Noobs

I came back from Plav, started College, finished some homework, had some fun, and I'm happy. Kind of cool, huh. Oh, I also joined Facebook and started a group for Plav and Gusinje. I've never been so surprised, seeing where these people come from. I was motivated to write this blog only for some more stupid religious thought-wars. Someone started a discussion by saying something along the lines of, "There is no God, religion is a form of mind control and slavery, we are all worthless creatures in the universe." When I saw that I thought, "Sweet, this is me four years ago." But I didn't bother to respond because, I guess, Allah leads whom he wills. What inspired me to blog wasn't the emo's post, rather some quote by another member as a sort of quasi rebuttal to atheism that his grandfather told him: "If there is not a God/heaven, then you gain nothing and I lose nothing. But if there is a God/heaven, then I gain everything and you lose everything." Hamza Malick, I guess he can feel important about it lol, basically told me something like that and that's what changed me because I haven't heard any "logic" arguments of that sort, so I thought to myself, "Well, I better do some serious research before I blindly believe in something I'm not even sure about." More than less, I've gotten my understanding of life today, seemingly entirely by luck, it's kind of frightening. But I suppose, instead of calling it luck I was "led," because that's how I feel.
So...onto something else. College is great, basically for two reasons: 1. My parents are only paying like $4,900 for tuition this semester and 2. My teachers are all amazing. The students there are all right, I don't really know them, but perhaps sooner or later I will. English might become my favorite subject this semester because of the relationship I can have with the teacher, like I can talk to her about anything, but I haven't. I want to write well, I used to think Math would be important in my life, but I'm not too fond of it anymore. I believe someone who can write well will have more... options in this world especially with the the force of globalization. I don't want to be an English major, albeit, I would like to write something like, for example, the description of a facebook's group:

"I already made an anti "Carlos" group, yet as I sat down to view whatever Neal Brennan threw together for the new season of Chappelle's show, I was greeted by Carlos's genial face, commanding me to pay attention for some petty and mean spirited reason that Carlos thought would be humorous. How dare he impose himself on any other part of television that is not his terrible show or the awful promoting for it.

Carlos Mencia is a threat worse than any Cable Guy or modern-day Schneider, his vacuous, pretentious, uber-confident, right wing brand of poorly conceived comedy is atrocious and an affront on all endeavors worthwhile and true. Good comedy is an outlet for the truth, an exposition on society and culture. Carlos stomps all over this idea, and replaces it with a brash ignorance, short sightedness, and constant self-promotion in the vein of the most classic of demagogues. Think of Carlos as the Sean Hannity of comedy. Mind of Mencia( such magnificent alliteration!) will be Carlos’s last stop in career advancement. Him and his kind must be stopped, before our culture is ever awash in complete ignorance and prideful mediocrity.

No wonder David Chappelle could not return to Comedy Central, look what his show spawned."

I suppose all I need to really manage is my vocabulary and practice. I would like to write things, however, that isn't necessarily always about hating someone. I'd prefer to write nice things, but also be able to provide arguments with wit and substance.

So, what have I learned? Atheism is on the rise, just he said there would be. Listening to my retarded uncle talk about God is disturbing, he's still like a child. I'm afraid of the future, America is headed, like the Titanic, full speed towards an ice berg. And I think it might simply be inevitable, whether anyone would like to believe it or not. Life "has" to be terrible in the future, and it sure looks like it will. Why? Hey, if those "fables" are true, Judgement Day is coming and it's going to suck.

I miss the simple life of Plav, I should seriously move there. Except, I would have to figure out how to get a ton of money. Stocks are nice, but I would need a K.M.A.(kiss my) account too, in-case something goes wrong.

I think I'm going to some crazy Alex Jones, Immortal Technique, speaking or whatever tomorrow. I want to see Tech, since I missed him last time at Fordham. Hey, I like to think. I've known about their ideas for a while, before it really got popular. I'm kind of glad I introduced my friend to the ideas too and enlightened him, if that's appropriate. He used to be just another republican until I showed him what I had found on the internet. I have to thank whoever that guy was on the TermPro car audio forums for startin the topic on Badnarik because without him I'd still be mindless. The oppurtunity cost would have been too great for me, but I'm glad I made the right choice. This blog is way too long. I love life, Plav, and my "dark secrets." It's just a quote, they're not actually "dark," it's simply an inside joke. Noobs.
