Common People

Feb 23 2010 Published by Moos under Thinking out loud, YouTube, funny

Ok, when I wrote my “theory” about the 12 pm and 12 am, I wasn’t ditching the theories of time out there or proving that what was out there is wrong or anything. I just wanted to explain how I never got the 12 am and 12 pm, and how I always though that they are zeros for me! within my own way of thinking! within my own logic!

Well I hope I haven’t offended anyone’s intelligence with my own theory of explaining myself. The only intelligence that was offended was mine. As I said in the post:

I never thought of why, I just assumed I’m just stupid like that…

Well me, having no defense, decided to think about it more… “I couldn’t be wrong” I murmured to my reflection on my iPhone, “And I shall blog about what I think, and why, and laysh, and mino, and sh7agga, and 7agsh7agga, and baby!”

So people take my posts seriously now? like seriously seriously? I mean who am I to define time or mess with centuries of science and research, right?

I do stand by what I said in explaining it to myself, and since I like starting from zero I saw it that way and it never made sense to me. But I didn’t say all the people around the world are wrong. I’m just stating how I see it. Ok? cool? yeah? super? merta7een? 7elween?

Take it easy people.

One more thing, 13 AM does equal to 1 PM because it’s 13 after noon.

Boy, was I serious in this post!    : – D

Like a hemorrhoid

Feb 16 2010 Published by Moos under daily stuff, film

This morning I was reading the shooting script of The People VS. Larry Flynt… Here’s an excerpt that I liked:

Larry squirms nervously.

LARRY: Jeez, I dunno, Althea. All of a sudden you’re really puttin’ the screws on me.

ALTHEA (sincere) : Look, after my parents, I didn’t think I’d ever want to get married. But then I met you.

LARRY (staring into her eyes) : So you’re really serious…?

ALTHEA: Like a hemorrhoid.

Larry slowly nods, mulling this over.

She waits for a response.

Finally — he smiles slyly.

LARRY: Ummm, Althea?

ALTHEA (grinning expectantly) : Yes, Larry……..?

LARRY: Would you be my wife?

Althea SQUEALS happily and hugs him. They kiss excitedly.

12 am? 12 pm?

Feb 12 2010 Published by Moos under Thinking out loud

I always set my mobile/Computer clock to the 24hr system, instead of the 12hr system.

Why?

Well, even if you’re not interested, I’ll tell you why.

It’s because I still mix 12 am and 12 pm. Well, I never thought of why, I just assumed I’m just stupid like that. But! Today while sitting at Caribou Coffee at The Avenues with Nada, you might’ve seen me there… I was the philipino woman with a missing front tooth… Anyways, I looked at my “iPhone” only to find it says 13:31 so I showed it to her, expressing my being fond of such “time readings” like 12:34, 05:50, 22:22 and such. So she asked me why do I have it on the 24hr system. Well me, having no defense, decided to think about it more… “I couldn’t be wrong” I murmured to my reflection on my iPhone, “And I shall blog about what I think, and why, and laysh, and mino, and sh7agga, and 7agsh7agga, and baby!”

Let’s see if I can make sense here… I’ll make it as simple as I can, and try to be sloooowwwwww

So, the time on any 24hr system clock starts with Zero, right? which I use of course.

So it’s 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 but! but! Let’s not forget that 24 is itself equals to Zero equals to 12. cool? and we know that 13:00 = 1:00, 14:00 = 2:00 and so on…

So in a 12hr system we start like this:

0 PM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 0 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM, 12 PM … in which 0 PM = 12 PM, so Let’s cut this one long bastard in 2, then we have 2 parts

1st half of the day: 0 PM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM

2nd half of the day: 0 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM

a complete 24hrs.

Soooo, in a 24hr system it could be all “AM” because 15:00 AM equals to 3:00 PM it’ll be something like that:

0 AM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM,  12 AM, 13 AM, 14 AM, 15, AM 16 AM, 17 AM, 18 AM, 19 AM, 20 AM, 21 AM, 22 AM, 23 AM and back to 24 AM which is 0 AM, then 1 AM, 2 AM.

so the 2 parts again, become like this:

1st half of the day: 0 PM(which is 24 AM, which is also 0 AM), 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM

Soooo, the 1st half of the day becomes like this:

1st half of the dayB: 0 AM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM

Note that I started from Zero to 11, but 12hr system watches start from 12 to 11, in which case 12 = 0.

Aren’t we supposed to start from 0 to 11, instead of 12 to 11? Because we start from 0… Nothing starts from 12! you can’t just start counting 12, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on… we start 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on… Because 0 is the original start… how can time starts on a watch from 12? what was before that?? ok, you might say 11 which is true, and then? well… then 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 12

Aha!! you went back to 12!

Well, let me tell you my friend 0 is 12 and we start from 0! ZERO! ZILCH! got it?

Ok,

1st half of the day: 0 PM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM

will be equal to

1st half of the dayB: 0 AM, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM

and

2nd half of the day: 0 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM

will be equal to

2nd half of the dayB: 0 PM, 1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM

Sooo,

Then, according to 1st half of the dayB and 2nd half of the dayB because we start from 0 to 11, not 12 to 11

12 pm and 12 am don’t exist!! It’s all just in your minds people!!! Ok! I’m not the crazy one here… You are!!

I hope you enjoyed this light mental masturbation, and I hope it made sense  : – D

I’m too sleepy to explain more, if there was anything to explain that is!  : – p

Here are some titles I considered for this post:

12 am is the new 12 pm!

12 am is 12 pm and vice versa.

12 (am + pm) / ϴ

12 am and 12 pm: the musical

There’s no 12!

12 is in the future and it’s not before 11, unless it’s 0!

Too much Twelving!

12 o’clock is dead.

“Hey! Look at me making a total idiot of myself!”

I say AM, you say PAM (AM pronounced as in I am, so it would rhyme with pam)

Let’s start from 9,628,996,555 then go forward to 235 which is actually less than 9,628,996,555 [ because anything forward from 9,628,996,555 = 9,628,996,555 +n (n > 0) and if 235 was forward from 9,628,996,555 then n = - 9,628,996,320 in which n is actually < 0, which is not acceptable in case of moving "forward"]
