Quantum Entanglement (A Love Story)
I'm seriously not one to be trifled with IRL.
I like this blog, Tuma. Always liked your 2p2 posts. You're not run-of-the-mill. But I arrived late; I'll be reading old entries in the next few days, getting a better sense of things.
It's now Day 25 Sober.
Thus far it has been unquestionably the best thing I've ever done for myself.
I've taken breaks from weed before.
Not many breaks, but I have.
Usually it's just okay, with some malaise.
And then I ask myself, "What's the point?"
And then I cave.
This time around is totally different.
My brain was ready for something new,
and I delivered.

Sleep - 3-4 hours
Awake 8am, just in time to catch the end of Tokyo Series Game 1
Tomorrow, Roki Sasaki makes his major league debut for The Dodgers.
He's more or less the biggest pitching prospect of all time.
Or at least, imo, the one with the most potential.
He reminds me of Pedro Martinez.
Magnus Carlsen, I love you dude.
Sincerely yours
Your Biggest Fan

I cheated in Middle School, and High School. I don't regret that at all.
I've never cheated in cards.
I've never cheated in gambling.
I've never cheated in transacting.
I've never shot an angle intentionally.
I've never misrepresented my poker skills or results.
My gambling reputation matters to me as much as my health does.
Limon said it best. It's something that only YOU know, and it's something you will take to your grave.
I'm so happy I have a clean slate.
I'm so happy to be generally trusted.
Yvette still amazing today.
A Klein bottle is a fascinating object in mathematics, specifically in the field of topology. It is a closed, non-orientable surface, meaning it has no boundaries (like a sphere or a torus) and lacks a consistent “inside” or “outside.” Unlike familiar surfaces such as a sphere, which has two distinct sides, a Klein bottle is non-orientable, implying it has only one side. This property makes it impossible to define a consistent “up” or “down” direction across its entirety—traveling along certain paths on the surface can lead you back to your starting point, but as your mirror image.
Construction and Visualization
One way to conceptualize a Klein bottle is through its construction. Imagine taking a square and identifying its edges in a specific manner:
• The top and bottom edges are glued together with the same orientation (e.g., both pointing right).
• The left and right edges are glued together with opposite orientations (e.g., one pointing up, the other down).
This identification creates a surface where traveling across an edge can flip your orientation. Alternatively, the Klein bottle can be thought of as being formed by gluing two Möbius strips together along their single edges, since a Möbius strip is also a non-orientable, one-sided surface.
In three-dimensional space, it’s impossible to construct a Klein bottle without it intersecting itself. A common visual representation is a bottle whose neck bends, passes through the side of the bottle, and connects to the base. However, this self-intersection is an artifact of trying to depict a four-dimensional object in 3D. In four-dimensional space, the Klein bottle exists perfectly without crossing itself.
Properties
• Non-orientable: If you move a small loop around certain paths on the Klein bottle and return to the starting point, the loop’s orientation may reverse, reflecting its single-sided nature.
• Closed: It has no edges or boundaries, making it a fully enclosed surface.
• Euler Characteristic: The Klein bottle has an Euler characteristic of zero, a topological invariant that helps classify surfaces (for comparison, a sphere has an Euler characteristic of 2, and a torus has 0 as well).
Intuition
Think of the Klein bottle as an extension of the Möbius strip. While a Möbius strip is a one-sided surface with a boundary, the Klein bottle is a one-sided surface without a boundary. Its strange properties mean that, unlike a regular bottle, it doesn’t truly have an “inside” to hold water in the mathematical sense—though physical 3D models, which have thickness, can.
In summary, a Klein bottle is a closed, non-orientable surface that cannot be embedded in three-dimensional space without self-intersection, embodying a mind-bending blend of geometry and topology that challenges our everyday notions of surfaces.

Oh my ****ing God.

Sleep - About 3 hours
Awake - 4am
Brag: fell asleep sans drugs.
Beat: Had an inception-like dream where each level I was more mentally disabled and monkey-like.
Variance: Briefly went back to sleep and erased most of the dream from my memory.
The Roki Sasaki spaceship takes off for the first time in under two hours.
I have a fetish for great pitchers.
I'm more of a purist than I am a fan of the game.
I love all the cliches. The smell of the grass, etc.
I could watch a great pitcher warm up for hours and never get bored.
I'm so on life tilt over tonight's sham of a dream that I can barely type coherently.
This is easily the worst post in this entire blog.
I'm making coffee, and watching porn to drown my spiritual anguish.
It would suck to be a sex addict, luckily: my mental illness isn't attached to my dick.
And actually, few things give me more joy (exaggeration incoming...) than when powerful men throw away their lives over sex.
Mets Superfan Frank Flemming ****ing rules.
His walks inspire me to work harder and to lose the baby weight.
