Gem Car Mod

Here is what I think I would do for my wife. It's not perfect but is starting to look like a car. I put a VW front end on the back and modifide the fender. The size of the VW nose is not to scale as I haven't any dimentions to work with. I took the nose and moved it forward about 15 inches and tried to make it resemble a ford model A. I am looking at making the doors and other mods mount to the outside of the cage in hopes of giving a couple of inches to the interior for wider seats. I also want to widen the width putting the wheels, fenders, and a step to the outside. I was thinking of making the cage area look a bit like a T-bucket and increase the safety by using metal and carbon fiber for the addons. The added storage space would be used for extra power to keep the range up and allow for adding things that it might need.

I have a cool idea for the door handles. I want one door handle that will be used for both getting in and out of the car. I just have to figure out how to keep it from getting iced over or otherwise jammed. I would also like to use plexiglass for the upper portion of the cab opening in such a way as to provide a stronger and safer cab without impeding visibility.

I need to remove the VW look to the back, get the colors I want, along with the rest of the side view mods. Then I can start on the front and rear views and a couple of angle shots. And try to do a sketch-up model. I may not be a Chip Foose but I will get out the pencils and draw it up using every shade of gray there is. I love gray tones so I will make it blue as the primary color but with gray tones. So here is my idea of a Gem Car Mod.

Go On Ahead

This is a poem I wrote when I was feeling down because of one person. Although it seams to be morbid it is about winning by letting their own guilt destroy the sole. When life is over many of the hurts we suffer will come to an end and we hold the fate of others soles in ourselves. But in doing so we also stand a chance that one of those that have hurt us has changed and become free of the guilt and so if we hold against them what they have done to us and they are free of the guilt then we hold guilt in ourselves and destroy our own chance for redemption.

Man of destruction

Why don't you know

Hell is in the living

And death comes to slow

Your hands around my neck

Go ahead and squeeze

I'll smile at you

while my life leaves

The tear in your eye

It's all a lie

You enjoy killing

Find it fulfilling

So go on ahead

I'm already dead

Let go of the rope

Life's a fucking joke

So man of destruction

Now you feel alive

You have ended my hell

All my madness has died

Let go of my limp body

You shake from the thrill

The smile on my face

It gives you a chill

Man of self destruction

Hell's found you dead

Life not worth living

Death filled your head

You feel your body fall

All your life let loose

Join us where we live

Leave behind your noose

My random question study

If you really want a random question that has a point such as to develop a game or a collaborative book it should start with questions that give have similar points but generate different answers. If you are interested in game development this could be used to create a game that is based purely on random strings that are generated from the story.
The following question can be regenerated dynamically in many different ways. We will look only at the year for now.

The year is 2089 and you have been given nearly unlimited control of a secret government program on one of the largest unused military bases on the planet. On the surface it is just another over funded research project. In truth it is...

Now lets look at what can be randomized to produce different responses.

The year is ("$") and you have been given nearly unlimited control of a secret government program on one of the largest unused military bases on the planet. On the surface it is just another over funded research project. In truth it is...

As the year changes the so will the reality of the responses. The closer to the actual year the more likely the response is to be based in what is known or perceived as truth. The further away from the current year the more likely that it is to be based in fiction. If the year is left to the respondent to fill in the control of the question would be harder to maintain. If the year chosen is done randomly the control of the answer is then harder to maintain. A possible solution for this is that the year is set by response to other random questions. When the year reaches a preselected level of response it can be locked and a new string can be developed.
Another possible solution could be that the string is generated dynamically by the users input to the question. The way this would work is that words and word groups can be given a rating that could be translated into years. This is to say that the more futuristic the wording the further into the future the year becomes.
This could be used as a direct challenge to the respondent to get the year to fall into a range the respondent wants. Each time the respondent clicks a button or a refresh interval is reached the year would update.
Once the respondent has finished the session they could choose to save as a draft or publish. The published response would then be sent to the story for rating. The rating process would use keywords rather than a numerical type rating system. Any time a comment is made on a published response the keywords are chosen and given a weight.

