M : Okay what actually is the purpose of this format; the dialogue-like chat for the blog?
ell : the blogue?
M : Yes, why did you spell it like that.
ell : thats a question?
M : The period full stop (".") is to indicate my tone.
ell : okay not.
M : *sighs*
ell : wow a digital sigh
M : You didn't answer the former initial question.
ell : right: to document… yeah thats it
M : I think that this will be very boring.
ell : wellput
ell : if yu wear waterbottles on your feet, can you walk on water? onlt if taking into account alternate universes
M : What did you do now.
ell : i pur empty waterbottles (plastic) under both our feet and i wondered that,
so the question again, if you wear wa—
M : No, a couple of plastic bottles will not support your weight on water.
ell : i dissagree
M : I know that you know the possibility of your statement-question is questionable,
and I also know that you will have an unreasonable reason to reason your claim; so bring it on!
ell : ur rebbutal did not include the possibility of alternate universes that says "yes you can be that boy-antmy god"
so an infinite chunk of a relatively infinite ammount of universes define my statement as not stupid and not un-true..
M : We are nowhere near qualified to talk about this with a tone of voice in a faux-scientific tone.
ell : admit youre rong
M : With your logic, yes I admit I'm wrong.
But in your original statement you didn't specify that fact—the fact we're taking into account parralel/alternate universes.
ell : says who
M : It's right th—you changed it
ell : itsalways ben like that
M : For the readers… but… Gah!
M : You know, yesterday's conversation reminds me a lot of the library of babel.
ell : using wikipedia as a hyperlink link... link, also is it because of the universe variation thing
M : Yes, every universe containing every possibility of what can happen is very similar to every combination of letters possible in a book.
ell : there shouldbe a library of babbel for uhhh comics
M : How would that work—Every panel is randomised, The contents also random pixel formations?
ell : ya
M : I mean... we someone kind-of already did that, with the image version "Gallary of Babel"
ell : yeah i see, but like in the format of a comic. like panel per panel
M : I guess i should've clarified: someone already did the concept. So you could find a series of images that are back-to-back that make a sensible comic
ell : babel babel
M : Babel, babel, babel.
ell : will navidson

ell : no key?
M : What were we referencing?
ell : oh nice i see
M : Straight forward, make sure to separate the colours.
M : Throughout the day I keep getting ideas for the blogue, but when i get to have a chance to actually writing it i forget what i want to write
ell : whydont we take notes throughout the day
M : What if i don't have my phone on me?
ell : get a book
M : Same logic, I'm saying that i won't be able to always remember to write down things.
ell : sentences amirite
M : Huh? Oh yeah [haha]
ell : dw words are a struggle for the average english man M : Englishman? ell : see? M : 'C'! ell : Why Oh, You are? M = MAZE ell : hey you can't do that!
ell : also as david lynch himslef yused to say "If you forget an idea you love, you want to commit suicide"
M : That's true.
ell : let this be a lesson
M : Hey, I'm supposed to be the one that's giving the advice here
ell : this is a blog not a therapy chatroom
M : Thank you Joshus.
M : Wow, I haven't drawn an actual drawing in a while; almost a week.
ell : for someone else a week is quite a short ammounr of time
M : For something I used to constantly do when i was younger, I think I've been slowing down on my creative output.
ell : oh w— hm to a plant a day is relatively short
M : Meaning?
ell : time is relativ to tha perseever
M : Oh I knew that.
ell : yup so then what does it mean huh
M : Um...
ell : it means that even though you think ur slowin down it deosnt change that you still want to draw [you want to draw right?]
M : Yeah I do.
ell : its good to wait for a muse or an inspiration but if you wait to loon g to do something well then... you never get to wanting to do it
M : Your advice is very vague; or maybe just roughly formatted
ell : giving advice isnt my best ability
M : We both know that, thanks for trying.
ell : ivsenatfirtineincdeltikoehmae
M : What?
ell : i messed up typing int i
M : I think you did.
ell : oops hold on let me
M : What?
ell : i lowered the volume of everyting on tha computer
M : Johnny

ell : cool thanks
M : Thumbs up!
ell : patients sounds a lot like patience
M : Yeah, because it's a homonym.
ell : you dont think i know that
M : I know we know that... okay continue your initial thought.
