Yesterday I shot a gun for the first time. Actually I shot three guns. A sixty year-old .22 rifle, a 9 shot .22 revolver and a 30.06 rifle. I loved it. I was surprised. My paintball gun has more recoil than either of the .22s. We were firing at 2 liters filled with water and they were exploding left and right.
Anyway, for all those that don't ( Read more... )

My second period B-day class is Algebra 2 with Ms. Gillespie in building 4. I usually go from there straight to lunch, but not today. Today I went in the opposite direction to Ruiz's 3AB pre-AP English. It's not a big deal. I just went to a different place for 25 minutes, but I got that empty-stomached butterfly feeling I get when ( Read more... )

  Alright, I am tired of discussing this with people. So, for all of the one person who reads these, I am going to cover this for the last time.

Okay, so morality can be defined as simply as "right and wrong". What is good and bad. What is acceptable and not acceptable. Now, for the purposes of this, I am going to define "Absolute Morality" as " ( Read more... )

 "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man" - 'Deep Thoughts' from Saturday Night Live

I don't want to say this is stupid, and defend the concept "Only real men cry" which is the same as "Real men wear pink". I can respect someone who can cry without fear of ridicule from others, but really, most of the time ( Read more... )

Lifetime is short compared to the time the earth has existed in
Earth's lifetime compared to that of the great universe
Equally short, our images of the world that we populate
Die harder, our fate and our images
Seen through our eyes might well be lies

  "Werewolves? Where? Wolves? Men that are wolves? Many wolves. Everywhere. Many men. That is enough for M'Aiq." - M'Aiq the Liar

I know someone that is a werewolf. Well, they're not actually a werewolf. They have the delusion they are such. As a skeptic, my job is not to disbelieve something, but rather, to try and believe, and look at the ( Read more... )

  I am going to define a word that I will be using:

Fractal Wrongness (n) - Where any aspect of your world-view, upon any amount of inspection, is found to be just as wrong as your entire world-view. The beliefs at any resolution and magnification are found to be just as wrong as the entire world-view.

I encountered someone like this the other day ( Read more... )

 Thought I'd post some of my lyrics from my muical project, Northorn. To put these into some sort of context we are Celtic and Nordic folk metal, and write songs about Saxons and Celts and such. I'd post more than "Ancient Rocks", but I don't think anyone who reads this blog could appreciate them. That's not a snide comment about them, but they ( Read more... )
