Cribs: That's How I Roll

The Most Amazing Person that Ever Lived...in Silence and Lifelong Solitude

I have always felt the greatest admiration for a historical figure who lays claim to a legacy so revolutionary and absolutely vital to our existence that it is uniquely more infallible and true  than even  history itself.  In fact numerous, maybe most of the greatest events written in our history (before and after he lived) simply could not have occurred but for Isaac Newton

Can it be true that, in a sad twist of fate, it is commonly believed that Newton was only driven to physically laugh but one time in his entire life,  when he was mockingly asked by a colleague:
"What possible use could there truly be for Geometry?"
Don't take my word for it...this Biography of Isaac Newton sums it up nicely, and frankly I'm ashamed to have been an admirer for so long without knowing some of the absolutely incredible characteristics about him presented therein. You wouldn't believe me...so I'm not going there! We all owe it to the man to indulge for a few...trust me.


  • Newton did quietly say this of himself in his last days:


“I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

Some Questions Cannot Be Answered

It occurred to me that the perceived importance of a question is in direct inverse proportion to the ability to answer it.

This troubles me at the most fundamental level; and yet I know somewhere in my mind that it simply must be that way...anything else would be all the more wrong.

I can only wonder (as I don't feel particularly comforted by this knowledge): Is this what is meant by "acceptance"?

If so, why do I feel shortchanged in some way?

I suppose acceptance was billed as something entirely different to me.

You are Now at a Crossroads

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don’t think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.” - Anthony Robbins

Google watching us in yet another way..

This time its for copiers. They've announced that they'll begin penalyzing people that copy others works on their blogs, etc. I dont believe copying is a good thing...but i think yet another authoritative Watchdog looking to give bloggers the shaft is even worse, much worse.