ell : okai, and we also know that there are homonyms for letters in the alphabet right
M : A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z, wait is that why we alphabet-ed?
ell : yeah in addition to the thing
M : Right, so uh...
ell : org/asm
M : What?
ell : okay im looking at the title what is this about
M : Yes, we know what Hilbert's Hotel is right?
ell : of course
M : I'll explain it anyways (for fun) : [I've written this explanation so many times but the website didnt save and i lost 3 paragraphs] The proposition starts with "An infinitely long bus with an infinite amount of passengers arrive at Hilton's Hotel to stay there. But unfortunately, the hotel is already at maximum occupancy—with an already infinite amount of occupants in the infinite amount of rooms. The hotel manager is tasked with finding a way to fit another infinite amount of people into the hotel that's already full", so then it continues with the obvious, simple solution that suggests that every select set of an indefinite length on the number line is equal in length to the whole set of numbers. So the solution proposed is that "every occupant 'n' will move to double their room number '2n' . and the newcomers will fill in every empty room left behind".
ell : ughf reading
M : Shh—but what I'm saying is that, for higher room numbers like for example 245,744 would have to go to 491,488; which if we say that every room is 5 meters an-
ell : youre taking too long.
M : Sorry, my point is that if this hotel has or does exist, it would mean occupants of this hotel—that go this procedure—would have to walk miles every time there's a new infinite.
ell : well it is a hypothetical so lets think of it like one lets? [...] okay maybe the creatures in the hypotherical are infintly fast, or they have technology that can let them telepotr or maybe umm they do a chain throw in wich room 1 throws room 2 to room four, and room two throws room three to room 6 etc.
M : Well concidering reality here, we—
ell : wow you really want thisthourght out your brain huh

ell : you wanna know how many bottle caps ive collected this year so far
M : I've seen the little containers you put them into, but i haven't counted them yet.
ell : 135
M : I... was honestly expecting more.
ell : its spread out anyways so thats basicaly why itseems lik ehters more then there actyally us
M : Right... wow, ten containers that are about 1/3 arm's length.
ell : how big are our arms again?
M : Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalala.
ell : wowa
M : Relative to our screen width multiplied about twice.
M : This is the first time in a while a movie caused me to tear up.
ell : which one?
M : Dancer in the Dark (2000), its the last song Next to Last Song (spoiler) that got me
ell : why are we always late to watching movies
M : What do you mean?
ell : we watched good will hunting 20 years after its releace, dead poets society by 33, and this by 26
M : I was going to make a comment on the movie, can you silence yourself for a second?
ell : alri
M : Throughout the movie I kept thinking to myself on how so many artists, talents, creatives never get the chance to show their full potential. Selma's Mind Musicals only happen inside her own mind, because every time a musical number is playing it shows the colours and the world in a more saturated tone; contrasting the dull exterior world (just stating the obvious). And (for me) i think the ending was a good ending—more short term good ending—because she managed to do a final performance, to the people who are against her and with her... but to her they are just people.
ell : yeah, well i just watched it and i understnd what ur getting at, tgeb only people who know about her talents are the uhh play director, cvalda, and... uhh i think thats it
M : Her son
ell : ya
M : Shit, It's sad
ell : yeah
M : Now the number '2056.10' is ingrained in my brain
ell : what
ell : oh
M : God why is it so hard to talk to people in real life, but put them behind a screen and I'm fine.
ell : classic case of ihate loo king at you dude u ugly
M : Not what I was talking about.
ell : i thi nk its easiere trusi tng an omnipresent voice th rough a speaker, it has less... physical risks
M : That is true, and the point I'm looking for.
ell : we used to be so active, and social back then
M : Looking backwards is not so productive
ell : were always prod udcive
ell : i keep remembering about this little thought experiment from time to time if fa child is isolated from society and any human interaction what will happen to it... im calling it it because i dont think it would be human
M : Well they would definitely have their own language, but maybe they won't talk, or think... it depends how much information we already have passed down into us, like... knowledge through DNA; that works right?
ell : well if it was birthed by a mother, then it could recognise the voice, or at least remember it but through dna im not sure
M : Right... say what if the baby infant had been given some sort of anesthesia, when it was born; so that way it could only remember being (let's just imagine they're living) in a white room—no birth, no womb, no voice
ell : total isolation
M : It would stunt their psyche so hard i don't think anyone could consider it human.
ell : what is a human?
