Mild Day

Jacob, my Son. 

If you are the type of person that associates a disaster with a song and a food item then you may have inherited that from me. 

I associate the Corona virus outbreak with the song Nessun Dorma and the food item spring rolls. 

I made every part of that song fit the disaster in my head. The song comes from Italy, Italy got the virus early and had a lockdown in Europe first. Nessun Dorma means no sleep in Italian. People are afraid so they have trouble sleeping. At the end of the song he sings vincero forcefully, vincero means I win, most people's immune systems win against the infection. He sings  at Sunrise I win. The word Corona is related to the sun. The song is about a princes that has locked herself away because of a romantic dispute. People are getting locked in their apartments to stop the virus. 

The food item spring rolls are associated with the Chinese. The virus first emerged in China. Spring rolls are brittle, the global economy also seems to be brittle, a microscopic virus is enough to cause it vast damage. People are buying lots of toilet rolls as they panic and spring rolls as also rolls. Some people will be able to blow their nose and wipe their bum and cry for the next 5 years without going to the shops I think. 

Tom Horn interesting

If you are like me then you would make a video playlist on youtube while you are on break to watch when you get home and rest for a while. You would save the video to watch later then use the YouTube  Chromecast button to hijack the TV and play the whole list through while you sip some coffee. 

I found an interesting topic. Tom Horn, wormwood prophecies. Tom Horn is a man that claims to have met Jesus when he was clinically dead and was shown the future. His predictions so far have come true and are very accurate. 

He seems to know some future events that will happen. It is very interesting. Some of his predictions make the Covid19 virus look like a little fly. 

He wrote a book also, I am tempted get it and read it. 

Vincero I win

I was thinking about the Italian people because they got the Corona virus before the Brits so they are 2 weeks ahead of us and the virus is surging through their communities relentlessly. 

When I think of Italy I think of the song Nessun Dorma which means No sleep. Being who I am, I made the song fit the Pandemic in my head so they are both connected. 

So I have this song stuck in my head for a while and the words now have an extra meaning to me. 

I recall Luciano Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma (no sleep). At the end of the song he sings "all abla vincero, vinceroooo, vinceeerrrrrooooooo" (At sunrise I win, I win, I wiiiiiiiiinnnnnn.) He sings that last bit as forcefully and tone perfectly as he can and you can just feel it. Amazing memory. It symbolises the struggle people face with the infection, their bodies give the disease a disease (antibody proteins) the disease gets sick and dies and then they win and get to see the sunrise once again. 

Spring rolls

It's spring now, at least to me it is. Officially it is spring on the 20th but I called it spring last week when I saw Dandelions, Buttercups, Daffodils and Daisys sprouting out of the grass. If I see spring flowers, it is spring. I like to keep things simple. I would even call the whole of march spring if a saw a Daisy in the grass. 

It is a strange spring. I will call it the Pandemic Corona Spring of 2020. A virus that kills between 1 and 2 percent of all the people it infects has been surging throughout the whole world and is killing many people. For some reason all the people were inspired to buy large amounts of toilet rolls. I'm not even sure that runny nose is one of the symptoms but I would say, if it floats your boat buy the coat. If it makes people feel in control to buy 150 toilet rolls then let them be. I don't even feel a need to argue really. High Street retail needs a boost these days anyway. 

Be careful what you wish for

If you made a wish that all the biological viruses on the Earth were to disappear then you may regret that wish. 

There are many microbes on Earth that produce toxic chemicals and are capable of turning the Earth into a toxic world that can't support life if they were allowed to multiply but viruses kill them so viruses are preventing the Earth from being toxic. 

They are a gift that gives us life but occasionally new strains appear that attack us but mostly they are helping life on earth to persist. 

Playlist for the strained

I have made a music playlist for people that are fed up and feel like they have hit a wall in life and can't seem to make progress. It is also for people having a mid life crisis, we get those in our 30s these days. 

Play in the order shown and don't knock it until you play it my friend. All sound tracks are on youtube. 

1) I'm glad there is you, Temptations 

2) Sailing, Christopher Cross

3) Lifted, Lighthouse family 

4) Nessun Dorma, Luciano Pavarotti

5) Kumbaya My lord, any artist 

Nessun Dorma means let no one sleep in Italian I think, sums up my job. 

Kumbaya means come by here in a lost African language, the American slaves would call out to their Gods when they were made into slaves. 

4th spacial dimension

I was trying to imagine what life would be like if there was an extra spacial dimension. We live in a 3 dimensional world. Up and down. Forward and backward and side to side. 

In a 2d world you would only be able to see in 1 dimension because you have no width so you would only see a line. 

In this 3D world we see in 2D. We see a grid of pixels up and down, left and right and and we have two copies of the image from 2 eyes so we can judge distance but the image is still 2D and when we look at photos they are also 2D. When you look at a TV it is 2D but it shows a 3D world but the screen is still 2D. 

In a 4D world you would see in 3D so you would be able to see the top of your head and look at yourself sideways and forwards at the same time. In a 4D world you would be in many copies of the same  place at the same time but only be in one place when you observe yourself. That is what my imagination makes of a 4D world. In a 4d world the rules would be different I think. A 4D world is not just one place but many copies of that place at the same time. Each copies of reality is slightly different to the previous one. It would be as if you have millions of eyes.
