So last week was “study week” or for some people, a week off. I’ll didn’t study that much, I’ll admit, but did 2 assignments (90% of one, 50% of another and prepared my lab report). I am now up to par with my mathematics too which is pretty good.I had to whip out last years lecture notes though, I’m not sure what that says about my lecturer but I have learned the content nonetheless.

So here is what I got up to last week:

Today (Sunday)

Slept in til 1pm, did some Fluids work. Generally mucked about. Planned to go for a long ride but was too tired.

Saturday

Went for a few rides, almost learnt a 180 degree stoppie (stoppie, then rotate). Did the 2nd last question on my math assignment. Did some more website work. I have a few ideas brewing.

Friday

Did my maths assignment, except for one question and a section of another. Mucked about on my website.

Thursday

Did nothing the whole day I think. Went to Jono’s house for a while during the night

Wednesday

Hanged out at Danny and Jonesy’s new place. Fixed up my dirtbike some more. Now I need another spacer to make it complete. also watched Nitro Circus 3 with Director commentary (I didn’t know it had this til then). Also watched Rhys and Jonesy grimace while drinking their horribly unproportionate Long Island Ice Teas. Took Rhys home at the end of the night.

Tuesday

Did nothing. Probably should have studied but sometimes these things don’t happen.

Monday

Don’t think I did anything. Probably did some riding, I can’t really remember.

Sunday

Worked on my bike. Rewired it, got it to idle and installed the kill switch. Previously we had to kill it with the choke (how fitting). Stalling it might not work since there was no chain/tyre

So that was my week. Pretty boring huh? Well I am pretty brief in my descriptions but you’re somewhat right.

Have you ever been awake at night, not able to get to sleep and thought to yourself: “Where the hell did I come from?” No, I’m not talking about evolution or how your origins are part German, I’m talking about where the Universe comes from. When you think about it, the Universe, or the world in our case is pretty perfect. It just works and it has been doing that for a very long time. The Universe works well too, perhaps too well.

I was thinking about this the other day – What if we aren’t real. That everything we know isn’t real but merely a simulation; similar to the latest James Cameron flick, Avatar (I’ve had this idea for a while). Maybe other people, even aliens, play as us. Maybe 1 year in our time is an hour for them? Imagine if this was just some test? Imagine if life was just some test and you can fail. Have you ever wondered why stereotypes exist, perhaps those are similar to the different types of characters we play in games such as Battlefield or Call of Duty.

If this was a test and we were aiming to pass what would be the fail mark? Would it be suicide, bankruptcy, drug addiction? Then again, what would be the pass mark? Perhaps it is having children, earning money or just being a good person. I was thinking of how I would be going so far. What would be my “Life GPA” if you will. I wasn’t sure how to judge it though. Would giving up your seat on the bus for an elderly person increase it? I guess it would be similar to karma.

I guess my thoughts (or even theory?) is somewhat related to Buddhism. They share similar ideas such as reincarnation and karma but and not surprisingly it is the only religion I deem to be not a total load of crap. So I guess we will never know our “score” until the end and I wonder if I’ll play another game. What’s your score?
