A Simple Yes No or Maybe would Suffice

Well I'm back in school and in my new apartment and while I do love having my own space and especially love being off campus for some reason I am unable to find myself ecstatic or at least a higher level of happy. Something feels different about this year. Maybe it's because I haven't really done anything, or gone anywhere. I mean granted I've been out a few times to see a friend, to eat lunch, to get some groceries and such but for all intensive purposes I feel as if I have accomplished nothing w/my life since I have been here. Since one of my roomies joined a sorority she's been in and out and when she's in she always seems to be doing something for it. I don't think it's bad in fact I commend her for doing something. My other roommate, eh she comes and goes as she pleases, she works regularly tho, and if she's not working it seems like she has something to take care of.

And what do I do? I get up and I don't really do anything, i don't really have a car so it's hard for me to get from point a to point b. Sure my roomies say that they will give me rides to places if I need to and for that I'm very grateful but I hate relying on them I feel like I'm interrupting their lives. My point is that the are doing things and I am not. In a strange way I'm looking forward to when classes start so that I can have something to do. And sadly that's so depressing that I look toward that. Hmmm...maybe this year I will join another club if I find one to be of interest. Because those of you who know me well know that I have to stay busy to be sane and rite now I'm starting to tip of the brink of sanity...

Suprized? Me? Never!

Upon having nothing to do in this, the wee hours of the morning (well not really but that just sounds better for this) my mind began to wonder. It went though many things yet the most important being that i love suprizes. They're fun it's nice to never see something coming yet i've never really had suprizes in my life really (not ne welcome ones neways). For birthdays when i did have a party (which was like once or twice) i knew about it. When I'm venturing somewhere new w/friends i knew about it. Just so many things and events in life where I would have loved to be suprized and now never will be. There are many things I want to do but the problem is i don't want to come up w/it myself...u kno i want other ppl 2 come up w/it. I always plan things...and while i enjoy planning it's nice just once not to plan. I'm tired of finding the new clubs, the new resturants, the new places and gathering ppl 2 go 2 them. Once again yes i like planning but just once one in life i'd like to have some unknown thing awaiting my attendance. I've done many suprize things 4 ppl but *sigh* no one ever does 4 me. I'm not trying 2 sound selfish or nething but just once I want to be told hey we're gonna go somewhere, or put on thus and so and tell me nothing more. The further problem w/this is now it is known that I wish 2 be suprized and if someone gets the idea...is it still then a suprize. Guess I'll always kno what's coming in my life event wise :(

PS. After typing this blog I closed the windows I had pulled up of new resturants I was looking to venture out to. Sad thing is soon, one day, I will be the one taking someone or some ppl to one of them for some non-siprising 4 me event...

An Ode to Google

Okay so this isn't really and "ode" because one i lack creativity of the poetic variety and two, it's way too early/late to come up w/something uber awesome and bearable lol. But I would just like to congratulate Blogger...and more importantly Google for becoming the new owners of my soul, if i had initial possession of it that is (sorry Dauragon)...actually that's a funny story maybe i shall tell it sometime. Anyways, I have slowly realize Google is becoming more prominent in my virtual life. My iGoogle page is now my home page, I now check my gmail account more frequently than any other e-mail account, Google is the first and now only search engine i use when searching for things on the lovely internet, instead of mapquest i use Google maps more now. It's just...they have taken everything i even need to do online and put "Google" on it. And u know what? It's working...Oh no...their slow domination of the world is beginning...someone warn the people!!!

Fourtuneless Cookie

In the usual tradition of eating Chinese food out we received fortune cookies at the end of our meal. I always love getting fortune cookies when I'm out w/my beloved because our fortunes are always interesting and relevant. However when I opened my fortune cookie there was no fortune. Yet much like the Asian Mailman (see 7/26/07) this has nothing to do with what i wish to initially talk about.

Today I had the pleasure of coming across a very interesting article "For the Love of Xenu", an article about how Scientology is not a cult. I do recommend reading this article or at least skim through the article before continuing reading this. Before you think I practice Scientology, I do not...the article just interests me and I have in interest in all religious because i'm fascinated by them. Throughout the article the author (Mark Oppenheimer) makes some very valid points.

Once again I'm not trying to justify the validity of Scientology but the article says a lot of thought provoking statements. I guess if the main point of this article were to be summed up it would be on particular paragraph in the article:

"Religions appear strange in inverse proportion to their age. Judaism and Catholicism seem normal—or at least not deviant. Mormonism, less than 200 years old, can seem a bit incredible. And Scientology, founded 50 years ago, sounds truly bizarre. To hear from a burning bush 3,000 years ago is not as strange as meeting the Angel Moroni two centuries ago, which is far less strange than having a hack sci-fi writer as your prophet."

In the end I just don't see why people can't just practice religious tolerance. I know that what I believe is not what someone else believes, and what other people believe some won't agree either, but that's what is so great about diversity. Life would just be so much easier if we don't devote so much time and effort to subjecting others over religious, or "religious" matters. So many problems through out the centuries have it roots in someone not agreeing with what relgion another may practice. I could go on and on about this...but i figure i'll spare you all for now...
