Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
-Fran Lebowitz
I like this quote. Very much so.
I despise small talk. “How’s the weather?” “Fine.”
What do you get from that conversation? Nothing. You learn nothing. Well, you learn that the weather’s fine, but you can figure that out by looking [...]

Holding A Grudge
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments
In my favourite song, The Mariner’s Revenge Song (lyrics [wiki]) by The Decemberists, there is a very long-term grudge held by the narrator, toward the other survivor of the massive whale attack.
He held the grudge for about 18-19 years (adding the months at sea), and is singing the song to the only other survivor of [...]

Evolution: Proved
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments
That’s right, people. This is what you’ve been waiting for - I have proved evolution.
For you ignorant cunts out there, evolution is the theory that we have evolved over time, from monkeys and stuff, ya see??
So, I hve proved this with undeniable proof.
Today, second period, my teacher walks out of the room.
As soon as she [...]

Miracle.
May 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the Earth.
-Chinese Proverb
Too many times I catch myself gazing out into the starts, above the stars, beyond, into the universe and what lays beyond our grasp, beyond our minds, into what is actually out there.
Most people [...]

Nothing To Rant About
May 29th, 2008 · No Comments
I seem to be having a … a peaceful day.
Nothing to rant about.
This is odd.
Other then what I ranted about earlier, of course, but I should have more material to work with here.
Why was my day so great? You tell me. I wouldn’t know.
May have something to do with starting meditation. That really, really calms [...]

Learn To Teach.
May 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Okay. Third period, I have a fat stupid, black whore as a teacher (you can choose to interpret that “black” as racism, but if you’re not an idiot you won’t).
She’s always been stupid, but today… Wow, the show she put on today!
On my way in, I was handed a paper; a friend’s assignment for [...]

Not Existing.
May 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment
One tough thing about not believing in a life after death is trying to conceive what it would be like to be just dead; a corpse in the ground.
Since we’ve not experienced this, we cannot come up with a way that this might feel.
I’ve sat around for hours trying to visualize it, but no matter [...]

Great Beginning.

“What a way to begin, we inherit sin.”
Streetlight Manifesto - Forty Days
Yet another quote from a ska band. I’m beginning to see a pattern here… You see, as music plays a huge role in my life, I find a lot of insight from it. Makes me think about things.
This quote is one of my favourite [...]
Stupid Dermatologist.
May 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Well, I went to the dermatologist today to get my warts treated, and my mother insisted he had a look at my mole (I’ve had it since birth… It’s like, 2 - 2 1/2 inches, on the side of my right leg).
He said okay, and so I dropped trou while he had a look. At [...]

School
May 28th, 2008 · No Comments
Well, off to school, again.
We get off on the 13th, which isn’t too far away but it seems to be taking forever.
I repeat the exact same routine every day at school… It gets old after a while, and there’s the occasional fight or assembly that shakes things up, but other then those I’m pretty much [...]
