A Shock

So, I'm not going to say much right now, but I just found out that a close friend of mine will be in jail for a really long time. You think you know someone, and then... It's like getting punched in the gut. All the wind is knocked out of you, you feel shaky, dizzy, and somewhat disoriented. I also feel kinda lost and fuzzy (but not in a good way, and I can't shave it off).

So, I haven't written in a while. Again. Oh well. It's not like anyone reads this. It's practically private.

Leo told me I could get a cat or kitten (finally!) so I've been looking for one. I've found some on Craigslist that are really cute, but I'd rather meet them before choosing. You gotta know which one will fit for the rest of your lives, you know? I'd LIKE to get one from the pound, but that's a lot more expensive, and we don't have transportation.

I'm restless. I'll write later.

A God I can get behind

Okay, I'm freaking out. Like, completely. If you looked at me, you'd be "Oh, she's just sitting in front of her computer, she doesn't look any different than usual." but inside, there's a four-ish-year-old FREAKING OUT.

When I get so incredibly bored with Facebook and Twitter that I'm about to pound my head against the wall, I resort to an old favorite insomnia-inducing browsing program called "StumbleUpon." It's a surfer's crack.

Well, I stumbled upon an article that I would never have found online with out SU. In fact, I'm pretty inclined to believe it was Fate that a little under a year ago a friend told me to get Stumbling, and that tonight I would find this article. Or maybe it was luck. Who knows? Who really cares?

Anyways, I found this... article? IDK what you would call it... about this dude who's in the subway, and is interrupted by this "thirty something white male" who calls himself God, and proves it by giving him personal information that no one else could possibly know, including his wife.

So he's convinced, and starts having a conversation about evolution, God, mankind, and how it's all intertwined. My favorite parts are about God himself. For most of my short, 19 year old life, I have refused to believe that God was omnipotent, wanted us to go to Church every Sunday, pray every night and morning, follow strict rules, and read my scriptures every day. Because who would enjoy a game of SIMS if that's what their lives composed of, worshiping you? And it might be awesome for the first few days of playing it, but could you imagine enduring it for billions of years???? I know I'd be like, "Dudes, come ON get a frickin' LIFE already! I'm OVER IT!"

Anyways, so this dude is talking about how he had NOTHING to do with the bible, Ten Commandments, or any organized religion. In fact, the last time he "interfered" was when he blew the dinosaurs into smithereens so that mammals could grow and then take over the earth. Because, come on, can YOU imagine a T-Rex in a labcoat doing experiments on bunnies instead of eating them? I can't.

Gack. I'm tired. I forgot where I was going with this. Here's the link: http://www.fullmoon.nu/articles/art.php?id=tal

Have a good night...
