Still Lost

I woke up today at 730am. I started watching Lost. I haven't moved. Its 21 hours later. I stopped for a few hours to talk on the phone and I did take a shower. This has to stop. 90% of the show is stupid. Its that other 10% that keeps you awake.

Lost

Everyone talks about this show Lost. Its all the rage. Everyone says "if you like Heroes, you will love Lost". I was talking to a pal of mine who lives in Mexico and she says every week she goes to an internet cafe and downloads the new episode. So I decided to start. I bought the pilot on iTunes last week. Today I finish season one. Should I buy season two or fight the urge and try to pace myself so when season 4 comes I have just finished season 3? I can't wait til noon today so I can have a beer. Rock the fuck on day off. Mary, your good beer is here. Not there.

:-)

Hi Mary.

The answer: 4 way stop signs

I was at a stop sign, I looked both ways a few times. I pulled out and WHAM!! I'm fine, cept for the broken car, deductable and failure to yield ticket. Her, shes fine too, or at least that's what she said. Her car.... not nearly as fine as mine. Drive bigger cars people.

I am ashamed.

So I was scouring the internet and ended up at http://www.atheists.org/media/05032007.wmv

let me just say that I got really pissed off. I spent a good while at atheists.org after watching that and I just wanted to punch some people in the face. Instead I wrote an email to people at atheists.org. Mom, I'm sure you'd be proud.

Hi there,
Membership to an organization promoting a belief at a fee. My mother does that. She calls it tithing. I am as strong an atheist as any other. I am very firm and passionate about what I believe. I am quick to inform others that I have chosen a path that does not involve a supernatural being or idea. I feel a little saddened at the way that your organization approaches atheism. You say that hands doing is far more useful than a mouth praying. I agree. I would like to supplement that with hands doing are far more useful than mouths complaining and arguing. Yes, I too am a little bothered that my money says "In God We Trust" and that when I sneeze people say "God bless you" but I am also bothered that there are people who share my same ideals that have organized, chosen a figurehead and accept money based on disputing religious beliefs. I am ashamed that there are people who are making a living off of financial offerings from other atheists. Maybe you can justify it with your fight to keep church out of schools or out of the government. Maybe you think that every time someone speaks of a god in a public place you need someone there to shut them down. I say this, you taking money to fight for freedom from religion is no better than them taking money to fight for it. It does no one any good to try and make this world belong to one type of belief. This isn't out world or their world. It's every one's world. If they believe in a god it is because they feel like they need to. It is because they can't take on the world alone. Don't set out to remove their hope.

As I navigate your website I feel as if you are looking down on others, making fun of them. I can only say this, at least when talking about us, Christians are compassionate and hopeful. They pray for and love you regardless of the fact that you don't share their faith. For so many reasons your website, articles, video clips and cause make me wish I had a friend in Jesus. Maybe so many atheists are ashamed to "come out of the closet" because they don't want to be associated with groups that make fun of prayer and unity, hope and faith. You want to live in a world where there is no pressure from anywhere to believe in a god while I am made even prouder of my atheism because I found it despite the world around me. Voltaire's famous quote "If God did not exists..." sums up my view on things perfectly. I do not believe in God but I am glad that certain people felt the need to invent him. If 85% of the country wants to believe that the ten commandments are the best guidelines to life, let them. The ten commandments never hurt anyone. The world can not handle the absence of God. America was founded on God. Freedom as you know it was founded on God. I don't want to know what would happen if the idea of God was removed from day to day life. I am happy just sitting back and living life as it comes to me. If now and then it comes in the form of someone persecuting me for my atheism, so be it. I am strong enough and smart enough to not let it bother me. I am logical enough to know that I do not need an imaginary friend and also to know that I don't want to think less of a person who does.

I am an atheist. Proud and strong. I do not need a card or certificate to prove or promote that. I wish you too could do without those things. Seriously, that video of your president on May 3, 2007, that makes me want to buy a bible. Shut her up.

Damn

I love The Office. I am totally fucking bummed the season is over. Heroes ends Monday and 30 Rock ended a few weeks ago. I have nothing to watch.

Two and a half years later

I've been in my apartment for a long time now. I went to the store yesterday and finally got a paper towel holder thing. Awesome. Makes a huge difference in my life. I also got a new coffee pot. This one holds way more coffee. I got some new clothes hangers. No more wire hangers people, not a fucking one. I got a crappy little tv stand for my bedroom too. My tv and printer have been sitting on the floor of my bedroom since I got my new tv last May. A year to get my tv off the ground. I got some 23oz beer glasses too. I am happiest about the paper towel holder.

I'm gonna learn how to type using the Dvorak keyboard. Google that ok. Once I learn it and I can do it all fast and perfect, I'm gonna rearrange the keys on my keyboard. That way NO ONE will want to use my computer.

Also, I got a new little widget that tells you what music I'm listening to. Same people, just updated software. Now you can listen to it too (if it has a play button beside the song title). How neat is that?

Get over your self

I've been geeking out about beer a lot lately. I want to start making my own at home. I read about how it's made all the time and I am constantly reviewing other beers. I am particularly interested in my favourite beers (duh) and like to read others opinions on them. That is fucking funny. Everyone out there likes to pretend they have billion dollar nostrils and taste buds. One retard even goes as far as to say a beer smells like grapefruit peels. When has this asshole ever peeled a grapefruit and separated the fruit from the peel and took notes on the differences in fragrance? I love the smell of good beer. I love the colour but I will be the very first to admit that most everyone who writes a review on a beer and says it smells like a peel is a retard. I like it when they say "it starts off with a strong malt flavour and quickly moves into a full hop aftertaste". Thats just dumb. Let me review a beer for ya...

It smells good, kinda fruity. It tastes very bitter and leaves a strong flavour of getting hammered. I sure am glad it taste like something other than Bud. Done.

stupid work

How many times in your life do you find your self in the Florida Keys? I'm in Key Largo right now. I got here last night at sundown and went right to work. Worked until 2am and then went to bed for 4 hours and went right into a hotel ball room. I won't go outside until after the sun goes down tonight. I have to wake up 7am to get back to the airport so I can fly right home. Thats stupid. I'm in a vacation wonderland and I won't even see daylight. Stupid. On the bright side, I got my computer back.

Beeeeer

I just dropped 43 bucks on beer. 6 12oz Hop Devil. 8 12oz Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, 22oz Ruination IPA by Stone and a 22oz Rouge hazelnut brown. Thats 18ish at about $2.30 a pop. Still half of what some retards pay for Bud Light at a bar. While the Rouge up online I learned that beer maniacs have built scales with numbers and everything for rating bitterness (IBU) and colour (lovibond). There are also ways to gauge density and another to measure how much of the sugar in has been fermented. I don't care what the numbers are I just love the way it tastes.... BUT an IBU of about 100 and lovibond of about 35. I feel smarter and better than you.
