| I hate Religion, Seriously.I do hate religion. I hate the idea of God, Jesus, saints, angels. Are they not just: Goblins, Fairies, Ogres, Dragons? You cannot prove their existence, and you cannot disprove their existence. I do not understand why people will put all their "faith" into something you can never experience the way humans experience. Humans have senses. There is no sense that helps us know Gods presence. The mind is a material. It is not Spiritual or Mysterious. Conscience is a function of the brain, just like math and drawing. I noticed how whenever someone sees something amazing they credit God. When they seem something bad they do not blame him. People also pick and choose what to take literally out of the bible. I do not mean to sound like an anti-feminist, but "Christians" do not take Genesis/Creation story literally, yet feminists seem to think it oppresses them. I think it just shows how gullible Christians are. They are told they will hear Gods voice or feel his presence. Well does the name Mother Theresa ring a bell? She had a "faith crisis". She said she heard no voice and felt no presence. She is a saints for Gods sake! (pun intended) Look it up I am not lying. Look it up on the TIME website its called Mother Teresa's Crisis Of Faith. I cannot believe Noah's Ark, how can a boat hold 10 billion species and then have them distributed so that the marsupials are in Australia and the monkeys are in the rain forest. The only evidence of Noah's Ark is in the bible. The only evidence. I do not see how people can say they are Christian if they do not take the bible as the literal word of God. If it says you have to put to death anyone who works on the sabbath day (which it does) you believe they should be killed. You believe Homosexuality is wrong. You also believe that the ends do not justify the means. So one person is not allowed to die for billions to live. I do not say I believe that photosynthesis creates plant energy and then say Trees don't produce oxygen. It is too contradictory. I also do not like how delicate religion is. You can degrade celebrities with horrid pictures and made up stories but you cannot say a bad thing about Jesus. Apparently he did not call himself a messiah or preach that he was divine in anyway. There were lots of Messiah in his time. Look up Apollonius of Tyana. He had a story that is very similar to Jesus. All religions say science has no say in religious going-ons, yet they would never doubt evidence that God or Jesus does exist. If God was proven to exist then they would applaud the evidence. They would condemn it if it was the opposite. I just think its truly disgusting. | | |
| Teahcers and TubesYeah so a couple of stories now. I bought a tube at Wal-Mart so I could hit the hills during spare. It got pretty crazy cause it was 5 people and 2 tubes. The tubes max weight is 120Lbs. They only cost $9 too! So I was pretty happy with that. I also had another episode with the teacher from the deep. She actually told us, while we were doing an assignment, that she did not care about spelling. She exaggerated saying that there is no point wasting 30 minutes on a word. She must think we are disabled or something! She said that if we hand in stuff late she has less time for herself and that it makes more work for her. She said she had to make new assignments for the people that didn't do the other ones. If she is so afraid she is not going to have time for herself just don't accept late shit! Just give them Zeros like every other god damn teacher! She makes herself stressed for no reason. She got angry because someone closed their eyes for a second. Anyway she makes me mad.

| Ouch my hand!I hurt my hand today. Hurt it good. I have auto first period. Usually I don't do much but I was asked to help move a tire changer so I said sure. I had one of my friends pushing the dolly underneath it while I was lifting the front. Now this thing is very awkward to lift. It has a large arm coming out of it used to hold the tires down or whatever. I pushed the arm out of the way so my hand could get a grip. As I was pulling on it to get the front up, the arm swung back. It slammed into my middle and index fingers of my left hand. It just hit the nail. My hand was stuck. I pulled on it and it didn't move. I reached around and pushed the arm off my fingers. This all happened in a split second. I looked at my fingers and the tips were getting dark. All of a sudden I started feeling really sick. My hearing started to go. I started to feel really weak. My teacher said to go over to the sink and run cold water on it. I knew i was really pale, I could feel it. I was struggling to stand at the sink, so I went inside the class to sit down. I tried to lay my head down but I still wasn't feeling great. I felt like passing out. The pain in my fingers was immense. They were now a shade of purple. It was suggested that I go to the office and get picked up. So I start walking there and I begin to feel much better. By the time I got there I was mentally alright but my hand still killed. I guess the moral of this story is keep your hands away from things that slam shut. It was so strange how I felt. I think my body over reacted to this whole thing. I mean it wasn't really that bad. I knew they weren't broken right away. It was not a nice feeling anyway. I am happy I didn't pass out, because my class is full of guys so I would have looked like a nancy. Although a big iron arm did slam my fingers, I think staying conscious was the right thing to do. Thanks body!

