It's '09, *expletive referring to a female dog*

so yeah, good stuff from that.

so, it's kind of frightening to think that my thoughts are already at the years ahead, so rarely is my head in the moment (except when i'm working, which is odd, to say the least).

this break has begun to drag on me, i miss school. I love learning and it does pain me to be away from the very center of learning itself. my computer begins to disinterest me (which is sad, because i do love her) but i believe that will be cured when i have places to go. today is friday, i have yet to sleep and the time is 2:45.

now for the philosophical quid bit of the week. This is a question for all those who believe in a higher power (good god, audience participation, james? you mustn't!) (hehe, i just said good god james)
here is your question, why do you believe? that's my question for you. i know that in all the years i believed in a higher being, i never asked myself that question, and i believe it must be asked. I asked this to one of my friends recently, and i got about a half-hour of alot of talking, but not a single straight answer. then, after all that dodging and countering, she broke down and told me straight out. Now, it didn't move me to religion again, but it restored my faith (hahaha, PUN) in mankind. her answer was exactly what i was looking for. the reason that she was moved to be apart of what she is apart of.

Next off, I would like to repeal my previous statement that religion is bull-shit. It is the 9-11 thing again. i realized that i don't feel the way i used to about religion because so many people around me have (well, not personally) used the name of a higher being as a rallying call for abuse of those around them. therefore, i no longer feel any attachment or sentimentality over the subject. it is my belief, however, that if there is a higher being, they would accept me, not by my belief in them during my life, but in the acts that i have done and the happiness i have obtained in my life. if any higher being doesn't accept those who are truly happy, that higher being is one i wouldn't have followed anyway.

now for our non-sequitar part of the evening, by god i use huge words. my vocabulary is gigantic and half the time, i doubt i'm even using the word correctly, i'm glad you guys can understand what i'm saying.

now for our plea for the week. (cue the saddening, heart-felt song) Today, there is a James out there waiting for your comments to give him something to read every once in a while. by posting just one comment on each of his blogs, you can entertain him for 5-25 minutes. that 5-25minutes let's him know that people care for him, so please, comment now.
(to send in your comment, please press the comment link on the bottom of the blog and leave a comment, and remember, the larger the comment, the more entertained james is :D)

completely off topic:
yes, you can run ubuntu either from a live disk, or you can partition your hard drive to run a dual boot. so, yay, you should try it. just don't accidentally format your hard drive.

making a live disk is easy, too. you just download ubuntu from their website and burn the iso image file to a disk. but you need an image burning software. you can get that free on the internet as well. i use imgburn.

even more off topic, did i leave a bag with a red shirt and a large battery at your house? i think i did, because that's the last place i remember having it.

wow, this was a long comment.
