"Pull out of Iraq" is the talk right now of the press. Bush says if they do give us a timeline on when to pull out, the terrorists will just wait until then and then re-claim everything like in Vietnam. I know there are a few terrorists in this world, but after doing my own research it's made that number so much smaller. The event known as the 'airlift of evil'(you can Google it) is simple. 'The United States took the unprecedented step this week of demanding that foreign airlines provide information on passengers boarding planes for America. Yet in the past week, a half dozen or more Pakistani air force cargo planes landed in the Taliban-held city of Kunduz and evacuated to Pakistan hundreds of non-Afghan soldiers who fought alongside the Taliban and even al-Qaida against the United States.' What am I trying to say? Most of the people you hate are paid by the money you send to the IRS. So when people say drug dealing supports terrorism, I say "so does paying taxes."
Oh, and another note about drugs. After we took over Afghanistan isn't it interesting that Opium growing has skyrocketed? What's also funny is how Afghanistan manages to grow more than 80 percent of the worlds supply. If drug dealers only sell drugs and get caught, why aren't the guys making the most money growing them caught? Or why isn't there a sort-of War on Drugs over there? Oh that's right, I'm sure the government regulates it in one way or another. Check out the lyrics from the song Peruvian Cocaine
I talk about this stuff so often now it's unbelievable; and to think this is "America: Land of the Free." Well, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." I feel so obligated to do something about this all, but it sucks feeling like I have no power even though in a real America I should. Wherever there's "sovereign individuals" there's peace, that's the truth.
Now there's the London bombings, and as usual with terrorist events, you'll see many contradictions. Why? Sadly enough it had to be set-up too. Enough with the truth, the public hates it and I hate the public for that. They're too busy drinking and smoking their minds to a pulp, let them have it. Besides the public when people say this quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." and think they're special because they read books, that's not much more different. Unless you really know what's happening in the world, you're not part of that small group of thoughtful citizens. If that's too harsh, it has to be because everything you know and all the work you've done could be in vain. Why does it seem that where Truth should be, propaganda and lies are filled to the brim? It's like Truth is in the muddy waters on roadsides that cars run over and spray pedestrians. What's the reaction when the average joe/sally is on the recieving end? "Get it off of me!" I think truth isn't something that's exactly hated though like that quote may seem. People sometimes "just don't know" like me. If you're born tabula rasa it's probably going to be hard for everyone to find what I have Our lifestyles are different, and that has to be the main contribution to ignorance: Some people just don't care. In the end as I read over this rambling on, I might as well stay informed but stay to myself. I've been thinking about writing my own poems and songs of sorts because it would be a nice change, trying to be creative is something people have been doing since the beginning. The problem I have is with my vocabulary, I hate being able to understand a lot of words but not being able to converse with them. The solution is: Learning through synonyms. That's the easiest way, so I should start sometime soon.

Jefferson was right.
"That government is best which governs least." Some people say it's misattributed, but that's not important. "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases." History is the the only "Google" you need to figure out what may happen in the future or in our case: what's happening now.
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." That's for you Rosie O' Donnell and all of those Hitler-esque gun-control psychos. No, I don't think she's insane like Hitler at all. I think She's confused like the majority of uneducated Americans. Now am I educated? That I can't answer, I don't have the arrogance to yell yes nor the humbleness to say no, but what really is education? A high school graduate degree, or a Ph.D? One has a general knowledge of all things while the latter is extensive knowledge in one or few things. I don't have the extensiveness yet, but I feel like both certificates reside beside me and more.
Anyways here's another one: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies…if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent that their fathers conquered.” The Federal Reserve is not affiliated with the government, check out the blue pages--it's not there. I feel hopeless, the only thing I can do is sigh knowing these things and feel even worse feeling like I can't do anything about it. There is hope and the only test is time, no one's ever beat it and nothing ever will(even the Universe the only thing that can is God). Power is temporary: "What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure." Power corrupts, so I hope we follow Jefferson's schematic instead of Hamilton's next time around and see what we we should have been. The men in power of our country today do not reside in the White House anymore, God help us. "On matters of principle, stand like a rock."

There's so much to say, this post will probably be unorganized the way all of the others have been. First of all, I've discovered this new artist and he's great. His name's Immortal Technique and is already my favorite rapper. Why? He speaks what I think is the truth," Cause opening your mouth to question my validity Is like trying to contradict the theory of relativity." I don't know how to prove it to you, I've been reading a lot and have changed my thoughts on many things. The thoughts I've switched to are the thoughts Immortal Technique also believes in. People say he's a super weird eery conspiracy theorist, but that's bullshit. Having seen a video in slow motion of WTC going down, what more evidence do you need? Well, there's also the firefighters that are still alive today who have all said they believe bombs were in the building. Now they have shutup, it's sad to see what the government can do. Hell even Silverstein(the guy who bought the entire WTC complex) bought out a huge insurance plan before 9/11 on all of the buildings. He also said in an interview that they had to "pull" building seven, meaning implode, meaning everything you've heard is bogus. Buildings like the WTC don't fall down from "being on fire," it doesn't work like that. It takes weeks to set up the bombs in a building and Silverstein says it like it takes a few hours, but it doesn't. There was a photo taken one second into Building seven's collapse, in the middle of the building there was a "crimp." If we look at other controlled demolitions we see that they first blow the central columns so the building falls in on itself. If you don't do that, the building falls outward and has a wider collapse radius and damage other buildings. In building seven, a controlled demolition was the case. No airplane hit it, the fires weren't very strong it was basically fine. What was in there? Information, just like the Murrah Federal Building which stored stuff on Waco. Building Seven was also like that, it was practically a command center for the whole operation and had the information. Silverstein owned only Building seven but two months before the attacks, he bought out the whole complex and took out a record insurance policy on it. Even worse is the seismographs, the bombings of Towers 1 and 2 registered 2.1 and 2.3 with the "classical pattern of a controlled demolition." Basically 9/11 is a huge coverup and it's bull. Immortal Technique, in one of his more recent songs says, "Bush knocked down the towers." I don't know if Bush did this or not, but I do know someone or few people did and I still can't believe it.
It's late, there are the facts I've harvested from Alex Jones' 9/11- Rise of the Police State.

