]]> Comment on BikeRiding – Owl City – Falling Apart – Don’t Pee On Your Girlfriend – Maslow’s Hierarchy of Shhhiit that’s not good, at least I’m pooin. by Jules http://philmccarty.com/blog/owl-city-falling-apart-dont-pee-on-your-girlfriend-maslows-hierarchy-of-shhhiit-thats-not-good-at-least-im-pooin/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Jules Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:24:47 +0000 http://philmccarty.com/blog/?p=29#comment-169 The long-time announcer for UGA football, Larry Munson, used to do (and perhaps still does) regular visits on the talk show of Neal Boortz. He is one of the most fun to listen to college football commentators ever, patently partisan, probably painfully so for non-UGA fans. People quote him as shorthand to remember big moments in GA football history. Both have a long history in Atlanta radio, and they were reminiscing about this one day. Boortz asked him how he'd prepared for his career, what his schooling had been like. Munson said he had a professor once who made them stand up and speak as long as they could without being repetitive or resorting to "um ... um" about some random object in the classroom. He spoke for 11 minutes about the clock. Exercising in whatever fashion you can is good, if it keeps you moving forward. Blogs are for whatever you want them to be. Somehow, even when you think you're saying nothing, you still manage to convey such a detailed picture of how that nothing is happening to you it is kind of hypnotic. It's like peeking into the workings of a fantastical Mousetrap machine, and thinking "Oh! THAT'S what makes the Owl City marble roll over and bump the R Kelly lever!"

One year later. B) The LHC WON"T kill us all when it is used to it's full potential. You would most likely believe that theory if you had a degree in particle physics. I don't know if you do or don't, but i am pretty sure you don't (no offense if you do). C) "It's going to fucking kill you dead.", as opposed to killing us alive? D) They want to create the Higgs Boson, a.k.a God Particle, to test, examine, and understand the big bang theory. E) Where is the science in the 3 minute 20 year flash forward? F) Regarding the kitten, no organic matter will be used inside the LHC, so there is no potential for life to evolve inside the LHC at all. G) If the world does end then you and many other people have the added benefit of sueing CERN in heaven/hell/whatever you believe in. H) Millions of protons will be colliding with eachother at 99.9% the speed of light, so the result of nothing happening is completely rediculous. A) We’re still alive. One year later.

I definitely agree with Julie. Don't be arrogant, but never put yourself down. especially in your writing. Confident people rule the world, and get the most attention. Dude.
