Welcome To Daily Musings...
When placed in the situations that we come
across in everyday life, those which are staggeringly boring or
lackluster, our minds tend to drift and ponder...
Most people don't pay any attention to the rantings of their
subconcious, but I have decided it would be fun to put my jaded
philosophies on a homepage. Hell, maybe I'll even get some hits!
I am planning on developing a form page so you can make comments
about the musings, and if I like them, I'll post them on the
page. For now you'll just have to settle for emailing me at:

DISCLAIMER
Some of these theories are by no means to be taken
seriously. They are just things I come up with when I'm bored. If
you are offended by any of them, I am sorry, but they are not to
be taken as fact.

The
Sphere - o - Flavor
This debate began with my mother in a chinese restaurant with a
very poor buffet. The idea is that all tastes, bitter, sweet,
sour, etc, can be charted on some form of graph. My mother, who
thinks in 2 dimensions, thinks that it should work like this...
ALL EXTREME FLAVORS
---------------------------------------------------------- BLAND
(SWEET, SOUR, BITTER...)DECREASING INTENSITY ---->
This diagram bugged me. I recognized that bland is the opposite
of intense flavors, but I also came to the realization that
certain flavors were also extreme opposites of EACH OTHER. Thus
the only logical way to graph them would have to be on a three
dimensional plane -a sphere of flavor. This is really hard to
show you...I'll scan something in eventually. For now, just
picture it in your head. Bland is at the center of the sphere,
while the extreme opposite flavors are directly adjacent from
each other. If you drew a line from one of those flavors to the
other it would pass directly through bland to get there.

One
Man's Interpretation of Reality
How does one create their existence. It is possible that man
inherits a small amount of knowledge of right and wrong that we
define as instinct. But I would argue that 99% of what we
perceive as reality is based on information fed to us during our
time here on Earth. If you are taught to do certain things, you
do them, and accept them as what is correct. People raised in a
family with heavy southern accents develop the same accent
themselves. People who have learned to live a certain way usually
have problems adjusting to a new method. It's human nature.

How
Science Created God
Could science have created a being of limitless power? Here's a
silly theory I thought up during a Physics Lecture.
A long time ago, there was a man named God (That name being quite
common back then). Well this man decided that he would be the
fastest moving thing in the universe, so he devised a way to
break the light barrier. As he hit 300,000 meters per second,
relativity kicked in. His density became non-existent as his mass
became infinite. He was in all places in the universe at all
times. In this altered state of existence he discovered he could
manipulate all particles of matter, he being at the same location
at the same time as all things. He became omnipresent, and all
knowing…thus God was born.

Finding
the Distance from the Normal
I was enlightened to this on at my new job. At the office kitchen
we were discussing who was weird at the office. They used the
vernacular "out there". One of the secretaries stated
that you can only judge how far "out there" someone is,
by the distance you are from them in the whole scheme of oddity.
NORMAL -------------------YOU-------judging distance------THEM
This made so much sense to me that I had to put it down here.