Money
Murray N. Rothbard
"Since 1980,the Fed has enjoyed the absolute power to do literally anything it wants: to buy not only U.S. government securities, but any asset whatever, to buy as many assets, and to inflate credit as much as it pleases.There are no restraints on the Federal Reserve. The Fed is master of all it controls."
Currency backed by Gold is better than the current system, that's the truth. I just watched some film about The Federal Reserve, and it's true. The only reason we have our system is when we are in war. Presidents have called upon TFR and use it to print out extra funds instead of increasing taxation. A system with Gold is stable and any American can put their trust in there. If we follow this system we're currently in, our future is dependent on one special person. The government that uses a Central Bank takes another step on the road to absolute or great power. Therefore, in order to limit the power of our government, it's necessary to impose a different non-central bank. Thomas Jefferson was against a Central Bank because a smaller government is better. He was right, because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's why I'm basically a Libertarian/Constitutionalist, the government is supposed to be very limited. Our administration has figured out how to dismantle the Constitution and Bill of Rights by using a simple scapegoat, terrorism. The funny thing is, they're the terrorists. All major "terrorist" events were done by the government, not only ours. 9/11, Madrid, London, Bali, it's sick... Their attempts to cover up is so transparent and pathetic, they are a bunch of lunatics. The Patriot Act passes without even having Congress vote on it, and it's disgusting. They've taken away so many rights away from us even if you don't recognize it. There are no terrorists, there is no Al-Qaida, unless you think of it as "Al-CIA'da" because it's their invention. The CIA uses whenever they want to do something. Damnit, this shouldn't be happenning. I wonder, how could we fix it? There's one way, the easy and dangerous way, but I don't know if the effects would be good or bad. That way is to assassinate these top leaders, but who would do that? All the criminals are making money and no one would want to do that. Exposing the truth is tough to do, especially with the controlled media. I wish there was some way we could regain the media, that would be the best way and probably the only other way. Why would it be the only other way? Because the last way would have to be having control over the judicial system, which they already have. We just need to learn how to say "no" to the government, they set up this illusion that they have power and if you do say no they'll hurt you. We should also educate the police all of these things, since they have to be the most misinformed to be protecting these assholes. The sad thing is, the only truth anyone can find is not on the TV or newspaper, rather, it's on the internet. Thank God for the 'net because without it, who knows what would become of this world? Damn how did I go from money to this? Anyways, I just hope the transition was good. I really have this deep yearning to become a politician to help change our course, and marry this other girl who wants to be a politician to set up some sort of double threat. Kinda crazy? I don't know, I wish sometimes there was a crystal ball that would show me. Perhaps there isn't a set future so there isn't really destiny, but then again there is the Qu'ran which provides us with a list of events to occur before The Last Day. Major Bloodshed is on the list and looking back at the past 100 years there has been an enormous amount of it, I really hope this New World Order doesn't workout but then again it probably will. One of the other signs of the last day is Jesus' second coming and when he comes back, there will be a collapse of all society. Now if I can deduce my own idea from those last 5 words, I think society will have to become terrible if it just collapses because Jesus will return when there is terrible longing for him. Half-life 2 may seem like it's far, but just like "1984" I don't think it's that far away. I really pray and hope he comes soon, torture is terrible and the media is now saying "oh it's not so bad." What bullshit, evil is disgusting but apparently it may be inevitable. I'm going to post before my computer restarts, good night.

All Falls Down
I'm already half-way done with Candide, I checked it out of the library today. Not a very long story but a very interesting one. So I'll be done with it tomorrow and I'll keep reading after that. This conspiracy theory site about the government and everything is damn crazy. I'd be surprised, but not That surprised if America actually became the next great dictatorship like Nazi Germany. It would obviously be a bit different than 50 years ago but still have many common things. The warfare used will be mostly psychological because the media owns countless souls and the elite will constantly keep everyone fearing. I'll just keep my eyes open and mouth closed and point my finger hoping the real culprits get blamed. Conspiracy theory is not really my kind of thing so I'll leave it up to guys like Alex Jones, to keep fighting his good fight. After seeing the video of the Twin Towers going down in slow motion, and seeing what looks like bombs exploding as the cloud of dust from the building heading south, I can't believe the towers fell because "they were on fire." The film 9/11 Rise of the Police State showed its evidence, and it's crucial. I say you download or support him by buying it and see for yourself. Basically, it says there were bombs planted in all 3 big buildings: 1, 2, and 7. Hell, Silverstein even admits he "pulled" building 7(meaning implode) so it wasn't by a fire you could see by the way it fell down, the center blew first so the building fell in a tidy rubble pile. The same thing happened in towers 1 and 2, they planted explosives all over the buildings. There's just so many signs. I thank God as well, for basically helping shoot down Flight 93 which was on it's way to the Capital. It probably was going for the White House so Bush could have called for total Martial Law, but since they screwed up and God foiled their plans, they've got a lot to cover up. Don't worry though, there will be another attempt at Martial Law, I'm sick of this. "Al-CIAda," and everything. I'm just dissapointed with the world, you know? I thought these "adults" would be a bit more "mature." They've got control of all the funds with communist things like the Central Bank, it's insane. Now there's gun control, and dumbass moms like Rosie O'Donnell who adamantly support gun control, just like Hitler and these other murderers. I just hope if America falls, that we follow the Constitution the way it was meant to be, with presidential candidates like Badnarik to guide us with his knowledge.
It's already 3:30 I'm going to sleep, later.
A slogan I've seen on the internet:
"Mass Murderers Agree: Gun Control Works!"(Referring to Hitler, Stalin, MaoTse Tung, and even here in America where our 2nd Amendment is trampled on.)

Loose Change
http://propagandamatrix.com/articles/july2005/060705controlleddemolition.htm
"On The Record: The Controlled Demolition Of The WTC"
It's part of a documentary named Loose Change, and it's scary as hell. I think this is the most profound clip you could watch that would change your opinion on 9/11. It basically says that the WTC was bombed not only by airplanes, but with supplementary charges throughout the building. The film talks about how strong the steel was, even if the airplane hit the buildings without the charges it wouldn't have fallen or melted. The problem though is, when you watch the video, there are slow motion scenes which show charges blowing up as the building heads on its eternally nostalgic trip South. It also interviews firemen and they say they heard many other explosions other than the impact. It was was pulled off professionally, like imploding broken down Casino's when someone wants to build a new one. You need to watch it, this is the kind of stuff news channels wouldn't show in a 1000 years, or until America crumbles. Power is temporary, I hope America doesn't prematurely "end" at all. The Constitution was well written but has been loosely interpreted, which shouldn't have happened. After all of these years of loose interpretations, the government has powers that it shouldn't have in the first place. After hundreds of years of these interpretations here we are: Screwed and on the verge of death-- hey maybe that's being planned too? The government's supposed to be controlled by the people, not the other way around. It's sad to see it become the way it is, but that's corruption for you.
I'm even reading things that say there's no such thing as "al-Qaeda." I hate to think of myself as a deep conspiracy theorist because I've read other stuff before and it's total bullshit. I'll be done reading stuff soon, I hate getting "too into it" with these things. Since I don't really want to be a full-time conspiracy theorist I praise the people who do it with hopes of showing the "real truth" to the public and succeed. If only we had more "Deepthroats" that would snitch. Rap songs really have a low regard for snitching, but in today's government it would be damn good. I guess for their gangs snitching is bad, but I'd like to see it in the government. If not that, at least have the Libertarians win more political spots to show the public the way it's supposed to be. Then we can rise up and put the government in the positition it's supposed to be by serving us, not the other way around.
I've only got one question for Libertarian's since I don't really know the answer: If we can speak freely and say whatever we want, what happens to sexual harassment and other "speaking limits"?
A lot of things have been happening, back to reading though. I'm going for Voltaire's Candide now, I should get it at the library tomorrow. After that I don't know maybe I'll finally finish the Divine Comedy or something. Who knows? I'll just choose whatever is available. I'm going to bed, peace.