| From Chips to JobsI work at a gas station. Work has opened my eyes like I wouldn't have believed. If you told me I would learn so much more than pumping gas at a small town gas station I would have thought you were strange. But, everyday I notice these little things that don't make sense to me. I sometimes ask myself how people can have such little common sense. Here is an example: Gas prices go up. When it is night they are their lowest. This is a fact. I see it everyday. I see the same people day in day out putting in the same $10 every time . I can't help but say it is pathetic. Maybe they can't afford $20. Maybe they only have $10 on them. But when the radio is saying tomorrow's price will be 105.5 and the current price is 98.5 why not splurge a little? You get more liters for less money. It is a 7 cent difference. On a fill you can see that. On $10 you may not. I just don't see people take advantage of a situation. Why buy water for $5 today, when you can get it for $1 tomorrow? It just does not make sense to me. The other day I overheard a conversation between the cashier and the customer. We have a deal on Lays Chips: 2/$5. The lady was getting 1 bag of lays and another bag of something else. The cashier told her about the deal. She said it was too much money. I thought that was very dumb of her since her 1 bag of chips cost $3.41 after tax and the 2/$5 is 5.70 after tax. She would actually save just over a dollar if she bought 2. I watch this lady leave. She pulls out in a Lexus. For those who don't know a Lexus is a very VERY high quality and EXPENSIVE automobile. They are the same class as BMW, Mercedes, Audi and some may even say a Porche. To me this lady has no reason to complain about a dollar. I wanted to slap her. If she has to savor a measly dollar why doesn't she sell her $20,000 car? (this may not seem like a lot but this would be the price if the car was USED) People like this make me almost sick. I work my ass off and she complains about a dollar. I don't even complain about a dollar and I am getting $8.25 an hour. A dollar is about 1/8th of my hourly wage. I don't see how this could not make someone angry. I have seen many people who seem very soft and fragile. I don't mean like old woman fragile, I mean like I, a teen, could bully this adult. Like emotionally frail. I don't see how these people would last a day downtown or endure any kind or real hardship. These are the people who are pushovers. Then there are people who are so tough and hardened. People that work physically all their life. People who haven't stopped working since they were teens. These people are rough. They are the kind of people who were never given anything. I am sort of glad that my parents didn't give me every single thing I asked for, or let me do anything I want. I can do things myself. I learnt to be independent, to be self reliable. The kids who are given everything and don't have any kind of responsibility are the ones I think won't do very well in life. I know there is the odd person who does. But I don't think anyone can show me a person who is dependent and irresponsible that owns a company or is a millionaire. I find it kinda pathetic when people like can't climb ladders or change a light bulb. I know it's a joke but I know there has to be someone who doesn't know how to change a light bulb. I was lucky enough to have a dad that could show me useful things. Like fixing a door. Why do you think trades people get paid so much? It's because no one can do anything for themselves, or they just don't know how. They will pay through the ass for someone to do simple tasks for them. Imagine having to pay for someone to come and change your tire? The tools COME with the car. They are there but you don't know how to use them. Thats what I feel some of the people today have become. You may think that people who are in trades are dumb but they can actually fix their car if it's broken, or renovate their kitchen, fix their own plumbing, build their own house. These are things I think everyone should no. I don't mean to insult anyone but just educate yourself.

