Rights, Entitlements, and More Rights

After watching a documentary on how insulation works, I stopped to watch a talk show with Dr. Keith Ablow that discussed dating. Four single women and four single men were interviewed. All of them were frustrated at not finding a mate, even though they have been very active in trying. All of them are on the show to try and figure out what’s wrong with the world, or what they’re doing wrong, and what can be done about it. Dr. Ablow had just begun to give them advice as I was changing the channel.

Paris Hilton was returned to jail today, to serve the rest of her 45-day prison term. She doesn’t seem to think she deserves it. Other people seem to think she deserves it. The news people seem to think that we should know about it.

Two thousand five hundred years ago, there lived a man whose life’s goal was to have as many children as he could, with as many wives as he could find. Maybe he wanted, through his sons and daughters, to be immortalized, or at least remembered, long after he died. I don’t know who he is, but everyone has heard of Plato.

Around two thousand three hundred years ago, the Library of Alexandria, considered to be the place to go to if you wanted to know everything back then, burned down. From that point on, scholars have been trying to piece together the information that was lost, as well as adding whatever information had been compiled since then.

No matter what you want to do, there is a book written on how to do it right. Every five years, a new book is written on how to do that same thing right.

String Theory is a theory in quantum mechanics that says there are eleven different dimensions, and as far as we know we are aware of four of them: the three dimensions, plus time being the fourth dimension. That means there are seven other dimensions that are here, right now, that we aren’t aware of.

The Atomic Clock exists so everyone in the world will know exactly what time it is.

We are made up of atoms. Together with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms. The exact momentum and position of any electron cannot be simultaneously determined. Basically, we don’t really know where an electron is, and we don’t really know where it’s going. But our lives are often scheduled to the exact hour of each day for the next two months.

Whenever my mom sees a person flaunting his wealth, she would say, “I think he thinks that he’s gonna get a better seat in heaven with that.”

I am writing this entry on a laptop in the dining room. My dog has gotten used to me being in other parts of the house, except for the dining room. Because he is unfamiliar with the dining room, my dog will sometimes lose track of where I am, even though he can hear my voice. He will become confused and whimper a little, trying to figure out where I went. If he had only searched a little further, he would have seen me sitting at the dining room table. But my dog’s way of thinking doesn’t include the dining room. The house doesn’t seem that big to me, but may seem infinite, even mysterious, to my dog. He is a good dog, but sometimes he gets lost.