London
Wow, these bombings in London are a scary sight. What's even scarier is this link: http://www.thesimon.com/magazine/articles/canon_fodder/0889_what_behind_london_attacks.html
Wow man, who would have thought? Our governments do this dirty work and hurt their own people and say "terrorists" did it. It's all a front for war, the article says Islamic radicals have no reason to attack England. They've already agreed to pull out their troops and that's good. With this guise of Islamic terrorism in London I hope people don't fall for it and have a blind hatred like we did after September 11th. Read the article and think about it, I can't f'ing believe that the government would do that. I guess this is the way God orchestrated it all to be if we're on a set path. It's all so interesting, I will love every moment when our government's corruption crumbles. God damn, it's so sad to see these kinds of people in power. There's this sense of rightousness in my heart to go out and become the president and end all of this, is that what I was destined to do? I'm unsure, but I have this feeling that I can make a difference. Or can I? It would be fun to see the world crumble, but then again it wouldn't be. I love this country and its history too much to see it crumble. My heart's been set on fire with a passion for Liberty, what do I do? That would be scary, to see myself up there trying to be a goody two-shoes. It's a responsibility and there are so few good people in the government. Is there such thing as destiny? Damn, I can actually see myself trying to be like that, helping people out and keeping out corruption. What's sad is, moments after I can see myself also being killed by those who are corrupt. It's a good reason to think twice about it and ask myself is it really for me? I've always said that I want to be remembered in history, ever since I was small. So should I? It's not instantaneous but Damn it's a scary thought. Questions, questions... I'll just keep myself occupied with books before I make that decision, good night.

Damn, I can actually see myself trying to be like that, helping people out and keeping out corruption. What's sad is, moments after I can see myself also being killed by those who are corrupt. It's a good reason to think twice about it and ask myself is it really for me? I've always said that I want to be remembered in history, ever since I was small. So should I? It's not instantaneous but Damn it's a scary thought. Questions, questions... I'll just keep myself occupied with books before I make that decision, good night.

The Communist Manifesto
Only a few minutes after my last post, but I had to finish this post before I would forget about it because: Don't do something tomorrow if you know it can be done today. This is going to be taken from Badnarik's book so I hope he doesn't mind(but it's copyrighted, so he will.) Anyways, I'll take it from the book:
"Do you recall the John Adams quote concerning property? It is: "The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."
Clearly, if communists intend to abolish private property, they do not consider it "as sacred as the law of God." Without property, you have no rights. That is why communism is evil. A closer examination shows that the first plank describes what communism intends to do, and planks two through ten describe how they intend to do it.
Let's take a brief look at each plank. As you read, keep track of how many of these policies already exist in the United States. Keep a tally on a seperate sheet of paper, or put a check mark along side each paragraph that describes an agency or policy here in the land of the free.
The Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of private property
America's war on drugs has prompted government agencies to establish asset forfeiture laws which allow the arresting agency to take all of the property belonging to someone suspected of being involved with drugs. Frequently, the arresting agency is acting on an anonymous phone call. The property is then sold at auction for a fraction of a cost, and the arresting agency keeps the money.
Whenever our government invokes eminent domain to take someone's property, they are demonstrating their lack of respect for private property, and acting just like any other communist regime.
2. Heavy progessive income tax
A progessive income tax means the mor emoney you make, the higher your percentage of tax. In the United States the IRS determines the perecentage of our progessive income tax. Those percentages are included as a table with the instructions with your 1040 form. If you make enough money, you may be lucky enough to fall in the 50 percent tax bracket. The strongest slaves are lucky enough to carry the heaviest rocks.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance
If your parents die without a will, the government may take half of everything your parents owned before you and your siblings are allowed to divide what's left. Even with a will the government can take a percentage. This prevents future generations within a family from accumulating a significant amount of wealth. What justifies this tax on dying?
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels
Anyone who travels internationally must declare whether he or she is carrying more than $10,000 in money, stocks, or bank notes. Friends of mine who intend to relocate to New Zealand have been told they cannot take their money with them.
5. Central bank
The Federal Reserve Bank is a private company and not a part of the American government any more than Federal Express is a part of the U.S. Post Office. You can prove this for yourself by searching the blue government pages in the phone book. When you fail to find it there, try looking in the white business pages. When you control the printing of money, it doesn't matter who controls the government. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is completely, totally, and unquestionably unconstitutional.
6. Government control of communication and transportation
The Federal Communications Commission controls all radio and television signals in the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety Board, and every state department of transportation and motor vehicles control every aspect of transportation in this country. You cannot travel, ship, or broadcast anywhere in the United States without getting government approval.
7. Government ownership of factories and agriculture
Government doesn't actually own factories, but it also has no business bailing out Chrysler and savings and loan associations when they get into financial trouble. The recent collapses of Enron and WorlCom have suggested innapropriate connections with the government. The U.S. Department of Agriculture controls and regulates nearly every aspect of the food chain, from farm to table.
8. Government control of labor
Innumerable government agencies within the United States regulate nearly every facet of every kind of business. Although there is no formal government agency that directly controls unions, they are strongly influenced by federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA).
9. Coroporate farms, regional planning
In the not-too-distant past, most farms were owned by small families. Now they are owned by large corporations and merely leased to the original tenants.
Every large city in the United States has a regional planning office. Austin, Texas, has a Planning and Design Office, a Planning/Enviornmental and Conservation Services Department, and a Planning and Economic Development office. Check your phone book to find similar agencies where you live.
10. Government control of education
There is no point arguing wheter or not the government controls education in this country. The Democrats and Republicans are falling all over themselves to be the ones who control it best.
When the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare(HEW) was established in 1953, American students ranked number one the world in the fields of math and science. Students from every other country were eager to come to the United States to get a good education. Eventually the Department of Education became a seperate entity, but as of 2003 this country has experienced fifty years of government control of schools.
Statistics now rank American students as twenty-first in math and science. Our schools are now filled with children who can't read or write, and we spend ten times as much per sutdent as we did in 1953. Even if the Department of Education was constitutional, which it is not, it should still be eliminated for doing such a terrible job.
So what was your total? Eight? Nine? Ten? I have always held that if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is probably a duck, regardless what the crowd around me is calling it. If the United States is already practicing all ten of these communist principles, then we must be living in a communist country. Does that give you a warm, cozy feeling inside, or are you suddenly concerned about the people in Washington who have promised to protect your rights?"
Amazing book you really should buy it, Good to be King by Michael Badnarik. If you can't do that and you have a high-speed connection then you can just download his Constitution Class, which is basically the same thing at: http://www.archive.org/details/Michael_Badnarik. This is the kind of stuff you don't learn in our governmentally controlled schools, good job Gov' keep it up!...

