Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke towards riff-filled land
Sleep — “Dopesmoker”

Love Passed
Today I learned a lesson well
Love will always make one dwell
Upon the past, come and gone
Ever longing for her song
Those golden eyes just grab my soul
Without her there’s a gaping hole
An endless void within my heart
The pain inside will always smart
Now we’ll always be just friends
Can the search just finally end?

Pissing people off
Last night, I decided to have a little fun with my ex over facebook. She’s been posting all these fawning messages about her boyfriend. It was cute the first ten posts, but it started to get on the nerves of a few of her friends. She was CSB’ed by one of our mutual friends, and I said “big woop”. She got pretty pissed and deleted me. People take things too seriously XD. Oh well, so it goes. In other news, I’ve been playing around with beer bottles more. Currently amassing a collection of bottles. I’ll be making a bottle marimba. My bassing is getting really awesome, I’m having so much fun. Now if only I could write tabulature, then I could actually write lyrics to go with the songs that come up. I’m still in the experimental stages, though. I need a percussionist, but I don’t know where to look. Maybe craigslist. But now I need to make some lunch. Good day, my friends.

Gravity bends more than just space. It bends time.
The early results from Gravity Probe B, one of Nasa’s most complicated satellites, confirmed yesterday ‘to a precision of better than 1 per cent’ the assertion Einstein made 90 years ago - that an object such as the Earth does indeed distort the fabric of space and time.
But this - what is referred to as the ‘geodetic’ effect - is only half of the theory. The other, ‘frame-dragging’, stated that as the world spins it drags the fabric of the universe behind it.
[…]
According to Einstein, in the same way that a large ball placed on a elasticated cloth stretches the fabric and causes it to sag, so planets and stars warp space-time. A marble moving along the sagging cloth will be drawn towards the ball, as the Earth is to the Sun, but not fall into it as long as it keeps moving at speed. Gravity, argued Einstein, was not an attractive force between bodies as had been previously thought.
That probably didn’t clarify it any. But there’s more!
When Einstein wrote his general theory of relativity in 1915, he found a new way to describe gravity. It was not a force, as Sir Isaac Newton had supposed, but a consequence of the distortion of space and time, conceived together in his theory as ‘space-time’. Any object distorts the fabric of space-time and the bigger it is, the greater the effect.
Just as a bowling ball placed on a trampoline stretches the fabric and causes it to sag, so planets and stars warp space-time - a phenomenon known as the ‘geodetic effect’. A marble moving along the trampoline will be drawn inexorably towards the ball.
Thus the planets orbiting the Sun are not being pulled by the Sun; they are following the curved space-time deformation caused by the Sun. The reason the planets never fall into the Sun is because of the speed at which they are travelling.
According to the theory, matter and energy distort space-time, curving it around themselves. ‘Frame dragging’ theoretically occurs when the rotation of a large body ‘twists’ nearby space and time. It is this second part of Einstein’s theory that the Nasa mission has yet to corroborate.

Bottle Music
Today, I made percussion music with beer bottles. Somehow 2 bottles were in a perfect octave of each other, and the detuned scale created with the other bottles provided a very interesting sound. It made me feel like a kid again. Now all I need is another mallet. Then complex rhythm can begin.

This is it. The one and only: Infinium. This is one incredible beer, I have to say. It has the aromas of Blackcurrants and berries, with vanilla and cinnamon spice notes. The flavor is slightly sweet on the back part of the palate. The spice on the side is amazing, and the fruit aromas combine on the palate as what I describe…as sex in a bottle…this may be better than sex… The price is steep: 23.99 a bottle…but thank god I got this for free, because it KICKS ASS!!! I LOVE THIS BEER!!

This song is amazing. The drums are complicated and gorgeous, and the bass…oh the bass! I just love it!
Good evening, I am Neil. I am an aspiring chef, musician, poet, and a connoisseur of life's experiences. I've been actively expanding my palate since I was 18. I love experiencing everything. The world is a place of wonder, and the more I know, the better I can understand and appreciate everything in it. Every experience develops my sensual and mental palate, and this pursuit of knowledge drives me to new heights. I hope I can titillate your senses, emotions, and intellect with this blog. It will bring me joy to do so :)
