If all of the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops

We'd all have teeth like the British, that's what would happen. Unless of course they were sugar free lemon drops and gum drops, in which case, our teeth might be okay. Did you know that drinking diet drinks actually increases your chances of contracting type II diabetes? That's right, but cutting our sugar from your diet, you're actually making things worse, but only because you're replacing it with something else, that in all actuality is still a sugar, just one your body doesn't process the same way. I always laugh when something is 'sugar free' but contains glucose, sucralose, wood, etc. because they're all just sugars. The main difference between sugars and alcohol? More OH groups. I like sugar.

You know how you're working on a project and you get all excited and happy because you think you're done after all that labor, pain, sweat, blood, and vomit, and you know it wasn't all yours? That's the worse part, and you can't even remember where the extra bodily fluids came from or who they belong to. After all of that you find out....you're not done. You're far from done. In fact you're so far from being done you feel like you've been undone, and very dumb. I am currently riding the small bus. I need to try and figure out how to project the eigenvectors on specific subspaces of the problem I'm working with. It sounds simple. It sounds so simple you should be able to have a first grader do it. I'm sure the first grader could sit down and whip the problem out in a matter of minutes. Being a graduate student, it's going to take me considerably longer. Stupid first graders. I knew there was a reason I didn't like them. Some times life is good. Other times, it comes up and when you're not looking smashes you upside the head and then jumps up and down on your special place all while laughing like a mad man at your pain and anguish.
