planet eath is blue and there's nothing i can do

coming to terms with futile situations is difficult but important. this ability is a major stepping point for changing your attitude about life to be positive; hanging around with people who have great attitudes and espouse positive attitudes is the best way to get one yourself; you can be the crying-on-the-inside kind of clown, but if you can stick with good people you'll never find yourself in despair for too long. i think that's why i like working with the positive, upbeat coworkers at my current organization - even when the chips are down and you can't see the forest from the trees there is an attitude that we can conquer the world regardless of these petty obstacles. being able to apply these ideas to your personal life is even more rewarding; just add some whisky and you can meet any challenge.


moving out of philosophical whimsy, my car sounds effed up: brake pads, tires, air intake sensor, exhaust, broken headlight, and title/registration issues abound. i am considering just straight up trading it and starting with something newer.

i played through halo 3 co-op and all it brought a few points to mind:

• gears of war is much more entertaining, but difficult
• even a mediocre, pretentious game like halo 3 is awesome when playing co-op because the whole mechanic of co-operative first person shooters is so rewarding
• i really want to realize my dream of a co-op fps that doesn't suck

i've been watching firefly, and not only has it been pumping me up for the upcoming season of BSG, it reminded me that similar to co-op fps, the serialized sci-fi genre is intrinsically made of win. i can plainly say that firefly is even better than bsg, and the fact that i'm already half-way done is a major bummer.

finally, a physics report that has already brought much lulz must be presented for long-term posterity. ancient by any standard, but timeless and rewarding when looking back on the shit i had to deal with in college.
