Lack of Appreciation for a Brilliant Man

The fu(a)rther I get along in my studies of engineering, mathematics, mechanics, etc., the more I hear about this guy. Before I moved to rolla, I actually attended a mathematics forum/meeting/lecture/seminar @ UMSL given by some Harvard/Yale/other-notable-ivy-league-school mathematician devoted to the life of this man. The numbers involved in quantifying his contributions to mathematics are mind-boggling (quantifiable in many cases for comparative analysis). In any-little-thing-that-people-like of any value, as most people know.... there is always some guy/girl that is by far better than the poster boy for that field of study. Your high-school/college math or physics class gave you Sir Isaac Newton; A brilliant man with immeasurable contributions to physics and calculus (if you don't believe in Gauss (mathematics-wise)). Every math-mechanics-energy-differential-equations class that I have taken from the git-go a couple years ago, all I hear is : Euler, Euler, Leonhard fucking Euler! Not to mention he was friends with the Bernoulli family (calc 2 nightmare, thanks Jakob). If there is an alien or god-like force that wants us to know about how the world works and the quantification thereof, this was the man chosen to relay the message. Not only did he leave us with VOLUMES of mathematics and mechanics, but he left us with such quality AND quantity that (from what I heard at the aforementioned seminar), mathematicians are still trying to make sense of the volumes and volumes that he produced to this very fucking day (He died in 1783). Math and Physics fascinate me. This guy was a gift from any god if there is one.

He is funny lookin', but he's also Swiss-German, so he's gotta be brilliant ;}

REPOST - Here's the Deal

I have received MORE feedback about my blog and its content.

One comment that immediately come to mind is:

"Hi, What's going on in Rolla? I hope you have not completely lost your mind yet. But, as I saw on your web-page, I think you have."

I figure eventually more people will view this blog. People that I know and maybe even people that I don't know will look at this sh@#. I assume that similar comments will be made about the content of my blog in the future, so let me make a few presumptions about what will be said:

"This guy has way too much free-time."
"Isn't he like almost thirty? What an immature jack-ass."
"What a dork."
"This guy is disturbed."
"Wow, he really needs to get laid."
"What a loser."

Now I'll admit that one, or even a number of these statements might be true. But before you judge, keep a few things in mind:

1) I take my computer everywhere with me. Take your shovel, microphone, business card, esquire, kitchen knife or what ever it is that you use all day and replace it with a laptop computer. Yes, I've turned into that guy.

2) I'm as fast on the draw with my Adobe Photoshop version 5.0 as I am with my Ti-86 graphing calculator. It really doesn't take that long to do this stuff.

3) I live in MOTHER@&%@!ING GOD D$#@ %$##%$^! *&*&^! PIECE of ^%$# GOAT $## (*&^%%*&^$$ (*&^%%%*^$#@! ROLLA F^%$ING, MISSOURI so F%$# OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is to that, which makes me appear insane, that I owe my sanity.

Metaphors

I just watched the movie "Unforgiven" again. Favorite new quote from it: "I just don't wanna get killed for lack of shootin' back." If dems and other liberals would embrace all of their rights, the shooting range would be a good place to talk to other folks and show them the error of their uneducated ways (respectfully, of course). Pacifism is why george bush is still in office. Fences and pussies and fear of guns will only lead to one thing. Guess what it is. Guns are the same as anything else. Only the uneducated are dangerous.

Women as Explained by Engineers

This is fucking hilarious. Too bad the ones that don't fit the stereotype are so few and far between. Not to mention, I believe the saying is "money is the root of all EVOL," not 'problems' LOL! ROTFL! afk, brb. sry k cul8r.

"Some of My Favorite Things Not to Get on You" - M.L.Z.V. Chief Columnist Jake

Another one of my favorites from over at DGAOY:

God Help Me

This is Paul, A.K.A. as of next week, my new roomate.



This is Paul attacking a drunk friend of his by punching him in the balls.