Guises and Sizes
"The earth's a prison--one can't get away
From it, whatever clothes one wears.
I'm still too young to lack desires,
Not young enough now for mere play.
What satisfaction can life hold?
Do without, do without! That old
Command pursues us down the years
Endlessly echoing in our ears--
The same old hoarse repeated song
Heard hour by hour our whole life long!
With each new dawn I wake aghast,
My eyes with bitter tears are filled
To think that when this day has passed
I'll not have had one single wish fulfilled,
That even my presentiments of joy
Will die of nagging scruples, and life's mess
Of trivial impediments destroy
My active soul's creativeness.
When the night falls, I seek my bed
With anxious fears, with many a sigh,
But find no peace: with sights of dread
Wild dreams torment me as I lie.
And though a god lives in my heart,
Though all my powers waken at his word,
Though he can move every inmost part--
Yet nothing in the outer world is stirred.
Thus by existence tortured and opressed
I crave for death, I long for rest."
Faust
I've finished my second book, Faust, and still crave for more. A damn good book, but what do you expect when the author took 30 years to write it? I put this quote here for a sort of feeling I have, the same feeling Faust had in that verse. It's probably wrong but I just feel I'll never be able to affect the world in any way that I've thought before, people just don't care. Whatever.
I've been thinking recently and want to show all an observation I've made. It's funny when people talk about making peace and love with each other, give out aid, be selfless, when there's mass approval or liking of songs and other things that involve killing others, selling drugs, raping women, pimp-slapping hoes, and whatever else fits here. Do people really believe the things they're saying? It's weird, but I'm like that and I don't. It's all an illusion to strike fear into other men's hearts, and for rappers to make an insane amount of cash. People are so bent on making sure they look intimidating and act violently. When I see a bunch of guys in a car looking at me while listening to loud rap music, I do feel a bit different. But what's the point? I'm sure those people are just like anyone else and love to have fun, drink, and revel like it's their last day alive. It's dumb, when people look scared you're self-esteem rises and it's like a cycle until you hit the climax of a brawl. Why does there have to be this violence and motley species of pompous assholes? Have fun, be friends with everyone and let everyone else do the same. I can visualize a place in my minds eye where we could drop our Lord of the Flies type of guise and be real. It'll take a lot of change in today's train of thought so it's bound to take a very long time, or something like Jesus' second coming...
My next book is in the library and I'll probably go tomorrow if I'm compelled enough, there's a quote from Faust that I can't find but I remember had something to do about that. It was like "If you at least take a few steps, you'll be compelled to complete the rest." I've done it to myself and proven it true. When you're done with a book, there's a really nice sense of accomplishment. When I read the last line and close the book, I take a look at it from the side and gaze wearily at the sublime feat accomplished. Instead of writhing like a worm and giving up and out, you build and "workout" your mind, just like you would the fiber cells of a bicep and grow to grand heights. If you stop "working out", both mind and a muscle can be bogged and dispersed. That's why a routine is the only thing it takes. Some people think you can take some pills, get huge, and stay that way without any real work. No it's a plan, not even that, it's a lifestyle. Understand that and you'll be successful at whatever you want. That's a great thing about being human, they have this ability to be good at anything all you need is the will. So basically you could carve a baby into anything you want, pro athlete, intellectual, saint, whatever. If they have the will it's almost a done deal. My will now is to read more and incorporate it into my lifestyle. Soon I'll also be doing that with weight lifting and my life will be a bit different, but for the better. I hate how the curse of laziness can affect a man's body, so I'll start out the way Goethe told me to: with one step.

Back to school
School's out and I've already begun reading. I finished reading Badnarik's Good To Be King after I got it yesterday. I only need to memorize the Bill of Rights and I should be done with that. It's almost 11:50 and I'm going to start reading Faust soon until 2 am, or should I? I don't know, it's hard. I thought reading would take more time but I'm surprised and it means something good: I'll probably be reading more than I expected. It's going to be interesting to see how effectively I can teach myself. I definitely need to enlarge my vocabulary, there's no worse feeling for me than not knowing how to express the way I feel. The end result I'm hoping to achieve is to, I guess, write better because that's all that really matters. I love writing, while I'm at it, I love everything. I have a natural sense of curiousity and I have a part of me that is attracted to knowledge, whatever it may be. Hard sciences, mathematics, religion, writing, every damn thing. In a few moments, the hands will strike at 12. Well that's my time. I'm going to leave you with this: "Even if the Department of Education was constitutional, which it isn't, it should be eliminated based on it's inefficiency." -- Michael Badnarik

