From Where I Stand

Basically, I know about air providing lift

flowing across the given shape of an aircraft

wing. I learned it takes a certain velocity and

speed to escape the bounds of gravity.

I have come to understand that the body can

withstand excessive g-forces when equipped

with a properly pressurized suit.

Mathematically calculated trajectory which

ensures pinpointing the target precisely takes

a higher degree of education than was ever

understood by me.

Hell, I doodled cartoon characters on my

assignment paper during math class in the

eighth grade.

While I have in my lifetime managed to get

from point A to point B, without personally

applying algebraic, geometric or calculi

techniques, I have frequently relied upon

maps, GPS and the random, hit and miss

directions of those who did.

I do, however, get the droll humor behind the

antics of Charlie Brown and Lucy. But still, to

this day, Einstein’s E=mc2 remains a mystery

to me.
