Pre-destionation.
This one is on a more serious note, I have always had trouble with the whole "pre-destionation"
thing. everybody tells me "well, pre-destionation does not exist. God gives us free will." Really?
so how about this. If God knows even the numbers of the hairs on our head. Then he must be able to see into the future, right? So if he can see into the future then he knows the decisions we are going to make. If he knows how we will react to a situation then how do we have "free will"
most people comment on that with "well he doesn't make the chioce for you." No he doesn't, but when he knows what we are going to do, it does not give us the ability to change our mind. Because then we will have pulled a fast one on God, and as you all know that is not possible.
I guess I am throwing this out there hoping for sombody to proove me wrong but no one I know has convinced me yet. The most common response is: "Some things just can't be explained. You should just drop the subject." and I have done just that...until now because I mus t admit it still bugs me sometimes.
I might post a rant later.
Alpha.
Okay here is the rant I just got a phone call (I'm at work by the way.) From some guy, I answered the phone by stating the name of the company,then my name, and threw in a "how may I help you?" just because I am a nice guy. His question threw me off though he asked me if we were open. Uhh.. no I mean is this a trick question or or you that stupid? "No I'm just here because I sleep under my desk (of which I have none.) and uh eatin' some twinkies, So if you want to come down and share a few with me I guess I don't mind...Some people.
I used to work at a fast food/family resturaunt a couple of years ago, and I got this call from some guy (probably the same one) who asked me if we sell "Hot Food"...as opposed to?
"No this is a B.Y.O.M. resturaunt. (bring your own microwave) what a jackass. I swear theese people just sit around thinking up creul ways to insult the working class, while they sit o the crop of our hard work because they are on welfare and have nothing better to do.
maybe I should start doing that, because hey! It's okay to be somebody else (look at the comments on the post were I talk about T-shirts from wall-mart.)
Another thing. Whats with all the gothic people "All is for naught, the only thing certain in life is death, and oh how my soul longs for the grave." shut the hell up. You have not even come close to seeing the worst this world has to offer. The thing of it is, is that theese kids are some rich senators kids who have more than they deserve so to repay their debt to society they become goth. Then they start posting their crappy depressing poetry on some forum. and everyone loves it. All of them are so intoxicated with the fascination of being depressed.
their comments on life are like fingernails in a chalkboard. "My soul mourns and long. for the day when I will be no more." and stupid crap like that. You know what buddy so does mine, how much longer do I have to listen to this? Ok you know what wipe that black nail polish and white make up off of your face (and hands.) and shut up for one second and listen to the birds chirp, or the bubbling brook. That in it's self is something not to be depressed about. and I don't want to here "Yeah well, everything tends toward disorder. Those bird are weeping because they know they don't have long bef-"
You are a dumb ass quit hiding behind your fake curtain and call a spade a spade. Yeah I'll admit this life can be a pretty hard place to live in, but that is no reason to hide behind a false identity.
And for all of you who are not gothic, and sitting there nodding your head like a judgemental asshole... you are no better thats right we all hide behind something at one point in time it might be working out, eating junk food, locking yourself up in your room, acting like a tough guy,you could even be like that free-thinker guy who hides behind "being some one else" Then there is me I hide Behind sarcasim and smart assy jokes when I am out of my comfort zone. So the moral of this story is...um...quit overamping the crappy things that happen in this life and be happy that you are more than most things o this earth... for instance a French person.

Zelda!
This is going back to one of my previous posts. I am going through The Legend Of Zelda 3: A Link To The Past. I'll say it is pretty sweet! and yes, it is the same old stuff, but it never gets old.
The opening quest is non other than saving Zelda. But, the old school-ness of it is pretty cool.
On another note; I got a bunch of old snes-roms like, the old Final Fantasy games except for one problem. They are in Japanese that sucks. But I can't complain for the reason of bashing the english vioce-over for the movie.

New Link!
Ok. So what I put a new link on here. This guy is one of my bestest friends ever, but the thing of it is, is that he is kind of lazy (or it's because he can't get on the computer at home because of family members.) about posting on his blog. Yet I assure you that when he does, it is poetic... or it will piss ypu of and you will never visit his or my blog ever again, but that is a risk I am willing to take.
Omega! I'm sticking my neck out for you man, don't let me down.
More to come later, maybe.

