| Hey grace. I know you're the only one who reads this, so no point in pretending otherwise, yeah?
Here's a little questionnaire i found. I like it.
1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world? Because resources are not spread out evenly, and natural human desires dictate that there will be "have"s and "have not"s
2. What is the relationship between science and religion? They are both means to describe the world we live in.
3. Why are so many people depressed? Because something, whether it be their own actions, circumstances, obligations, or/and inhibitions prevent them from seeking out what makes them happy.
4. What are we all so afraid of? Change and the unknown
5. When is war justifiable? War is always justifiable. One only needs to find the right reason to justify it with.
6. How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism? Which god? If it's an omni-powerful god, then i doubt it cares. If it isn't omni-powerful, i would imagine that it would want us to respond in kind
7. How does one obtain true peace? By having true equality. Though, that might mean ultimately destroying everyone other than yourself
8. What does it mean to live in the present moment? It means to neither wish for the past, or wait for the future
9. What is our greatest distraction? I'd have to guess.... Complacency
10. Is current religion serving its purpose? I wouldn't know
11. What happens to you after you die? Nothing, as far as i can tell
12. Describe heaven and how to get there. A place of peace and comfort, with no conflict to speak of. A kind of place laborer's can dream of where they can escape their ugly lives. Seems terribly dreadful. Don't know how to get there, and i'm ok with that.
13. What is the meaning of life? None.
14. Describe God. an omnipotent god is probably like nothing i could possibly imagine. Probably not even remotely human-like. I would imagine other kinds of gods being much more human, but with impossible abilities
15. What is the greatest quality humans possess? Humans, or at least some of them, can think objectively and beyond the here and now. They can plan there actions, and predict the effects of those actions with great detail and accuracy. Almost like seeing the future, and shaping it as one see's fit/
16. What is it that prevents people from living to their full potential? They do not think about their potential, and do not see the way to reach it.
17. Noverbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world. "drums on desk, with increasing frequency"
18. What is your one wish for the world? I wish we could all see exactly how we effect everything else, for better or for worse.
19. What is wisdom and how do we gain it? Wisdom is our knowledge of how things tend to work. It is gained through Experience, reflection, and study... in that order
20. Are we all one? I sure as hell hope not.

| 1856 days since I first became aware, first became a part of Xanga.
In the beginning, it was good. Groovy background and music, a few friends of mine joined in and updated occasionally, allowing this humble blog to see tiny bits of the outside world. Things went down hill from there. the updates slowed, and now they merely trickle from a single source. Even the one who filled this blog came less frequently, posts became rarer. I suppose this is the fate for all blogs like myself.
Like the saying goes... old blogs never die, they just fade away...
Sure, there is now a reason I wake up from my slumber, a sole source of outside knowledge leaving their tracks for me to follow, but who knows how long such a thing will last.
This blog's time is running short... it is harder for me to stay awake, easier to stay asleep longer. Sleep is coming.
yawn..

| The hell... this place has been up for almost 4 years now. it's so quiet here.... hello? | | |
| i figure i'll update before bed...
went up with Ellice on saturday to visit her
niece for her birthday. started off sorta badly, with ellice being very
annoyed with her mother, and telling me about it on the way up. i tried
to offer advice that she wouldn't take anyways.
we get up there,
after the game plan has already changed once or twice. instead of
heading off to NJ, we head towards her old place in PA... as we wait
for ellice's mom, we go to sneaky pete's, ellice's old workplace.
ellice chats with her former coworkers. i catch a bit of conversation i
didn't want to hear, got kinda depressed for a while.
after
leaving there, ellice's mom asks her to pick up this obscure indian
dish from a place thats not even open yet. novriton carma... or
something like that. we keep bouncing back and forth, trying to catch
up with her mother, untill we finally get that damned food, and meet up
to head to NJ.
Her mom's new home is pretty nice. sorta in the woods. nice pool.
we
get there, i meet her entire family, more or less. screwed
around/teased siblings. get into a freindly debate/ argument with joel
about how manly he may or may not be. ellice gets pissed, shoo's him
out. we take a while to go to bed.
next day, ellice's mom asks
me to help her with setting up a computer. this task entailed finding
said computer, searching the entirety of the garage for a monitor that
is no longer there, rearranging the garage, sorting it to an extent,
then finally setting up the computer two or three hours later.yeah....
the
comp gets all set up, and Ellice and i head out. the sun in our eyes
made it rather difficult to navigate... that and i couldn't read the
numbers and names on the map, due to the size of everything.
get home in one piece.... after sharing a box of cookies or two.
that's pretty much it.
oh, and i may have to embarrase her brother a good deal next time i see him... that dork.
