Go here and download this album, Lunar - Hybrid Awaken. It sounds like amazing sex. There are no lyrics and the album takes almost no time to download. …I love it already, I’ve already listened to it twice.

Also, I came across 2 good music sites Hellcat Records and J-Underground, if you like japanese music. Which I do… It’s a good place to head over to.

I really like games that make you think, I don’t remember what the one is called, but you get put in a room and you have to figure out how to get out - I love that game. I found this robot one today, and I wish it was longer. It didn’t take me all that long to beat the entire thing - but I still really liked it… because, I like robots and cool games.

I’ve also started playing Risk on my computer - bad news. My roommates, Dan and Karl, both play it and have warned me numerous times not to get involved because you get involved. But, I am ignoring their warning, and getting involved.

While I’m posting, there are a few other random sites you should check out… Get a cool dose of geology here. I like reading about rocks, and strata. I used to be really into rock formations, but now its all about the strata and the layers. If you come across any good geography or geology blogs let me know - I think about 2 on my blog roll. The geology one I have on there is really really good, but I’d like more to read.

I was watching this Even Stephen clip with Colbert and Brick arguing about religion… and it was hella funny - but you can already see the problem. I just kept thinking "Brick" and thus all I could think of was "I love lamp." So I’m not entirely certain if it really was all that funny or if I was just having Anchorman flashbacks!

Coming across this Ann Coulter article reminded me of three things. The first is that I was going to buy an Ann Coulter book while in an air port book store either when I went to New York to see Alon or when I went back to Ontario to see the family/friends. I don’t remember which. Either way… I was pretty tempted but didn’t after realizing I’d be supporting Coulter - but I just wanted to read it! She’s kind of hilarious…

It also reminded me of when I was standing in line to go through security at the Pearson airport going from Toronto to Vancouver a couple weeks ago… There was a big giant sign that said "It is prohibited to speak of or commit terrorist acts." …Its times like that I’m tempted to chant "Praise Allah!" really loud in the security line just to see what happens. I’ve gotten really bad at being flip with security gaurds, I even went as far as to tell one of them that my Arabian father had stolen all my knifes for his flight - so I obivously didn’t have any.

Oh… and the third is that I hate Coulter.

I hate Richard Dawkins a bit less - but this picture off his website is sort of funny. I had a giggle or two. "GASP! you hate dawkins?!" …I don’t *hate" Dawkins. …I think he’s just as bad as all the christian/muslim fundies out there promoting hate and intolerance. …Dawkins leaves no room for religion in any ones life, he is extremely intolerant of religion…

This isn’t the way that I think people should be approaching atheism. …His memetic theory, in very simple terms, suggests that memes, self replicating tranmissions from culture, pass vertically and horizontally through families and in play with evolution memes are naturally selected and weeded out… This is where his intolerance of religion starts to come in… In Dawkin’s eyes the religion meme should have been weeded out ages ago, thus he becomes completely offended and intolerant of religion in the mind of anyone….

But I say let them believe to the extent at which harm is not done. I’m not blind enough to say that religion does not harm to people - …uh, duh… But I am accepting enough to know that some people want/need to believe in a god and a religion. And if thats what they want to believe in - thats what they should be allowed to believe in… As long as it comes no where near politics Then there are others that take that extra step to take God off of money on their own.

And speaking of faith and religion - the hour has a nice little peice on Ghandi. And by nice I mean… geez louise.

On Edit: I’ve just noticed the post at Alon’s blog pointing over to another post - where there is a much better read on Dawkins than what I’ve done.

I better make it a good one eh?

How about this…

go to this link and watch the video. …The absolute best is when the farmer pops the umbrella and about 5 of them fall over.

Thanks to my sister for sending me that. She likes it when their little legs go in the air.

I did a project on goats in my anthropology class in first year. Had I of not done such a shitty job on it I’d have probably learned about these goats before and been able to laugh at them earlier.

