i, nerd.

i'm reading a chuck klosterman book right now. it's a collection of articles he's written over a decade.

in one of them he talks about how america is fascinated with pirates, and we don't even realize it. one fact he uses to prove this theory is that paul mccartney married someone with only one leg.

chuck klosterman is the most ridiculous author i've ever read. he's inspiring, really.

one of the articles is about robots. he said when he was younger he wrote a book report on "I,Robot" and it included the three rules of robotics:

"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. Do not talk about Fight Club."

another quote...

"If we have learned only one thing from film, literature, and rock music, it is this: humans will eventually go to war against the machines. There is no way to avoid this. But you know what? If we somehow manage to lose this war, we really have no excuse. Because I can't imagine any war we've spent more time worrying about."

on a different note, i think the movie "fight club" is hilarious.

"I am Jack's complete lack of surprise."

someone told me there was a fight club at belmont, but i never knew if that was true or not.

ALSO...i just found out, about half an hour ago, that there's a new park in nashville...adelicia park. made in honor of belmont's heroine, the one and only...adelicia acklen. i don't know why, but i think that's weird. her mansion is already preserved. there's going to be a fundraiser at that park soon, to raise money to restore her bedroom in that mansion.

and as i typed that i realized the word you use to refer to a female hero is the same word for a drug. heroine. i tried a little googling to figure out why. it's late, which might be the only reason why it seems interesting at the moment. instead, i discovered that i've been spelling "heroin" wrong for my entire life. not that i spell it often. but i'm not the only one. somehow over time, the spelling for "heroine" (girl hero) became the same as the spelling for "heroin" (drug). i saw a lot of informative articles about the drug, and those people also spelled it as "heroine."

when i was in college, me and my roommate ashley had a little saying. "if it's after 10pm, we're either asleep or crazy." we get tired pretty early. (it's a little after 11pm right now...) but if we stayed up later studying or doing fun things, it kind of ended like this. me thinking too hard about heroine.
