Here is what I was thinking in August 2005. Don't laugh! I'm sure I had more thoughts than some. Take a look at my thoughts, and Email me your comments!
Monday, August 1, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The one who first put
two and two together and got four was the smartest of us all.
Comments: Jeffrey:
But was also the most boring. Paperlemmy:
That reminds me! I'm going to have to go to school soon! NOOOOOOOOO! Trollish
Beastfighter: Likewise when Bill Gates created the first device to
communicate with a computer hardware
devise and added 2 and 2, the computer responded 4! AND THAT is how the
personal computer came to exist! (At least in my interpretation of history.)
Tuesday, August 2, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The thrill of meeting
a challenge makes the actual goal seem insignificant.
Comments: Jeffrey:
But if the goal is insignificant, what is the point of undergoing the challenge?
Lemmyscoo:
I know what you mean. Sometimes, when I get a star in Super Mario 64 DS,
I think that it all just contributes to opening the next door. Paperlemmy:
You know, there's a saying like that. "The journey is more important then
the destination," or something like that.
Wednesday, August 3, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: When you're down, stand
up, and when you're standing, jump.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Never be content with what you have. Go for more, but don't be gready and
don't let it takeover your life. Paperlemmy:
Why would I want to do that? Your thoughts get weirder and weirder, Lemmy.
blue13:
Very true, especially for Christians.That's why I jump on the next person
who makes fun of me after I've gotten up from a horrible insult. Same thing
goes for Mario and Luigi.
Thursday, August 4, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Everyone knows something,
but no one knows what anyone else's something is.
Comments: Jeffrey:
There are a lot of people in the world so some knowledge is known between
both of them. E.g, some Americans could probably recite the names of all
43 presidents of America, but many people in lovely Northern Ireland couldn't.
(If I got the number of presidents wrong, it just proves my point further.)
Paperlemmy:
HA HA! I know something you don't know! I know something you don't know!
I don't know what that something is, but at least you don't!
Friday, August 5, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Where others fall,
we step around the holes. That's success.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Nope. That's a total lack of discovery. Trollish
Beastfighter: Actually, it is not repeating a mistake which is a step
to success.
Saturday, August 6, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: There are two kinds
of people in this world. There's me, and then that leaves one more.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: The problem is that you need to specify your group, like
kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species... Bam:
Ahem! There are more than two people in this world! Jeffrey:
You're very special to us, Lemmy.
Sunday, August 7, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The world is chaos.
We can influence it, but never control it.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: And ChAoS is what I fight against! Still, I notice too
often that chaos and change are neccesary to keep the world going 'round
and 'round... X.Clamation: True,
but we can try.
Monday, August 8, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: You don't have to be
popular to be right. Sometimes it just gets in the way.
Comments: supercomputer276:
I've noticed. I'm so unpopular everywhere, but then again, I tried to takeover
the world. But I'm still right.
Tuesday, August 9, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The greatest of care
cannot with certainty avert the smallest of disasters.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: When something is based partly on hope and chance, true.
However on something that is not necessarily as critical or difficult,
chances are if you go the extra mile, there really shouldn't be any disasters.
Wednesday, August 10, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: A lot of stuff wouldn't
matter if we only didn't care so much.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: True. We need to stop caring about money, and start caring
more about working cooperatively.
Thursday, August 11, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: String together enough
suddenlies, and you'll eventually make it to lunch.
Comments: supercomputer276:
I'm back in school, and the end-of-period bell is always sudden. The problem
is it keeps going after lunch. String together enough suddenlies, and you'll
eventually make it back home! Yeah, that works.
Friday, August 12, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: An expected surprise
can only be so shocking.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Unless you don't know when it is going to happen, or you don't believe
it. Dasina-chan: Well,
not exactly. An expected surprise is not shocking at all. I mean, once,
I was having a surprise party, and someone who didn't know it was a surprise
told me that I was having a party, and so I wasn't surprised. Luckily,
I thought it would be a measly little party only your mom and dad go to,
but it was a big bash since they felt sorry for me. After all, it's hard
to celebrate your birthday when it's on Christmas!
Saturday, August 13, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Never second-guess
what you knew you were guessing on in the first place.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: Actually, you do second-guess in one problem. Here it
is: You are on a gameshow. There are three doors. One has 100,000,000,000,000
coins. The other two have Dry Bones. You pick one door. The host, who knows
where the prizes are, purposely opens a door with Dry Bones and asks if
you want to change your answer. In this one, you are more likely to get
it right if you "second-guess" here. The reason is you in the first place
were more likely to pick a Dry Bones door. The host always opens a dry
bones door. Two out of three times if you "second-guess" rather than sticking
with your first guess in such a case, are the odds of winning.
