Driving through Virginia south of DC been there several times before but never been done with college before so I suppose this is a little wierd. I guess I feel a little out of sorts about it. My whole life is effectively dumb. all of my friends have jobs and scattering to the four corners of the earth or at least to uh UM uha few of them two or three let's say um and well. I I will see him in the future it certainly not going to be the same so I just I don't know um I just connected to the gas station no no idea from going to be able to get back on the highway. Well I need to uh continuing learning continue writing and hopefully. Oh come up with something half decent.
Firstly I'd like to point out that my whole life is not "dumb". It seems that Jott suffered a Freudian slip and doesn't think much of me. Ouch. How did Jott misspell "weird"? Isn't it's job to recognize words and then spell them out of its dictionary? Apparently I also pause a lot, ie. "um". I suppose this is true, but it paints me in a somewhat, well, retarded light. Sigh.
[Note: I have no problem with using the word retarded in this fashion. No, I don't think it does a disservice to the mentally handicapped and I'm happy to explain why if you're curious.]

Look up James Burke, he is suppose to be a historian(?) on bank and technology about ____ who apparently either writes well or gives excellent lecture. And either way I'd like to get my tow hands on those according to Bob, you get the idea. Talk to you later. Bye.
I'm listening to "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Podcast" and he's talking up some historian with a radio show he likes.
That's not 'Bank' though I can't for the life of me remember what it's supposed to be - that's why I jotted it in the first place. Yes, I get the idea though I'm not about to win any prizes for eloquence.

____ guy, he is a really really amazing and his is coming to the project, I mean on what he has this web of connectivity ____ but it's amazing, I mean he is I wonder if Jott is gonna be able to incorporate pauses heard to read me as I talk without these pauses. He takes us through from ______figure to that one we haven't really heard of, but what is important for and how about the how about it connected to something completely different and he takes us all over the place and he thinks in terms of connections I believe and he wants to teach other people to think in terms of connections which is very cool. Of course to do so you have to have one of these brain that thinks in connections and remembers facts very well and immediately jump to pull I for the name before and in this context you know of course I don't have have that brain ideal.
It turns out this James Burke guy was actually the guest on the podcast, Dan just took his sweet time in mentioning it. Basically Burke forms interconnections between historical events, playing a version of 'six degrees of separation' (or the equally entertaining '5 clicks to Jesus'). I like the idea.12 May 2008, 8:12pm
___ I don't think ____ plan of activity in the same way that someone along the line that this James Burk guy does, and I'm pretty much capable of developing some sense of it as I'm sure I would have been if I had been aware, it probably would have been cool although in the end of the day, I don't believe but that's how I think. From suited to dealing with individual task thoroughly and logically and without too much recourse to general knowledge, because frankly I just don't have it although I'm working on that, but it's kind of, as the, you know forcing a square peg in a round hole. But, I guess that's how I learned to read. Anyway, I will now go back to it, but this is an interesting drive for Jott. Adios.
Here I make the point that my shitty memory can't manage to hold onto the name of Hawaii, let alone all of those connections. Seriously, I forget struggle for the word Hawaii more often than you'd think, along with names of good friends, the name 'ninja turtles' [note: the name of the show, not the individual turtles] and most recently the name of Belgium on several occasions - hey I remembered it! You just don't notice because when I forget words I talk around them. "Those American islands in the mid Pacific are pretty sunny, eh?" *Wink for comedic effect, insinuating my use of American islands is a joke and not because of my idiocy*
Fun sidenote: I wrote "mid Atlantic" at first! Good for me.

For I just had to add this one thing. At the end of the Jott I've doing on the road today, there was a bureau one reminder quest at the end of ____ to e-mail me and tell me that I've Jott it which it had done automatically and I have to say no because I figured I would remember. But just with the hell of this, last time I said yes and it actually was a feature to remind me,and the feature said window with a reminder. I tried tomorrow coz I suppose I could have set a day or a date
Jott has added a reminder feature...

Well, it's not perfect, just cut me off, but I said to Morrow that Janet asked me what time, I said 3, then got it a.m. or p.m. I said p.m. He said great. I will send you a reminder on Tuesday, the 13th of May, I mean, I am not getting the order right at 3 p.m. Is that correct, I said yes and then said thank you and just saw a ridiculous or files are right away. These words are condition stuff is very useful. Anyways, thank you and adieus on tell the next time my John.
... and it's cool because it understands me. 'Janet' = 'then it'.
Proving less useful than I had thought it would be.

Some laughing disturbed, I just--that was a great quote. We're running a Ferrari with the buggy web. Yeah, the guy is basically saying that our brains can handle the shift from tribal living to this urban living and is incredible. It has when ____ transitional period right now. It's seems that we're very optimistic about where we're going. But his argument is basically that we're not transition, transitional period right now and that it's not that were not biologically adopted, but they were not institutionally adopted at this point in time or evolved. But to that coming and that resumes(?) with me, so. Anyway...adios.
Well at least it picked up on the laughing though it is once again taking some creative license in labling it 'disturbed'. The quote is "We're running a Ferrari with a buggy whip".13 May 2008, 9:06am
Well, leaving the hotel, 9:07 AM. Same hotel, actually ended up staying in I think the last 2 times. I guess it's the first motel once you hit Pennsylvania which tends to be my cut off point. Didn't take me as long today as it has in years back even with the rain. So, that's been kind of nice. So I am anticipating another eight hours on the road. Anyway,s I was looking to go to podcastalley.com. That it's podcastalley.com. Let's see how well Jott picks up on that. This Jotting has been a lot of fun and I'm enjoying my trip and I'm already getting to a point where the trees are not all perfectly leave

Reading through my history, through my writing compiled to try and keep my memory intact. It's important not to get a skewed(?) view of man(?) to going to these historical figures and watching historians draw conclusions off of their writing ____ you gotta realize that someone writes because their's a reason to write because he's in a mood to write, because he thinks their's an important purpose behind writing and that your going to give an overly dramatic, or overly complex or introspective view of the person and the first humans area susceptible to over generalization so in doing so your ending history your creating this...
Basically I only write when I'm feeling dramatic and/or creative, therefore this isn't me. It's creative-drama me.
Awwww - I hope the poor nerd gets his date; his delivery screams timid like a bunny which makes you root for him.
