Don't worry. I already know I'm crazy.

Recently I went to a movie with a Russian.

I am of the opinion that starting a sentence with “I am of the opinion” is quite unnecessary. Nonetheless, I have an opinion I’d like to express. Here is the math:

Let x stand for the preview of the movie (seen during Proof) and y represent the night Eugene spun records at Larimer Lounge, so then x + y = z

To come to x, consider a1 + b1 = x1 where a1 is working for the German, and b1 is the TV at the German’s house where I first saw the preview for Proof. Then consider a2 + b2 = x2 when a2 is my passion for Jake Gyllenhaal (measured in beats/minute) and b2 is my tendency for nerdy activities such as movies about math (see the first law of entropy). Once these are established, then it is clear that x1+ x2 = x.

To come to y, consider c1 + d1 = y1, where c1 is equal to the number of time I have seen Gogol Bordello, and d1 is a measurement of how much I like to dance (also measured in beats/minute). Then consider c2 + d2 = y2, where c2 is the boy (unknown ethnic background) with the video camera and d2 is the boy (the Russian!) who recorded sound. Once these factors are established it is clear that y1 + y2 = y.

It is now seen that x + y = z, where z represents going to a movie with a Russian.

It didn’t make any sense a few days ago because of one extremely complicated factor:

So there you have it.

PS – Gogol Bordello is playing at the Bluebird on the 15th. Stay tuned for the possibilities of an afterparty.

the little one is probably not going? His loss!
