Attractive females talking about literature...ok, maybe that's just really hot.

These are a few of the things that i think capture the essence of cool. They carry with them that ambiance. You want to be seen with them, to say "yeah, i am one of those," but most of us realize our greatest hope is to say, "yeah, i know one of those." They are just too cool. But some of these things are incompatible. Like Clint Eastwood driving a BMW. It makes me laugh just to think of it. But Clint Eastwood playing a Navy Seal, that would be cool. Brad Pitt as a Seal wouldn't work, ever. I would be worrying about his uniform getting messed up.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, no cab drivers knew where Tom Ping Memorial Park was. You get to Chicago, everyone speaks English (except the cab drivers of course) and no one knows where the freaking park is...craziness.

Quotes of the day:
"This man is amazing, and definitely worthy of having my children." (hopefully you will be having his children.)
(while boarding an airplane) "Didn't i just jump out of one of these?"
"Chemistry is a form of art."
"Calculus integration is an artform"
Ok, hold it, in my attempts to dump all art classes this year, i find myself with two teachers explaining new art forms which i have hope in, but still hate and trudge through unwillingly.

Things i need to do:
Read more David Foster Wallace. Seriously, my dad just finished his "Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" and i got jealous.
Read Harry Potter
Read To Kill a Mockingbird
Read Brave New World
Read Merchant of Venice
Ok, i guess i just need to read more, who woulda thunk it?

If you don't completely understand Paschal's Wager, i recommend reading Hold 'Em Poker for Advanced Players. Amazing how much poker applies to life. Expected Value...learn it.
