From the eyes of an aesthete

*stuff edited out*

Look at what those morons - ahem - esoteric bunch of scientists at MIT, possessing never-before-heard-of IQ levels through the gene mutation therapy their Stanford counterparts have devised for them, are doing with the Standard Atomic Model. They hack away at it like it's a cake or something. Why? So that it works. Well, yeah, d'oh, that's what they do, they make things work.

It really repulses when things are made to work, though. Like in Chemistry. The exceptions. Hell, there seem to be more exceptions than rules! It's like a whole bunch of kludges were mashed up to form the subject we know as Chemistry.

But on the other hand, I think my aesthete-tendencies are a shortcoming more than anything else. I could make this sound less like I'm whining and more like a philosophical discourse, but here goes nothing. Being an aesthete seems to stem from my disability to handle complications. Maybe complications aren't all that bad. It's only because I find complications, well, too complicated to deal with, that I loathe them.

Everything is indeed a complication. We should've had boxes for bodies if absolute simplicity was absolute beauty. The fact is, we don't. And that clearly proves that it isn't. It's just that some of us can handle complications while others can't. And it's not just that. Some of us can handle 'more complicated' complications while the rest of us can't.

I like Physics too.
And I hate Chemistry.
It's a.. ahem, COMPOUND subject.
Hee, couldn't resist.
I like puns..

Which are TOTTALLY uncomplicated.
Like Physics.
And Math.
And me.
I'm the least complicated being in the world.
pity people don't understand me, even if I shout out from the top of a mountain.
Not that, I've ever climbed a mountain, or anything.
Still.
It's people that ASSUME things are complicated, adn never seem to realize that things are not as complicaterd as they look.
Pre-conceived notions, I tell you.. Sucky things.
