Numbers are usually used to represent symbolic stuff and have representative essences. With repetition, they create either mystery or pattern, or even both. With logical sequencing, they can form a intellegent program or create a garbage of equations known as math. On the literaturative level, numbers can create empasis on plotlines and bring out discussion after a depth of analysis. Numbers can also mean a lot of other things; they can signify hope. They can hint at love. They can strike fear. They can restore health. They can stir up caution and calm storms. And the etcteras... I somehow feel that if I keep ranting over this, its going to sound like I'm doing a phililosphy lesson on the first chapter of the primary one math textbook.

Personally, I have a few special numbers that I can relate to in life:

127 -- It used to be a number to signify a destruction. Really, it has a pretty long story which will be extremely stupid for me to talk about. I used to say 'Zone 127', to show a place that is brutally destroyed, now I respect the number 127 as a number of growth and transformation, with a slight hint at pain. Again, its a very long tale for me to elaborate on, especially when it involves many small moments, but basically, change and growth will come the best when you learn it through pain -- therefore Zone 127 will be a zone of refraction instead.

160 -- 'The number of waiting'. This originally started of as a joke with a friend; upon returning home from that idiot's house, I had to take the bus 160. And I still remember the hour plus I had wasted at the bustop for the bus while chatting to him. 160 became more rooted onto me when very strangely, it was potrayed out when I had to do something involving wait. Again, I decline to elaborate...

78 -- The number of inspiration. Again, this deals with a bus number. And I love the journey this bus goes through. To quote my friend, "I take this bus everytime to get inspiration, sometimes I get great ideas though sometimes I don't." (His a amatuer but extremely talented artist and very creative game/comic/anime fan) Indeed, 78 is a really refreshing bus ride - from my school, it goes past shopping centres towards a mildly dense housing area, running past a few neighbourhood schools, then it enters a business and industry circle, passes more housing estates, goes past a reserviour, passes a top school, travels onwards through insitutes and buildings and finally approaches a shopping-cum-business district, then I alight to go home. (Now everyone knows where I live. Aw damn.) A perfect trip to take when I have no need to settle any pressing workload, or when I want to just think.


.44-- I wonder if its coincedene that I everytime I look at my watch or a certain digit-processor (e.g. Menu screen digits for RPGs, Robolab inital value for rotary sensor programming, timer when I'm seeing how fast I can do something etc.) , it appears as something-44. Perhaps my brain registers a common time for me to trigger anxiousness/curiousity/nothing-to-do-ness, and I go check my watch. To me, its just one of life's werid little things.

And well, a few more that I won't move into.

Another aspect of numbers that brings out a spirit of competition, with everyone aiming to be a number 1. With everyone aiming to get a higher amount of power. Becuase numbers are the bare esstentials of the caculative comparisions, because they are the yardstick for the ponder of the ones of the world.

Some want those qualities be re-numbered on the scale of piroity, some input a plunge of desire to obtain the number.

That numbers.