To: Paul
Here is a little reply to his comment on one of my previous articles: ""Absolutely no evidence in support of creationism? How would he know..."
So, present some. Evidence, I mean. You know, in favour of creationism. Just one piece. "
So here's some evidence "you know, in favour of creationism" Just it's not going to be one piece:
-The fact that they haven't found any "missing links". In short, the fossil record shows that living species emerged suddenly and perfectly formed, not by following a process from primitive forms to advanced ones as evolution claims.
-Probably the biggest hit: The CHANCE of even the SIMPLEST PROTEIN or CELL being formed is about 10 to the 950th power. If you don't understand let me put it in perspective: That's the same thing as finding a winning lottery ticket on the floor! Everyday, for 1000 years!!! That's just for the most simple building block of a being, so look at the numbers and think how much more impossible it is to create the great human being "by chance."
-The fact that they've found fossils of insects like ants and other species that are still the exact same as today's species.
-If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
-It is obvious that mutations are solely a destructive mechanism. Pierre-Paul Grassé, former president of the French Academy of Sciences, is quite clear on this point in a comment he made about mutations. Grassé compared mutations to "making mistakes in the letters when copying a written text." And as with mutations, letter mistakes cannot give rise to any information, but merely damage such information as already exists. Grassé explained this fact in this way:
Mutations, in time, occur incoherently. They are not complementary to one another, nor are they cumulative in successive generations toward a given direction. They modify what preexists, but they do so in disorder, no matter how…. As soon as some disorder, even slight, appears in an organized being, sickness, then death follow. There is no possible compromise between the phenomenon of life and anarchy.24
So for that reason, as Grassé puts it, "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution."So for that reason, as Grassé puts it, "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution. 24 Pierre-Paul Grassé, Evolution of Living Organisms, Academic Press, New York, 1977, p. 97, 98
-As we have seen, mutations are harmful to living things and no example of a beneficial mutation has ever been observed. The examples put forward by evolutionists as "beneficial mutations" all actually consist of distortions. In none of these examples have the benefits necessary for the evolution of an organism-that is, an increase in genetic information-ever come about. Let us now examine why the instances of "beneficial mutations" put forward by evolutionists are not actually useful at all, and cannot lead to evolution.
Sickle-Cell Anemia:
The only instance evolutionary biologists give of "useful mutation" is the disease known as sickle cell anemia. In this, the hemoglobin molecule, which serves to carry oxygen in the blood, is damaged as a result of mutation, and undergoes a structural change. As a result of this, the hemoglobin molecule's ability to carry oxygen is seriously impaired. People with sickle cell anemia suffer increasing respiratory difficulties for this reason. However, this example of mutation, which is discussed under blood disorders in medical textbooks, is strangely evaluated by some evolutionary biologists as a "useful mutation."
They say that the partial immunity to malaria by those with the illness is a "gift" of evolution. Using the same logic, one could say that, since people born with genetic leg paralysis are unable to walk and so are saved from being killed in traffic accidents, therefore genetic leg paralysis is a "useful genetic feature." This logic is clearly totally unfounded.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics:
Another example of evolutionists' "beneficial mutations" is the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. Like all the other examples, this one, too, is a deception. It is no secret that bacteria gradually develop a resistance to antibiotics over time. What happens is this: Most bacteria subjected to an antibiotic die, but some remain unaffected by it, and multiplying rapidly they come to comprise the entire population. In this way, the entire population comes to be immune to the antibiotic.
Evolutionists, however, claim that bacteria evolve according to the conditions in which they find themselves. The truth is, however, rather different. The Israeli biophysicist Professor Lee Spetner is one of the figures who have carried out the most detailed studies in this area. Professor Spetner explains how this resistance comes about by means of two separate mechanisms, neither of which makes any contribution to evolution. The two mechanisms in question are:
1) The transmission of already existing immunity genes in the bacteria and
2) The building of resistance as a result of losing genetic data because of mutation.
The first mechanism is no evidence for evolution:
In a 2001 article Professor Spetner describes the first mechanism in this way:
Some microorganisms are endowed with genes that grant resistance to these antibiotics. This resistance can take the form of degrading the antibiotic molecule or of ejecting it from the cell... [T]he organisms having these genes can transfer them to other bacteria making them resistant as well. Although the resistance mechanisms are specific to a particular antibiotic, most pathogenic bacteria have... succeeded in accumulating several sets of genes granting them resistance to a variety of antibiotics.12
This is no proof of evolution, as Professor Spetner describes:
The acquisition of antibiotic resistance in this manner... is not the kind that can serve as a prototype for the mutations needed to account for Evolution… The genetic changes that could illustrate the theory must not only add information to the bacterium's genome, they must add new information to the biocosm. The horizontal transfer of genes only spreads around genes that are already in some species.13
In other words, there is no evolution here because no new genetic information appears. All that happens is that genetic information that already exists is transferred among bacteria.
There is no instance of a mutation that "improves genetic information," and the immunity mechanisms in bacteria do not represent evidence for the theory of evolution. The basic process in evolution is just not possible.
-All mutations have proved to be harmful. The evolutionist scientist Warren Weaver comments on the report prepared by the Committee on Genetic Effects of Atomic Radiation, which had been formed to investigate mutations that might have been caused by the nuclear weapons used in the Second World War:
Many will be puzzled about the statement that practically all known mutant genes are harmful. For mutations are a necessary part of the process of evolution. How can a good effect-evolution to higher forms of life-result from mutations practically all of which are harmful?20
-Every effort put into "generating a useful mutation" has resulted in failure. For decades, evolutionists carried out many experiments to produce mutations in fruit flies, as these insects reproduce very rapidly and so mutations would show up quickly. Generation upon generation of these flies were mutated, yet no useful mutation was ever observed. The evolutionist geneticist Gordon Taylor writes thus:
It is a striking, but not much mentioned fact that, though geneticists have been breeding fruit-flies for sixty years or more in labs all round the world- flies which produce a new generation every eleven days-they have never yet seen the emergence of a new species or even a new enzyme.21
-
The same holds true for man. All mutations that have been observed in human beings have had deleterious results. All mutations that take place in humans result in physical deformities, in infirmities such as mongolism, Down syndrome, albinism, dwarfism or cancer. Needless to say, a process that leaves people disabled or sick cannot be "an evolutionary mechanism"-evolution is supposed to produce forms that are better fitted to survive.
-A great problem for the theory of evolution by natural selection, is that it cannot enable new organs or traits to emerge in living things. Natural selection cannot develop a species' genetic data; therefore, it cannot be used to account for the emergence of new species. The greatest defender of the theory of punctuated equilibrium, Stephen Jay Gould, refers to this impasse of natural selection as follows;
The essence of Darwinism lies in a single phrase: natural selection is the creative force of evolutionary change. No one denies that selection will play a negative role in eliminating the unfit. Darwinian theories require that it create the fit as well.17
Another of the misleading methods that evolutionists employ on the issue of natural selection is their effort to present this mechanism as an intelligent designer. However,natural selection has no intelligence. It does not possess a will that can decide what is good and what is bad for living things. As a result, natural selection cannot explain biological systems and organs that possess the feature of "irreducible complexity". These systems and organs are composed of a great number of parts cooperating together, and are of no use if even one of these parts is missing or defective. (For example, the human eye does not function unless it exists with all its components intact).
Therefore, the will that brings all these parts together should be able to foresee the future and aim directly at the advantage that is to be acquired at the final stage. Since natural selection has no consciousness or will, it can do no such thing. This fact, which demolishes the foundations of the theory of evolution, also worried Darwin, who wrote: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
-Here is a small list of methods Darwinists use to persuade people to their side. I'll bet you've fallen to them by one of these methods namely, the second one:
Method # 1. They depict evolutionist scientists as very learned, superhuman individuals

