Signing Out (URL Move)

Hey guys. I'm moving from this here blogger site to a fancy pantsy tumbleblag. I just kind of wanted a change of pace and also didn't want to feel bad when I just want to post a single gif. I hear they're cool with that over there. Also I figure a new site will demand content like the state of Hawaii demands a constant and unfettered supply of fresh SPAM.

So yeah.

Productive Procrastination

I feel an incessant need to post right now and I know for a fact it if because of the sheer magnitude of shit that needs doing. If I didn't have all this shit to do and all the time in the world I would not feel so damn compelled to instead waste time by writing about spilling coffee. I suddenly want to blog about that AP tweet, about private space, about murdering Elliot, about Doritos Locos Tacos and other things and it is all because I have tests to study for and homework that needs to be completed.

So I tell myself I'll just write more when this is all done. But with age comes wisdom and in my case I begin to understand myself. I can write down exactly what I'm going to do. The second this work is done and there is nothing to procrastinate on all of this motivation will dry up and I will sit on a couch and watch a Storage Wars marathon for so long that I actually notice the moment when it repeats. That's when I change the channel to the Duck Dynasty marathon.

    
Oh Willie, you work so hard, but Si so silly.  
Hence without something more important to do, this all falls apart. That is why this summer I am announcing that I am writing a book, chronicling the history of United States National Debt using astrophysical concepts to help the reader understand the scale of the quantities in discussion. The book will compare historical eras of heavy debt to the most recent debt explosion and analyze similarities and differences between now and then. It will then include in depth physical calculations of the debts size and pennies and the destructive force such an object would have if it fell on Earth from space. It would look at the gravitational potential of the debt and see how much it would affect the tides were it it orbit. I will research and write this whole work before September ends.

There we go, that should keep the ol' inspiration in check.

In Depth Analysis of a Very Minor Event From About Ten Minutes Ago

I am currently up to my neck in shit to do. By tomorrow I must complete five homework assignments, study two tests and finish my final thesis. I have not made much progress so I am currently locked in the Observatory trying to do as much as humanly possible. The lack of human interaction is supposed to help, not quite sure if it is or not. As a result of all this I grow weary and require caffeine to keep this ship afloat. Thus I brought up a can of Cafe Bustelo and have been cranking out coffee faster than the work is actually getting done. A few moments ago I poured myself a steaming hot 24 ounce cup of black magic. It was incredibly hot so I decided to blow on it to reduce the temperature to human consumption levels.

Then I sneezed.

Immediate reaction: my eyes burn.

Secondary reaction: my shirt is wet.

Tertiary reaction: everything burns.

I jumped out of my chair and let out a mildy unnecessary scream of agony. I began punching the air with one hand while trying to get steaming hot coffee out of my eyes with the other. My shirt is soaked and hot. My eye lids feel like they have first degree burns and my eyes are letting me know that they are not pleased with my actions. All of this lead to me falling over on the ground.

Pretty much all of that happened in about five seconds. I got up found some paper towels and began the long journey of reconstruction. Got the coffee off my face and cleaned off the laptop screen that was also soaked. I then moved the coffee mug a bit away and am occasionally giving it evil glares while I type like that is supposed to teach it not to get sneezed on.

Will attempt to drink some more momentarily, back to the Electromagnetism.

I'm Coming Back

This weekend, I have an awful lot of work to do. But I have like 4-5 blog post ideas. So this is me saying that I'm bringing this back, and updating it a bit. Probably going through and updating/culling old stuff and posting new stuff. Maybe move to a new URL, but I am coming back.

But first, Particle Physics. Those Pauli Matrices ain't gonna propagate themselves if you know what I'm saying.

I'll give you a moment to check Wikipedia. Go on now.

Back?

Yeah I don't really get it either.
