Do you think we’re the sort of girls to sit around on a Sunday night?
EAH (loud buzzer sound) you’d be wrong!!
What’s the opposite of seasonal depression - seasonal euphoria?
I’m self-diagnosing here, but I think I’ve got it.
I have all the symptoms:
Excessive happiness: a level of joy statistically improbable.
Compulsive smiling: grinning under the most mundane circumstances.
Irrational optimism: the feeling everything will turn out all right.
Compulsive socializing: relentlessly engaging in parties and outings.
Impulsive behavior: capricious decisions that lead to.. stuff.
Difficulty focusing: trouble concentrating on ‘serious subjects.’
Increased appetites: A craving for.. everything fun.
I have to call it. The symptoms are limpid, my diagnosis is:
Summer, seasonal euphoria, and it feels pretty good.

Margin of Error
By Mark D. Stucky
If, statistically, Adam and Eve
hadn’t exceeded Eden’s margin of error,
would lambs now be lounging with lions?
Would toothy T-Rexes have been vegan?
Would we love our neighbors and enemies
as we love our less-than-perfect selves?
Would we make war no more
and have peace on earth?
But, certainly, mistakes were made!
And now, we should wherever possible
correct for past and future errors,
across centuries of commissions and omissions.
Like the trembling woman sprawled in the dust,
“go and sin no more” is also meant for us.

Statistics, ciphering and accounts are copied and transcribed
from natural laws within the hands of time. Predestinations,
one's path throughout the hands of time, flowing like the
sand in a hour glass every grain is essential.
Chapters, Conceptions, People, Statistics and every living being
are accountable statistically, rationale based on numbers,
Strange things happen, get used to it.
Often statistically odd.
But explained by mathematics
without any need for a god.
stunningly statistically strategy 'scenes silently so the scenes surely society systems are socially strong ~

i'm a potential analytical anomaly
that's something that you should
agree but arguably a fantastically

statistically is sexually unacceptable
unspeakable unspeakably but never
mind that none of these despicably

DATA
“Where’s your DATA?” I challenged his new assumption,
For conclusion without fact is but presumption.
As much as I enjoy coaching students to think,
Analyzing many numbers tickles me pink!
“Fact-based decisions” is a phrase you may have heard,
And guessed that DATA has been my favorite word.
To statistically analyze is such a joy,
Numbers dance on the page like a shiny new toy.
Unlike opinion, DATA is a true delight.
When mere thoughts fail us, digital DATA sheds light,
And is the sole universal language of nerds.
So, you can see why DATA is the best of words.
People wondered “How 38 years without strife?”
Digital facts my focus, empathy in wife,
Combining cool DATA with her warm emotions
For every day, any size, problem solutions.
Since feelings alone hide things not quite what they seem,
Hard DATA helped make us a successful team!

soothing your soul self
a knowing within your heart
what is best for you
dream state magic
introspective sureness
living your truth
bathing your soul self
hearing yourself realistically
being the most healthy statistically
living your joy artistically
following your absolute truth mystically
your angel guides know the eliminations and
inclusions that you will need to delight in
your bliss and live your true soul self
It is the best of the worst.
I say this optimistically.
Instilling hope where I can.
Pulling us up statistically.
Who i would like to thank
The Teletubbies basically raised my kids
Beware the stranger
Although statistically someone you know will kill you
Now go to sleep
Time is always precise so that i can measure my inaccuracy
Colour rewards itself
Clouds that cuddle skies
Air that breathes her name
Laughter imprisoned in the lull
The Winter parts for chiselled sun
He that takes my name
but never fills the shape
The universe within mind
That chortles at our reality
No God to call my own
No devils sharing throne
Who do we thank
For being so alone
Hidden in the recess
Developing within the walls
A system to educate
A system that evolves
Statistically a witness to charts and scales
The beginning of the grading towards judgement
To pass or to fail

Over there in the rural countryside where I'm at currently....
Gravel road, water and electrical woes are challenges daily....
Hardly any economic activities that bring in cash money..
Barring the staff in the usual government machinery...
And those in some private enterprises and companies...
The village folks are really poor and severely cash strapped...
Saved those fortunate ones in the government or private enterprises...
So reporting average income has risen to rm6k plus...
Is downright nonsense and a gigantic lie statistically .....
Salaried workers are in abundance only in urban areas...
Using their incomes severely skew the worthiness of these figures.....
It paints a vastly different picture of the economic situations on the ground...
In simple English, only pompous supercilous coated bosses and politicians...
Can believe this propaganda that average monthly income has moved up to rm6k plus...
@#$//$$##!!!!
Note.... Reported in the news today, the average monthly income in Malaysia has
risen from RM5000 (year 2012) to RM6141(Year 2014)..
What We Should Learn From Dallas
By Franklin Price
7/8/2016
What we should learn from Dallas
And the tragedy we pan,
Policemen killed cold bloodedly
By a sicken minded man.
Took advantage of a protest,
Of killing elsewhere by police;
Despised black on white authority,
If cops are dead it has to cease.
As of now he was the only perp.
There was no larger plan.
He felt he had to do it;
To get rid of the man.
Get rid of perpetrators
Who happen to wear blue
Whose actions are above the law
Don't have to pay for what they do
He was past considering
that cops are also bad and good.
Most protect all people,
And are doing as they should.
They put their lives upon the line;
Each and every day they work.
The bad apples among them
Are statistically a quirk
The media and politicians
Take sides to drive along
The minority views of both sides;
This direction is so wrong.
Reporting, on these deeds
At best is very mixed
Not only deeds, but also reasons
Are what's wrong and must be fixed.
(Almost a Shakespearean sonnet :) )
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Explained in terms of probability
And at a time with scientists frantic,
Statistically reprocessed entropy
H-Theorem, Boltzmann T-Equations born
Statistical Mechanics founded, too.
Connections with across divisions formed
A new branch of physics because of you.
And yet they criticized you for your works-
Demoralized to the point of suicide
You gave a whole section of science birth;
You’re more than favorable in our eyes…
Today you help design our vehicles!
Your contributions are unbelievable!
