I don't know. Except for the band and music (both of which I've already mentioned above) I don't really have any hard-core interests. I guess I've always had a kind of interest in numbers - sometimes I look up wierd number/science theory stuff on the internet. The mandlebrot set (spelling?), string theory, stuff like that. I think it's interesting, though there's a great deal I don't understand.I really enjoyed this music history/theory thing I looked up the other day...the harmonic seventh. How there were these old, "spiritually enlightened" people that told the others exactly what pitch to sing or play on their insturments or whatever, 'cause it was these exact notes that created some kind of meditative window toward mental awareness in people. Then, even though the practice had been given up for thousands of years, the legend of it remained, and it was not until just recently that scientists discovered what was going on.Every pitch, by nature, creates certain harmonics (overtones and undertones of other pitches that compliment the root tone). The harmonic third, harmonic fourth, whatever, they all sound right with the root. Exept one. There were certain tones that created a harmonic seventh that was compleatly disonent against the root and sounded as if it totally didn't belong. These were the tones that the "spiritually enlightened" of yore, who had to meditate and study for years to hear/feel the right tones, were telling the others to play or sing or whatever to create that "open, meditative window". What's more, scientists studying the frequencies of these tones and the disonence between the root and the harmonic seventh made a startling comparison. It turnes out that the frequency created by the hamonic seventh is the exact same frequency (also known as alpha waves) created by the thinking human brain.Or at least that's the way I remember it. It's been a while since I read about it and I read it when I was drunk, so I'm probably way off on a lot of it. Anyway, I thought that was pretty interesting, but then again, that's music shit and I already mentioned that.
I'm always down to meet anyone who's at least moderately intellegent and can keep me interested in what they have to say for a decent amount of time. Actually, people who aren't very smart can be really funny sometimes so..yea. I'm down to meet those people too. And come to think of it, I'm not the smartest guy around so maybe I wouldn't want to meet any more really smart people 'cause they'll make me feel dumb and I'd probably bore them anyhow. Although I could probably learn a lot from them if I didn't bore them off from doing some dumb thing like ramble on and on about the same damn thing forever or something like that so...yea, I guess I'd like to meet them too!
