Okay, so I'm watching this documentary hosted by Ben Stein about "Intelligent Design" and he is against evolutionism.
I love how the people are saying "oh, I don't believe in creationism, I believe in intelligent design. There is a big difference."
Okay, what's the difference?
"Uh.............we don't necessarily name the higher power 'god'."
Great. Same fucking thing.
And then they go on to explain how darwinism is related to nazism. WTF?!
YOU CANNOT GO AROUND CLAIMING THINGS ARE RELATED TO NAZISM JUST BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE FAIRY TALES INSTEAD OF SCIENCE!
Geez... So aggravating. I'm not completely atheist, but I definitely don't line up behind an idea where you say "A wizard God did it" when you don't understand something.
Seriously, they are talking about darwinism and showed pictures of tanks and men with GUNS guarding buildings being portrayed as governmental buildings. I wonder what they are trying to portray?
Penn and Teller would have a field day with this documentary.
I think Penn, Teller and I should be best friends.
Another random update: Kaz ran up a tree last night and couldn't get down. It started raining and he decided being rained on was more scary than being stuck up a tree. So he came down. Silly kitty. I love that goof ball.
I want to play Left 4 Dead...

Here are things that have changed since I last updated:
1. Ryan and I are still happily married. Our anniversary party is this Saturday. He is my best friend in the entire world, and I love him more and more every day. He really is the best. :)
2. Ryan and I adopted another kitty into our home last September. His name is Kaz and he is kind of mean, but we still love him. And he loves us. He expresses his love for us through destroying things and beating up the other cats.
3. We moved into Patti's house because we are very poor (that's my mother-in-law).
4. I got laid off in May and I LOOOOVE IT!
5. I have 3 classes left to take and then I'm done with college!
6. I found out I love computer programming and decided I will try my darndest to get into it after I graduate.
7. I listened to the King James New Testament Bible and am now Agnostic.
Alright, well that's it for my update for this year. I shall leave you all with a parting gift. Here is one of my school projects from this semester. It's pretty funny, so hopefully you'll get a kick out of it:

So Ryan and I got married in our living room last Friday. It was just us, my friend Josh from work (playing the role of the photographer), his roommate Erin (Reverend Erin, she is ordained online), and our friends Tina (Best Man) and Gram (Maid of Honor).
It was sort of kick ass.
And now my name is Christina Myers!

So, Ryan and I will not be getting married in August. We decided that we hate the idea of a wedding and are instead going to go to Vegas whenever we want.
I haven't had Internet/TV for over a month now. I don't miss the TV, but I do miss the Internet. It's so...useful.
That is all. |

The cats are driving me fucking nuts. They are coo-ing at each other because they are horny. Only they are both girls. So one coos at the other thinking they are going to get some action and then other thinks that they are being hit on so they coo back, and then the other coos in response to that, which causes the other to coo again and this goes on until they realize "oh wait, we are both girls", only that point of the coonversation takes about 20 minutes of constant cat annoyance.
3 months and Ryan and I will be married. It's crazy and fun and exciting and stuff. We are going to have the wedding off the island now, and just use the island as our honey moon. We ran into some recent financial setbacks and decided it's for the best. Now our wedding will cost only a few thousand, which is a lot better than being in debt because of it. Plus it will be nice and we can invite our friends now. And Mackinac Island won't be ruined by having to actually do stuff while we're there.
In other news... the cats finally stopped. Three day weekend!!! AND I get paid for Monday!!! That's the first paid holiday in my entire life (and hopefully more to come).
If you or anyone you know can do Visual Basic on Excel and is awesome, I need help making a macro... just throwing that out there. Nothing ventured nothing gain.
Speaking of venturing, where is the remote?

Ok , so here's what's up...
I am still loving my job, I kind of got some recognition for some Excel stuff, and what have you. I got a $50 gift card out of it, and some respect and stuff.
Besides that, nothing else is going on... I am really sick right now though. Fuckin bronchitis...
The Fountain is a fucking fantastic movie.
Alright, I need to get some sleep and hopefully feel better so I can go to work tomorrow. Screw germs and stuff... Current Mood:  sick |

I got a job at MPI. I don't have to deal with bullshit minimum wage with pointless work anymore. I get 17 days paid vacation a year, 8 paid holidays, overtime, benefits, $1.30 raise an hour from what I used to be making and room for advancement.
Fuckin' yay. Current Mood:  happy |

Well, today in SOC we talked about Durkheim and his social facts stuff. I've learned it all before, but it's taken on a new meaning....he talks about socialization and integration, and I think I'm starting to realize that really no thought or anything that I do is truly my own decision or action. It is all shaped by someone else's ideas which created a society that has molded and shaped me into whatever I am. I mean, I may be writing down how I *feel* right now, but who taught me the words to "express" this? Who taught me to even think about what I'm thinking about right now? I suppose that would be a combination of Durkheim and my professor and all the other professors that have taught me sociology.
I mean, when you really get down to it, I do not have a single original thought... All my thoughts and feelings and morals and ethics and values and plans and emotions were taught to me from billions of different places, experiences, and people. But nothing is truly my own thought. And as such, nothing I do is done under my own free will... I mean, if free will is the sense that I am able to choose between two things then I suppose that I have free will. HOWEVER, where did the "choice" come from?? In order to make a choice between two things you must have learned about or been forced to make a decision. It all builds on itself, without other influence there are no choices which means there is no way to exercise said "free will". So without these outside forces outside of the control of free will, there would be no free will, and since they guide our choices and what we do and don't think about the ultimately determine our decisions, there really isn't any free will.
My professor said she debated with a colleague about the fact there really is no "Free will". He said, "well, I decide whether or not I brush my teeth, I decide and that's free will". So she replied "Well, yes you can choose to brush your teeth or not, but you really must ask yourself how you know you need to brush your teeth in the first place". You can't make a decision and exercise free will without first being taught something that you'd need to make a choice about, and that choice is influenced by the same outside forces that bring about the choice in the first place.Current Mood:  contemplative Current Music: South Park |

to tell everyone I'm in fact a lesbian. And that I think I'm going to leave Ryan for my BFF Crystal
Well played Crystal, well played... This is just the sort of behavior I'd expect from a sore loser. But don't worry, I forgive you. It's not your fault you suck at spoons. |

I was going to get someone to photoshop this picture for me, but then I remembered I'm handy at MS Paint, so I decided to give it a whirl. It turned out better than I thought it would.
Enjoy!
For any of you out of the loop, this is poking fun at celebrity Scientologists Will Smith, Tom Cruise and John Travolta. L. Ron Hubbard was the founder of Scientology (and when I say "founder" I mean the guy who made up the entire thing to get assloads of money, and boy did it work...unfortunately he's too dead to appreciate it all), thus the "Hubbard's" Angels in place of "Charlie".
