I admire people who can write real deep stuff. Not like me, rambling on about WHAT? I don't know. Complaints. That's all. Nothing insightful, nothing deep, nothing worth recording.
I like black holes. They're interesting. Go check it out sometime. Just search on google and you'll get lots of stuff on it. My favourite jargonic term (ahah.. is there even SUCH a phrase?) is "point of singularity". I don't know how to explain what it means though.
However, read this:
"If you were to fall into a black hole, you would first notice that your feet were feeling heavy. This is because the gravitational pull at your feet will be increasingly greater then your head. As you approach the point of singularity you will be able to all the way around the black hole. You will fall right through the point of singularity, and at that point there is not hope for you. Gravity is pulling down faster then the speed of light and nothing can escape the pull of the black hole. In reality you would have been ripped to little pieces but for the sake of this explanation lets pretend you do not get ripped to pieces. You will continue to fall and as you reach the point of singularity you will be able to see more until you can see a complete 360 circle until. You will be able to see the back and sides of your head simultaneously. At this point you will be squished into the point of singularity. It is unclear what the point of singularity is or how big it is, but it is safe to assume you will already be dead at this point.
If you were to watch a friend jump out of a space ship into a black hole the picture would be very different. You would see your fiend approach the event horizon but never pass through it. This is because the light from you buddy would be moving away toward you at the speed of light, but gravity would be pulling it back at close to the speed of light. Imagine the light is a bird and gravity is wind. From our point of view the bird is stationary and from the birds point of view it is moving through the air. So we would see our friend suspended for ever at the even horizon when in fact he/she fell through."
Yes. Interesting, no? Haha. Now I've become an educational resource, haven't I? ((not)) Oh well. At least I tried.
Can I rave about the Ender series now? IT ROCKS IT ROCKS IT ROCKS IT ROCKS!! So everyone must buy it. Hah. Er, it IS a bit on the costly side though. Anyway. You can borrow it off me if you like.
GOD. Speaker For the Dead was SO SO good. I still can't get over it though I've finished it about two to three days ago. I don't KNOW what made it so good. It didn't even make me CRY. I couldn't even FEEL it's depth. But it's profoundness was probably beyond my grasp.
The pequeninos are cool. HECK, portuguese is cool. Do you think "ansible" is a nice word? I think so too. For the uninitiated, an ansible is a machine that enables instantaneous transfer of information over astronomical distances.
Okay. My rambling is NOT making sense. Weeeee. I don't really like the Shadow series now, because the original Game series is SO MUCH BETTER. And I didn't know. I must have been missing out. Well, no matter. I bought the last two books, Xenocide and Children of the Mind. Now I can enjoy the thrill anytime.
Got my Harry Potter book. Haha. Personal delivery. Won't read it until I finish Shadow Puppets, though. Mmm.
I hate hospitals. Hate hate hate hate hate hate. Hate the machines. Hate the ICU. Hate the rules. HATE.
Too much hate.
Too much guilt.
I need to cleanse my body, mind and soul.
But no one's helping me.
And I can't do it alone.
