Plugs and Curses

Yo. It's self-promoting time. Here's something I made. Be warned, it lacks perfection. Then again, it isn't really shameless plugging if I post this here, right. Also I want to test if I can really upload vids without using YouTube as a medium. How exciting. Yes, the song is Japanese, but who cares. At least they're original.
By the way, it seems that I'm really cursed by fate. Proof: When I wanted to record this video, my camera broke. When I found a working camera, I got interrupted while trying to record. Once by the telephone, once by the mailman, and once by my brother going downstairs. Then, when I tried to upload it, It took about three hours, and it froze halfway the first two times. That makes for an entire day of trying to upload. When I finally succeeded in uploading, Blogspot broke down, deleted this entire post (Yes, this is version two.) and made me restart my pc. But it was useless! Take this!

Ya know, I recorded this vid with a camera I didn't even know existed. Maybe it's a gift from someone who knew I wanted to record something... I found it on top of the piano, after all. Such a mystery. Hmm.
I wonder if it's possible to play piano duets over Skype or something. It'd be awesome. Hm, I have too much free time on my hands. I'd share some with you, but y'know.

Well, so much for now! Later!

Fact or Fiction

DISCLAIMER: This post may contain traces of speculation which may of may not be caused by the fact that it will be tomorrow in less than an hour. Accept nothing, trust no one.

Hi. Imagine this scenario: There are two people, A and B. A has a box with a mouse in it, and places a cat in the box with it, then closes the box. The mouse has poison on its fur, so if the cat manages to eat it, it'll die. If the mouse is evasive enough, they'll both live.
After an hour or so A looks in the box and tells B both the cat and the mouse are alive. B, relieved, leaves the room and the scene. Why is B relieved? Because, when the box was closed, every possible thing that could happen inside that box happened, until proven otherwise. In other words, the cat and mouse were both dead and alive.
This experiment is also known as Schrödinger's Cat. (Though it's a bit different and it involved radioactive matter and other science.)

And now for something completely different: The Boy Who Left.
I am, of course, talking about Noah.
I think that Noah is a pretty cool guy. He pursues the truth and doesn't afraid of anything. It's admirable, really.

But here's the catch: there seem to be two versions of "truth."

1. Everything is the truth until proven otherwise, also known as Schrödinger's Cat. Examples are God, the Big Bang, and everything with "theory" affixed. (Hey, I managed to post about affixes.)
2. Nothing exists until proven otherwise. I'll call this "realism" because I don't know the correct name for it, if there even is one. Examples are the fact that the Earth is spherical and the existence of atoms.

So, ultimately there are still different paths to be taken if you're searching for something that's absolute. I wonder if both will lead to the same truth. Y'know, I actually really want to know. Curiosity kills cats, though.

So. Bye, Noah! See you around!

Salutations!

And welcome to this boring-looking blog with the conspicuous name of Valiant Something of Fortitude Plus One, composed by me: Erik, heir to Kan. Didn't that sound fancy. I feel accomplished already.

You might know that I once maintained another blog: This one. If you're interested in things told by past me, feel free to check it out. Anyway, things got hot over there, and when the parents discovered it, it reached the point of explosion. It's too bad, really. This new Blogger had me make do with this subpar layout. Or maybe it's just my horrible sense of design that made this site to look this way. There's still a lot more to update, though, and I think/hope that this is not the final version.

I look forward to distracting you with random musings, works of art, and other stuff that I fail to come up with right now. That's it for now: I won't post anything cool today, mainly because I've got an exam tomorrow. About trees. Syntactic trees. Ah, great fun.

By the way, if you're wondering about the title: It's just the first thing that came to mind. Maybe this blog isn't about life and affixes after all. Maybe it will be all about affixes and not about life. Maybe I'll hold true to the title and go with both. But I mainly chose it because it looks cool and I love RPG's.

Thanks for reading! Hope you come back when there's actual content here.
