funny thing happened on the way to the forum
So I am researching my next post (animal cruelty and animal rights activism) and I start chatting with a person who is the typical PETA zealot. It was hilarious in a sad way. The complete and saturated type of ignorance these people are crippled by boggles the mind. I will write it up tonight, but […]
passion without understanding, part I – recycle it again
“Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.” – Prophet Muhammad My life is essentially a collection of experiences and activities guided by a need for information. I like knowing things and more importantly, I like knowing when someone is talking out of their ass. Religion, politics, science… these are all disciplines that people are […]
365 days
I’ve been thinking a lot about the mainland. I have discussed this many times with the Red Queen. I think it is time to move back and perhaps (choke, cough, gasp) get back to working for the man. I will give myself 365 days in which to find a way to avoid the mainland. Through […]
A Guide To Stable Relationships
What do I know about relationships? I know what works for me… will what I do work for you? Probably, but chances are you’re going to do whatever it is you have learned to do and ignore anyone or anything that goes against what you believe to be true. If I am asked, here is […]
negative polarity loses to positive change
If one was to really dig through all the data, and poll all voters, I would imagine an interesting theme might rise up. The major differences between Obama’s campain and McCain’s was simply how negative McCain was and how negative McCain’s supporters were. For the most part, both campaigns based there platforms on change. Obama […]
internet debates: are you a special olympian?
I like to argue with people. Not because I enjoy arguments as such, but because i truly enjoy hearing why people believe what they believe. I can totally disagree with someone on any topic, but I won’t make it personal. I can even change my mind based on a person’s argument, if their evidence is […]
the english patient
I had a post, all nice and spell-checked. Then I read this article and now I need to include this information into what I know about evolution and how it fits with my worldview. I’m not overly concerned with the question of whether or not man has really stopped evolving. Instead, I am more interested […]
the saddest songs are the ones left unsung
If I was going to choose a time in my life where the person I was to become was just starting to surface, I would choose the years between 1979 and 1984. My family moved from Chula Vista, near the border between Mexico and the US, to Northern San Diego, to a place called Poway. […]
vista is crap
Ever used vista, the new Windows OS? It is the most bloated piece of shit I have ever had the misfortune of coming across. I just got my new machine (a Dell XPS) and it comes pre-loaded with that crap. It will take a while to get most of the bloatware removed. Meh… thats the […]
100 (more) Things About Me
The original 100 things can be found here. 100. I have not watched broadcast television (live tv) in three years (not counting charger games at the local bar). 99. From the time I was 5 until I was 38, I could probably count the number of times I have been sick on both hands. 98. […]
