The Interesting Thing About Words~

It is not so much the completeness of the sentence, but the words within the sentence.  If a sentence contains words like: may, could, probably, might, and I am sure there are others, one who pays attention would realize that there is uncertainty there or the inadvertent relating of the opposite thereof the subject matter.  Meh.  Hell, as if I don’t know this.  Being rat (Doors, Bridges, and Rat Behavior) and looking for back doors, windows, and alternative routes, I am prepared.  I would be foolish not to be.  Hence, I am packed to the gills and ready to go it alone.  Might that not have been my objective last year?  Why yes.  Now looking at win/win scenarios (Pudding and Pi), I can’t lose.  That is my positive objective.  That is always my objective.  It does make for a happy camper.

When looking at “Breath,” the words “all is only a stone’s throwaway” does bear meaning, however, I shan't elaborate on that.

Doors, bridges, and rat behavior...

Some doors are big and some doors are small, but in a way they are like bridges.  If you need to ask how so, then perhaps you should examine what they both do.  If a door is locked one cannot get to the other side.  Mind you windows and back doors may be available, but much like a broken or burned bridge, one would have to take an alternate route or be left on the other side.  Doors and bridges provide passageways to a straight destination when in good form.  One can open a door fairly easy if one is the owner and has maintained it.  If locked, the owner would always have the key.  However, when the proverbial door is not yours you could close it on yourself and be locked on the other side.  It is like burning a bridge.  Doors and bridges are but virtual passageways that we design with our own mind.  Personally, I like built in back doors (yes plural), halls, and windows.

All in all, rats don’t like to be cornered and will seek the nearest exit or attack and run.   Wall runner. ~ Maggie ~ July 5, 2009 @ 8:34 p.m. EST

Rat behavior:  The present research aimed to evaluate the role of 5-HT1A receptors in the modulation of maternal aggressive behavior and anxiety in female rats. Although, in a functional sense, parental aggression is a defensive protective behavior [1], the form and the topography of the behaviors displayed by a female rat with pups against a conspecific intruder share some similarities with the offensive behavior of males in colonies against subordinates and/or intruders. However, different from males, the aggressive behavior of lactating female rats comprises another strategy that is less contact-orientated which is characterized by the frontal attack (jump attack) directed to the head or snout of the intruder [2] and its form and topography have some similarities with the defensive explosive jump attack of a cornered rat by a predator.

Addendum:  Page 39: intraspecific competition is quite interesting.

Pudding and Pi~
This day I sit and wonder about the morrow.  I shan’t lay odds of this nor that as I too am responsible in the outcome of it all.  I too play a role.  What law of probability could be used when I am affecting the outcome?  Aye.  It is like I have loaded the dice so that I may win.  Win you say?  Why yes.  Certainly.  Does not one play to win?  Goals and objectives.  Yo.  I see that glass over there and I want it.  However, it has to walk over to me.  Nay!  That is for the lame and tame of heart.  Barrel through!  I go after what I want to a degree (360) which is usually pi.  Yet...  Me thinks and wonders about words of tongue which slips through channels and is digested through waters which are like rapids.  Ah yes.  The burning of wood yet again. Can you smell it?  All in all it reverts back to values.  Alas, where do values lie?  I suppose I shall see as the proof is in the proverbial pudding.  For thirteen years pi came numerous times as the wheel spun and the cycle repeated for I contributed to the outcome of perpetuation.  However, just once and only once did I truly cut the pie and thus ended the perpetuation. ~ Maggie ~ July 1, 2009 @ 9:33 p.m. EST


Main article: Einstein-Bohr debates

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle were in fact seen as twin targets by detractors who believed in an underlying determinism and realism. Within the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, there is no fundamental reality the quantum state describes, just a prescription for calculating experimental results. There is no way to say what the state of a system fundamentally is, only what the result of observations might be.

Albert Einstein believed that randomness is a reflection of our ignorance of some fundamental property of reality, while Niels Bohr believed that the probability distributions are fundamental and irreducible, and depend on which measurements we choose to perform. Einstein and Bohr debated the uncertainty principle for many years.

Breath~

She breathes in deeply as she contemplates the future.  “Who makes the future?” she thinks to herself.  “Why I do” she says.  Choices are freedom.  Relaxing in a styled-manner more akin to a piece of marble than to that of flesh knowing that for every action there is a reaction and marble does not move....  For every inaction there is a consequence.  Yes.  Knowing.  Bright eyes reach out and seek, but if only the eyes moved, they would accomplish nothing.  What transmissions that she lays in neural pathways make way to what will be or not.  Marble to dust on the breath of wind dost move to the direction that is cast.  All is only a stone’s throwaway. ~ Maggie ~ July 1, 2009 @ 6:55 p.m. EST    

There are NO typos.  The WORDS are correct.

