The Self-Discovery Channel is dedicated to my quest of finding my true self and place in this world. Not so much reinventing myself but finding a place in this big old world where I fit. Not "fit in" but to find a place where I can be me.

More nth power to ya
Heaven's to Betsy. Can this day possibly get any worse? I was trying to take my on-line math exam and they cut my exam off because my internet signal was going in and out. Now I have to reschedule for Thursday. I was thinking that I was going to be free of Algebra, numbers and letters and all of that crap. Well now I am not. At least until my Statistics class next term. I hate math and I am pretty sure that math hates me if for no reason other than the sincere disdain I have when speaking of said math. I am pretty sure there are other ways to maneuver around in life without knowing the hypotenuse of this or that or why I need Pythagoras and his damn theorum. I am sure Copernicus is rolling in his grave at the mere thought of me trying to do math. It's just not in the cards for me to do math. Even as a child I spent many sleepy nights at the dinner table struggling with long division while Der Father drilled time tables into my head. As fate would have it I became a whiz (if there is such a thing) at long division and multiplication but then some asshole decided that they were going to throw some letters in the mix just for crap and giggles I guess. This is my dilemma now. Not just the letters but all of their friends, co sine, exponents, degrees, angles...You get my point. I am sure if I were in some other profession or just any profession at this point I would have to use some math. When I was an abstractor I had to use a land compass and measure angles and degrees and draw properties by hand and I did just fine with my somewhat poor math skills. So this is why I don't really feel bad about being a math failure. Just because I am not on friendly terms with co sine, tangents, and all their rowdy pretend number friends that doesn't make be a bad person. What the heck are irrational numbers anyway? After all, who needs numbers that are deprived of reason and act suspiciously when you try and manipulate them.

Welcome to Self-Discovery
Welcome to Self-Discovery Channel. This my blog where I chronicle my quest to discover my true self and all of the antics in between. Hopefully, I will have some insights to share in my quest.
