The Whole World is Asleep
I’m awake wandering the bodies
No, wandering the streets
Empty streets, smiling manikins, frozen people
I have the world to myself
I am alone
I have one comrade
Always by my side
He will agree with what I think, most of the time
But sometimes I hear him getting angry inside of me
I try to calm him
Most of the time I can
Sometimes I can’t
He rages out, controlling my body
Punching walls, having no respect for the empty casket he inhabits
He is angry, but has no words to tell me why
If only I could learn where this fire comes from
But for now, I must just suppress him
Whenever I feel him trying to control me
I must bolt the door which he is hidden behind
And continue on alone.

I can hear the song in my head. Not for anybody yet, but for everybody. Someone who I probably don't know yet.
It is a wonderful song. It doesn't have lyrics yet, but those are to be added later, to fill in the gaps. I made a love song without lyrics.
Yet, whenever I try to play it, I can't. I can get the tune, just barely. But it doesn't sound the same as it does in my head. It sounds off-key and dull. I can't even find the chords for it yet. It is almost like the song in my head is an emotional reaction to the song rather than the song itself.
I've written a lot of songs before, but somehow, I can't get this one out of my head.

Sometimes I wonder.
Wonder where I am and wonder where I'm going.
It seems now that I am lost without hope. I am in the worst position because everyone thinks I know my way, but I really don't. I am just lost.
I love my friends and love everyone. I just feel frustrated for some reason.
But other than that, I love life.
I did some research on zero-mass objects with zero velocity. The only way objects can have zero mass is if they are moving at C, but I also played around with the equation and showed that the equation does not disprove the existence of massless particles with zero velocity. Although, how would we detect a particle if it has zero mass and zero energy? It is basically...nothing. But then again, how does gravity work? Would these particles have a gravitational field? Maybe. Possibly.
I am madly obsessed with my friend. (I typed in love, but then realized that I don't really know what it is).
Life is awesome.

We can tell the weather, right? It's all about making estimates about where parcels of air will be and how they collide. But there is a lot of uncertainty about it. What if we could examine each tiny particle in the air and know how that particle is going to react with every other particle? If we can look infinitely close, we can then in turn make an infinitely perfect prediction of the weather.
We are all made of particles, though. Our whole universe is made of particles.
Now I am more confident in answering the question "do we have a destiny?". Why, yes we do. If we look infinitely close at every particle in our body and know perfectly well how those particles react with everything else in the world, then we will know everything in our future.
We might never be able to look this close, but at least we know we can. We know we have a set future even if we don't know what that future will be.

First of all, shout out to my friend with an absolutely amazing voice and crazy talent, Hannah Buckley. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=125924834
I would recommend listening to "Blueberry Stains"
And I thought I had something to write here. I'm so, so happy. I realized this weekend that I CAN'T do everything and still keep up with my homework while getting an acceptable amount of sleep. My sleep has been all messed up lately. I kinda want to do that cool thing where you sleep for 20 minutes every 2 hours. That's basically where I'm heading.
Time to go through some sample data and be cool with excel.
I'm so, so cool.

So, what's new with my life lately?
I have this week planned out to perfection. Unfortunately not including work. My Friday is going to be epic, with the torch run (10 miles of tough stuff), puddle jump (cutting a hole into Bates' own Lake Andrews and jumping in), then bonfire, then laser tag. Oh, and big air comp tonight on Mount David and Tele lessons tomorrow. I <3 tele skiing. Except I did try the other day and kinda failed miserably since I was just imitating what I've seen other people do without any lessons. I went to a 10:30 A Capella concert last night, got out at 11:45 then worked from then till 3 AM, then woke up for my 8 AM then have been moving ever since.
This week is crazy. I like, I like.
I also love all my friends way too much.

An idea about gravity that isn't correct but is still cool
So, our universe is expanding very quickly. Expanding not in the sense that more matter is being created and adding to the edges of the universe, but rather our universe is stretching like a piece of rubber being stretched in all directions. So, as this rubber is being stretched, each planet gets further and further away from each other planet and the distance between any two points in our galaxy (or universe) is getting larger.
Now, to slightly switch topics, when Einstein came up with the idea that gravity is the curvature of spacetime, his wonderful idea sprouted from the idea that, if a car is constantly accelerating, then the person inside it will feel a constant force from the back of the chair. This force, if the acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then would be the same as gravity and, in the absence of earth's gravity, would feel exactly like gravity.
So now, back to the first paragraph, if our universe is constantly expanding, then doesn't that mean that the mass in our universe is expanding, too? We would not be able to measure this- one might say that the density of an object would constantly be going down, but if it is in fact the atoms themselves that are getting larger and larger, we could not measure this and, since we would be growing at the same rate as everything around us, we would seem to be not growing at all. But let's say that the matter below us is growing very, very quickly and we ourselves are growing very, very quickly, then there would be a force exerted by the ground on us, resembling gravity.
No, wait, the expansion of mass has to be accelerating to begin with, just like the accelerating car (we wouldn't feel a force if it was just constantly expanding). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_universe
Wow, I swear I didn't read that before I made that last statement.
But, yeah. Probably wrong. Fun to think about, though.