Sunday, August 14, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: You won't always be
able to perform at your best, but you can still perform at a limited best.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Wrong. Please see my comment for Wednesday, August 3, 2005. Paperlemmy:
You know, sports coaches always tell the players to put 110% into whatever
they try. But that's impossible, because, mathematically, you can't go
over 100%. But, anyway, yeah, you should always give your best, even if
it's limited. supercomputer276:
If I was able to perform at my best, I would've conquered Plit by now.
Monday, August 15, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Sleeping does not cure
exhaustion, it only reschedules it.
Comments: Jeffrey:
So what happens if you are already exhausted? Paperlemmy:
Tell me about it! Get this: I go to bed at, say, 1:30, wake up at 8:00.
I go to sleep at 10:00, and sleep in until noon! And I'm still tired!
Tuesday, August 16, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Once you're talking
about translation, there's no further need to add "lost in".
Comments: Jeffrey:
I don't detect the deep point (if there is one) but from a literal point
of view, you would probably need to put it in a different tense. Paperlemmy:
You mean like "lost in translation"? Your thoughts are really deep, Lemmy.
I would never stop to think about that! Dasina-chan:
Well what if you tried to translate some Japanese and you started choking,
and so you couldnt translate it?
Wednesday, August 17, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: With a hi-tech world
comes hi-tech ways to avoid other people.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: Well, security locks, yes, and also stealth by hi-tech
means, or hi-tech weapons to kill people to avoid confronting them, but
I think the most popular way is getting engrosed int video games and the
computer! Jeffrey: But
also hi-tech ways to find them. Paperlemmy:
Yeah, for sure! Can you say "cloaking device"?!
Thursday, August 18, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: You'll be at your best
when no one knows you're there at all.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: Uh, yeah. You try really hard when people think you are
a nobody. But actually, I think performance is best when the performer
feels no pressure from an audience, and in other words, he or she at least
thinks they are alone. So try rewording that thought a bit (not really
though). Jeffrey: Yes,
as you do not have anyone distracting you, and no, as you don't have anyone
encouraging you. Your preformance can often be linked to your self esteem.
Paperlemmy:
Wait, you're saying that you'll be at your best when no one realizes it?
Or that no one will be around to see it? Your thoughts are so confusing,
no wonder you look dizzy in all of your pictures!
Friday, August 19, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: If you can't remember
doing something, you might as well suppose you didn't.
Comments: Jeffrey:
That's ok until we get to the possibility that someone develops amnesia.
Trollish
Beastfighter: But before you do it again, ask questions to make sure
you don't do something twice like voting twice for president, a serious
crime. supercomputer276: Is
this why Bowser keeps kidnapping Peach?
Saturday, August 20, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Just because you don't
know what "it" is doesn't mean it's not a perfectly good binary unit of
measure.
Comments: Jeffrey:
True. If you asked someone in the early days of decimalization for a meter
of rope, they might not understand you. Paperlemmy:
Where did the whole "binary unit of measure" come from? Couldn't "it" just
be something like a dog or computer or something?
Sunday, August 21, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: A minute saved is immediately
a minute duly spent.
Comments: Trollish
Beastfighter: YEAH! For me, That is a minute sleeping, on the Gamecube,
or the computer! Jeffrey:
Too true, far too true. The problem is that we don't know how many we have.
Paperlemmy:
So what your saying is, don't bother saving any minutes, just use up all
your time? Weird, but okay. joshua:
So the minute is also wasted. Makes loads of sense.
Monday, August 22, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: When setting up your
escape rope, just make sure you can escape from it if you have to.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Play it safe. joshua: How
do we do that? I know! Keep a second escape rope handy! Paperlemmy:
That's true. I mean, what's the point of having an escape rope if you won't
be able to escape from it! It's like buying candy and not eating it!
Tuesday, August 23, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The pieces make up
the puzzle, and yet, remove one, and the substance is still there.
Comments: K.
K. Koopa: Hm... If the piece is missing, how can you remove it? Jeffrey:
But people will go looking for it for hours. joshua:
No it's not. Take one piece from a jigsaw and it's never complete.
Wednesday, August 24, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Get caught committing
a crime if you must, just don't be found covering it up.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Only a Koopa would think like that. joshua:
If you get caught you'll go to jail! The way around: simple. Get someone
else to cover up for you. Paperlemmy:
Aren't they both bad to begin with? papermario:
Yeah. If you try to cover up a crime, it makes you seem like even more
of a bad person. Owning up to it and truly repenting is the best.
