Reminds me of my chemisty lecture

No. This article is not funny. It is bad, but the photo CNN is using is amusing. The look the lady in the middle has is nice. 'Caaabin'

A Struggle to be Concise

Okay, so, like I said earlier, I have started reading the Daily Kos. Yesterday, Bush gave a speech that irked me and this post pretty much sums up my feeling on the subject (which I is why I like to read the site). I thought I would share. It seems that fighting abortion is the only way this administration can seem compassionate. It has done nothing good for the majority of the country, even if most of it either does not know it or does not care.

The book that I am reading is forcing my mind to think about current events. Many of the ideas the Victorians struggled with (existence of God, purpose of God, purpose without God) are ideas that many people still struggle with. One of the more interesting points the author makes is that for all extents and purposes the 'clockmaker God' (God as the creator) has died and needed to die for society to continue to advance (i.e. have science). While I do not think that this God is quite dead ('D-E-D, dead') I do agree that it needs to die. The fact that people believe that God is active in this world allows people to avoid active thought and put forth old prejudices as truth. While there can be a god it needs to be more of a paradigm and less of a monarch. Of course, many people want God to give them a purpose and to make them special (i.e. judea/christian tradition states we were created in God's image and that we inherited the Earth). Suck it up. You are an (pseudo-) intellegent ape.

The mouse squeaks

It has been a while. Not sure why I have be avoiding writing outside of, 'I have nothing new to say'. Well, maybe I do, but I have been running around at work with little or no time to goof off (well I do go skating once a week or so). I really do not want to want to talk about work; currently it is a necessary evil.

In its place I do not know what to talk about. I went out with Heidi on Wednesday for pizza and beer after she got home from visiting family and a job interview. I played guitar hero last night while watching the Bruins win. I am reading a very interesting book which I recommend to all (perhaps I'll actually review it!). A while back I wrote a crappy thing in that other weblog, which remains barren. I have started drawing a little bit every week, I am still looking for new jobs, I still feel kind of lost. Some person once said about life (where is my Bartlett's?) that it is not about the destination but about the journey. But this does imply that one should have a destination. But what is a destination?

Goal to be completed by Monday: Write something for the other weblog.

God, I am whinny. I keep thinking that I need to do some soul searching to figure out what I want to do. I am starting to realize that it is not about contemplating doing shit it is about doing shit. Don't think, do. Or at least think less. I cannot advocate not think in any way, there is enough of that already. Has anyone else watched this?

So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. (19:25)

And sayeth he, 'organize thy music according to iTunes'. And so it was done. Er... or at least started. I did not realize that we had collected so much music. I guess that it was in a format that discouraged use (CD), so disuse caused me to forget about it. It looks like I will be spending many a night ripping our CDs.

Then he doth say, 'Woot'. I think I have a plan in my head for the next couple of nights (though wanting to watch the Bruins game may interfere with them). Tonight: go home rip some more CDs, eat, then play hockey. Tomorrow: go to the Coffee shop and write a response to an essay I recently read (or watch hockey). I can understand why the romans spent so much money on the Colosseum. Sports (violent or no) are very distracting. I could spend much of my free time watching or playing sports leaving little time for me to think, read, discussing or doing other things. People could do some pretty shady stuff and I might just be too distracted to notice.

And, 'Though shalt not steal, lie or covet stuff that is not porn'. I randomly followed a link the other day and found this. It seems to share many of the concerns I have for what is going on around us, and it seems to be one of the few places that actually quotes Dean. You would think the news media would be interested in the person who is trying to reform the Democratic Party (you know the one that loosely represents 1/2 of our population). And by reform I mean 'grow a backbone' not 'stop taking bribes/kickbacks', which apparently is a problem among Republicans.

He then concludith, 'for the LORD thy God is a jealous God, and thou shalt not belevith in Evolution'. I saw this in one of Heidi's Science News's. It is always good to see stupidity mocked by in humorously ingenious ways.

Postchen

I am currently interrupting Heidi to make this post so I will make it quick. I know that I suggested that we use that other weblog for creative purposes (besides the defunct pseudo-shakespearean play). I would like to make another suggestion that we, perhaps, make up assignments to force our hands. To halt the, 'that's a good idea we should do that' and replace it with 'look what I wrote! it is shit!'.

Dunny says, 'Meeeow'.
