funnel cake, roller coasters and integrals

between studying for an upcoming calculus mid-term i am listening to the senators vs. panthers and am thinking about roller coasters and funnel cakes. maybe because this game for a sens fan is like stepping on a roller coaster after you have eaten a little too much funnel cake. you're going up and down not sure whether to open your eyes or just close them, because you might miss some scenic sights, but the chance of bugs in your eyes is too great, and the anticipation of going full circle with a stomach full of funnel cake is simply dangerous. it is better to just close your eyes and hope that you don't throw up over the handsome ride attendant when the ride is over. after all, you can't really trust your stomach. (23 seconds left, eyes closed).

allright, so maybe a little far fetched, but i am sure my mind has taken me stranger places.

i think calculus might have something to do with it. after all, it is one of the world's greater evils.

aside from this, i saw a trailer on a new documentary called the "demographic winter" which brings to light the concerns of declining birth rates. i am especially interested in this, because someone in a discussion after the screening of the 11th hour suggested Canada should adopt a one child policy. i should have told him he was crazy. in a most broad sense, i really believe that in building stronger families, and encouraging people's sense of place, belonging and purpose we would be able to solve a lol of social, environmental and economic problems. here again, i think as a student of economics, there is a lot to be aspiring to, and new opportunities for change will arise. and i am very exicted about that :-)

mute math - noticed

UPDATE: 4-5 sens win at last. heatley: welcome back.
