One of the most disappointing things i've ever...
I was having a discussion about hybrid electric cars with someone. He said that he was getting his tax money back and he was thinking of replacing his motor vehicle. The person I’m referring to drives a late eighties pickup truck and uses it for going from point a to point b. I pointed out that gas prices were going up and the prices of older hybrid cars were going down and suggested the...

I just did some handtags and it was awesome. It’s been forever since I did one and if you’ve never experienced it then I will describe it as shooting a load with your “name” all over a door or whatever. It’s really awesome. I also gave away my tv and most of my shit; that too was awesome. Everyone has been asking if I’ve lost the plot and entered eternal...

Lord of Snickers
I was doing homework and I thought I’d share an example of conditioning. The textbook’s definition of Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning is,”learning that occurs when a previously neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.” So let’s put this to use. Let’s say a preacher sees a boy and asks how the kid...

The Demon Haunted World or Some Reasons Explaining...
I’ve been reading a lot lately. School just started but during the break, I’ve managed to read half way through about three books. One of which is Carl Sagan’s “Demon Haunted World”. Before I begin talking about this book, I feel as though I need to give some background information on myself. I can’t say I feel as though I’ve ever believed in any God of...
The first chapter of an idea.
This is the first chapter of a short story that i’m currently editing. I’m thinking of calling it, “The History of a Hypothetical Future”.

The alarm goes off and he starts his off just as he normally does. He gets out of bed and goes to the restroom. In there, he commences his daily morning hygiene routine; uses the toilet, brushes his teeth, then showers. With all that...
"The Reality of Me" →
Apparently the biggest documentary ever made. The beginning is almost like condensed version of a few episodes of cosmos. I haven’t made it too far yet, but it shows a lot of promise. I believe it’s worth checking out. For anyone who ever wondered, or wanted to know as much as they could about everything; this is essentially for them. Or for people who want to just marvel at the...

Absent Facebook Or The Average Workday.
If you may be wondering why I may seem like I have more time and fluidity of thoughts than the current average American, then this should give you some insight on myself. I don’t have a Facebook. There, now you know. You may be wondering “how on Earth do I live without a Facebook?” Well then, if you think that’s weird, then you’re in for a whopper; I also don’t...

About my bicycle.
Well it’s come to my attention, that a big part of my demeanor towards people comes from my bicycle. My bike is not alive but somehow, I could actually say that I live through it. I’m not Alberto Contador in any way but still, my bike helps define me. I currently use my bike for my commute to work, which is roughly seven miles apiece and generally takes me less than half an hour each...

September 29, 2010
September 29, 2010 He has just found out his whole entire life was a lie. There are tears in his eyes because he just cannot believe how easily he’d been fooled, and unaware of this stark reality, for so many years. Deep inside, he knew that there was something wrong, but he just couldn’t place it. What was it? What was it that brought on everything he could think of that made people hurt. Not...

Me and the Bible (just don't get along)
Recently, a co-worker asked me, how I felt about God (you know, the ol’ boy, Gee Wiz?). I replied, that I personally do not believe in such things. She then simply asked, “Why?”. So I let her know, that I thought the Bible was a crock of shit. She then asked, “in what way?”. I said, as Richard Dawkins so eloquently put it in his book The God Delusion, “The God...
For those who do not already know.
If you’ve found this page without knowing me personally, then you may not like what I have to say. If you’re some xenophobic, ignorant, ‘trol then I suggest you find the nearest sand deposit and proceed to plunge your head into it. This page is a place for ME. A place here I can come to be honest, not only with myself but also, the rest of the world. To me, honesty can come in...