Thursday, August 25, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: The best things are
often those you expect to be the worst, but a life lived seeking the worst
will be the worst.
Comments: Jeffrey:
I'm getting confused here. Yesterday you told us to commit a crime if we
must (By the way, can I use you as a witness at my trial? I sort of followed
through on your thought?) but today you're telling us not to live a life
seeking the worst. Crime might be considered the worst. A total contradiction.
joshua:
So what happens when you seek the best? Paperlemmy:
That's okay! Instead of just seeking the worst, look for the best of the
worst! Trollish Beastfighter:
Um, no. Not really It is just if you have lower expectations for
something, it won't be as disappointing if it goes wrong, but then again,
some things we try turn out to be really good when we don't expect it,
but the true part is to still have a positive attitude as I think you say.
To think positively of everything that goes around makes you happier, and
if you always think everthing is wrong or going to go wrong, yeah, I feel
bad for you.
Friday, August 26, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: To be immortal is simply
to wake up on more days than not.
Comments: K.
K. Koopa: Hm... But I always wake up everyday... Everyone does, I guess...
Trollish
Beastfighter: Um... NO! Immortallity would more likely be achieved
with perfect medical technology especially used to counteract free radicals
which cause aging, and also achieved through universal peace, but that
won't happen. Am I wrong, hopefully? supercomputer276:
I don't care! I still wanna be immortal!
Saturday, August 27, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Understanding is one
step away from liking.
Comments: papermario:
I'll say. This is especially true with video games. If you don't understand
how to control the game, then you won't like. Trollish
Beastfighter: Ah, if only we all understood and negotiated peacefully
with each other, the world would be so much more likeable, especially in
everyone else's current view of the USA, and the USA's view of Iraq, and
in fact, the USA's view of apparently non-Christians. Yeah, understanding
is lawful. joshua: Not
true. Even though my little brother understands why he needs to try new
foods, he never likes them. Jeffrey:
I have a friend who has contrasting views about deep issues. I am very
far from liking them. Although I don't understand them, I suppose. Paperlemmy:
That's true. I see Bowser as a misunderstod creature and he's one of my
favorite characters! ... Wait, that's not right... Dasina-chan:
Away as in ahead? Because I liked the Mario games a bit before I understood
them.
Sunday, August 28, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Whether something is
possible isn't nearly as important as whether someone wants to do it.
Comments: papermario:
Yep. To do something, the will to do it is needed. If you have no motivation,
it won't happen. joshua:
I want to do loads of things yet I find many of them impossible... Paperlemmy:
Nothing's impossible when you put your mind to it! supercomputer276:
That could be my new motto right there!
Monday, August 29, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: At the end of every
journey is something from the start.
Comments: Jeffrey:
A friend saying "I knew you could do it." A brilliant childhood memory.
The prospect of a birthday party at the end of each journey of a year.
That thought makes me happy. Paperlemmy:
You mean like Mario saw Peach and Bowser at the beginning and end of Paper
Mario? papermario: Yep. That's true.
Especially with knowledge. At the end of your high school education, you
still have all of your basic skills that you learned when you were in Kindergarten.
Dasina-chan:
Like in the Ocarina of Time, Link still has like 30 Deku Nuts, because
no one ever uses them!
Tuesday, August 30, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: Nothing is as simple
as we'd like, for a rather complex assortment of reasons.
Comments: Dasina-chan:
That's funny, because singing is perfectly simple to me... unless you mean
singing Soprano. I'm an Alto, baby! joshua:
So things are harder than we like for a complicated set of reasons. Paperlemmy:
Great! Like your mind! Your mind isn't too simple to understand, for an
assortment of reasons! Trollish
Beastfighter: I'll say, BLAME IT ON SOCIETY! It is way too money orientated
and humans are way too dishonest. Wait a minute! Bowser is also dishonest!
No wonder life as Dark Land and the Mushroom kingdom is so eventful. Actually,
some of life's complexities are the reason why we are living and why we
want to live. If only we could get rid of that issue of money combined
with dishonesty...
Wednesday, August 31, 2005:
Lemmy's Thought: In order to win, you
must learn how not to lose.
Comments: Jeffrey:
Didn't you say something about that on July the 1st? Paperlemmy:
You learn from your mistakes. Or at least you're supposed to. Stupid, cheating
game... Trollish Beastfighter:
In order to win, well, yes, learning not to lose is part of it, but you
need to be aiming for winning too. Also, you should hope that any
RNG as a factor will cooperate with you.
