Is today today or tomorrow yesterday?

wenwilder · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2003, 07:28 PM

If tomorrow never comes does that mean that today never ends? If today never ends than how can I lose Tuesday every week? Wouldn't today still be Tuesday even though it's Wednesday? How can we have a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc. if tomorrow never comes? And if today never ends then how can we have a yesterday? Yesterday is just today in reverse, right? And since today never ends there can never be a tomorrow or yesterday. Just because the lights go out doesn't mean that the day is over. If that was the case then everytime the electricity went out a new day would start, right?

And if a new day starts when the lights go on, would a new day start when you have a bright idea or when you finally 'get' a new concept? I see a lot of sunrises but very few sunsets and the lights are always on in my office, so....needless to say the lights never go out around here. And don't get me started on time , it's just an illusion like tomorrow and the number system it's based on.

And...if tomorrow never comes then everyday is our birthday and we never get any older because we were born today. (the next time you are asked if you were born today, say yes and completely confuse people!) So Happy Birthday everyone! You never get any older because you were born today, isn't that great? No more lying about your age gals!

And yes, I do think to much! ;)

but it is all meant in good fun, care to confuse the confused? :)

Your today is my today for only about half a day, then it becomes my yesterday, and I become your tomorrow.

So while I post this, you are in my yesterday & I am in your tomorrow :-)

Wen,

Either you need to switch to decaf or I need a lot more coffee this morning :)

Would that be this morning here or this morning there?
And you can't have your coffee and drink it to. According to matauri, you already drank it.

If tomorrow never comes, and this post was not here yesterday, and I am still in today, is this post realy here and am I typing this reply?

First off...congrats on new status Mik !

And, because you made that coffee yesterday, it would be cold by today...so think I will pass :-)

This thread thus far reminds me much of an old rant I encountered in the days when I waited on folks hand and foot at the local garage ~

"Of course I want it yesterday; if I wanted it today, I'd have have brought it in tomorrow!

Someone once told me that: "Great minds......think to much" I wonder if that's true? (could be, considering the great minds replying) :)

I don't drink coffee so caffiene isn't the culprit here - and if you think this is bad you should hear my theory about jello and ghosts. Maybe I'll tell ya'll about it, tomorrow. :)

hmmm...Jello & Ghosts hey? That could be one of your wilder ones ;-) I can hardly wait! :-)

I'd like to hear about it too, but you posted yesterday, which means I'm already in tommorow, so if you never leave today, I won't read what you write tommorow because I've already passed the weekend, and am back at work. (It must have been a good weekend though)

I think I need a beer.

wenwilder · #11 (**permalink**) 10-31-2003, 01:15 PM

I'm posting this today so you should get it today, unless tomorrows today is yesterday, in which case you'll get it next week like everything else you should of gotten yesterday. ;)

Well ya'll know that jello has the same EEG as the human brain, right? If ya don't, it does, isn't that sad? ;) Well, in my way of thinking, if Jello has our brain pattern then it must think - or else we don't and I don't buy that, at least not yet. :)

My problem with Jello is, if it thinks then why won't it tell me what flavor it is? Orange tastes like orange, the fake orange, but orange all the same. Cherry takes like......cherry, I think. And strawberry tastes like.......cherry. It's that whole, everything tastes like chicken concept only with Jello. Now, if Jello thinks - i.e. has the same EEG as we do - then why won't it tell me what flavor it is? I don't want much, just a hint. :) (And yes, I know Jello don't have vocal cords, but what would be the fun in admitting that while thinking to much?) Tomorrow we talk ghosts! Gotta keep ya in suspense some how. :)

*Boy do I write unprofessionally when I'm having to much fun. :)

I'm not sure but methinks we need to revisit that blonde thread we had going there awhile back! }:~)

Wen... you sure you aren't drugs girl? LMAO

If you and your Jello are done conversin' Wen, we're still waiting on the Ghost story!

Isn't one wacky mind rant enough for the week? :)

Hmmm... I'm not sure who gave you this information, Wen, but I assure you that Jello has no EEG at all (in fact, even some human beings don't show any EEG - although most of them are politicians or basketball players). Now, I am open to the possibility that it is theoretically possible that this may vary on a geographical basis (e.g., Nebrasqua, Arkansas), but I am highly sceptical of that possibility (well, okay... except for Newfoundland).

Are you telling us they sell chicken flavored Jello in Nebrasqua? Yikes!

Seriously, dudette... you have GOT to lay off the cough syrup... I mean it... we're worried about you...

This should really worry you then ;)

Okay, a ghost story...after this there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind that I'm a bit off kilter. :)

Now, take a deep breath because this is going to be fun!

People say that they do not believe in ghosts, yet I do not know one person who doesn't believe in ghosts. We use numbers and letters, and believe in gravity. The laws of physics and logic...these are all ghosts! Yet everyday we use them and believe in them, and we don't think twice about it. To us they seem real.

The question is, did any of these things exist before they were discovered? Did gravity truly exist before the 17th century when Isaac Newton discovered it? If you say yes, gravity existed before then, then answer me this.....If it did exist before the sun, moon, stars, earth, etc. and was just sitting there. Having no mass of it's own, no energy and in no one's mind because there wasn't anyone, and just sitting out in space - before there was space - did it truly exist?

If it did exist then how would you define nonexistance? There is every reason to believe that it was nonexistant and no reason to think that it did exist, yet it's common sense to believe that it did exist. The law of gravity exists no where but in your head, that's the only logical conclusion! Thus it's a ghost!

To quote a rather good book: "Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Laws of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions. like ghosts. The whole blessed thing is a human invention, including the idea that it isn't a human invention. The world has no existence whatsoever outside them human imagination. It's all a ghost, and in antiquity was so recognized as a ghost, the whole blessed world we live in. It's run by ghosts. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of ghost. Ghosts and more ghosts."

errr... not really, Wen... where are you right now? are your feet touching the floor? or are you just floating around like a helium balloon...

Seriously, dudette... cancel your subscription to Oprah Magazine... it's gonna break your hold on reality... have a look at http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/dsm4tr.htm under "loss of contact with reality"... and stop drinking grapefruit juice... it's known to interfere with several common medications...

We're all very concerned, WW... people are talking... lots of people... words like intervention are popping up...

(I'm beginning to be convinced that she is one of my sisters)

Zyprexa? Some patients have suffered serious
side effects including diabetes or hyperglycemia.

So what you're trying to say is you think I'm psychotic/schizophrenic, right? awwww that is sooo sweet :) And here I thought I was 'different.' Am I finally going to get one of those nifty white coats, where you hug yourself, that they keep promising me? ;)