M : What a question—incredible.
ell : genuinely
M : Look it up or something
ell : a h y ea s ho w eassyy wooow
M : Ew.
M : I was pacing around in circles in my room today, I didn't count how many steps though; unfortunately.
ell : wel lwe sat d own too rit?
M : I mean, once you've stood up you have to sit down eventually
ell : oince yo uve stopped clapping you never stopped, you were only waiting for the next one
M : And the only last thing you do is the one before you die
ell : and then there is no and then by then
M : My legs hurt
M : Pip, pip, pip, pip
ell : pip beep
M : Pip, beep, pip
ell : pip
M : Pip, pip
ell : beep pip
M : Beep
ell : pipipipip
M : Pip [efficient]
ell : beepeep
M : Beep, beep, beep
ell : pipipeep
M : Beep
ell : pipipipip
M : Beep, beep, beep
ell : pipipeepip
M : A
ell :
M : When should we begin it?
ell : begin it once were done stting everyhing up
M : Wow, that's gonna take a bit
ell : mhm
M : We've barely done anything yet for it
ell : youll know by somthi ng missing
M : Remember in middle school, where we used to observe our other classmates playing games in the distance and—
ell : and make littelcc harts in our mind ya!
M : Yeah! Looking back it was kind-of weird but who doesn't think the past is odd?
ell : whern they were playin g theri version of freeze-capture tag they always seperated by females and males
M : Yeah, and throughout the rounds, we tracked the variables that effected their playing.
ell : like the girls starting out collaborative and strong and longer on the boys kept getting more confident
M : And in the end they tied.
M : I think you can make music out of anything
ell : well if you sample and edit it enough for it to be listenable
M : No, not that, I'm talking about... just walking about and interpreting everything as "music"
ell : sounds like dancer in the dark is still on your mind
M : I've had this thought for a while
ell : well how come i dunno about it?
M : I didn't want to share until now
ell : realson oops reason being?
M : I just made a "musical track" thats just my footseps on a marble floor
ell : is itt uhhh 1.EXP.mp3?
M : Yup!
ell : well, on its own i think it could be considered music anyways, no need to interpret antyhing
M : Well, footsteps aren't exactly traditionally musical right?
ell : ...
M : Fair enough.
M : We did it!
ell : an album releaced almso t back to back with the one before!
M : Well I am just happy we get to see the collection of songs together, but that too
ell : also i like the name, clever
M : All me, he he! (M) (ell) [ow]
ell : giggly giggly
M : Why are we so giddy today?
ell : knowing there might be people that listen to it
ell : i like how this website is coming together so far, just havent done most of tha links yet
M : Right, what haven't we done yet?
ell : as of now, but prlly not when theyre reading this
M : Yes, what?
ell : well were makign a website i assume you would know
M : I only draw the stupid drawings, you're the one who has org/asms every time you finish a line of code
ell : rright... uh we havent done gallery, traditional, and no music, films yet
M : Alright.
ell : its not org/asm s
M : You think i don't know that?
ell : as in dont compare it to that
M : Oh yeah sorry
ell : no prob bob
M : "bob" hehe.
ell : cut the hairs
M : But they'll come back stronger.
ell : so what would you do?
M : I'd grow from it
ell : ill cover them
M : But will the hairs start to grow everywhere?
ell : not if you over them
M : We shouldn't have
ell : agreed to it
ell : i think the readers should try to do a mind orchestra
M : Is that really what you call it?
ell : yep
M : It's funny, keep going
ell : try humming something, doesnt ha v e to be that melodic, then save it... remember it or uhhhh k eep in mind the basic melody
M : And then...
ell : one by one add instruments to accompany the meloduy
M : It's important you do it one by one
ell : yep
M : Hey, don't you think this is just for musicians?
ell : this is for the music makers
M : Oh right cause everyone is a music maker is what you're saying
ell : did i stutter?
M : I do.
ell : eveything is music remember?
M : Right!
M : I remember the dream i had just last night
ell : me 2!
