Yet, I think that what they have is sometimes so beautiful and even more so than heterosexual love because for one, they have to fight through all the persecution and secondly, go through a reduced pool of choices to find the one, it is indeed a tough feat to manage but I love how this couple's found each other and promiscuity does not seem to be in the equation. Anyhow, I was reminded of this poem and I thought I'd share it with all of you.
The Square Root of Three
I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
:- David Feinburg
So just in case all of you are poetic ignoramuses, this is the central theme of the poem; It's mainly talking about Homosexuality and the problem of finding gay love. Read it again with this thought in mind, if you are STILL unsure of what it's talking about... then erm..well. Refer to paragraph below.
The integers represent the heterosexual lovers out there and the homosexuals have a label on them, also known as the evil square root sign. Yet, when two of the same kind get together. in this case when two square root signs multiply, it disappears and they become a complete integer. I thought it was such a sweet poem.
My take on it however is that this poem doesn't have to be gaycentric, it could really be dedicated to oddballs like me or nerds like anne or just awesome musicbuffs like shameen. We're all just waiting for our own kind to take us away and leave all the integers behind.
Lastly, I'd like to leave all of you with another geeky endeavour that I had the fine chance of being exposed to. Compliments of fatboy91 aka Jerry Cheong. I'm secretly happy that not many people read the oracle anymore because as much as I want to share this next item with all of you, I don't want THE WHOLE WORLD to know it too. I want it to be exclusive. So people,
please solve this:
There was really supposed to be an equation here but the html kept screwing up and I'm terrible at this whole computer bonanza. Guess it'll have to remain exclusive.
x, the oracle

it is indeed a beautiful poem. but hey, homosexuals do not have a reduced pool of choices to find the one. its equal by the existence of free-will.
for heterosexuals and homosexuals alike, the dynamics of monogamic love are the same. the person of desire ultimately has a choice to accept and love them or simply reject them. where the factors influencing the choice may differ, the choice is ultimately pretty straightforward. humans, however, limit their own 'pool' through conditions and mindsets.
its like how the speaker hints at the strict exclusiveness between the 'threes' and 'root threes'. who defined such a distinction? does he mean that when one is a 'three', he can never be a 'root three' or vice versa? if so, his usage of mathematical references to represent humans is a fallacy. for a deviation to exist, there must be a norm. with that,if a deviation then exists, it proves that the norm is not infallible, it can be deviated from.
hence, can a 'root three' combine straightforwardly with a 'three'? mathematically speaking, it cannot, it is either (3+√3)or some number with a decimal. but homosexuals can date heterosexuals and vice versa, because one can choose to become either. we are not defined by laws. that is the power of free will.
pardon me, i am utterly bored, and am spouting disputable rubbish. haha. guess who i am!
