We're at this stage in life where we reminisce too much of our near past, worry too much about our near future, are
too clueless about everything that can, will, may happen to us, think we know alot, think we don't know anything,
am confident about the wrong things, take pride in wasting time away, want too much but want to do too little.
Ohwell.

Probabilities
The nights where I lie in bed with three tribal Mongolians barbecuing in my head, I was thinking about probability, and why I didn't remember P(A) X P(B) = P(A n B) if A and B are independent.
Anyway, if everything that's not possible is impossible, then
P(Impossible) = 1 - P(Possible)
And then since not everything is possible, meaning P(Possible) has to be less than 1, then P(Impossible) should not be zero.
But that doesn't make sense because if P(Impossible) is not zero, then it shouldn't be impossible.
Hence I concluded, together with the three tribal Mongolians in my head, that there's such thing as Possible YET Impossible, or Impossible BUT Possible. Things like, "It's impossible to pass Physics, but if we try hard enough, it's possible".
Maybe that constitutes to a little part of the entire set.
1 = P(Possible) + P(Impossible) + P(Impossible and Possible)
And since P(Impossible) = 0,
1 = P(Possible) + P(Impossible and Possible)
Which means to say, nothing is impossible. This is so Adidas.
I hope you're reading this early in the morning, then you'll go, Barney why does she have to mess with my brain and put Mongolians inside so early in the morning.
Anyway, my fever is gone! Mongolians left early this morning, with the barbecued stuff. Idiots, never even leave me a chicken wing.
Okay sorry. Funny gene still sleeping.
Byebye!
9:57:00 AM because I say so