-In the end after some evidence is presented and people still don't want to believe it is because they are bigots. There is a chance they have a great skepticism for God as well, I wouldn't blame them
because I also don't like the Bible. It's been revised so many times by different sects that the actual meaning is distorted and the book has many inconsistencies. I don't mind if anyone is a Catholic or
what not, but I believe the Qu'ran is the most consistent piece of writing people should read. The problem is, they don't because they feel weird thinking about Arabs and have probably been
taught their whole life not to believe our "nonsense." I say, read what I have and learn. Ask what you want, but if you still don't believe what I say, I'll just say "so be it" and leave you alone.
I just say that because in the Qu'ran it says that you can't convert all people, if he really wanted everyone to believe in Him he would have. That's why this life is just a "test" I hope for your sake
you believe what I have to say. Life is too complex and beautiful in every way to be here by chance. So for any questions, go ahead and ask away.
So, present some. Evidence, I mean. You know, in favour of creationism. Just one piece. "
So here's some evidence "you know, in favour of creationism" Just it's not going to be one piece:
-The fact that they haven't found any "missing links". In short, the fossil record shows that living species emerged suddenly and perfectly formed, not by following a process from primitive forms to advanced ones as evolution claims.
-Probably the biggest hit: The CHANCE of even the SIMPLEST PROTEIN or CELL being formed is about 10 to the 950th power. If you don't understand let me put it in perspective: That's the same thing as finding a winning lottery ticket on the floor! Everyday, for 1000 years!!! That's just for the most simple building block of a being, so look at the numbers and think how much more impossible it is to create the great human being "by chance."
-The fact that they've found fossils of insects like ants and other species that are still the exact same as today's species.
-If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
-It is obvious that mutations are solely a destructive mechanism. Pierre-Paul Grassé, former president of the French Academy of Sciences, is quite clear on this point in a comment he made about mutations. Grassé compared mutations to "making mistakes in the letters when copying a written text." And as with mutations, letter mistakes cannot give rise to any information, but merely damage such information as already exists. Grassé explained this fact in this way:
Mutations, in time, occur incoherently. They are not complementary to one another, nor are they cumulative in successive generations toward a given direction. They modify what preexists, but they do so in disorder, no matter how…. As soon as some disorder, even slight, appears in an organized being, sickness, then death follow. There is no possible compromise between the phenomenon of life and anarchy.24
So for that reason, as Grassé puts it, "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution."So for that reason, as Grassé puts it, "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution. 24 Pierre-Paul Grassé, Evolution of Living Organisms, Academic Press, New York, 1977, p. 97, 98
-As we have seen, mutations are harmful to living things and no example of a beneficial mutation has ever been observed. The examples put forward by evolutionists as "beneficial mutations" all actually consist of distortions. In none of these examples have the benefits necessary for the evolution of an organism-that is, an increase in genetic information-ever come about. Let us now examine why the instances of "beneficial mutations" put forward by evolutionists are not actually useful at all, and cannot lead to evolution.
Sickle-Cell Anemia:
The only instance evolutionary biologists give of "useful mutation" is the disease known as sickle cell anemia. In this, the hemoglobin molecule, which serves to carry oxygen in the blood, is damaged as a result of mutation, and undergoes a structural change. As a result of this, the hemoglobin molecule's ability to carry oxygen is seriously impaired. People with sickle cell anemia suffer increasing respiratory difficulties for this reason. However, this example of mutation, which is discussed under blood disorders in medical textbooks, is strangely evaluated by some evolutionary biologists as a "useful mutation."
They say that the partial immunity to malaria by those with the illness is a "gift" of evolution. Using the same logic, one could say that, since people born with genetic leg paralysis are unable to walk and so are saved from being killed in traffic accidents, therefore genetic leg paralysis is a "useful genetic feature." This logic is clearly totally unfounded.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics:
Another example of evolutionists' "beneficial mutations" is the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. Like all the other examples, this one, too, is a deception. It is no secret that bacteria gradually develop a resistance to antibiotics over time. What happens is this: Most bacteria subjected to an antibiotic die, but some remain unaffected by it, and multiplying rapidly they come to comprise the entire population. In this way, the entire population comes to be immune to the antibiotic.
Evolutionists, however, claim that bacteria evolve according to the conditions in which they find themselves. The truth is, however, rather different. The Israeli biophysicist Professor Lee Spetner is one of the figures who have carried out the most detailed studies in this area. Professor Spetner explains how this resistance comes about by means of two separate mechanisms, neither of which makes any contribution to evolution. The two mechanisms in question are:
1) The transmission of already existing immunity genes in the bacteria and
2) The building of resistance as a result of losing genetic data because of mutation.
The first mechanism is no evidence for evolution:
In a 2001 article Professor Spetner describes the first mechanism in this way:
Some microorganisms are endowed with genes that grant resistance to these antibiotics. This resistance can take the form of degrading the antibiotic molecule or of ejecting it from the cell... [T]he organisms having these genes can transfer them to other bacteria making them resistant as well. Although the resistance mechanisms are specific to a particular antibiotic, most pathogenic bacteria have... succeeded in accumulating several sets of genes granting them resistance to a variety of antibiotics.12
This is no proof of evolution, as Professor Spetner describes:
The acquisition of antibiotic resistance in this manner... is not the kind that can serve as a prototype for the mutations needed to account for Evolution… The genetic changes that could illustrate the theory must not only add information to the bacterium's genome, they must add new information to the biocosm. The horizontal transfer of genes only spreads around genes that are already in some species.13
In other words, there is no evolution here because no new genetic information appears. All that happens is that genetic information that already exists is transferred among bacteria.
There is no instance of a mutation that "improves genetic information," and the immunity mechanisms in bacteria do not represent evidence for the theory of evolution. The basic process in evolution is just not possible.
-All mutations have proved to be harmful. The evolutionist scientist Warren Weaver comments on the report prepared by the Committee on Genetic Effects of Atomic Radiation, which had been formed to investigate mutations that might have been caused by the nuclear weapons used in the Second World War:
Many will be puzzled about the statement that practically all known mutant genes are harmful. For mutations are a necessary part of the process of evolution. How can a good effect-evolution to higher forms of life-result from mutations practically all of which are harmful?20
-Every effort put into "generating a useful mutation" has resulted in failure. For decades, evolutionists carried out many experiments to produce mutations in fruit flies, as these insects reproduce very rapidly and so mutations would show up quickly. Generation upon generation of these flies were mutated, yet no useful mutation was ever observed. The evolutionist geneticist Gordon Taylor writes thus:
It is a striking, but not much mentioned fact that, though geneticists have been breeding fruit-flies for sixty years or more in labs all round the world- flies which produce a new generation every eleven days-they have never yet seen the emergence of a new species or even a new enzyme.21
-
The same holds true for man. All mutations that have been observed in human beings have had deleterious results. All mutations that take place in humans result in physical deformities, in infirmities such as mongolism, Down syndrome, albinism, dwarfism or cancer. Needless to say, a process that leaves people disabled or sick cannot be "an evolutionary mechanism"-evolution is supposed to produce forms that are better fitted to survive.
-A great problem for the theory of evolution by natural selection, is that it cannot enable new organs or traits to emerge in living things. Natural selection cannot develop a species' genetic data; therefore, it cannot be used to account for the emergence of new species. The greatest defender of the theory of punctuated equilibrium, Stephen Jay Gould, refers to this impasse of natural selection as follows;
The essence of Darwinism lies in a single phrase: natural selection is the creative force of evolutionary change. No one denies that selection will play a negative role in eliminating the unfit. Darwinian theories require that it create the fit as well.17
Another of the misleading methods that evolutionists employ on the issue of natural selection is their effort to present this mechanism as an intelligent designer. However,natural selection has no intelligence. It does not possess a will that can decide what is good and what is bad for living things. As a result, natural selection cannot explain biological systems and organs that possess the feature of "irreducible complexity". These systems and organs are composed of a great number of parts cooperating together, and are of no use if even one of these parts is missing or defective. (For example, the human eye does not function unless it exists with all its components intact).
Therefore, the will that brings all these parts together should be able to foresee the future and aim directly at the advantage that is to be acquired at the final stage. Since natural selection has no consciousness or will, it can do no such thing. This fact, which demolishes the foundations of the theory of evolution, also worried Darwin, who wrote: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
-Here is a small list of methods Darwinists use to persuade people to their side. I'll bet you've fallen to them by one of these methods namely, the second one:
Method # 1. They depict evolutionist scientists as very learned, superhuman individuals
Method # 2. Those who accept the theory of evolution are presented as respected scientists; those who do not accept it are branded as conservatives
Method # 3: They try to influence people by using scientific terms and concepts that laymen cannot understand
Method # 4: In order not to break the spell of Darwinism, they themselves do not read, nor do they want their followers to read anything that criticizes them
Method # 5: They pass over questions about evidence for the collapse of the theory of evolution with dismissive responses and later, give the impression that they answered them
Method # 6: Darwinists resort to every kind of rhetorical device toget people under their influence
Method # 7: They try to prove evolution on the evidence of irrelevant topics and discoveries
-In the end after some evidence is presented and people still don't want to believe it is because they are bigots. There is a chance they have a great skepticism for God as well, I wouldn't blame them

I'm back with some news: School is over on Tuesday. Now don't think that since it's summer I'll just be wasting time like most of the kids around here. Yea, in fact, I'll actually be reading. Why? I just want to. I'll also be studying a lot of other things like religion or law. I've already made a list of books to read, so here it is:
Dante - Inferno(Divine Comedy)
Vergil - Aeneid
Chaucer - Canterbury Tales
Homer - Iliad
Sophocles - Oedipus Rex
Voltaire - Candide
Milton - Paradise Lost
Hawthorne - Scarlett Letter
Goethe - Faust
Edgar Allen Poe - Selected Works
Thoreau - Walden
Hugo - Les Miserables
Beowulf
Badnarik - Good to be King
Damn, 14 books. I really hope I get to finish them all too, I probably will. I just wonder what I'll read after I'm done? Well, I know on rainy days I'll be here reading and probably updating my Blog for whoever's reading. In the end, I just want to learn a lot from these books and start by myself in my own personal renaissance.
I have three more final exams: Chemistry, English, and Latin. I'll be out of school by Tuesday, didn't I already say that? Yeah, I did. Well Anyways, it's Friday and like many other weekends before: I'm at home. I might as well read or do some homework. I guess I'm not the kind of kid people want to be around, I don't care, I've got the Internet and that's all that matters...