This is the aftermath of Paul's assault with an "intentional" grammatical error.



All I can say is that I'm locking my fucking door at night.

Mozart Abuse...

I just saw "The New World." I thought that it was a a good film. The love story is purley romantntic and full of suckerish-bullshit as am I. I was however, thoroughly pissed at the abuse of the piano concerto no.23. I was initially mystified that they used it in the movie. I literally thought that my computer's media player was on the fritz when I first started to hear it. I thought I was the only person that played this piece 10 times per day. Ten minutes and then 45-70 minutes later in to the movie, I was pissed that they murdered it, cut and pasted it, like it was Zeppelin for a Caddy commercial. WTF!? WTF!? Play it once. Let it rip out the listener'(s') soul as it did mine the first and 2000'th time I heard it. Don't fuck it and all involved. Really, WTF?!!

Opposable Thumb Appreciation Day

I officially declare yesterday, May 16 to be opposable thumb appreciation day. As Sly, my pet python of 14 years often reminds me, It is a wonderful thing to be at the top of the food chain. I can't imagine it would be that great to spend the last moments of my life being sold, transported in an empty 'Fruit Roll-Ups' box, and then eaten.
So, watch this video, look at these pictures 1 2 3 , and tell your thumbs that you love them.

"Where's Beaman?" MLZV Chief Jake

Anyone that has lived with Beaman or knows him well, knows that he doesn't just eat a sandwich, he goes to a different place and makes love to it. This place is called........ Happy Sandwich Land.

New Confidence in 'Good'

I finally got to see the the De La Hoya - Mayorga (sp?) fight. This was a great fight by a great guy. It's good to see shit like this. It gives one confidence in the perpetual fight between 'Good and Asshole.' If you are unfamiliar with De La Hoya, or why he is such a great boxer or just a good guy, just google him. Or better yet, just ask Rabon (at least about his boxing skills). Oh, and try to avoid checking out any of his albums that he has recorded, as it may spoil the whole thing.

OMFG.

For some reason, for the past hours, I can't stop playing this mahavishnu shit, so it's my profile song on me space. I swear this takes me back, takes me back. And my god, hats off to whoever recorded this. My dick wants to meet the microphones that were on the drums.......no resonators on the toms. did anyone use em back then?

Sainthood

My vote is for The Wookie. Poor bastard has diabetes..... He is still however, a ray of light in a dark world.

Shannanoookie, Sha-na-nooookie, weep-weep.

In The Mood For Some More Heine

For some reason, this poem reminds me of this time, and this person......



Lorelei
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten

Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten
Daß ich so traurig bin;
Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
Und ruhig fließt der Rhein;
Der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
Im Abendsonnenschein.

Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
Dort oben wunderbar,
Ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet
Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.

Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme
Und singt ein Lied dabei;
Das hat eine wundersame
Gewaltige Melodei.

Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
ergreift es mit wildem Weh,
Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.

Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
Und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Die Lorelei getan.

The Internet Is Weird

I was watching the movie "walk the line" and decided to look up some of the people in the movie. You know, find out what they really looked like. Within two minutes of learning about this web of people from decades ago, I fall in love with a woman that died in 1982. I don't know, she might even be (have been) more beautiful than Uma.

Romy Schneider....The name rings a faint bell, but I really know nothing about her.

People With Too Much Free Time

This is weird, but fun.

Dorks Gone Wild 2

I'm struggling to think uo other ways to destroy the remains of this much hated device. I'm up for suggestions.....

Feeling Much Better Today

Uh, sorry about that last post. I was lonely and tired and pissed off. Why do I feel better today? Well unlike some people, when I get pissed off, I like to hurt things, not other people. I like to break stuff. Even though my old piece-O-shit cell phone has already been smashed by 30,000 lbs (see video below), I decided to keep it so that I could break it "more." This time, I really fucked it up. Ohhh, it felt so good. More "Dorks Gone Wild" is on the way! For right now, I have to study for my Mechanics of Materials final tomorrow morning.