M : Was it the same dream?
ell : lest we fin d out
M : I was in a large, white, concrete room, with a small circular indent in the middle of the room that the diameter would be twice my height laying down—I could barely see where the room's corners are due to how evenly it reflected light, speaking of which where even is the light source?
ell : im in this giant white room, almost fully white, i didnt think much of it
M : The shallow indent in the middle of the room started to extrude itself deeper the more I thought about the implausibility of this room, what was before a mere inverted-bump is now a hole, that not even the light from this room could reach the bottom.
ell : i just realised a hole f ormed in the centre and i thought of jumping down, but then i imagined a staircase would be better
M : Suddenly, the hole generates a staircase for me—I didn't see how it appeared, even though I was looking intently into the hole, it's as if it had faded into reality and my brain didn't process its entrance. I of course started to go down.
ell : just as i say that a spiral staircase appears, and i go down down down, i imagine the room above has turned into something else now, i (at the moment) have forgotten about the white room, and imagined it as like a party of people trying to guide me to somewhere, but im undetered
M : It's been quite a bit, but I'm starting to hear a crowd of people in the room above me now, do they know I'm in the hole? I start to doubt myself, and I slowly try to re-emerge from the staircase.
ell : i keep going down down down down, but the deeper i go the more it feels like my head is slowly starting to be encased in a block of concrete
M : Just as my field-of-view views the beginning of the staircase, the sounds stop, and what was before a bright, white, concrete room that evenly it reflected light, into something old, ancient, cosmic but its size reduced greatly. Like a dead whale trapped in a bay of an abandoned city, I am frozen in place standing just a few steps before the floor of the room.
ell : the concrete fully consumes me and i am frozen, locked, unmoving, i regret going down, maybe going up again was a better idea after all
M : Before I could realise it, I'm starting to fall, the staircase has disappeared. I try to grab onto the hole's edges, but my body was in such a shock I woke up.
ell : woah
M : Woah indeed
ell : wellput
ell : there are prolly masters for everything
M : Definitely, the best of the best are best when everyone else isn't the best
ell : ??? oh !! you kno who might be the anagram masters?
M : I doubt you know anything about who is best at... anagram-ing
ell : the people who do those pranks that uhhh re arrange the letters to those greeting signs in front of major public infastruc ture
M : Infrastructure?
ell : yeah whatever
M : [...] You've got a point
ell : right? can you think of anymore masters?
M : Hm... gonna have to think about it
ell : right
M : eow
ell : ??
M : (M : eow)
ell : ohya nice
M : Does your name act as a prefix to anything?
ell : ephant
M : True
ell : not to be confused with ellephamt
M : Thank you JOHNNNY
ell : dont thank him
M : We both wouldn't exist right?
ell : lalala
M : Stay hard!
ell : that deserves more question marks than i could type
M : Came out wrong
ell : guess how many fingers im holding up
M : All 6
ell : nope
M : What is it then?
ell : i didnt think of one
M : O... kay
ell : [...]
M : One day I might be the one to kill you
ell : in one of the branches
M : Right... what about this branch?
ell : okay fine im holding up 6 fingers
M : Aw... doesn't really feel that impactful
ell : how so
M : It doesn't feel that impactful because i forced you to that conclusion
ell : what if i said i was holding up only 5
M : I wouldn't believe you but i'll feel better.
ell : im still holding up 6
M : Kill yous
ell : waa!!!
M : Hehe
ell : this brain should think of more people
M : One more canon event? i think one is enough
M : Whhwhwhhwhhwhwhh
ell : whahappen??
M : The feeling that someone else is in the house with us
ell : classic
M : But we live alone, and we know that
ell : maybe sitting in silence in the middle of your room for 3 hours isnt the best idea
M : I was trying to medetate
ell : you know how our brain is right
M : I oversighted that knowledge, the initial goal was to calm myself down
ell : now its the opposite
M : I might need a new perscription
ell : tell our doctor then
M : You do that
ell : ehhhh soon
M : Guh...
ell : cccrazy idea coming up
M : Mhm, I'll listen
ell : remember us before the uhh anti-sspsychotics
M : Oh how fondly I remember of those moments... why?
ell : and rember what happend when we experimented with the wall thing?
M : The cube yup, and the—
ell : ya we were basically provoking it
M : We're not withdrawing from our meds
ell : damn
M : I'm not willing to risk our sanity and our life for some silly drawings
ell : but remember how cool the cube turned out
M : You're starting to sound like JOHNNNY
ell :
M : Okay, idea canceled
ell : tru that
