I ended up with a $2 lawn sprinkler for our white elephant gift exchange thing at work. it rocks and doesn't even sprinkle right.
my dad also just told me to buy christmas gifts now unless I "want to deal with mindless shopping idiot zombies." so if you buy any presents after today my father just called you an idiot.
"life is a measure of how much you influence other matter. if we take a man and put him in a cave where he lives without organizing anything, does he really "live" outside of switching some oxygen with carbon dioxide? At the most he would resemble a particle or a collection of recorded chemical exchanges. so in terms of combating disorder, "life" is the tendency for matter to copy itself. existence would then be related to progessively larger groups of clumped order. being original is the best form of ignorance life has."
