Thank You's and Hello's
My thank you's to Rob for keeping my feet firmly to the ground, and thank you to Finner for creating a button for my site, and for putting it on your site (if only I could remember where your site is *shameshame*, but I really love the button. No further work needed!)
And thank you's for sticking around. I've not been very active lately, I know.
And hello's to all of you out there; I know I do have the socializing skills, I only have to start using them.
Pop's up, and crashes!
I am a GENIUS!....right?
Just some random stuff, cause my life is going in all directions right now.
What am i doing at the moment?
- I'm sucking at my internship
- I'm sucking at doing exams
- I'm sucking at home
- I'm sucking in general
- All the above make me wanna suck my thumb
Maybe it's not that bad, but I know things can be better. I know I can be better, if only I put some energy in. Problem is, I feel drained. Yesterday I spent most of my free time laying around in the livingroom, in my bedroom, and outside (the weather was great) I'm just so tired at the moment. I probably have to learn to regulate my energy better.
all sucking aside, I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately. Yesterday, I cross-watched two. One was about Einstein's brains, and the other about king Tutankhamun. In the former they tried to find out if Einstein's geniality was biological and still in Einstein's preserved brains there to prove he was unique. And the latter was about king Tut: body, happenings, and curse.
The Einstein-documentary: that was incredibly stupid. Usually, the truth is something in between various opinions and suggestions of various persons. In this case we had two persons with two different opinions, and both were trying to convince the other. One said: It's biological, which means it should still be there in that jar, filled with Einstein's brains and some liquid to keep the brains good. *wrinkles nose at thought* Number two said: No, it's not biological, which means Einstein's thoughts are gone forever.
I was watching it, wondering why on earth you would examine this. Because I got fed up with the discussion quite quickly, and I always think I have to comment on everything someone says, and because I talk to the tv when watching, I started explaining my thoughts on the subject, to no-one in particular.
My explanation:
He (Albert Einstein) must have had a lot of time on his hands. When you've got a lot of time on your hands, in which it's not possible to do something else (like at work in an office) you start thinking about things. Because you've got a lot of time to think, you over-think the subject and decide the first conclusion wasn't right, so you change it. And then...you go reflecting again...and changing again...and so on, and so on. At some point your theory (about whatever you've been thinking) must be right, cause you passed every fact. So, that would mean, Einstein was not a genius; he was just bored.
Move on a few minutes into the documentary, and meet Albert Einstein (a fake, anyone could tell ;-P) And this is Mr. Einstein's explanation *ponders if I should copy and paste the previous piece*:
At his work, he didn't have all that much to do. So he started asking himself questions, the kind of questions children ask. Next he starts thinking about it, comes up with a solution, reflects, comes up with a slightly different and better solution, reflects and bla bla bla. In the end, out of the 100 conclusions, 99 of them were wrong, and 1 is right. (I quoted that almost literally. No, I don't remember the exact words, d'oh!)
Okay, because I came up with the same explanation, does that make me a genius as well? No, don't think so.
Turned out, Einstein thought about stuff in an obsessive way; his level of concentration on one subject was higher than with general persons. This resulted in long thinking sessions, and some biological development. Like training your muscles, parts of the brain grow (might, they're not sure, there's a chance Albert got born with it) Obviously, the excersized parts will grow. It appeared one piece of the brain was way bigger than in general. Also, in this area of Einstein's brain, one connection was not as visible as it usually is with human beings. Maybe, this could be a biological asset helping Einstein figuring out the whole theory of relativity.
That documentary had me shaking my head. More than half of my thoughts were performed and confirmed, kind of....
So, does that make me a genius without any theory (cause Einstein did it before I even got born ;-))? Or, does that mean I'm just as bored as Einstein?
I vote for the latter.

Everything goes smoothly for a change
Things didn't get to a boiling point, it actually went quite smoothly, and really boring. I'll be having my first two interviews this week; one on thursday, and the other on friday. This means, I won't be in office, but traveling. Good thing the Netherlands isn't too big.
To be honest, at the moment, there's not much to say. Busy time didn't even allow me to think about my life, but I suppose I'm pretty happy right now. Everything is dragging on, and when I remember what I had to say, I'll come back.
Three days update
I've been meaning to write a story, and I do have some ideas, but I never get round to work them out, just like I've been meaning to drawn certain drawnings, but once again; I never got round to work on them.
It's not that I'm really that busy, cause I'm not. When I'm at internship I kind of trying to constantly reorganize my planning, and to get my knowledge about information (searching) and technologies back on track. At home I'm mainly wasting my time with listening music, and....well, wasting my time.
Okay, so internship. I'm busy making appointments for the interviews, and miraculously and of course, a lot went wrong. I selected the wrong customers (apparently) and the Business Unit Manager let me know after I actually made the first appointment, and he gave a selection of customers that didn't exactly fit in the wish-patern we (my internship guide, department manager and me) were trying to walk. So anyway, I'm only three weeks behind on schedule (hence the reorganizing)
Spare time activities have been....Like I said before, I kind of assisted in building a site, and on a certain board there has been some fuss about a) what site I was talking about, b) what information I was talking about, c) which site is protected and how, and d) from which site is copying information allowed? Not a funny discussion, cause first I had to explain there's a new site, second I had to explain it is protected (poorly, but surely) and third; information on the site I'm talking about is not there for free copying and distributing around on the net. I'm not sure, but I think I won the fight.
So, that was the lost three dates updated. I'll get back with more, things are getting to a boiling point.
I have issues!
I know I tend to write things that might offend, or at least annoy people. I never mean to hurt or offend anyone, and I only sometimes intend to annoy someone.
I was having these guilt-strokes in bed, when thinking and rolling around in the heat (Yes, people, Dutchland had an early summer introduction this year) and figuring I might take some of blogs of, about all except for the starting blog. I vowed tho, to never edit (only to take out grammar or spelling mistakes) or delete any blogs. These blogs are pure me, and in real life you can take things back you once said, but you're not able to take memories of 'the said' back. So I'm gonna leave them where and how they are.
To clear some things up:
1. I don't hate the Jude Cole fans, in fact, I love them. They're my new family.
2. I don't have anything against Dr. Jane Fitch (that's her name, right)
3. Not all organizations have shitty sites, tho most have, including the one I'm working for.
and
4. Cereal pancakes are probably not bad in the morning (if they exsist)
Okay, it's monday morning, so bear with me. I over-slept again (my monday-morning blues) and here I am sitting with a head full of sand (or something else heavy) drumming away on my keyboard, apologizing for things I only starting to feel bad about, cause people started reacting. I love you all, I really do! I told Rob about a million times, and I think Tess just knows. Finner and Janet don't probably, while I don't talk that much to her (Finner) and I only know her (Janet) since a week. I'm typing this blog also, cause there's a chance some of the Jude Cole/Ironwork group members, might wander over here to see what the hell I have to say. Tho I think they pretty much know what I have to say, cause I'm bad at shutting up in the group. Btw, Janet, come forward in there!
My apologies are getting lost in this blog.
Okay, my general apologies to everyone I'll annoy/offend now and in the future.
