About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Now that you are in my domain, feel free to entertain any delusions which make you feel better about yourself as a person. That's right - just let it all go... Feels good, doesn't it. As it turns out, reality is the only obstacle between yourself and happiness. Through willful self-delusion, you too can find meaning and purpose in the midst of your chaotic existence. Just be sure that you share the same delusion with millions of other people, or you will be declared clinically insane. But if millions of people share your delusion, this is known as religion.wow, that was bitter. i've been reading lots of dawkins lately, and i find myself hating people more and more as of late. no offense. i'm sure you're a lovely person. for me to poop on. it makes me angry that a minority of closed -minded individuals pretty much have the country by the reins. if you aren't pissed off, then you aren't paying attention. canada's looking better every day...