Just another update
"QUOTE (Golden Arrowhead @ Jun 5 2005, 08:09 AM) It would be foolish to think we know the whole truth about anything, we're always learning new things about the universe. That said, I have no doubt at all that the theory of evolution is closer to the truth than creationism. Haven't checked the video yet but I really doubt it would change my opinion. Yeah there's gaps and inconsistencies in our understanding of evolution, but there is a lot of evidence in support of the general concept of evolution, and no evidence at all in support of creationism, unless you consider a simple-minded literalistic reading of a many-times-translated-and-mistranslated religious text to be "evidence"."
http://www.nwcreation.net/videos/a_question_of_origins.html
Check out the video, it changes lives! I can't stress how much ignorance is dumb, so if you don't already believe in creationism check out the video. It has enough of the facts to tell you, "told ya so!"
"Yeah there's gaps and inconsistencies in our understanding of evolution, but there is a lot of evidence in support of the general concept of evolution, and no evidence at all in support of creationism" Absolutely no evidence in support of creationism? How would he know... God's universe is flawless and VERY complex. I've talked about it before in past posts and I just know sooner or later this ignorance will diminish.
It's interesting to still see how no one considers the Qu'ran, only the Bible is what they're taught: "many-times-translated-and-mistranslated religious text to be "evidence"."" That's the only reason I don't really like the Bible, but some idea's they have are similar to ours so I don't really mind. I cant hate them for it, that would be dumb. Still, it's sad to see that no one knows what our Book talks about.
I've made a list of what I'm going to read this summer, and after that I'll figure out how to write a sort of book. Too big a goal? No, I don't think so. I'll improve my writing and revise my book as much as I can. Don't know what else to say, it's the afternoon and this isn't half as deep as it could be so I'll write again later.

Cards
I was just reading a forum, this guy's talking about his girlfriend and another user commented with:
"I think she looks like a great woman and would probably do more for you than put out, if you just give it time. She looks like a woman that can be caring, keep a house clean, and cook really well.
I think you should keep holding your cards and wait to see what the river card turns up. You are only out of the game if you fold early."
I liked the cards analogy a lot. I like the way you can relate it to life, it's interesting. It's a little lesson for some, I guess for me as well. My dad says you should learn from your mistakes, and from other people's mistakes. That's what I've been sort of subconciously doing my whole life, and I've never made a really bad mistake and I don't believe I would. Sure I'd make some with something I don't really have experience with, but I learn quickly. I don't know what to do today, read or go out. It's Saturday, what the hell...

Thanks
Ha, when I meant post comments I only thought 1 other person I know visits this site. It's a Big surprise to see others read this, as much as I try to keep it private. Thanks for reading, I guess. Oh, and how's this for a new template? To tell you the truth, I actually felt a lot within myself while writing that poem below, it is what I feel. Just now I've let it flow away, into oblivion. Until of course, I hear her name even if it's not the right person, that name will always be there next to some iffy feeling I can't really explain.
Attempts
I just wrote this today, it's only practice and not really the way I feel at all. It's just a little practice I guess on writing creatively, try to interpret it and tell me what you think. Leave a comment too, thanks :o
im in love with a girl, behind the picture of my heart,
who overlooked a diamond in the rough. she'll decide what she wants.
it's been a while since we last met
cant hide in my vast regret
was told i jumped the gun
had no doubt of that in my run
to the steps, desired to impress
had no idea it would be a mess
a barren letter binded between a door and pen
laced with ink and the feeling between women and men
i left it to wait and see, it read:
i love you
sorry i didnt tell you before
i cant keep it in anymore
as weird as this may be
i want to know if,
you want to be with me?
we only knew each other for a few months or so
been sitting here by the phone for a few months in woe
im still here, waiting to see
while i pray it happens to me.
in the end there was no reply
not mad, just let out a sigh because
im in love with a girl, bound by chains against a bleeding wall while memories play in my mind's tv screen, who should have looked a little bit harder. she'll decide what she wants...

The War
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/050530fa_fact
The war between intelligent design and evolution
It's great to see this happening, finally. I mean c'mon even Darwin wrote a chapter in the Origin of Species named "Difficulties on Theory," and openly admitted the existence of difficulties in these terms:
Such is the sum of the several chief objections and difficulties which may justly be urged against my theory… I have felt these difficulties far too heavily during many years to doubt their weight.
If the guy who created this idea is doubting it, why do others believe in it more than him? When they're asked about the complexities of the eye or other biological miracles, they have no answers. These scientists are complete bigots, as are any atheists. I was atheist too, I just didn't search hard enough so don't feel down, and by the way if you want to read about the Qu'ran don't read any propaganda, just get the actual translation by Yusuf Ali and think about it for youself that's all you need. These scientists are unable to accept anything other than their own beliefs most likely because they are scared of the truth or more commonly, believe adamantly that what they have is the truth. I love how the Evolutionists nowadays are complaining so much, they believe they are not being given "a fair chance." What fair chance? Why accept something that we as mankind are starting to figure out is extremely false? People today let their opinions flow around "too much" I think in a way, so much so that there is no care for truth, just what they think "sounds nice." That's what I can't stand about others beliefs, simply the way they believe something they have no idea in what they're talking about. It's hard for me to put my thoughts into words. Overall I think that, Why bother believing something else when you Know what you believe in is right? The only problem for most religions or beliefs is proving that they are right, almost none can do that. There is no book as well written as the Qu'ran, and by saying well written I mean just amazing in every aspect, it's so correct about what it says that I would consider it a miracle, not Just A Book. Ignornace is a sin, read now and learn what I've found.
New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on Earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.

