The Nicest Thing by Kate Nash

All I know is that you're so nice, 
You're the nicest thing I've seen. 
I wish that we could give it a go, 
See if we could be something. 

I wish I was your favourite girl, 
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world. 
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile, 
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style. 

I wish you couldn't figure me out, 
But you'd always wanna know what I was about. 
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset, 
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met. 

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly, 
'Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see. 
Basically, I wish that you loved me, 
I wish that you needed me, 
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three. 

I wish that without me your heart would break, 
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake. 
I wish that without me you couldn't eat, 
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep. 

All i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen; 
I wish that we could see if we could be something

"Effect Change"

Well folks, I have decided to grab the bull by the horns and to quote my darling colleague Alan Bear, to "effect change". This little bumble bee is going to move country and change jobs - it's reality but not yet a fact! Which brings me to my next question: What is reality? 


"According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, when a particle is not being observed all we have is a mathematical formula (the wavefunction) representing the knowledge we have of the probability of finding the particle after we take our observation. When we observe the particle, the wavefunction 'collapses' and we perceive a localized particle. But the crucial thing is that this interpretation says nothing about what the particle is doing when we are not observing it." (Andrew Thomas) So in other words reality is our very own interpretation of a moment, a color, love, an argument, someone's opinion, rendering our interpretation of reality unique and consequently unreal (in the eye of another...). So does that mean that there is no universal reality? I would argue that yes, there is no universal reality. 

So why am I saying that that my plans are reality and not yet facts? Realism is momentary - Fact is history. Today my plans and their probability, as they currently stand are a reality to me, based on my current understanding of a bunch of 'particles' I've observed and interpreted through the analysis of past experience and acquired knowledge. Something might happen tomorrow which will alter today's reality. Comprendes o no? 

I'll let you know when I've converted the above mentioned reality to fact. Until then, Adios!
