outside our subconscious boundaries and cause stress and elevated levels of emotion.

I'm pretty calm right now, which is surprising after the way I was about 3 hours ago. And it's back to school soon. I can't wait for that. I'm moving into the basement of the place I was at last year. I hope it will be good. I think that'll be it for now, so keep your head held high. And if you ever make it there, tell 'em Buck sent you.
