why i wont become an anglican

to put it in one word
tradition

perhaps this is the anti-institutional, anti-establishment part of me rearing its ugly head
but yes
part of me just shudders at the idea of the amount of authority we assign to concepts and practices that people develop and pass down through the ages

i mean granted, men though lacking intelligence in general do come up with practices and ideals that should be passed down for posteriety

but the church has done some nasty things in the name of tradition

we insisted that the earth was flat, and perscuted people speaking in tongues in the name of tradition
heck, if we wanted to be purist, we would have stuck with the catholic church of england,

even now, part of me wonders how in the name of tradition we can embrace gender inequality and racial lines

primes

been trying to squeeze in more reading now since my holidays started

ive realised ive got a particular weakness for fiction with subtle hints at mathematics
though the mathematics involved is often non-existant or distant limited to the characters professions.

anyways just recently read through a book called the solitude of prime numbers
quite a nice quainty story on broken, lonely people who are attracted to each other

i loved how the author toyed around with the idea of twin primes, how they exist in the infinity that is the contium of integers, and how such lonely numbers can be so close to each other, yet seperated for ever and ever

i guess 23 is a really lonely number since it is the smallest prime number barring 2 and 3, which is not part of a twin prime pair......

i figure if people were integers, we'd all be really lonely
since there is an uncountable infinity of reals between any two of us,
i figure that is probably true even if we arent integers

we'll always have an infinity of time and space between any two of us.

i just got rid of the tagboard

realised that some online bot was spamming it
i figure if the people who know me want to communicate, they know how to get me anyways

i think ive realised i need a personal assitant,

my lack of finesse and general awareness of deadlines and fine details is starting to get me in trouble

so yeah there is an opening
feel free to apply, walk in interviews are available too

looking back,
recalling how we wished that moment would last forever

we were younger then, and much wiser
so much wiser

its strange though how that one defining moment seems to only exist in my mind now
time hasnt been too kind

Sanctus Real - Whatever You're Doing

this song brought me a measure of peace i guess in the past few days.

But You’re always…. You’re always
You’re always
Out of reach

What the hell, I’m losing my marbles over
Something I can’t see
I’d build a bridge, but I doubt I’d be any closer
To where You’d be.
mt epiphany by inch chua

lifehouse- they dont write songs like this no more

Stop tell me where you going
Maybe the one you love isn't there
You're going under
But you're over it all so you don't care about all that I had to see
I'd watch you wait until you come around
Around
