today's physics notes

"When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man"

I drew a big box around this in my notebook. It was a decent distraction while my scary Swedish physics professor put some nonsense on the board about work and power.

Things I Would Like To Do In My Life (no particular order):
-punch somebody important/famous
-be punched by somebody important/famous
-fall from a great height but be okay
-amass a decent record collection
-learn to swim (getting over my fear of water first would be a good idea)
-build a trebuchet or giant rocket
-design something innovative
-be the greatest at something trivial
-move to Boston, make lots of money, have sex with a bunch of gorgeous women, then go into space in one of those
Russian rocket ships
-completely wreck a car in a really cool automobile accident
-own my own movie theater
-save somebody's life and then act all suave like I do that sort of thing all the time
-own a hovercraft and/or bipedal robot
-make one of those running backwards under the legs tennis shots to win a match
-find $5
-fight a ninja
-buy something really nice for someone (like a house)
-own and wear a plaid jacket, maybe even a set of them
-play a round of golf
-make some great archeological discovery in my backyard
-buy a really expensive pair of shoes
-produce, write, and direct a good movie
-randomly insult a stranger in public
-have sex in an elevator
-have a perfect (or damn close to) sandwich
-find a nice girl and live and die happily with her

The last one is rather corny but hey, you have to have someone to share the moments with.

Keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
