Steroids



btmt is on
steroids. Scorcher.

I was questioning the nature of multi-dimensionality earlier when the ideas of sectional representation of existing elements takes place. Say for instance you have a single point in space, it has neither length nor height, but simply exists as a co-ordinate, call it A. This point has no sectional properties as technically it can't exist in any other dimension than its own (the zero dimension). If you have a second co-ordinate, call it B, and you connect the two together, you form a line, the first dimension. If we take a section through a line at any point, we have a zero dimensional representation of a one dimensional object. We have an object that exists finitely in one dimensional space, but its existence in zero-dimensional space begins to approach infinity (within the realm of the line). If we extend this further, we have to create the second dimension by forming a second line, in a perpendicular direction to the original line, lets say we extend it from point A forming point C with the same length as line AB, then mirror ABC along the AC bisection. The quadrilateral with D at the fourth vertex. The square. Now, if we are to take the sectional representation of this object, we see that it is a one dimensional representation of the two dimensional object, the line. Further to this, a perpendicular extrusion of quadrilateral square ABCD into the Z dimension will give us a box. or ABCDEFGH. Taking a section through four points of the box (as long as they aren't on the same line) will give us the square, forming a representation of the third dimension in the second. Further to this, pretend that the box is moving. Now depending on where the box is in space, or if it is rotating, it has the characteristics of something in the fourth dimension, theoretically time. It is practically impossible for us to generate three dimensional representations of objects moving through time as a sectional representation in the third dimension due to the pure volume of information and material needed. Our purely visual way of capturing time in section is the photograph, or videotape. It recreates sections of three dimensional space in a two-dimensional medium. And going back to the earlier statement of the infinite coordinates existing as sections of a line in the zero dimension, so must sectional time exist in infinite within the line (acting in three dimensions) of each individual's period of existence... so remember, when you are vomitting in the toilet at one of our infamous after parties, if someone takes a picture or video tapes the event, be happy you don't interpret that moment as infinite. One should also be especially ecstatic that the bowl exists in the third dimension, and not the second, as a two dimensional ellipse will only get you puke-covered shoes.

Losing steam? We're just getting started.

  1. This blog is losing steam.

  2. Everything will be better once we have the newest song sung, but yes, it is losing steam, or leaking oil, or is losing the presence of viagra in the bloodstream, whichever analogy you choose, you still have a worse blog than btmt. Also, we're not a real band.

  3. They have lost steam, so they decided to take steroids to mitigate the loss of pressure. But once that pressure is built up again, pow, right in the kisser.

  4. So I read this thing thinking, there's gonna be a punchline.
    And I read. And I read. And I'm waiting for this punchline. Goddamn, it better be an epic punchline. And I'm still reading.
    And I get to the end and there's no punchline.
    So how do I rate this latest post? Like an hour long hand-job that finishes with your mom walking in.
    Disappointing, embarrassing,irritating and worst of all I have balls as blue as the sky.
    But other than that, I love BTMT! Keep on rocking dudes, you are the cream of the crop.

  5. Now THAT'S and ending!
    The sort of punchline I've come to expect.
    Thanks BeatMeat, you guys rock my world!

  6. Even though I'm in BTMT, I still can't stand them.
