-14

it's sunday, and again it's time to write but i have this strong feeling i should write only tomorrow.
but i come here to start again and accomplish my calendar of my nothings to say.
and you haven't noticed but last sunday the title became 13 when it was supposed to be -13.
and now i can tell you it was a decision. a good decision precisely made.
but i am not going to lie to you: it wasn't decided. it happened.
the same way today i precisely decided to postpone for tomorrow these words, but writing them today allow me to notice an important difference on the count down.
and it made this post possible, precisely decided.
and i wish a lot of decisive decisions for the week.
have a good week, until next sunday.

today i am going to tell you the story of a tree.
a tree falling over a river.
and the question is which one came first.
because no one knows the age of any river.
or at least what we call river.
the water in the river is always different.
always flows, never stays.
what can we call a river?
the margins.
where we fish if we like to do.
where we can stay for a while and take a nap.
under the tree.
where we can go and tell a secret.
and the river keeps flowing.
or not? if the river is only the margins, only the water flows, the river never leaves the same place.
but if the river is not its water, what can we call to a dry area similar to a river?

so i said it was ok to ask about the pi day, and my friends Diana twitter@diana605 and Maurício twitter@businari, just to make me write a little more, want a pi day definition.
ok, i didn't invent the day. i found it through Sarah twitter@pussreboots that a pi day was born.
and to me it's ok, but i like to be controversial, so let me say just a few things to make you mad at me.
pi is similar to 3,14159265
so the idea was to turn the integer the month, and the centesimals the day. ok.
WHY NOT 22/7? = 3,142857 and somewhere in history it was the pi, or not? and similar or not?
...........
and going by another more precise road: if months are integers, 14 should be centesimal but the month of march has only 31 days, so: 14/31 is to big compared to 14/100. i tried a little and without precision i found: 3rd month, 4th day, 9h20m is the more precise pi minute of the year. so i would go for march 4th (let's take off the 9h20m).
......................
another try: 31 of month 4 is also 314. ok, you got me, april has only 30 days! but 31 april is equal to 1 may! why not? so it could be 1st of may the pi day.
.....
but no: it had to be 14 of march. and you know? i have a good reason to be happy with it, but you can ask me anything i'll tell you if i can, but not that. oh no. don't even try. i am not going to tell you.
and... until sunday... or later... or sooner... keep celebrating the pi!

and last week it was a coincidence post, better, finally it was a post to welcome women day.
but i'm not going to speak about women or about anything.
i'm just saying a few words about my usual prefered subject.
and finally when i am going to write something about nothing, a very important information comes to me.
IT'S PI DAY!
what?
that's right!
pi day.
so pi has a day also.
well, if there are days for everything, pi deserves one also.
i agree with that.
and i could explain you why, but then you wouldn't ask.
so, if you know, you don't need this information.
if you don't, all you have to do is to ask.
