Opinions, Experiences & Random Haikus

I have just been listening to old Geekdrome episodes, and reading some of the old forums. It is really sad, but a lot of funny memories are in that past year of my life. Supposedly JLO is in the process of a "new project", and he kinda leaked it is going to be another podcast. As for DannyT, he better be doing something also, besides directing commercials every once and awhile. It made me feel a little bit better knowing I can look forward to upcoming things.

I'm seeing a lot of Christmas music around lately on myspaces. I'm starting to get excited for the holidays. The commercials are finally putting "joy" in my heart. I can't wait to go home and spend time with my family. For the first time in my life, everyone is grown up, there are no more kids. Everyone at home is a family/friends now. Before it was like Nadine talking to Greg like a kid, which he was, but now that he is older I'm starting to see that this is who we have. I'm actually really happy with it. I think it really started when Nadine, Greg, Dominica, and myself were sitting in the familyroom on Gregs birthday, after the parents (mom dad aunt uncle) were all fighting with each other. We sat there and stared at each other and talked about how this really all we have, it was a very humbling feeling.

Instead of studying for homework, I listened to Richard Dawkins talk for 3 hours about his book "the God Delusion." He is an amazing speaker, and was shooting kids/professors down left and right who opposed/attacked him. I wish more people would open their mind to personal thinking, instead of "traditional thinking." Just because your parents are Catholic/Christian/Jewish doesn't mean you have to agree or accept it. Think for yourself, and ponder if that is really what you believe. If you are anything like me, then hell no. Once I started to actually think for myself, instead of just following the beliefs of my parents, the thought of a deity was absurd. Organized religion is another matter, and an even bigger problem. So many wars, so many lives lost because of religion. "I'm right". "No, I'm right" (bombing). If anyone reads this, and wants to hear something amazing, listen to Dawkins speak, or pick up his book.

I have a headache', and I'm starting to feel the stress of things on my shoulders. I think I maybe getting sick. It was 15 degrees today, and it was snowing. It was nice to walk though the snow, and getting flakes caught in my beard. There is a big difference between walking in the cold, and walking in the cold while it is snowing out.
