maths, cups and DIFFERENT

IM DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TODAY ALRIGHT

I HOPE YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN DECIPHERING THE TEXT, MY HANDWRITING IS, AS IM SURE YOULL AGREE, NOT OF WORLD CLASS.

PEOPLE FIND IT HOPELESSLY IRONIC THAT MY HANDWRITING IS SO POOR WHILE I CAN DRAW LIKE A BEAST

I GUESS THAT IS PRETTY IRONIC.

THIS IS RAW CRUELTY AS HAS NEVER BEEN CAPTURED BEFORE. WITH MY ART... EHRM... I MEAN RAW, UNEDITED FOOTAGE I WANT TO RAISE AWARNESS FOR ALL THE LOAVES OF BREAD THAT GET EATEN EVERY DAY. THIS CRUELTY MUST NOT GO ON.

DONATE TO ME AND I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO THAT NO MORE TOAST LIVES ARE WASTED, I PUT AN END TO THIS UNJUST SUFFERING.

Oh yeah, this brings to mind the annual hungerdagen-collection that the Finnish Red Cross arranges. I dont particiapate in these kinds of things. I dont support all that quasi-philantropy and bullshit. First of all, if I really wanted to help the poor starving children of Africa, I wouldnt just donate money to some random for-profit organization who can only claim that my money will be well spent. If I really were interested in helping, id do volunteer work, go into politics, or something like that, that actually has a veritable chance of helping the less fortunate. 

You might say, well, atleast some of the money goes to the people in need. Yeah, thats true. The Red Cross is not evil. They do try to help out, they organize all kinds of stuff nation-wide and also internationally. Theyve helped tons of people. Its just hopelessly inefficient. For the same amount of total money that these charities have been given, who knows what we could have achieved? I dont, but I do know we could have  made a better god damn job than this. We shouldnt trust these organizations so much.

I might just be a bitter old bitch, but I dont even have any incentive helping these poor starving children whatsoever. Sure, the world would be a better place if there were no poverty, no starvation, no abuse, but theres only so-so much that we can do. They need to straighten their own shit out, it hasnt got to do with lack of money, it has to do with a lacking culture. So many of the villages that charities have brought back on their feet have now become dependent on charity. 

What we need to do is build schools, educate people, and what many dont seem to realize is that they dont need that money in order to help these poor people, they need the people. Teachers, doctors, volunteers. Not money. Thats why I called this whole thing so fake and fraudulent. People are willing to give a few euros to charity, but if charity asked them to dig a ditch to help a flooded village, even though these people are the charitable folk we know and love, I dont see this digging ever getting very popular. But its ok, if you were to donate a small amount of money, then you can surely say, I HELPED STARVING AFRICAN CHILDREN TODAY, AND ALL MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN. Wait, what? Yeah, im comparing donating to charity with buying indulgences. Its fucking pathetic.

Im not driving a nail through anyones face here, im just saying, if you donated to these things, I would personally say that those 2 euros would have been better spent buying a coffee for yourself. If you want to help, great, go to africa, and help those people. Its not outside your means, if you wanted to, im sure you could. 

Well, going back to my previous entry, I promised id show you a picture of myself, dressed up as a clown. As I explained before, its for a film project that were doing in school.

Ill just say right now, I look pretty fucking creepy in this photo.

Getting that shit off was hell, im telling you. It clung like a bitch. Still, it was an experience I recommend to anyone who has never been a clown before, I had alot of fun.

mad carrots, seconds and porblems

MAD CARROTS

Thats the kind of stuff I draw in order to purge myself of anger and bad mojo. You know, almost everything has been shit as crap the last few days. For one, my bike broke. Being the handyman that I am, I fixed it, but spare parts cost like a thousand bucks. Then the next day it turned out that I also have a punctured wheel. Yay. Pick apart this piece once again, I do.

While trying to "unlock" the lock on my spare bicycle though, I accidentally hit my earphones with a rock. Yep, they broke, and I was forced to buy another pair. Financial crisis for the win.

And I broke my coffee cup that I use in school (Its cheaper, and I get more coffee with my big cup.). Fucking bullshit, really. Had to go buy another one, then. I fall deeper into my economical situation of overspending. I get the most terrible angst when I spend money. Fk.

And I spent a couple hours extra in school yesterday, dressed up as a clown, filming for a movie project that we have to do for Media-class in the art programme. I guess that was pretty fun in its own way, I kinda just looked fucking ballsacks mad and scary. I think ill upload a picture of my ugly clown mug here in a few days.

More filming tomorrow, and then on friday im going to the dentists. Yay, what could be better? More suckiness for me. Atleast I get the day off school. It does mean I have to buy bus tickets for some one hundred billion euros, though. TOO MUCH OUTCOME TOO LITTLE INCOME

ANYWAY TOO MUCH ABOUT MY LIFE TOO LITTLE SCIENCE

Today im am writing about an optical "illusion". What you need to do in order to experience this illusion is to, simply, throw a glance at a clock. Yeah, its that simple. Yeah, an optical illusion will manifest. But only for about a second, though. When you look over to the clock, youre going to see what time it is. Hour, minute, and, hopefully, seconds.

But the first second you witness will appear longer than every other, normal second. That is because, as your eyes move towards the clock (They dont move instantaneously, only very quickly.), all you see is a directional blur. When you move your eyes quickly, you see a blur. This blur is confusing to the brain, so the brain automatically makes you not remember this moment of blur, by replacing every memory of this blur with the memory of a the first clear thing you saw after it. (This also explains why you dont actually know exactly what that speedy blur looks like, when logically it should be as clearly blurred as every other image you see is clearly clear, if you know what im getting at.)

This means, that the time it took for you to move your eyes to the clock, from wherever they were before, is added to the time it will take between your eyes seeing what time it is and the point of time when the second-pointer moves. HENCE THE FIRST SECOND WILL BE LONGERRH. Again, basically, first second you see is as long as follows; 1 second - time already passed of this second + the time it took your eyes to readjust.

This means you could actually experience a second that is actually longer than a real second, with the precondition of you looking over at the clock exactly when a new second begins. Yeah. Pretty random shit. The phenomenon isnt obvious for everyone, all brains and eyes work at different speeds, and some people will experience this effect more keenly than others, but this is actually a real optical phenomenon. It does happen, even if you think it doesnt. This is how our brains work, more or less.

MORE CLOWNS NEXT TIME!
