I finally went to see Iron Man with my sister and I thought I would share a few thoughts on the film ( Read more... )

Somebody hired me today for a position at a restaurant, I start next Friday. Not the most high-end of jobs, but I hate office work and the like anyway, I much prefer something that requires a little physical activity.

I've changed the way I organize my LJ friends. Before I set it up so that I had a different filter for friends I met in different places. The problem with that is it created so many categories that it become a little difficult to really sit back and go through all of them, so I ended up getting lazy and haven't responded to more than a few in a ( Read more... )

Well tonight I was banned from the TSA's IRC channel, my place of hangout for about a decade. The reason is, to put it simply, that the admins decided that it was against the rules for me to discuss politics in any way shape or form, once they decided that I figured it was only a matter or time. I'm not going to go into anymore detail beyond ( Read more... )

As it happens, I'm actually quite a fan of social contract theory. For those that do no know what a social contract is, it basically means that in nature humans have unlimited rights, but when we become a part of society we give up some of those rights in return for other rights, and for justice.

I've decided tonight that before the summer of 2008 ends, I am going to bike from my home to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Round trip the journey should take over 200 miles, largely because I'll have to use a lot of back roads in order to reach a road that takes me into Yellowstone that is also bike-able.

Because this is the primary duty of any Government, the moment it is incapable of doing this I feel ( Read more... )

Well, today is my Birthday. Kinda celebrated it a day early because my sister's friend is having her wedding today, and several family members are participating. Alas, while this should have been a good day, it really was not ( Read more... )

I've often wondered what humanity would look like in the future, assuming the world doesn't end soon. It's a daunting subject because it really depends on what humanity is going to, "do," in the future. However, I think I can narrow down the major upcoming human events that, "matter," to appearance. Namely, I believe that over the next thousand ( Read more... )

Digital CameraMy family has one, but it's kind of bulky and kind of old. It cost them 500 dollars when the bought it, but that was nearly five years ago and it just hasn't aged that well. As for myself, I would probably aim for something with a really high Mega Pixel count, and some zoom. Not something crazy like, 8 to 10x zoom, but, 2 to 4x ( Read more... )
