i just had Biology and i'm really questioning deep things right now. I'm wondering why i feel like i should be social, why do i need friends, why do i need love, why do i need any interaction at all?

The chicken [turkey?] bone gun in ExIsTeNz was teh rock! Do you know off hand who directed that? I forgot, but they released some other weird-as-hell movie I've been meaning to see...

regarding doing everything for yourself and not interacting with others, being completey autonomous from society? It's called Everquest ^_^

Also, some could argue that the worship of money in todays society, or any idolitry (sp?) is the recreation of belief, and many see it as insult and blasphemy towards god, yet a lot of churches in the south (specifically Evangelicals, if I remember correctly) have been preaching that focussing on the acquisition of wealth is okay, so long as you "keep your eyes on the prize" aka keep the big man first. Kinda makes you wonder where the line blurs, ne?

Yeah, that gun was crazy. Such a weird movie. I can't remember who directed it, but i can find out right now!

David Cronenberg.

That's who.

I meant creating belief in machines. What is it? How does that work? What appeals to people about it that suddenly makes them think, i should follow that? What are beliefs? We can't hard-wire it into a machine, because beliefs change a lot.

I was actually thinking about World of Warcraft while i was writing that part. I think that i'd have to not play that at all if i wanted to be completely shut off. No interactions at all. But i think that's kind of hard to do in college.

Cronenberg, that's right...I was supposed to see "Naked Lunch", it's a movie based on a really fucked up novel with a heavy dose of Kafka-esque themes and whatnot...

Rebecca told me about that book... we saw it at Borders.

I didn't know there was a movie, much less one which was directed by the same guy who did Existenz. Crazy. >_
