if you can't believe everything, should you really believe anything?

About Me

i go back and forth between feeling so in love with the world that i could explode into a million rays of light, and feeling so fed up and disappointed with the human race's constant inability to tolerate itself that i would not be in the least bit upset if the world nuked itself into oblivion. i feel like human bodies are magnificent machines each carrying around the most complicated computer ever conceived and to be alive and conscious is the deepest honor and privilege one could ever recieve. but so many people waste the beautiful gift they've been given and i am no exception. a shining hypocracy.. but then again, i've said that it's impossible to go through life without being a hypocrite. so what's next for mankind? evolution has shifted from physical to mental over recorded history. we learn more and more about ourselves and are in a unique position to have recorded our mistakes in the hopes of not repeating them. history does not in fact repeat itself. it is cyclical, but each cycle is carried out with the perspective of cycles gone by and therefore life itself is evolutionary and revolutionary.
eat a dick.

Wait, we're not allowed to be racist now?

Obviously the title is a little bit of an exaggeration, but I think that it makes a pretty accurate statement.  Apparently this Imus guy made a racist remark on the radio and got fired for it, an...

No one was supposed to know when the time would be. Yet Jean awoke in the stillness of the night, and lay for a moment staring at the ghostly glimmer from the ceiling. Then she reached out to grasp ...

Being alive..

"Compare life and death: the state of being alive to that of being dead.  One moment we are thinking, moving and feeling.  Cells are dividing, replacing dying ones with fresh recruits for li...