Kings Crossing
Wow haven't updated since the 16th, now it's the 28th. Damn, haha. Anyways, a lot of things have happened since then and I guess you(I) should know. I stopped updating because I joined lacrosse again mid-season with like 4 games left, now it's done. I've been listening to a lot of songs that aren't considered me, but then I read some lyrics and listened to these songs a few times and they're actually good. Well, it's not really a few bands or anything, it's just one guy named Elliot Smith. He died two years ago, either suicide or having been murdered, no one really knows. I downloaded one of his songs a long time ago named Angeles, from the soundtrack of the movie Good Will Hunting. At the same time I'm blogging here, I'm in this MSN chatroom with some Turkish dude who hacked snapple.com and put my name on the shoutouts list which is pretty cool actually. I asked him to take it off after taking a screenshot of it since I know the FBI would destroy me, what can't they do now? Ok back to Elliot Smith, I liked his song Angeles since I heard it during the movie and downloaded it. Then I realized not long ago that this guy actually sang that song(meaning, I forgot who was the singer) and started downloading more and ended up liking it a lot. Most of his songs are about drugs or girlfriends and what I like most about these songs is the way they're written. It gives you a chance to interpret the meaning of the song but in the end you see there's no "correct interpretation." It's vague enough to be understood in many ways but specific enough to give you a good idea on what it's about. Don't understand? Here are some lyrics:
the king's crossing was the main attraction
dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
the scraping subject ruled by fear told me
whiskey works better than beer
the judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
and nobody gets a reprieve
and every wave is tidal
if you hang around
you're going to get wet
i can't prepare for death any more than i already have
all you can do now is watch the shells
the game looks easy that's why it sells
frustrated fireworks inside your head
are going to stand and deliver talk instead
the method acting that pays my bills
keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
i got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
and i get my check from the trash treasury
because i took my own insides out
it don't matter cause i have no sex life
all i want to do now is inject my ex wife
i've seen the movie
and i know what happens
it's christmas time
and the needles on the tree
a skinny santa is bringing something to me
his voice is overwhelming
but his speech is slurred
and i only understand every other word
open your parachute and grab your gun
falling down like an omen, a setting sun
read the part and return at five,
its a hell of a role if you can keep it alive.
but i don't care if i fuck up
i'm going on a date
with a rich white lady
ain't life great?
give me one good reason not to do it
this is the place where time reverses
dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
instruments shine on a silver tray
don't let me get carried away
don't let me get carried away
don't let me be carried away
Read it a few times and think about it. To me, it clearly talks about drugs and tries to put his depression into perspective. Now, what I love about this song is how well he uses metaphors I suppose. The first paragraph is interesting and a good sort of introduction, he talks about the Kings Crossing .. main attraction which is probably the drug. The next line about dominoes falling in a chain reaction is like, once you start you can't stop. Skip a few lines and the verse about injecting his ex-wife is pretty self-explanatory(think heroin). The next part about Santa is interesting as well, it talks about the pine needles on a tree and a skinny santa. If you think about it, the skinny santa is some junky and is bringing Elliot some dope. The next part you would read over and not think twice about it is about dating the rich white lady. I think the rich white lady is not necessarily a human. Again think about heroin, what color is it? I like how he says, "I don't care if I fuck up" before talking about dating the lady and that's what made me re-think. Why would a rich white lady date someone who messes up all the time and doesn't amount to anything? So this relationship has to be with a drug for one, since he talks about it a few times before and two, it's his backup if he screws up or not. The last verse is some sort of image in a hospital where he's searching for help. So the song is about his fame and heroin addiction; his sign to the people is fighting for help in the last verse, so damn good. I should start writing things like that, just to relate to people and prove to myself I'm good at something... Anyways, if you want the song IM me. There's so much more to say about this song, it's almost perfectly written even though there's no such thing. Wait for the next post to explain this, "Do you miss me, Miss Misery, like you say you do?"
the king's crossing was the main attraction
dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
the scraping subject ruled by fear told me
whiskey works better than beer
the judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
and nobody gets a reprieve
and every wave is tidal
if you hang around
you're going to get wet
i can't prepare for death any more than i already have
all you can do now is watch the shells
the game looks easy that's why it sells
frustrated fireworks inside your head
are going to stand and deliver talk instead
the method acting that pays my bills
keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
i got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
and i get my check from the trash treasury
because i took my own insides out
it don't matter cause i have no sex life
all i want to do now is inject my ex wife
i've seen the movie
and i know what happens
it's christmas time
and the needles on the tree
a skinny santa is bringing something to me
his voice is overwhelming
but his speech is slurred
and i only understand every other word
open your parachute and grab your gun
falling down like an omen, a setting sun
read the part and return at five,
its a hell of a role if you can keep it alive.
but i don't care if i fuck up
i'm going on a date
with a rich white lady
ain't life great?
give me one good reason not to do it
this is the place where time reverses
dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
instruments shine on a silver tray
don't let me get carried away
don't let me get carried away
don't let me be carried away

Law of Conservation of Matter
Law of conservation of matter: a fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. Another source states: The total quantity of matter and energy available in the universe is a fixed amount and never any more or less.
After thinking about this "Law" during chemistry class, I think I've come to a "conclusion" about it.
If matter is neither created nor destroyed, how did it come about in the first place? In the big bang, our universe was created with a simple two letter word, "Be!". It had to be then where the law was void and everything was created, and I'm sure it still goes on today even as I write. Think about it, isn't it interesting? It makes sense to me now. How do these new species of animals and strains of virus come about? God has to be the only thing with enough power to be able to break and bend any physical, etc. kind of law, since he invented them all; I'm sure he must be doing it now. A tick is the one kind of animal that I can only think of right now off the top of my head as an animal that "came out of nowhere." Well it did right? There's a lot of other things that seem to me to disprove this theory, I mean, just type "new species" in Google, search and see what comes up.
This one guy from Slashdot, as well as many other brainwashed people believe in Evolution as the "clearly logical" belief of how life came apart,
"Psssssssst....just because you believe in Creation doesn't mean you can't believe in microevolution and evolution within species, especially since we've actually been able to witness it in observation of existing species." Haha, witness it in observation of existing species? What, they just mutate before your eyes? Nope... Or what's funnier,
"Well yeah, it does. Microevolution inevitably leads to macroevolution and therefore species splits. This too, we have observed and documented. Creationists just refuse to acknowledge. That's what is fun to laugh at."Observed and documented, nice choice of words haha...
I see some creationists here as well,
"Next time please talk about something you understand. Here it is in a nutshell. God's original creation was perfect. Sin entered through Adam and Eve's disobediance. God then cursed all creation as punishment.(Genesis 3:14-24) Things like disease and your worm are a direct result of that curse."
The only thing I don't like about Christianity is just how it's able to be criticised,
"Now remember, my child, Everything would've been hunky-dory, except I told you to stay away from the cookie jar and you didn't, so now I have to punish and torture you every day for the rest of your life.
Man, what a great and loving parent.
Incidentally, on the subject of Genesis, which of the two contradictory creation stories would be the correct one?"
This next quote is definitely the reason Christianity is being criticised all the time,
"The bible was written 100-200 years after the death of Jesus, from third party accounts. And has since gone through hundreds of revision by different sects hoping to gain more control through its teachings. What we see now is nothing of the true teachings of Jesus, whom I do believe was a real man. Faith should not make you ignorant to reality as it seems to do with so many people. How can you be content believing in something that just simply doesn't make sense? Faith should help you understand the truth and appreciate the perfect complexities therein. It should expand your mind, not close you off to reality. If your content believing in fairy tails, then that's fine, that's how you chose to manifest your faith...(the end is his personal opinion, not needed.)"
I completely agree, too many people think of Faith as some sort of prison or sort-of evil of believing in things that "make no sense." Well, from third party accounts and much revisions, you'd expect inaccuracies and contradictions. So Islam is God's final present to the people because he tells them to not tamper with it At All, so they didn't and it is still the most beautiful, intellectual book ever created and is simply so great it's not reproducible in its power. Also, it still is giving our oh so genius race new discoveries even after having been written 1400 years prior to these discoveries. Do you think this future telling comes around by Chance? It can't, everything else is so perfect throughout the book and this future telling is another good reason to believe. Why is this truth so hard to find for many people? I've probably been guided to the websites I've visited, that's something weird for me to think about. I do have to say though, I'm very grateful and happy. Since I figured this all out I don't think I've ever been truly sad, because there's no reason to be. I think I'm acing our great "test." It's not over though, I want to write a whole lot before I die. To start my own brance of science,"irfology" haha. I'd have to thank Mr. Chard, My 8th grade science teacher for that one. Well, that's my reflection for you.
