I don't usually do this...

"But..."

Rather, I don't usually say this, but I did happen to see something incredibly inspiring, to me anyway. So as to recount, I saw an old Chinese man with a white beard wearing a jacket and shorts holding up a sign with a Happy Face on one side and a Sad face on the other. Also wearing a billboard type thing. On one side, it said "Think" and on the other "Imagine". The "Imagine" went with the sad face, "Think" with the happy face.

Now why is this all so interesting you may ask? Because of the whole scene. How many times do you see exactly that scene, or even somewhat close to it, in a lifetime? Not very. Oh and he had a dog. Now, the first conclusion one may draw is that he is homeless. But upon closer inspection, he isn't begging. And his dog has a jacket to help against the cold. So perhaps he is, but I would not know. Secondly, he is old. That adds to the...hrmm...factor.

Perhaps it's just me. But it inspires me. And where others may see him as crazy or stupid, he is just doing what others will not. To what purpose, I don't know, but it's still all very intriguing.

New project, this time I'm going to be using sheet metal and more axles. The result is more power. Also, it might be a bit sharp and whatnot. I'll fix it all in the design process. Sheet Metal....+ Maybe wood for moulds.

Ah well, ah well.

Hoping I can finish everything. And design that awesome power generator.

Quite eventful, really.

"Of course I live under a rock. How else do you think I'm so "down to earth"?"

Well, sometimes there isn't enough information to go around fixing stuff, but I can still try to get that stuff done.

In addition to that, maths common came back, this time above the average in our class, but still not quite happy with it. Ah well. Such is life. I'll try...and I'll try...

Anyway, doing 3u Math (Eh, I can do it so long as I practice every week.), 3u English (Which is plain awesome. And considering essays are quite easy to me, it's quite good.), Phys, Chem, Bio (Because of nothing much else to pick, plus I don't want negative scaling on subjects I like slightly more that these. Phys = Electricity, Chem = Doctor, Bio = Nothing better to pick.)

So there we have it. My selections. Sigh. There is still quite a bit to do....We shall have to see.

Perhaps I'm what they'd call a traditionalist. Besides other things. Like "jerk".

Hoping for even more sun. And rain.

"There is no such thing as coincidence"

"Fools seldom differ.."

Nostalgia? Well, it was a somewhat good time. But primary school was weird. And they didn't teach you good habits of study/work/whatever, they just taught you. Which isn't quite the same thing if you know what I mean.

Sunny today....though we do have 3 days inclusive of today to finish a powerpoint consisting of 4 people, when we can't really communicate all that well with said 4th member. Guess....well. I'll see what I can do.

Perhaps, perhaps. Advice often comes from odd sources, and it's all equally useless. Unless the person receiving actually does anything with said advice. Even if it's bad...it can still be turned into something positive. "Unto a writer, nothing is lost."

The true meaning of a friendship is to find yourself and others in this world. At least that's what I think. Consider it a hivemind of belonging? "Hivemind memory. Yea."

Who knows?

Hoping I can contact that one person in time.

So much work, and still so much time, but who the heck wants to do it?

"We know we should, but we don't."

Inspiring talk with the interviews and whatnot for the next year's stuff, and yet, perhaps we're wrong. In any case, all it means is to not throw away something as yet, and keep your eyes open I suppose. Least, that's what he told me. And why would you learn things the hard way when there's someone else to tell you? I guess that's the point of education. 2 Millenia or more of information, condensed into 20-30 years. Quite an achievement, don't you think?

Furthermore is the science of networks, and how everything seems to follow this unseen rule of networks. I guess you could check it up for yourself. After all, "google" is a hub of knowledge and better than I am at explaining concepts. Because I cannot match wits with people older and more plentiful than just us.

Perhaps, perhaps...in any case, it's all quite the same sometimes. Things fluctuate and change but still stay the same. At least according to X, Y and Z. Which reminds me of a really cool combo. But I just need to refine it. Oh and to make some stuff..........................................................

Work work work. So much to do...

Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow.

There are good ones, bad ones and...

"Sometimes there's that one day which is unexpectedly awesome."

Like today. Who knew making food was THIS AWESOME.

Seriously. Zuchinni's are lol, meat is really really cold and squishy, and cutting vegetables finely is harder than it looks. Much much harder. But meat is really squishy. It's funny. And cool. I'd hope that organs aren't that squishy. (No not the musical kind. Those are obviously made out of something hard.)

Well, other highlights of the day....not really many besides now...oh well..

Cooking is awesome. So is surgery. How alike they are. (Sort of.)

Hoping I'm not so tired tomorrow.

Perhaps it's less ridiculous in dreams.

"Tobe or not Tobe? Who did it?"

Well, what do you want to do with your life?

Anyway, lots of work, lots of time, have to get started and oh my, speakers are so....well the DIY kits are ~$320 or something big like that, and I was thinking of making my own, but smaller and in a box....If it all works out (improbable) then I'll have a shiny new set of speakers in a box and I'll be even happier than I am now. (That's not to say that I'm not unhappy.) It's still very expensive. Seriously...$300 for a 1/2 a set of speakers? That's like $40 for a brick! (No, I'm not getting one.)

Maybe it'll be bigger than...well...that's the point of multi-purpose stuff. I guess I can make the easier circuit with all my father's spare parts. (He has a MASSIVE set of IC's. Seriously. Almost every IC you need. And if it doesn't quite work, just change your circuit to fit it.)

And what's the difference between a wrench and a spanner? Size? I like spanners because they're so...useful. I've never really used a wrench before (If that's the BIG one.) because of no need to undo/do big bolts. I'm not a mechanic. Though I do have a fairly basic knowledge of cars and the like. Though sometimes...you just need to look at the item. Then experiment and fix.

2 parties? On the same weekend, but I can come...Oh crap, need to make...make...argh. I have 7 days to make 2...things. Oh and some cooking to be done. But that's easy. Unfortunately, deep fried vegetarian wontons don't exist.

Great, now I'll need to plan all this and....geh. Well, one week shouldn't be too bad...Hrmm...

Hoping you finish all your work too.
