This is what I wrote last night but could not post because LJ was down.
Tests clear way for "Big Bang" experiment
( Article under the cut )
I have a love/hate relationship with this kind of stuff. I'm fascinated; I adore wacky physics in as much as I am able to understand it; I love quantum, I love particles and collisions and big bangs and I love living in a time interesting enough where humans can create these events. I love it overwhelmingly.
Yet another part of me feels that humans perhaps shouldn't be messing with the infinitely small and portentous, and that money could be better spent etc. I feel the same way about the space program. I love it, I would go into space if I could. Yet a small part of me thinks, "But, why? Just because we can?"
Yes, I supposed just because we can.
Oh, everyone who showed up to the party and got pictures was so pleased! I mean like, incredibly pleased! I'll post them (yes, MORE,) once I make them small enough and finish the set. Sifu really liked them and wants to use some in advertising. How about that? Neat, huh? ^_^
Also, I trained my stupid face off. I was actually wiped out by the end of the first class. Good stuff! It felt good after that slice of peach pie on Saturday. :D
I MISS MY GOD(DESS)DAUGHTER! VERY MUCH WITH THE MISSING, OKAY!!! AND SB TOO!
Okay, had to get that out of my system.
And today, I want to upload a few more pics. They are small so I'm not going to cut them.
What I ended up doing that night at the photo party was ripping off the Mah Jongg oracle. The cards / characters of Peach, Peacock, Pine, Chrysanthemum, all represent different things and the people who showed up ended up being perfect. Maybe it was meant to be.
The pine is associated with a man in his prime. He's not as authoratative or aggressive as the tiger, but does not bend as easily as the willow. The pine can weather the severest storms, therefore it represents someone resolute; a man of firmness as well as skill.
The Peach denotes a young and beautiful girl, usually in her teens, feminine, youthful and lovely. She looks ahead to her future. She represents feminine charm and hope for the future.
The Peacock symbolizes the woman in her prime who is content with her life. In Chinese Mah Jongg cards, she is depicted looking into the mirror, the symbolism of which is that she is looking both back to her childhood and forward to her future.
Finally, the Chrysanthemum represents the refined, mature woman. It signifies the grace, charm and kindness that come with life experience.
Those are just a few of the pics that I gave to the people who took part. Ideally I would love to call "DO OVER" and do the whole thing again with more people and more light. Because everyone who didn't get a photo like this was kind of jealous. Well, you should have come to my party, then! :P
Ands then me being dead with photoshopped blood and hair:
LOL!
Neat, huh? Now tonight there is a Kung Fu seminar, whoop whoop! This guy is the last teacher of his style of Kung Fu, and his eldest student doesn't want to teach it, so the style is going to die out if he doesn't pass it on. That's why it's only twenty dollars to sign up. Apparently he was talking to my Sifu online and basically asked if he could have some students, just because he doesn't want the style to die out. What a shame, right? For something so ancient to just be forgotten.
So I'm going to try to make it to that tonight even though it is across the goddamn Island. ^_^
Hope you are all enjoying the fading summer days. The sun's a little different now, right? The angle, the heat, all that stuff. Enjoy it while it lasts. :)
