oooo! can it be? time for MIND BLOWING

i bring you new things every day. i work and slave and try really, really hard not to be funny. and i usually spend my first sentence to a paragraph about nothing except light things. the first time i realized this was when Bubs and Krater interviewed me about corrective discrimination. i enjoy that phrasing because is less politically correct and seems a little more descriptive of the situation. Anyway, they would ask me a question, and then I would just kind of spout off silly answer to the question for a while and then I would actually dig into the issue. they said it was really hard for the class to take my the rest of replies seriously after i would crack some sort of simpleton joke.

what did i plant on the internet to hyperlink to today? THIS


  1. Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.
  2. In all things, strive to cause no harm.
  3. Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.
  4. Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
  5. Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.
  6. Always seek to be learning something new.
  7. Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
  8. Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.
  9. Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.
  10. Question everything.

A new 10 commandments for aethists. My first thought is this quite a nice list. I can't really argue against any of these commandments without bringing a faith element into it. but what do i really know?

i shall be adapting these into what i try to live out.

5 things from yi-ting
there are only 4 pro baseball teams in tawian
6 basketball teams
she doesn't like to dance, but likes to sing karokee. or maybe flip that. i can't remember
she lives in an apartment
there are only 7 levels to her apartment.

I Hate Texas and You Can Two

it's part 3hree time.


I bring you Texas and it's love of the police and injustice.



I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT ME THREE OF THEM!



this can also be contributed to my dissent of the police. do i have problems with authority? yes i do. will i ever be able to get a real job without regretting it? no. do i want to have a contest with somebody as to who can get fired first from Wal-mart? yes.

if you want to you can come eat my ice cream. cause it's the only thing that is going to make you feel better right now.

1st up: is humor immoral?

now if you have had facebook or twitter, you have consequently heard my questioning. it is a very interesting question. the article that sparked this thought can be found here. so, what do you think? where does humor originate? is it the incongruity of nature and the world around us? or does it derive from our perception of superiority?

well, if it does come from a superiority, how does a Christian integrate this into their living style? well, first off, it's not a very popular opinion to hold. (humor is immoral) the article argues that humor originated in the African jungle as an alternative to violence. We can all agree that an human instinct is to be better than the competition. So if a man is looking for a sexual partner to advance is genome, he has to be better.

One option is violence. He can champion himself through violence. There are several consequences for this route. It takes a lot of energy to become stronger and bigger than the competition. Also, there is a lot of risk in this position.

Another option is verbal. Here, the man makes his claims for dominance by boasting that he is the biggest baddest mofo. Another verbal option is to make the competition look foolish by pointing out their mistakes or short comings. Humor.

Dr. Charles Gruner of The University of Georgia believes that superiority is the root of humor.

A question that this raises in my mind is are we all equal? That is much a question about America as it is about Christianity.

Can God then be funny? yes, because that is what makes him God. is he superior.

What if we leave Christianity behind and only discuss this in terms of a social context?

These are some of the questions that I am wrestling with right now. Along with: can I even be funny anymore and still see people/myself in the former as equal?

punch your own bread dough. it makes life better.

i'm going to start a segment in my blog called:

"I hate Texas and you can too."

catchy, i know.

the premise of this new segment is that I hate Texas. And you can too in 3 easy steps.

1. read my awesome blog. love it. live it. make it be your knife at a steak dinner. let it be your tent when you are camping. put it on the stove and cook with it. put it on your face so that other people will see you smile. that is step one.

1.01 jk

2. click on the links i provide. i don't do this for your health. i do this cause it makes me feel better about myself. look what i can do. i can hyperlink to another article. i just had facial reconstruction surgery and the only job i could find was filling up this awesome blog with hyperlinks. step 2 involves guilt and pity

3. read the headline, LOLz, then read the article. again, LOLz. then bring out that little pot of hate that you put your english assignments in, and laddle some of it out into laboratory approved containers because it is highly reactive with love. step 3 is time and labor intensive. middle aged men should not attempt while investing in the 'tank' market. get it? get it? i made a funny.


and there you have it. you now are on your way to hating texas. so now i have a few practice rounds for you.

THE FIRST ONE!!!!


THE SECOND ONE!!!!! i added more explanation points so that it would still be as potent as the first set of e-points, but i won't let you overdose.














(the only person from texas i don't hate is Claly Day)

just a fewer updates.

knee is getting better, but i'm still not running. i probably need to get back on my bike. so please watch out for me as you drive. AND as you get out of your car. if you open your car door into a bike lane, there isn't much room for me to go except straight into your door.


i have no classes on tue/thur. looking for something to do.

gravity gets me down.

streaming clips

my extremely deprived friends, it could be that time of year that i delight your life with the glances i give to you.


what hurts you? i know, well, at least Santa does.

this is just going to be rambling, kinda like a warm up before a slam dunk.

i find that my mouth really enjoys having something to chew on. is that why gum sells so well? because we have become slaves to our mouths? or minds?

hey birds, i didn't fly up to your house, eat some nasty brown seedy stuff, and then crap on your wings. so why are you pooping my car? completely not cool. and what was with the PTA meeting on my front lawn the other day? do you know that my roommates were thoroughly freaked out. i tired to cover for your feather asses, but the best story i could come up with was that there were two big birds, one on each half of our lawn. you know that shit flew about as well as yours does. don't make me do that again.

hey people in charge of the metro school systems here in middle TN, why the hell did you close down schools today? did you want that 4 day weekend as bad as i did? i thought so. you schedule one snow day in a year, and you know that it isn't going to happen here in the SOUTH. so when it gets a little cold, about as cold as a chilly day in march where i come from, you decided that it was a prime opportunity to get a C-C-Combo. nice move, but you official went into my permanently hate book. right there with texas.

dear reader, i hope you are enjoying my destruction of the english gramatical structure.

to blue jean makers, hi, how are you? well, if you wanted to know, i would be doing really well if i could find a pair of jeans that would fit me. and i'm not pissed about the lack of styles or the way i have to dig through every pie of jeans from here to the ceiling in JC Pennys of the jeans against the wall that look like some amish fashion designer said, hey, there looks like a real pair of durable jeans that will sell really well for those who have no other options. i understand that there aren't many people that request 33x36 jeans, but when you do make those jeans, please take some time to understand that the people who are buying these will permently be your customers because no one else is cutting jeans like that. GIVE ME SOME STYLE!!! i would love to have a nice, dressy, dark pair of jeans.

okay, so i feel a little more warmed up.

here is one of my scares right now. mixing. mixing audio. and why do i say that? cause i'm not really all that practiced right now. i have very little experience with it, and i don't know how to get a mix that everyone likes. i feel that everyone has something completely new they want to do, and they don't tell me about it until after i give it to them. and then i have insecurity issues with my skills. maybe the don't know what they want, and it's not my fault. i've not gotten a lot of favorable feedback. i wish that i could work with someone who knows what they want and can communicate that. usually after a session, i have no direction and no feedback and then a couple days later i am completely lost. i want more talking. i don't care if it's indecisive, cause at least that gets the ball rolling. but just so you know, it's not going to be the end of it.
