On second thought, although nothing happened today, something interesting DID happen the other day.  So i was at a party, and of course there were girls there (thankfully).  I found myself strangely drawn to this girl.

What it was that i was so drawn to I’ll probably never know.  She wasn’t all that attractive, and she had braces and was wearing leg warmers, which, normally, i wouldn’t find that appealing.  However in this case, i found myself oddly attracted to her braced teeth and warm ankles… If only i had had a chance to talk to her… unfortunately i found myself vomiting and passing out on the cement (doing a nice face-plant maneuver) before i ever had the opportunity.  Will i ever find her and get to talk to her about the 80’s, i dont know… but maybe, just maybe, one of these days i will run into her again.

I have some cuts on my face after faceplanting on the cement.  I’ve decided recently that now that I’m back home in my spare time it’s about time i start making some youtube videos… so i’m going to get on that right away.  I’d also like to start selling R.Inc Merchandise… because that would be pimpin.

Nothing happened today… nothing at all.

How can we definitively say when life begins?  That’s a question that has plagued society for a long time now… and i address it and ask, can we really answer that?

Ok… so i’ve been thinking about abortion and christian viewpoints and atheistic viewpoints, so i tried to take the middle ground and look at it objectively without being influenced by my worldview. (note that this is concerning times when the mother’s life isn’t in danger, and when it’s not a rape victim, because those are HUGE topics… as is this… but anyways)

I believe that we all think murder is wrong. I also firmly believe we don’t KNOW when live begins or when it doesn’t begin.

So along these lines, no matter if you are christian or atheist, since we can’t definitively say when life begins, it would be best to err on the side of inerrency. Eliminating abortion would therefore make it so that there is no CHANCE we’re committing murder, something that is outlawed in every state, and in most of the world.

My belief that we don’t know when life begins comes from these facts:
a. because of genetics, we could take a bunch of fetuses and lay them together, then test them, and we’d know which species they belong to. SO since we could definitively tell that that baby IS human, no matter HOW it looks, then we can’t say it’s alive or not.

I’d say that atheists should be MORE against abortion than christians, and here’s why: Christians believe that we have a soul. The soul is what defines us, makes us “living” beings. SO we don’t know if you have a soul before birth. But Atheists don’t believe that we have a soul (most, at least), therefore, since something is human, they should be against it being killed.

Interesting thought at least… let me know what you think

*Edit* 11-27-09

And i just thought about another thing. Someone told me the other day that the only thing that think is wrong with killing people is the ties to other people in the world they have, which is just ridiculous.

For example, let’s say that someone has lost everyone in his family, no one knows him and he’s all alone, but not unhappy (like a Robinson Crusoe situation). So by their argument anyone could kill them if they wanted… but no one would think that’s right, so they would have to say that there is more to it as well, that humans have thoughts and feelings. But babies do have physical feelings, and as far as thought goes, thought would imply a mind, and if we don’t always have a mind then the mind must be separate from our body, which would therefore mean the mind is our soul (atypically mind and soul are considered the same, when thought of as separate from the body). And without the supernatural we couldn’t have a soul… so basically if you’re atheist your going to have to accept my first argument, that babies are living… or you can accept that we have a soul separate from our bodies… you decide

Here and Randomnessinc.com, we feel like we’re very sensitive to all causes out there.  It has come to our attention that duck rape is a serious problem facing ducks all over the world.  If you are not a drug using murderer, than you will definitely feel some compassion to ducks and support the cessation of this insidious operation.

Just think about the poor little lady ducks, being maliciously violated by those horrible man ducks.  It’s time to take a stand.  There are groups on facebook you can join (CAADRE), but we would like to take this a step further. Not only have we created that group (powered by randomness incorporated [R.INC.]), we are going to organize a protest at the Montana State University (MSU) Bozeman (B) Duck Pond (DP), the pond with the most Duck Rape Per Capita (DRPC) in the United States of America (USA).

We are not yet sure on the date of the Event, but we are debating it at the moment (ATM).  We will try to get the date settled as soon as possible (ASAP), and when we do it would be nice if you could Répondez S’il Vous Plaît (RSPV).

This is the face of Duck Rape:

It’s ugly… know it well.

A long time ago, in a far away land, there lived a great eagle named Ubequis Silas.  The eagle was proud creature, and the noblest of all of the animals.  He did what he pleased, and all were welcome to his house, for he treated all animals equally.

However, the other animals did not like the great eagle, and they envied his freedom.  They wished they could fly and have others look up to them.  Wherever he went he was despised, and when he flew over the frogs and lions below they croaked and roared and threw stones at him.

The eagle was saddened by this, but showed no animosity toward the other animals.  He was not sorry that he could fly.

The eagle lived on, and ended up having just one son, Freid.  The young eagle was a curious fellow, and looked up to his father. He dreamed of the day he too would take flight from their nest, and fly beside his father.

He had waited for a long time, and finally he was old enough to take his first flight by himself.  He flew from the nest and over the forest.