E=TL3?
Okay so I'm at work the other day, and some guy walks in and says "I have a UPS package with a pre-paid label." I replied "ok go ahead and bring it in." So the guy brings it in with some brown paper, then proceeds by wrapping the box in the paper. I told him UPS does not want packages wrapped in paper because the labels get torn off in transit. He replied "Oh bullshit. It's just as good as a box." At this point I said nothing,waited untill he was done wrapping it. Then with my pinky finger I said "Observe."
I ripped off all the brown paper with my pinky finger trying to show this moron that it was quite simple to do so. He was livid. I said "did you see how easy that was?" He said nothing but, "you just lost a costomer!" I calmly replied "you were just going to drop this off and not spend any money, so how does that make you a customer? Oh and by the way UPS is only open from 4:30 to 6:30."
Then he stormed off never to be seen again. (Thank God.) People like that really piss me off. Dude I do this stuff every day, which really only prooves that I need to get a life, but I should at least get the benefit of the doubt that I know what I'm doing.
That would be like having Albert Einstein's weed trimmer come up to him in his study and say "Uh... M-Mister Einstein... Shouldn't it be E=TL3?"
Einstein relies "Can you even read lawnmower man? E=MC2."
Then quickly lawnmowerman says... "Oh bullshit. It's just as good as E=MC2!"

It all just sounds the same.
Many people ask me "why do you listen to secular music?" Well, to be quite frank almost all the new Christian bands sound alike. Made up of three to four guys with the same boring chord progs. and the same crappy vocal harmony. I have found myself wondering why there anren't any Christian groups who do sweet prog rock or jazz. The answer always leads to: Well, that is because most christian bands don't do drugs before they start writing/composing. I have decided to commit to play better music without "chemical help".
I know you are out there Omega. Would you agree? (Oh wait. We already make sweet free-styleness, who cares if nobody gets it.)
More on this to come.

Like Lost Sheep.
As I was wandering through Wallmart the other day I was overcome by a blinding rage. (Not to mention the fact that I had a blistering headache, so I was already grumpy.) I looked around and everybody was wearing 1 of 5 t-shirts. they were:
AC/DC, (I mean for real who even listens to them any more, well besides those of you with a mullet and a beer gut.) The Rolling Stones (I think Mick Jagger broke a hip bone at the superbowl.) Pink Floyd ( I like theese guys despite the fact taht a friend pointed out "they're too whiny.") Jimi Hendrix (Everybody likes him right? or is it just the fact that he laced his bandana with acid before a show. Right. So why are you wearing his shirt you musically un-cultured mook?) And last but not least Johnny Cash (Dude. Give me a break did you even listen to his music before you found out that Jacuin Phoenix was gonna play as him in a movie? Then after you didn't watch it, and your friends told you how good it was, you rushed to the nearest wall-mart and picked up a t-shirt for 12.99)
When will people just be themselves?

Living in an 8-bit, two demensional world.
The title says it all . That would suck. Poor Mario & Luigi. Think about it... that really wouldn't be fun. Imagine going out for a walk, when a gust of wind kicks up and you end up in Venice. (Or some other random place.) Which brings me to my next point. I work in a place that sells and builds boxes. People come in all the time with the wrong dimensions, or openly admit that they don't have clue. Those kind of people don't bother me at all. Its the jack-ass that comes in and thinks he knows what he is doing,"I need a box" ok here it comes...yup he pulls out a piece of paper. "The dimensions are 20 X 20" and then proceeds by giving me this expecting blank stare.
Of course in my mind I reply with "hold on Mega Man, let me go get you a piece of cardboard."
When really I say "Well, what is the third dimension?" ...Another long blank stare. "Well I never really thought about that." Thank you captain obvious. Thus we enbark on a long drawn out non-hepful description on what is going in the box,who it came from, where it came from, who's nephew it's going to, and how the person got the item. Then the end result after 20 minutes of discussion the person says "You know it's out in my car, why don't i just grab it?"
Then I enbark on the adventure of finding my "Happy Place." In that place I am Master Chief a (3-D character) in the Mushroom Kingdom (a 2-D village) blowing everything in sight up on a rampage of destruction on everything two-dimensional.
Think about that one people.

My deepest apologies.
I have no rant for you today. I guess it is the result of a long weekend,and the fact that I am pretty brain dead at the moment. Maybe I'll have one later, you know like when I wake up.

Hooray For Google!
The Department Of Justice requested a log of Google's search results, so they could see how well filters for keeping children off of pornagraphic websites are working. Yes they mean well, but that is just another breach of privacy. Don't get me wrong I absolutly despise the porography industry, and the grip of death it has on the average person. I wish we could rid the internet of that, but that is just me. I commend Google for going to court for this one.
Keep up the good work guys!
I will post my rant of the day later.