| Creature From The DeepI know everyone has someone they hate in their life. Everyone hates someone, and not everyone is liked. I have something that annoys me everyday and I can't do too much about it. Some people call it a Teacher. I just call it an annoyance. This teacher is my philosophy teacher. She isn't the worst teacher. She isn't the meanest teacher. She doesn't hate me. She doesn't pick on me. But I hate her. It's not a strong hate. Just like you may hate stubbing your toe. That is the kind of hate I have. It's bearable. I will explain why I hate this creature. She is the kind of person that is so happy that you get kinda sick around her. She has this attitude that makes you want to tell her to shut it. Here is an example. First of all I don't believe in God. She does. She always tells us that she could not experience a life without God and that he is wonderful bla bla bla. I mean this doesn't sound like much but it can get annoying. Here are a few things that have added to my hate. We had a lot of questions to do this past week for our new chapter. She gave us a large list. She was collecting the 2nd set of questions and asled us to have them ready. I knew the questions were in my binder. I just had to find them. She gets to me on her class list and asks me to hand them in. I just tell her I'm looking. She says "you better find them!". Usually I would just take the comment. But there was this attitude behind it. The attitude was saying "Hurry up! Now. Find it or I will be pissed." This is the kind of vibe I got. So I just put up with it. She then says she has a sheet of mine that doesn't have my name on it. I say "I almost always put my name on stuff". She says "Well I don't think you did!" With that same 'don't make me yell at you' attitude. I just don't know what is wrong with her. I told her I would come to check if it was mine. I get up to a high pitched wine of "NO! You sit there and find the other sheet!". So I do find it. My name was already on it by the way. I hand it in and look at the other sheet. It was mine. There was no name. I claimed it and she says "I told you!" You didn't have your name on it!". There is that rubbing it in attitude again. I wanted to punch her in the back of the head. I said I ALMOST ALWAYS put my name on things. Out of the whole time I have been in that class I only remember 2 times I didn't write my name on something. This was one of those 2. She also once said that we were bad students for not reading a whole chapter of our textbook in 2 days. She actually said this. One of my friends in the class immediately fought back with "I don't think I am a bad student for not reading 70 pages in 2 days". The chapter is 70 full pages. This is not a small book either. She went on saying that she 'didn't mean to hurt our precious little feelings' in a very sarcastic tone. She begins lecturing us on how she would read a chapter 'at least 5 times'. Thats 350 pages if she was reading the chapter in question. I put that statement in the bullshit pile. We started retaliating saying we still don't appreciate the insult. She said that she was offended that we took the comment that way. Then she goes on to say she is a easy marker and goes out of her way for us. They she says she has feelings too. WAIT A SECOND! Didn't she just say she didn't care for our feelings? She once said that one of the worst things about our society today is the amount of over indulgence we do. Let me say one thing. She is fat. Not to put down fat people but this statement points to herself. She basically said she was contributing to the bad part of our society. She says we indulge too much. She indulges in food. It would be like a smoker saying that smoking is ruining our society. She gives us a lot of group work to do. She assigns group work. We had a test and no one did very well. My friend Robby went up to her and told her the test was way to hard and some of the stuff we didn't learn. Her response was 'you did too much group work'. What can I even say? I'll translate her stupidity: 'It was my fault you didn't learn'. She insulted her own "teaching". At first she had good notes and good overheads. It seems she got lazy. She once said that 'if [we] don't hand in things on time it takes away from [her] family time. [She] can't have a social life if [we] don't hand things in'. She is so strange. She gets migraines, or so she says. I think these are self induced. She tells herself it's noisy or something is stressing her out. I seriously think she brings all this stress on herself and takes it out on students. She told us she had a learning disability. She is teaching a grade 12 university course. She has a learning disability. Why? Why is she here? These are questions I don't have the answers too.
