Prison Break of Sorts
|
Prison Break of Sorts Hey all, Escapism. What a word. Stay with me here. I might swerve a bit, but am certain I can keep within the lines. And get us home. Wherever the hell that is. Yesterday, or maybe two days ago now, I wrote a blogpost that I thought was outstanding. And I am pretty critical of my own writing. This website swallowed it… and it never posted. I can't even begin to recall what the actual moments were. When I write – there are moments. Moments are spaces in time. They do not return to you. I mean, I know what the post was about… but the moments, the truths therein, the pursuit – of the fine post. Lost. Gone. Evaporated. Pity. No matter. How about this? --> For the second time now I viewed This Is It. The documentary of Michael Jackson's last ( but never realized ) tour. Love him or hate him – that fella could DANCE. And apparently, by many accounts, he could sing, too. Unknown to most, he didn't write much of his music. His recording engineer was trained where I trained. His producer and I go way back. I was intimately involved in that tour… that didn't happen. The documentary is all we have of it. It will have to do. Side note, I was born in the same hospital as Mr. Jackson. Sharp left turn --> This may be old news to intelligent folks, but… At age 86, John Nash received the Abel Prize along with his partner ( aged 90 ) Louis Nirenberg on March 25th for "striking and seminal contributions to the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and its applications to geometric analysis". Anybody follow the importance of partial differential equations ( PDEs )? Crucial and critical manipulations of the numbers that rule us. Their nonlinear counterparts are even more striking. If yer into that sorta thing. Lemme see… John Nash was the focus of the film A Beautiful Mind – portrayed by Russell Crowe. He also won the Nobel – Nash, that is. It was based on a Pulitzer-prize nominated book of the same name. The film won four Academy awards and was nominated for four others. That is a lot of prizes, one after the other. For silly equations. That most can't ( won't? ) understand. Jackson tried to create a concert that would allow the audience to escape reality. Nash and his buddies know exactly the values of what an escape equals. I'd like to plug some of my variables into Nash's equations. What methods of escape do you employ? |

A really good bottle of red wine works for me most of the time.