…Speaking of doing shitty jobs - I got all my marks back. …only one D, in religion. C+ in philosophy of the environment (which is sort of funny considering thats what I post about over at Eco-chick….heh) A- in women’s studies and an A+ in poli/religion - but i still need to write a paper for that class. He’s given me an N/A as it stands now, but I need to get that in.

I’ve spoken to all siblings, roommates and some friends and no one really has any good new years plans set up. very strange… but I’m glad I’m not alone in the boring new years events group. Minus the people that went up the mountain - if I didn’t have to be on air before they’d be back from the mountain I’d be up there. Grr-Arg.

Its starting to get fun.. thinking of titles to posts that have nothing to do with what I’m going to be writing - mostly because I don’t know what i’ll get around to writing…. I had an eventful night. Walked for like 2 hours around the neighbourhood with King and attempted to color my hair… however, black doesn’t go away very easily.

Tomorrow is new years… I don’t have any huge plans. I’m going to a Helix concert downtown… I’ll be working the bar for most of the night with a few really great people… Yay tips! Then I’m heading over to the station to ring in the new year with the live band there and do some on air crazy stuff. …Which will be fun. Then who ever is left from that is coming over to my house. I’m gussing it will be about 3 or 4 people - I’m hoping that doesnt turn into 10 or 12.

I killed a spider with some hair dye. …He wasn’t very impressed with me. :S

I have about 5 billion posts on the go right now. …1/2 are pretty decent. I just need to finish them, and stuff. I’ve just been too lazy and I think I’m getting sick. More tomorrow or later. I need more sex and the city and sleep… I’ll more than likely do a link post before I pass out… ahem.

"Some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies."

Sometimes … really late at night, when the rest of the house is quiet and my entire week has gone to shit, I curl into bed and start watching Sex and the City. Before I realize it, it’s 7 am and I’ve watched an entire season. It makes me miss my friends and encourages me to start writing more, but I never tell my friends I miss them and I never end up writing anything. Weird how things work.

King has decided to come back from China early when he heard that I was in Victoria with no one around. Some people you can just count on to be by your side no matter how ridiculous you are to them. He should be back to this area in about 8 more hours.

I’m sure all my readers know that Saddam was killed yesterday. I don’t follow politics nearly as much as I should. Partly because I don’t have the time, but mostly because… generally speaking, I don’t care. I know that’s fairly ignorant of me - however, I am still certain that despite my best efforts to ignore politcal news, I still know more than the average person floating around.

Having said that, I usually don’t publically form opinions around political stories. Not because I’m lacking the knowledge, but because political debates are never something I want to get into that badly. Alas …I don’t think Saddam should have been executed. Killing someone in order to bring any form of justice is pointless. More than that - the first news article I read about it today (sorry, I don’t have the link.) spoke of how his two daughters watched his execution on the television.

I watched my dad die, he wasn’t executed and he didn’t lead a life which caused harm to others. However - even if he had led a life that caused harm and death to other it would have made it no easier for me to watch him be killed by a state. The execution of Saddam has not made the world any sort of a better place. In fact, I believe it has shown a far more horrible side of the world, we’re not killing just for religion and territory but also for revenge and justice.

I didn’t plan for my personal update post to turn into a political rant of sorts, but that’s just been bothering me a lot. The idea that "evening the score" with people will make things better, especially through death, is highly overrated and does nothing in the long run. In a game of shot for shot both members end up with sore shoulders. (I have 2 brothers - trust me, I know how bad shot for shot can get. And actually, my favorite ex-boyfriend, Reid and I used to play it all the time too.)

But really, in a world of fights, wars, crimes and punishments when on any level can the score be evened? Will now open sores with friends ever fully be mended with some negotiations and talks? Will the people in the east ever really be satisfied with the world enough to stop killing and fighting?

I’m not even sure what I need to give right now in order to rebridge the gap with at least 3 friends that basically hate me right now - all for different reasons. What is Isreal supposed to do to become on any sort of good terms with those that they fight with?

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, eh?

Too bad there aren’t simple answers and simple solutions that don’t require more pain, more hurt, and more suffering to occur. However it doesn’t seem as though solutions like this exist for anything anymore.
