why is every webcomic on earth talking about the origin of life?
i have a big problem with the common idea of creationism being wacked.
the entire scientific community and higher academia pretty much exiles anyone proposing a possibility of intelligent design.
there are cases of scientists being black listed for hinting towards ID in their research, even as a possibility.
since we are able to count time in units, that would hint there was a beginning point, a thing where time started. so there, the universe came into existence somehow.
every scientist describing the big bang theory literally has to resort to a giant incident that made all of those molecules connect at that one moment, and created a scientifically perfectly proportioned universe.
if the world was any bigger the rotation would make weather uninhabitable for life, and same for if the world was smaller.
many scientists concede the notion that the chances of the creation of the universe and how basic life works happening by chance is astronomically unlikely and logically impossible.
Even Charles Darwin felt, and later wrote, that if his theory was correct that life would be terrible and not worth living.
despite my christian upbringing, i feel that the silencing of a valid belief and theory as to the origin of life is wrong. im not suggesting that the Judeo-christian God created everything (even tho that is what i believe), im saying that the idea that the universe was a Causation and not simply random events.
once the idea of causation in creation is forfeited, the idea of stability within the universe is then forfeit, because if there was no ultimate order when putting together, what prohibits more random accumulations and creations to occur?

i don't like the person i was, and the person i want to be isn't working to hot
i can't even be myself (the one i want to be) because that seems to piss off people even more.
i can move back to the west coast and be a dick.
i can stay out here and try and start over.
both have advantages. both would leave me alone in the end.
my sheer state of uncertainty is enough to drive even the closest of friends away.

alright imma fly home tommorrow and get there at about 9-10 pm
maybe i can swing by moreau on wednesday.
thnxgvn which im as juiced for becuase i havent had a really good meal in idk how long.
maybe see me some cupcake and BBMC and who ever wants to drop by the house.
so as the semester closes, im thinking of being an RA for the dorms next year. it'll cover $6,000 of tuition and i can pay off little parts with jobs around the campus.
i also need to ace my next semester so i can maintain academic scholarship. so if those work out im essentially getting a free ride. minus books and what not.
on matters of current affairs.
congrats to president elect obama.
so far his plans to create jobs in his term is making me happy.
and his plans for expanding education (especially in preschools) are things i can agree with.
hopefully by then ill be a teacher and some of those benefits will off set tax increases.
i just hope the republican party can admit defeat and try and work towards a middle ground instead of crying and giving up.
there are a lot of moderate dems in the house that would be willing to work on a moderate bill and deal with pork barreling.
its almost snowing, i like it.

the reason Obama is dealing with all these attack ads (not that its cool)
is that since he's a newcomer to the national scale and media, all of his past questionable doings need to be explained for.
McCain had the keating five incident, where he and other senators received 1.3 million dollars towards campaigns to allow crappy deals to be passed. that was several years ago, and both parties believe that McCain has done a good job apologizing and explaining himself.
he admitted to being wrong.
thats not good but he explained himself.
obama basically told everyone that those questionable relationships " he doesn't agree with their politics"
which doesnt explain why he spent 20 years listening Jeremiah wright or several years on a council with an unrepentant william ayers.
if he honestly disagreed with these people, why did he spend so much time under their council.
a simple" i dont agree with thier politics" doesnt give the public enough of an answer.

okay so the VP debate is going to be moderated by a woman who has been documented by both colleagues and other critics as to have a bias against sarah palin.
she has been known to be "snippy" with canidates she doesnt agree with (Dick Cheney in 04)
and is writing a book about the era of barack obama. (set ot be released on inauguration day)
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76645
and i found an interview between john McCain and a gay news group called the washington blade.
which is an group that keeps the political tabs of the LGBT movement.
http://washblade.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=21367
my respect for McCain just sky rocketed after reading this interview.
he handled it much like i want more republicans to.
hes been getting flack for not being the staunch conservative people want.
hes a dynamic conservative which is what we need.
i think everyone should read those two articles.

so the giant $700 billion buyout that the government is constructing to save our shitstorm of an economy is pissing me off
as well as almost every american that kindof pays attention.
BUT
this isnt new
taking taxpayers money and throwing at problems in america isnt new
adn the only reason is it now is cuz its tryign to save big corporations.
when ever the government feels like it knows whats best to do with the tax payers money
that pisses me off.
welcome to an age of stagflation
and if we dont post some serious legislation to be able to fix how the flow of money is handled
instead of throwing more money away IT WILL NOT GET BETTER
dont look back at the great depression for help
that was an entirly different situation
look back to the late 70's for help
and the use of Reaganomics to make the 80's one of the most prosperous decades in america.
i dont know a whole bunch about housing markets adn stuff
but i do know that the same people that are pissed of that the government is using tax payers money to save this crisis
are the same people that are going to vote in a person who will do the same thing with every other problem.
get at me.

first of all im not a revolutionary.
im not militant.
i just like politically charged debate, music and art.
these next 4 years depending. could be the the crucial moment
in how the post-cold war kids will leave this world.
i sense a second wave of hardcore punk emerging, but the only problem is kids cant let the first one die in peace. instead of dragging it out and using it as a fashion and a bad excuse to be immature. instead of standing for something and fighting, its become frivolous.
im not a punk rocker.
but i have been an avid supported of reform. (watered down revolution)
senseless uninformed protesting pours salt into the wounds.
holier than thou spouting and shit kicking during election times allows for a lack of cooperation in the highest forms of power in the nation. ( the people)
if we spent more time focusing and educating ourselves, we'd understand how both candidates are drifting towards the same platform. ( i back in 06 read an article about a hopeful mccain obama platform) would have been cool.
yes barrack obama will keep forces in the middle east.
mccain will have government programs helping fight global warning (dont get me started)
i just want the party names to be dropped for a second, value each candidate on their stance and plans on the issues, their history in office and make a valid decision on who you honestly feel is better suit for the job of commander and chief.
im not a republican, im not a democrat.
im not an anarchist, im not a communist.
i want to be able to work to support myself and my family.
but in the future, if the equation is right.
and a new dawn of a punk era ( similar to the early 80's)
then i will have no problem jumping on board.
but to let u know the person who you'll be fighting against
wont be who u think it is.

i finished the sun also rises by Earnest Hemingway and finally (after promising my gf) i'm going to read Native Son.
i'm currently working on Footloose at ICT, as Chuck Cranston. shows are April 10-19 i believe.
i've decided that i'm not going to do 42nd street for starstruck so i can get a job.

why anybody deals with my stupid egotistical shit is completely beyond me.
i have a beautiful amazing loving girl, and i go and hurt her.
what is wrong with me?
on a lighter note i got a scholarship for MBU for 9,500. i got 1,500 for having a relative being there and another like 500 for going to a catholic school
so now it went from like 23,000 to 11,000 or so. which is not bad for an out of state private school.
once i move away and entirely new set of problems will land across my shoulders.
