so while listening to A Brief History of Nearly Everything, i have come to the conclusion that... well, i haven't really come to a conclusion yet, but it's only because my mind is just too naive to have the capability to wrap itself around how ridiculously unbelievable our universe is. i mean, i hear the stuff he says about it and i feel like this little speck of nothing that holds absolutely no significance or value. *sigh* it's kind of refreshing. i mean, ok, i have all these things to worry about right? like school, and dance, and ass munchie boys ( :P ) , but when i listen to this audiobook, nothing seems to really matter or make any sense whatsoever. i mean, our universe is so large, so large it doesn't even make sense, and it's so complicated and undiscovered, and just.. so.. there's no word to even describe it. it's just... ridiculous! and everything that happens in this city, this country, this planet just doesn't seem to matter when you put it in relation to the universe.. nothing seems to have a point anymore.
i want to reach the end of the universe. i want to poke my head through the curtain. i want to travel a billion gazillion light years. and what the hell are light years anyway? it's like fuckin time travel shit i swear. there's just so much in this universe to know, that nobody really knows, and i want to know. i'd die to know everything there is to know. there's just a ton of stuff and when i think about all of it at once, it seems i could sit there for hours, and still not think of every possible question that there is to ask. it makes me crazy. it drives me insane. and i want to climb up the walls.
do you even realize how much of a genius Isaac Newton was? i mean, even Albert Einstein and all those other people that invented shit that seems so easy to invent now. i was thinking about this the other day. you know those levels that people use for construction? when they need to make something straight. i lay on my couch thinking, how come i couldn't think of something like that? i want to hang a picture, fill a glass of water, and use it as your guide. and when i ask myself how come i couldn't have come up with such a simple thing as that, i think of all the other things that could be invented that would seem so easy to invent after it's already been invented. i don't know if that makes any sense at all to you, but it's so overwhelming sometimes and so simple and complicated at the same time.. that.. i'm just left with nothing to say.
but back to Isaac Newton. JC, i learned last night that he invented Calculus. i mean, WHO DOES THAT?! who in there right mind invents calculus? is it even inventable? it's just one of those things you don't think about. you're born into this world thinking everything you know of, has been there forever. like it just appeared one day out of nowhere. but the thing that baffled me most, is the fact that he came up with Calculus, and hid it from the world for three decades. WHO DOES THAT?!?! and you know what else he did? he stuck some metal probe thing in his eyeball socket, moved it around a little just to see what happens. he also stared at the sun until he could not bare it anymore, and had to stay in dark rooms for several days to follow because his eyes were just so like.. burned. and he did that just to see what happened. it's just things like that that trigger something in my brain, and then chemical reactions start happening, and i start pondering things.. everything, and then i find myself sitting here writing about it and getting frustrated because i feel like there's so much to say, yet not being able to find the right words to say it with because it's just so
overwhelming.
maybe it's good not to know answers. maybe it's good to be so curious. because i'm sure knowing the answers to everything there is to know would be just as overwhelming.. if not more.
i just wanna poke my head through the curtain. i don't even have to step completely out from the curtain, i just want a peek.. because sometimes a person like me shouldn't be left with all these questions.
hmmm...
i still need an advent calendar = (