To all the saudis that read my blog (ha ha)..... Uh, sorry dudes. I know there are some good people over there, they're just not in power.

Poser Saint Sells False Sense of Security in the form of an SUV!

.....And people fucking buy it. We're all gonna fucking die. Either that or be owned by the fucking saudi royal family. Fuck saudi arabia. Fuck their powerful oil lobby, and the life they suck out of our economy. Until Hydrogen, buy E85 compatible or a japanese car. Do anything to keep your dollar from going to a country that still has public beheadings. Fuck these people, their selective morality, and the extreme distortion of Christianity in our country that willingly and profitably feeds these insatiable fucks. Jesus was a (the first) fucking rockstar, not a pro-rich, pro-war asshole. This drives me fucking insane! I can't take these ignorant fuckers anymore!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah, and I'm all for immigration. I'm a WASP, so I might be out of line in voicing my privileged opinion, but fuck it. I'm on a rant already, I might as well keep going:
This is a country of immigrants. People who want to work hard and live the american dream deserve that dream more than anyone else, admittedly far more than myself. But if you're an ILLEGAL immigrant, and want to be an american citizen, and SUBSEQUENTLY attain 1st ammendment rights, LEAVE YOUR FUCKING MEXICAN FLAG IN MEXICO!!!!!!!! I'm all for ethnic pride, for loss of identity is death of soul. But respect for the land that will have you, and appreciate you (working on that one), is a necessity.
Go buy a fucking american flag! I'm sure you can find one at any 7-11 for less than a dollar. Shit, the chinese make 'em super-cheap!



I SWEAR I'M GONNA GO FUCKING POSTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, and hats, hair, SCALP and SKULL off to Carlos Mencia and Dave Chappelle for having the balls to destroy this PC bullshit that has been cornholing this fucking country since the early '90's. (It's so pathetic that I just had to say that, but really, what else am I going to do?)

Oh My F@#$ing God!

Newsflash! Uma is still as f@#$ing hot as ever! Holy Shit. Wait........why am I still awake?

For the Few that View..........

I have been told by a number of people (more than one) that they were unable to view the in-page videos in the past. I have since changed the video server from 'photo'bucket to 'youtube.' Hopefully this will solve the problem. If you were unable to view videos in the past, but are able to now, I recommend checking out the past posts. At least %50 of the videos on the site are worth watching. If you have a second, please let me know if it works or not. I would really appreciate it.
Oh, and look out for angry dead birds. They are generally very bitter and looking to take their aggression out on the unsuspecting bystander.

Motorcycle Tough-Guy's Secret Life Exposed!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

OMG.

Prepare to laugh.

Dead Animals!

What is it about dead birds that have been run-over like 50 times that is so interesting that you (I) have to stop and stare for a minute? I mean, I'm not talking about average roadkill (squirrels, opossums, etc.), they all look different. Birds that have been runover don't look squashed like other animals. They just look like 2-dimensional versions of their formerly 3-dimensional selves. It's as if they're trapped in glass like the bad guys in "superman." When one walks the same path back-and-forth over-and-over again, sometimes multiple times a day, and there happens to be a dead tweeter on the road, one sees the same corpse many times before the corpse becomes a bad song by 'Kansas.' I asked if he wanted to come over and hang out; maybe have a beer. He just laid there. I guess he's kinda shy or something. I can't wrap my brain around this. Someone help me understand ........

Angry Fat Kids Rule!

I stole this from a friend of Andrew's on "My Space." It almost made me (I mean us) piss our pants.

"Where's Beaman?" -M.L.Z.V. Chief Columnist Jake

Bored insomniac students at UMR have developed a new technology where still images can be captured of people's dreams from remote locations. This was captured from Beaman's dream 5 minutes ago. We call this one: "Noriko, Nate, and the Ninjew."
