"For the believer - no evidence is required.
For the non-believer - no evidence will suffice."

                        - Probably someone pretty clever Grisham was quoting.


They Argue:  They only believe in God and all that crap because they were taught it from day one and made to read the Bible and go to church and stuff.  They were brainwashed!

I Refute:  How is this different from your belief in Science and "all that crap"?  You were taught it from day one and made to read textbooks and go to school and stuff.  Were you brainwashed?

It's a great title for a fantastic theory - and one day, when I have the time and focus I will share it...

...and you will shiver at the awesome majesty of it and question the very basis of your existence.

In the meantime here's a picture of the idiot in charge of the most powerful military force on the planet:

 

Huzzah!

As I've said, I usually avoid being overly political here on ModMyth.  All I can say is that I'm really glad the responsibility is not upon me.

If it was, I would want a 'negative vote' option - for when you don't sway towards any particular candidate, but you definitely don't want one particular war-mongering profit-monkey to win the presidency...

...again.

(was that obscure enough to maintain my anti-politics stance?)

Anyway, to all my freinds who will be voting:  Good luck with the whole 'deciding the fate of the entire world' thing.

(no pressure)

The world is flat - it is only the curvature of space-time that makes it 'appear' spherical.

I've been thinking about death a lot recently.  No particular reason - just a random theme that stuck.

One day you'll be dead... so will I... and so will everyone you and I both know.

Our memory may live on in the people who knew us - the good and the bad.  People we never met may some day gaze upon our works and wonder who we were.  Our childrens, childrens, children will still carry a diluted set of our genes and perhaps know our names and a few statistics of our lives.  A record will be kept somewhere of our death and the circumstances involved.

But eventually down the great tunnel of times-past we will dissapear.  Our genes dispursed in the generational winds, all memory and records expunged under the weight of swollen history sense.

We will be nothing then - we will be finally, truly, utterly dead.  Nameless and forgotten.

...because late TeeVee looks great through whisky-goggles...

It's funny how you can be into someone so completely and utterly one day and the next you just want them to slide under a bus and taste their own blood.

Same intensity of feeling at a completely different frequency.

...I've mentioned it before (on this page in fact) - that these entries are bad freehand sketches of the impossible geometries of thought that exist in my head.  But I've just noticed something else...

...translating the thoughts into language forces them into different and in some cases wholly new shapes.  The process of defining concepts, decoding them into interpretable common word symbols, often requires that they are contemplated in different ways.  Language is associative by nature - each single word or cluster of words will spark a certain engram-set which in turn may ladel its own set of connotations into the mix...

...no word is an island - no sentence a free floating asteroid.  Every thing, every word and every thought exerts its own gravity and is acted upon by the gravitational pull of everything else...

...take this thought as an example - I'm sure I was going somewhere with it when I started, yet somehow it has been pulled of course by sidereal notions and distracting alterior ideas, and now it is impossible to imagine that it will ever reach its intended point of impact...

...if there ever was one...
