    Just came up with a good theory to add to my set, explaining the reason from the Quantum level to the Macro level the scenarios go from an chaotic situation to a stable situation.
    Jotting down the notes right now.
    I love when this shit happens. :cool:

    Well, that's just the point...it's pointless until I prove it...or flesh it out enough to put a paper out on it.
    But it's the web equivalent to saying, "Eureka!"
    And those are the moments I live for.

    And yes, I'm audacious (or crazy) enough to even wish that my ideas may merit a win like that.
    But I also know, there are many really good ideas that don't win or are even cited. - Link

    You just have to have them, flesh them out...then take the time & effort to work on it,
    all the while dealing with yourself and the chaos of life (or despite it...)
    then have the bravery/insanity to put it out there in public.

    At the moment, I'm one of those who work mostly by pondering ideas, fleshing them out on my own.
    Asking the right people (pros & profs) portions of it, leading questions...but never the whole thing.
    And I'm building the momentum, substance and confidence to put something out there sometime.

    It doesn't help that I'm formally not in the field nor do I have the official accreditation. Or I could be just delusional too...a crackpot.
    I just know that I haven't been wrong yet...
    and that when I do interact with the pros (the ones that get it) they don't say I'm wrong, they're blown away...
    and they direct me to another contact that I can work with. (cause what I've said is beyond them)

    It's a strange thing.
    But it has happened in the past with other significant findings and ideas.
    I'm just trying to figure out how to present it, when to do so and who to.

    It worries me, yet I need to do it.
    Otherwise, it is lost.

    How do you want to shout it out to the world,
    but want to hide and curl up into yourself at the same time??
    Crow & Cry

    And when I find someone who's willing to listen and try to grasp...I end up being like a little boy talking about going to see disneyland.
    And sometime I try...and their eyes gaze over ...or they even sneer. (it's always great when you're looked as a curious zoo animal...)

    And so it's all pointless...until, it isn't.
    I'm waiting for that day.

    In the meantime, I'm worried about my night out, my job status, bills and the date I have next weekend. (oh, Squirrel!!)
    And my mind keeps a'chuggin' behind the scenes... :rolleyes:

    My Clash of Clans village was attacked by "a Masked Rider" and then 3 hrs. later by "The Lone Ranger".
    Totally different clans and one heck of a co-inkydink.

    @speed_gibson, you make me laugh. I found 30 rock to be hilarious, and I watched it every Thursday.

    Pulp fiction is a great movie. It's the one that put John Travolta back on the map after he was gone for so long. That being said, I am a huge fan of Tarantino and this is one of his movies. There are so many quotable moments from it. I think four rooms is now on netflix. Tarantino was associated with that. And of course kill bill one and two are on netflix as well.

    I am so dull edge on many aspects of current pop culture. I can tell you all about Jack Benny and his excellent radio show over the years, the original Gunsmoke (love it), Suspense, etc, but never have watched many popular shows (at least for more than 30 seconds) like American Idol, Survivor, or shows such as 30 Rock. Generally a show has to hit at least series 5 AND Netflix before I get to the pilot even. I can feel my IQ dropping just seeing trailers for Survivor,etc and have no interest in that drek.

    A prime example...I just watched the pilot (via one of the free tv sites) for the new Hawaii Five-O last month. The only thing I really liked in it was seeing Jack Lord's 1974 Mercury sitting in the garage. Might try to watch an episode picked at random at some point but my motivation to do so is not that high after the poor opening.
    --- merged: Nov 1, 2014 5:24 AM ---
    But never mind me, just talking about quality entertainment has me in the mood to listen to the Lone Ranger now...or perhaps some other show I choose when I browse through my extensive OTR digital collection on the server. Might even choose the show that was the source of this screen name.

    Yeah, I watched the first ten seasons of survivor, religiously. Then I was done. I have lost my taste for most reality shows, though gold rush keeps pulling me back in.

    Had fun with @zen on Skype when a few of the trick or treat kids, came along. One of the boys was dress like a cheerleader.
    They were so cute and little guys. They got to talk to this Englishman on a Ipad. It was great fun!!

    I was at a friend's Halloween party earlier and I'm unsure of whether one of my fellow guests who I wasn't introduced to and didn't have a chance to talk to was actually Araianna Huffington.

    Got a new Samsung S5 active. I like it, but it's big. I don't think it will fit in my uniform pocket very well, and I don't want to clip it to my belt. But aside from my uniform, I like it.
