Remember The Fifth

Take a look at this(frequency23.org). Seems the good people over at GNN.tv have been busy on making yet another great video that just as always puts those right questions in your mind.

Lengths

I just saw The Prestige and wow, that was such a good movie, and the ending. Woh. I really liked how they worked in the mysterious science of Nikola Tesla, but its how they show the lengths these men go too. All just for revenge, power, to achieve more then the other. One was willing to sacrifice his brother's life while the other was sacrificing his own. Amazing and powerful. That and David Bowie was Tesla, woh. Hahaha He is cool, well since I've seen him in The Labyrinth. Thats a good movie also, he is just a good bad guy, not evil, just on the other side of the line. Though for a real villian, Maleficent is one amazingly scary woman(Note the use of woman and not lady.)

As an aside, I've figured out the last part of my Classical exam. Hahaha simply really, just goes to show that assuming is not a good thing to do unless you stand on firm ground.

Going Back

I've returned to the famous Occult Forums(it sure seems famous because the first time and most recently that I was there, they were down because someone hacked their site). My first time there I was under another name and well I wasn't there long. Though now that their site is back up(cross your fingers!), I've decided to return.

When writing my introduction, which I did the first time I signed up, I rather amazed myself at how I wrote. I think it was very well done, almost professional, though at the very least different enough for me to notice. You can read it here:

Hello all. This is a bit of a return for me, since I did used to have an account here, but that was some time ago and it seems the forums have gone through some down time that it doesn't matter who my last identity was, since this is me now. Though just like last time, I am stopping in to say hello and a bit about myself.

Science has always been my passion, though it wouldn't be fair to say that its the only thing that interest me. Its kinda sad to see how few people find wonder in the small everyday things, and I think its that trait that keeps my eyes open. That and my own history has also left the door open for my own explorations into the occult, though I certainly wouldn't call them serious treks. I may or may not be posting, but do keep in mind that I will stop by and read from time to time.

Sincerely,
Yatima Meiji.

Too bad I just can't post the link, seems they don't let guests view the boards anymore, how sad.

In other news, I'm working on my take home exams for both Modern and Classical Physics. Wow, Modern was a breeze, but Classical is kicking my ass right now, I hope she returns my call for help, oh well.

B4

I feel I should talk about before, the last post I mean. Yes I know it sounds, well it is very juvenile, but that's just how I was feeling at the time, I can't help that I am an emotional guy. It does explain my partial empathy ability, and also leads some credence to my psychic abilities. Yes you read that right.

I'm mainly talking about using them in the form of magick. I'm not what you would call a practicing mage, but I do know a few things and have had some results. Speaking of which, I'm planing on doing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (Not the best link, but to those who want to know more, ask, or better yet just find out on your own) tonight to just clear the air. Seems there have been a few spectral happenings here, which make some sense since we have been in our new home for almost over five years. We humans give off a lot of energy, so its no wonder things build up, or things get attracted. Though its up to us to then clean house. Wish me luck because as a down side to my emotional abilities, I tend to scare easy.

Aftermath

So I know I didn't blog while I was at APS, but after that first day, I was just glad to hang out and then get some sleep, which was not enough. Though its afterwards that's the most relevant to my emotional and psychological being. It was me, our president, and a guy I'll call Bob. Well on the ride back home, we would chat the time away and then of course it came to his history of being in the Marines. I'm proud of my dad and all that he has done, but then to have this guy Bob come in and start bashing on me and him just because of our Air Force history was just wrong. Though I wouldn't let on about that, especially to the likes of him.

Then the day before while we were still in Arlington, he asks if I have a girlfriend and I have to say no. He then turns around and makes it into a joke, you know, the whole "Go get a girlfriend," insult. All this just because I happen to let on that I'm into other things besides physics. In the car I was talking about towels, because I had worked in Target as an overnight stocker. I said it in a jokingly way about how I liked Egyptian cotton best(Which is true, but I know how it can sound), and he says how I need a girlfriend. Then later that evening, he does it again when I tell them about my cursed deck of cards. I had used them in a game where you talk to the dead. So lets just say that I don't really like this guy.

The whole reason for this trip was to bond better with my fellow physics class mates, but I feel that nothing of the sort happened. Our president is just has high strung as ever, I really don't like Bob, Matt is nothing I need(A loud and angry drunk), Alex seems cool, but he is better friends with Matt, and Kelly, well Kelly is really cool and smart, but no reason for us to be friends. She is a grad student doing real work, and I'm this lowly undergrad. Things are just as they have been, oh well.

The Night(Day) Before

Ok so its not night yet(yea I know its only 11:43am here), but I liked the title since I'll be leaving for Arlington tomorrow. I went to Target to buy my travel goodies, haha it reminds me of that Expedia commercial where the guy waves to the mini toiletries at the cash register, that and the one with the cat on top of a mound of cat food and the voice over saying, "Let the cats fend for themselves." I still need to pack, which I will do tonight, and put some music together on my minidisc. I also got a hair cut, and I did check on our president to make sure she got the oil change. Don't want to SUV to explode on us, which is a joke she didn't really laugh at, haha.

Otherwise things are good.

October 1st, 2006

So things have been going strangely well so far. I managed to get most of my homework done to a level worth turning in for any grade. Classical is still kicking my ass since the problems are very far removed from what our professor and the book explains. Its one of those books that requires you to make a lot of mental leaps, not that I'm not able to, it just takes a while for it to happen on my own.

The APS meeting is still on, though I'm still worried about money, since I wont be paid until the day after we leave, so I may have to ask the folks for a bit of cash. That and I still don't know the sleeping arrangements yet.

Anyways things are still good and hopefully they get better.
