Scientists in the most recent issue of Nature unveiled vital information about Dark matter. I tell you what. I've been to lectures on dark matter. I've read articles about astrophysics, the creation of galaxies, and yes, dark matter. You know what I don't have the SLIGHTEST understand of, even after giving it the old college try? Dark matter. I don't have a clue. It's this matter, or not, and you can't see it, but it's the majority of the mass in the universe. Oh yeah that makes total sense. Umm... this is where I pout. I have a pretty big brain, certainly relative to just about everyone I see in my daily life, but I cannot wrap my head around astrophysics. Someday they're going to teach this shit in highschool, and my 11th grade AP physics student daughter is going to come home and try to get me to help her with homework, and I'm just going to sit there and be a bad parent. All the more reason to get a Newfie and forget procreation.
In other news, we are 19 minutes from Valentine's Day being over. And while part of it was charming, and consisted of beating the pants off Ramsey in Scrabble, the bit before this entry consisted of some awkward. I met this girl Allison out and well... I don't think either of us knew whether we had "intentions" about this drink, and I know I was too embarrassed to ask. But she's really really cute, and since the meathead was actually RUDE to me today, on Valentine's Day, I need something and someone as different as possible. *sigh* I cannot understand why he felt he needed to be mean today. Jeez louise I get the point, you're not interested, but you don't have to shove it in my face. I'm single on the day that Capitalist America makes it very clear that the right way to be is not that, and I am not always up to laughing my way through the whole thing.