The Mutant Me

I am a mutant and have been for most of my life now. I have enjoyed a lot of my mutations but have yet to find the process that allows full control over the mutations. Although science has proven that genetics are responsible for nearly all of our physical characteristics there is still some room to look at other possibilities.
Maybe it is time to look at how we change throughout our lives from a different direction.
Mutation is nothing more than change and change is inevitable. If we don't have change we don't have life. Our brains continue to mutate all of our lives and yet we never realy think about how control of these mutations is maintained. Our beliefs keep us from looking in places that are within the areas of mythology, metaphysics, religion, and any other area that has yet to be measured by physical means.
When it comes to the physical interaction with the world around us we need but to think of the action to perform it. But what about the physical interactions with the world within us. Can we merely think about an action to perform it if that action involves our genetic makeup? Do we somehow cause our own genetic differences by a conscious desire to have a particular difference. Our thoughts do have a direct influence on the connections that are made or maintained within our brain. If you think about something imaginary long enough it can become as real as anything else.

We die

What happens when we die? Does anyone really know for sure? With so many differing ideas about life after death does there have to be one absolute answer?
Our beliefs in life guide us in each thing we do so why should it be any different in death. It's not hard to believe in many of the different ideas that there are about death. Each person has there own theory about it. Some think that if we kill ourselves that will result in going to hell or if we die a violent death that will make us walk as ghost were we died. Are these things true?
I like to think that we choose our own fate in death by our own beliefs. So if you truly believe that when you die you will go to heaven then that is what happens. In a way you are trapped by your beliefs into the belief just as you are trapped by your beliefs in life. So as a spirit you remain stuck to haunt an apartment that you died in it is because you believe that this is how it is to be. But if you knew that you could go anywhere that you choose you would be able to leave.
I don't think it is all that big of a deal to see that we have a choice in death just as we do in life. On the biblical side you have the idea that we are made in Gods image. To explain this would require a whole book. Basically it just means that we are capable of things that we are not really aware of. So what keeps us from doing the things that are attributed to God like qualities? Fear. We are afraid to be what we are.
Think about it.

Half the story

One day the author of the "Random Question" had an almost idea. In a storm of madness the Random Question was born. The fury of the storm must have subsided quickly though. The story was never finished. If it were complete it would have more then just a few who answer the call of wild neural activity that is needed to form a more complicated reply.
You see the whole point in having random questions is to form a story based upon a theme. Take for example the following question and my reply.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

When I see that this particular alien species is the result of genetic engineering of some form of semi intelligent vegetable and humanoid. They produce a smell of a very tasty stir fry I once had. My mind becomes centered on how to overcome moralistic ideals in order to feed our planets ever increasing masses. According to the report I had read these small creatures are a perfect blend of all the beneficial nutrients that are needed to sustain human dietary needs. My mind raced as my mouth began to water from the smell of the 3o beings I was meeting with. Suddenly I had a plan and I smiled as I pretended to listen intently but for me the conversation was over.

What would the next question be then? Well if you search for word groups you could take the information and compose a list of possible questions. Do a little matching and pose the question. The questions could come from searches also.

Let's say that "overcome moralistic ideals" was picked out. It would match with "activist". This would be given the most weight in the paragraph. The rest of it would be based around the implied outcomes of the opposing sides.

On one side you have the first sentence that gives human like qualities plus the "these small creatures are" word group. Pit that against all the references to food, eating, smell, and taste and you can come up with only a few likely candidates for the next question.

Now as each answer becomes more complex the questions can also gain in complexity. Then you can move into phase 3 and this is where it gets really fun.

Hear I are

Welcome to this stupid blog.
Yes, I do know how to spell and proper word usage. However, I am lousy at public writing. So I will write a bunch of incoherent ramblings for your amusement. I will just tell it like it is and hope that I can work from there.
