Life is like the sand in your shoe, the impossible dream of time travel, or that half empty bag of chips. If only all things came in cans like Pringles, the world would be a better place. The only problem with this solution is that life would be greasy. Another lesson that should have been learned after reading this is to change your socks daily and that a battle with sand can never be won. Best wishes to Kentucky and Keebler with the difficult greasy road ahead of them, especially if this road is covered with a militia of demonic dirt forces. Also, remember not to start an essay six hours before they are due like some acquaintances of Joseph Piccoli. Silk definitely makes for the most comfortable pair of boxers. Always remember, that if ever time travel becomes possible to eliminate the quandary that is Thomas Finneran. If ever, during your travels through life you happen upon Mike’s Pastries on Hanover Street, pick me up a piece of strawberry cheesecake. I’ll pay you back

Life as we know it is wonderful, beautiful, yet extremely ugly. Life is like the sand in your shoe, the impossible dream of time travel, or that half empty bag of chips. The world would be a better place if everyone just knew what they wanted or who they were. Instead, we all go around always trying to figure out the most basic questions and assuming we know the answers to the difficult ones.

One of the few possibilities of time travel is a rotating charged black hole. Once one goes in orbit of the black hole, they can escape, but only into a different part of the universe. This does not require you to fly into or through a black hole. The region of space that they are ejected to could be a different area of space or a different time, since these are both dimensions of our world. The problem with this theory is that there are no charged rotating black holes. It is slightly plausible that one could shoot projectiles into a charged black hole to cause it to rotate; however, at some point, the mass of the projectiles required to speed of the black hole any further would be infinite. Therefore, this project is impossible.

“The connection between genius and madness has long been debated. The genius is someone who fuses knowledge with insight into the nature of reality, someone who has the ability to see things with utter clarity and awe-inspiring comprehension. What separates the genius from the madman is that the genius, in addition to extraordinary insights, has the ability to see them correctly, within their context. The genius perceives patterns which are actually present, whereas the madman imposes patterns, projecting erroneous perceptions onto every circumstance. The genius may sometimes seem to be out of touch with reality, but only because he or she operates at a more profound level. The madman, however, is truly out of touch with reality, having nothing but delusions to substitute for it.” (Personality Types. Riso & Hudson, p. 174). What makes this theory interesting is that brilliance can be seen as insanity. People with these personalities are most likely ambivalent to both parents. They believe that nothing they can do will be wanted or needed by their family. Therefore, they feel helpless and incapable, causing them to look for areas of expertise and try to develop mastery at these skills to make them capable and competent. This personality fears being overpowered, and detaches itself from the environment, only identifying with their own thoughts. They often have great phobias of almost everything, although the genius will find solutions to these problems while the madman fears things that do not actually exist. These are my problems.
