  1. A Bit of Dark Irony

    Yesterday I happened to write this poem as a bit of fun horror (mostly just to amuse myself) about a Dentist who made a deal with a sort of evil Tooth Fairy like creature. The main inspiration being the idea was this group I belong to online called Themes of Horror which provides a list of themes for members to then use to create a work of art in any medium. I just happened to randomly pick Dentists as my next theme to use and one of my favorite modern horror films was this movie that I saw some ...

  2. Short Term Predictions: Accurate or Entertaining?

    by , 04-09-2013 at 08:39 AM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    If you pay any heed to predictions, then your choice is between those extremes: entertaining or accurate. The two seldom mix, because the accurate ones simply predict more of the same, while the entertaining one are correct so seldom that you might as well say that they are never right.

    If you want the Second Coming of Jesus, or Klaatu (or whatever his name was) to land on the White House lawn, or whatever amusing things phony seers are predicting to happen, then you will have to ...

  4. Is there life outside my house?

    by , 04-08-2013 at 05:13 AM (day in a life)
    Now this is gonna sound evil maybe but I don't care. I have a really smart friend, she can see things in another light and way I just don't get. She has always written the best essays and gotten the highest marks. Now twice I have gotten a better grade, my last essay I got 8 and she got 7 and in a test I got 7.5 and she got 7. This has done wonders for my self esteem. I didn't think I'd ever get better grades. I have worked very hard on my projects this semester cause I want to get higher grades ...

If everything does have a cause, and we can determine all of the causes that are having effects on a time and place, then it should be possible to predict what will happen. In theory it is quite simple, but in practice it isn’t quite so easy.

    I have read a fair amount of literature, both fiction and non-fiction, ...