The Clown~

I am a barrel of laughs.  Open the barrel and you will find a clown with a painted smile or not just painted, but more at twisted to form.  Life is funny even with all the shit that surrounds one.  Laughing helps ease much.  However, it does not make one a fool.  That is the way I feel.  That is the way I live my life.  My life is built from my past.  I have burned to learn what I have learned. I used to house the following in my wallet which was something I had written in the 80's.  “What is reality?  What is, will always be, or a speculation of what we conceive things to be?”  May we be so bold as to conceive our lives once we recognize our power to do so?  Therefore, would the smile “twisted to form” suit me well and not be pseudo in nature? Aye.  ~ Maggie ~ May 14, 2009 @ 2:21 p.m. EST

The Male Rat Race~

Today was let’s hit on Maggie day.  Two man of opposite characters and financial circumstances were vying for my attention today at the same time.  Both asked if the other was hitting on me and to both I said yes.  One treated me for dinner (the lawyer) and the other will see me tomorrow (the trucker).  It was just interesting to watch them compete.  The competition was a subtle one, but nonetheless it was there.

Most woman would go for the older more wealthy type of guy for whatever reason.  However, I do not.  I saw something lacking in him and I saw him as not taking responsibility for his actions/decisions.  For a lawyer (tax law), you would think he would be more logical.  What bothered me the most was when he stated that he wanted to utilize my mind to make money. I view that as exploitation and I told him so.  I call a spade a spade. You would think that my criticism of him would have scared him off, but it didn’t.  I was as blunt as a hammer.  I won’t get into all the details of how bluntly honest with him that I was, but he took every kick in the pants I could dish out.

In regard to the trucker, he is a nice dude who I have met before.  When he asked if I had a boyfriend, I said that I do not, but I am in love with someone who I will be meeting up with very soon.  Why should I lie?  The label of boyfriend and girlfriend are not there but my love of him is.  Do I need the label?  Nah. I was not lying when I said this either.  I explained to him that what is is until it isn’t as are all things.  Having a male friend or friends is not bad so long as he/they knows the boundaries and do not exceed them.  I trust he will not exceed them.  He did ask if I was trying to scare him off as well, but I stated that if that were my intent, I would show him my crazy and my weapons.  This appealed to him.  Go figure.

The lawyer said that I should not lower myself to tent vacations.  Lower myself I said?  When I asked him if his money gave him happiness or grief, he found himself unfulfilled and stated that he needs guidance.  That is not something that can be given.  Suggestions were offered in regard to looking into himself and altering that which he already recognizes and problematic.  When one seeks only the material, they are hallow.  When one seeks the intangible, they are fulfilled.  Maybe he will find fulfillment if he seeks it out himself within himself.

Well, tomorrow I get to look into the trucker’s cab to have an idea of what the living quarters look like for a full time trucker.  He said he would straighten it up so that I could have a look see.  He was humble and honest and I appreciated that.

Lest I forget a funny part, the lawyer asked if the trucker was single and my response was yes.  Do you want to go out with him?  LOL

Oh what a day. ~ Maggie ~ July 17, 2009 @ 1:13 p.m. EST

HONEY~

Mine gray/greens see thee before I get there
Me canst help but see thee
The anticipation builds
Ah, the culmination
A climax like a volcanic eruption
Lava flows from thought
Thought brought forward on a wave
Tidal in nature
Ebb not, but rise to the occasion!
Tis but a celebration of the connection
Thy honey in color a grand design
Spell bound to thee I be
See thee but soon
Tis not soon enough
Thine eyes move me! ~ Maggie ~ July 15, 2009 @ 6:04 p.m. EST

Share Time~

Meh.  I read several books at once and I am in the middle of all three.  However, I will share of Dawkins today.  Although many things interest me. I especially like to form brain-loaded probability theories and strategic maneuvers.  If you think about it, it is rather mathematical or if you prefer, it runs like background programs all playing at once.  Are you aware that you do these things?  I am aware that I do.

From Dawkins’ The Blind Watchmaker:

Pg. 231

“Our brains have been built by natural selection to assess probabilities and risk, just as our eyes have been built to assess electromagnetic wavelength.  We are equipped to make mental calculations of risk and odds, within the range of improbabilities that would be useful in human life.”

Further down the page...

“Evolution has equipped our brains with a subjective consciousness of risk and improbability suitable for creatures with a lifetime of less than one century.  Our ancestors have always needed to take decision involving risks and probabilities, and natural selection has therefore equipped our brains to assess probabilities against a background of the short lifetime that we can, in any case, expect.”

Pg. 233

“Not only are our brains equipped by nature to assess risks of things in a short time, they are also equipped to assess risks of things happening to us personally, or to a narrow circle of people that we know.”

MY BONUS SECTION:  Pgs. 249 - 250

“Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, which replicates and propagates itself entirely independently of the main DNA in the chromosomes of the nucleus.  All the mitochondria in you are descended from the small population of mitochondria that travelled [sic] from your mother in her egg.  Sperms are too small to contain mitochondria, so mitochondria travel exclusively down the female line, and male bodies are dead ends as far as mitochondria reproduction is concerned.  Incidentally, this means that we can use the mitochondria to trace our ancestry, strictly down the female line.”
