<<<finishing the first movement>>>

Hello Moon!

Ugh... I know... I mean... I just didn't have the strength tonite to stay and be Mister Social and play Let's Pretend... so I came back to the office. I'm not even sure if he saw me or not... there were so many people...

Kinda weird the way things worked out, though... It made me even more anxious to get back here with you guys! :)

God of day and God of darkness
Now we stand before the night
As the shadows stretch and deepen
Come and make our darkness bright.
All creation still is groaning
For the dawning of your might,
When the Sun of peace and justice
Fills the earth with radiant light.

Amen.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry midterm. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the Professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until "all Hell breaks loose."
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop "until Hell freezes over."

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

steps in quietly, having become used to church procedures. Takes off the helmet, picks a pew at the back. It is still,

"Hello darkness my old friend...I've come to talk with you again...neath the halo of a street lamp..I turn my collar to the cold and damp,
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light - which pierced the night and echoed with the Sounds of Silence.

Without realizing sheds a tear, missing the friends that used to be, liking the friends that have come to be. Knowing that this day too shall pass - and what will be, will be.

Upon rising and leaving stops at the fountain and donates to replace the padlock on Xenia's padded cell, which TeamB borrowed for the latest challenge to lock out Team A.

(vykin enters by now used to visiting the BigG, takes off hat before entering)
Walks quietly right up to the front pew.

"Psst psst, Big G are you here? Hey just wanted to stop and say thanx, I saw the
fly a banner this morning. I have faith that you sent it yourself BigG" That's the only banner I have ever seen that had a Glow to it."

Well Big Guy, I'm nervous, deep pit in recesses of my stomach. So I think I'm just gonna go and post another funny story.

Okay seeya Bud, oops I mean Big G

walks in at ease now with coming in the Big G's "house". Strolls right up front and takes position at the pulpit.

Hello parishers. Silence. Vykin continues:
Today the Eleventh Hour has arrived. There is peace. Though some parts of this compound are being boarded up as I speak. You can rest assured, this "church" will not be closed. It will be left here as a monument to a sanctuary for all those who passed through its doors from its construction - to all those who may enter its doors in the future. It will be the beacon for those seeking solitude, peace and refuge.

I would like to share a story with the members of this congregation as this is the final day. It refers to Synchronicity. As I have been posting, my thoughts again went back to one year ago today.

A year ago today, on October 30, 1999, it was the last night on the cruiseship of my month long "once in a lifetime trip with my best friend". When midnight rolled around - the trip had ended. Amazingly so, a year later, I began another journey. Once again it was a "trip of a lifetime" and tonite at midnite, the very same day, Oct 30, this trip too will have ended.

Now, a little bit of history. When I toured some of the cities in Italy last year, our points of interest always included the main church, Duomo, Cathedral of the particular city. i.e. Venice, Naples, Florence, Pisa, Barcelona in Spain. We were told that in the old days when the churches were built, they were built on the highest point of land within the city. Their towers reaching high into the skies above. This was done, so that weary pilgrims in their journey would spot the towers from afar as a "beacon of safety" and thus the pilgrims would know which direction to walk toward. To sanctuary, tranquility, safety and a new life.

So, this "church" will remain standing, for future pilgrims who need guidance.

With that I conclude my sermon with a rendition of:
(Dedicated to all my 9 housemates)

The Way Old Friends Do
Artist : Abba
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
(repeat)

We can face it together
The way old friends do

Good day Big G
And just like that exits the Church
