The number 8

• A note played for one-eighth the duration of a whole note is called an eighth note, or quaver.

• An octave, the interval between two notes with the same letter name (where one has double the frequency of the other), is so called because there are eighth notes on a western scale between the two, including the notes themselves.

• There are eighty-eight (88) keys on a piano.

• Songs with the number eight in their title include the Byrds's Eight Miles High and the
Beatles' Eight Days a Week.

• Dream Theater's eighth album Octavarium contains many different references to the number eight, including the number of songs and various aspects of the music and cover artwork.

I took all of that from a website. WHO CARES! I get so tired of conspiracy theories. There are a lot of coincidences OK! Don't be afraid of the number 8. Dream Theater aren't Gods because they thought about how much eight is in music and put it all over there album. Most of the time I just feel that it is obnoxious.

Truth can stand by itself without any weirdness at all. That is why talking about conspiracy upsets me. Show me true facts and why it is true rather then just making me feel it is weird and creepy. They try to teach that truth is odd. Truth is not odd, truth is solid and understandable.

8-ball

The "Magic 8-ball" is something people call this ---->

This is something that I would not call "magic". My definition of magic is not as follows:

Ma-gic /majik/ (adj): To describe something that angers you and splits friends apart for an evening after what could have been a really fun game. Often leading to split ties and shattered dreams.

Magic is something that is often describing something of awe or amazement, not something that make you want to punch another human being. People pay money to go see magic shows. If magic was the definition I wrote above, magic shows would be something that happened in POW camps.

The number 8

It's a homophone! It is probably one of the happiest homophones that exist. Whenever I think that I ate 8 of anything I bet I am in a food coma(I guess because I only eat big things. Not grapes or anything like that).


They are spelled so differently as well. ATE and EIGHT. Ate looks like how it should be spelled and eight looks more like this phonetically eh-I-guh-te. This sounds more like a Native American name. Chief Eight(eh-I-guh-te). I don't know why they couldn't of just had it be a homonym. No one would have every had the number 8 and having eaten in the past mixed up in a sentence. I will illustrate my point.


I ate apples, ate of them(oh no that didn't help my cause). Ate people are zombies(people who are eaten become zombies, this really is a problem). Ok, well I guess we should just never spell out 8. Always just write the number, no matter what the grammatical rule is.

The number 8

Who did the number 8 have to speak with(or sleep with, I don't really know how it works with numbers) to become so important? Early on in the creating process of numbers he wasn't that high on the totem pole. If they needed a number he was the eighth person they would call. When they were first invented numbers, 7 inventions were created before he was. Number one was there go to guy(or I guess "person" to be gender neutral). Early on with numbers I bet 8 wasn't used that much. They either killed one animal or zero animals. Those were the numbers they were sleeping with originally. Now the number 8 has become pretty important.

Not long ago some scientist was like, "Somethings can go on forever". Another scientist was like, "That is totally true man". They both were a little freaked out, then they thought, "We should name it infinity"(because that would be the first thought you would have to name it). Then the other scientist said, "The symbol for infinity should an 8 that is laying down on its side, because here recently the eight has been really nice to me...if you know what I mean". The other scientist didn't know what he meant.

Somehow 8 went from the 8th guy in line to the first, at least in the scientific community. I think it is because of the scientific community's love for the band Three Dog Night. They wrote a song about how "one is the loneliest number" and how "two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one" Since scientist are always over thinking, they tried to find when a number becomes unlonely and the number 8 had the best argument...I guess.

Art Review

The edge of the art we are looking at is the black/brown. I think that the frame with the art became much more interesting, but just the art itself is very boring.

I have painted a few houses. We do a type of antiquing that looks really good on lighter colors. This looks to me like a brown antiquing that is on a black paint. It would darken a room and make a room shrink. Perhaps some people would like this, but not me.

I do see this as a painted wall; with that perspective, it looks as though there is a flaw right in the middle of the wall.

I also feel pretty upset that other people see things in this photo. I feel right.
