Nonsense

We were discussing quantum physics and the possibility of eleven different parallel universes when everything suddenly fell into place.

like this:

--the game of tetris, circa 1980? first used by Russian consmonauts to enchance spacial reasoning ability. i first played it in 1989, probably, -- i remember the day still -- i had to pass the first level to enter into my neighborhood Ninteno Club (which consisted of only 2 other boys -- Wow, and Elite group!). Thing is, i couldn't pass the first level. Not back in 1989. Nope. My spacial reasoning abilities were subpar.

But the boys let me into the club anyway. Instead of passing the first level of Tetris i just had to win a game of jeopardy, or something. . . We were so inclusive, and supportive of eachother, in those days. Our club really wasn't elitist -- it's just that my peer group of that age only consisted of one or two people, so the club was composed of the few people who i knew and who wanted to participate in it.

Now here's the thing. had i been playing "Quantum Tetris" (tetris with 11 parallel universes, potentially, and the possibility of matter to flow through matter (since matter is mosty composed of empty space, anyway)) well, certainly, i may have been able to finish that first level. . . I think it was the linear nature of the way the peices fell into that two-dimensional space that threw me off. My mind probably simply disliked working in two dimentions.--

So, we were discussing this theory, and things fell into place, like i said earlier. Jesus suddenly was able to walk on water. And i was able to make two mutually exclusive decisions at one moment in time. In my dreams i might go universe hopping, check out my parallel self: perhaps in childhood my parallel self really did try to cut my head of with a pair of scissors, instead of just threatening to do so.

Where are these words coming from? Ahh. . . i had a dream lastnight about that childhood friend, the creator of the Nintendo club. . . I wonder what he is up to now. Haven't seen him in quite awhile.