He flew wildly, marveling at the wonders he could see below him. Spotting a pond he decided to land and take a drink. He perched by the water and suddenly he became aware that someone was watching him, so he looked this way and that, and finally his eyes rested upon a frog.  The frog croaked and hopped over to the eagle.

“Bonjour, i have not seen you around this pond before, you are related to the great eagle, no?”  Croaked the frog.

“Yes I am!”  replied the eagle, “In fact, I am his only son.”

Upon remarking on this, the frog laughed and introduced himself.  As they talked, soon a small crowd of animals began to appear.  A raccoon, a squirrel, a badger, and a snake all gathered around him, and started talking with him.

Suddenly the frog asked, “Why is it that you fly?”

The eagle was taken back, and didn’t know how to answer the question. He thought for a second, and replied, “I suppose I fly because I enjoy the freedom it brings.”

The frog made a strange noise, sounding like “oh hogh hogh,” and said, “but flying is outdated!  You don’t see me or any of the other animals flying, do you?  We see great results from crawling, hopping, and slithering.  Also, it’s bad for our environment, you flying above us raining droppings on our heads and dirtying our forest.”

The eagle looked at the animals and thought for a second.  He then replied, “you know, i guess i never thought about it that way before.”  He began to feel very apologetic for how his family had flew all these years, mindless of the animals below them.

The animals chuckled, and the frog spoke again.  “I suppose you fly because your fathers did, and they told you that it was the best way to travel. Your father is old, though, and behind the times.  Now days, everyone is traveling by foot.”

The eagle couldn’t argue with their logic, it did seem like all the other animals were right.  He then thought about his father, and realized that he was pretty old, and probably behind with the times.

The frog continued, “we actually have a committee of representatives for all creatures, and we’d love for you to join us.  We work to protect the rights of all creatures, and are fighting to prevent war and hatred.”

It sounded reasonable to the eagle, so he decided to join the group.  After all, their intentions were noble, and he felt that all animals should be treated fairly, in fact even his father had said that same thing.

Upon agreeing all the animals cheered, and hailed it as a step forward for all creatures, having the eagles represented. After the cheering had died, the squirrel spoke up.  “Eagle, my name is Sasha Lissim, and we are all very glad you are joining this group, but as we are a group helping all creatures, all creatures represented in the group must give us some small things.”

The eagle nodded and agreed that that was fair.

The squirrel continued, “Since you are a new member, we won’t require anything great from you, we simply require a few feathers. Of course you have to give them, so that we can give them to animals less fortunate than you.”

A snake nearby added, “Hey eagle, I’m Gou Dentantions, and we will need to clip your talons and beak, just so that you do not unintentionally hurt us or others.”

The eagle was more than happy to give them some feathers, seeing as he had a good supply of them, and he rarely used his beak and talons, so he was okay giving them up too.  A few clips and it was over with, and the animals decided to have a celebration.  They feasted all night long; it was the greatest celebration the eagle had ever seen.  And after a night of drinking and merrymaking, the animals slowly began making their way home.  They bid their farewells to the young eagle and went on their way, and before he knew it he was the last animal remaining, and it had gotten late.

He decided that it was past time to be getting back home, so he spread his wings and leaped off the ground.  He flapped for a second and then plummeted back to the ground, bouncing a few times in the dirt.  He shook his head in bewilderment, then leaped a second time.  He again flopped to the ground, and he continued flapping his wings and jumping for a while.  It was strange, and he couldn’t understand it.  Finally, he gave up flying and decided that he could walk.  The rest of the animals walked, so it would be good for him to start being like the other animals.  In fact, he resolved that he would walk from now on.  He wasn’t going to be like his old father.
He began walking through the forest, hopping along joyfully, and marveling at how nice it was to be walking.  Never before had he seen the forest like this, and it was indeed pretty beautiful and interesting.  As he walked, however, he again felt eyes following him.  He stopped and looked around, and out of the bushes a strange creature appeared.

“Hi there,” said the eagle, nervously eying the strange creature.  The creature remained silent and stared at him, so the eagle stuttered, “Hi… I’m Freid the eagle, what is your name?”

The creature approached him, and then uttered “My name is Teara Ny, the fox.”

The eagle, feeling strangely uncomfortable and frightened, quickly replied.  “Well, it’s nice to meet you, but it is very late and I must be getting home.  I have a long walk still ahead of me.”

The fox gazed at him intently, then snarled and lunged.

Freid tried to dodge his attack but was unable to, and soon the creature had pinned him down.  Freid tried to scratch him with his talons, and peck him with his beak, but realized that they were worthless now.

The fox was about slash his throat, when Freid let out a loud shriek.

The fox stumbled back a bit, covering his ears.  The eagle continued shrieking, and the fox was rendered helpless for a short time. Unfortunately the fox was canny, so he covered the eagle’s mouth.

He was again ready to kill Freid, but out of the sky a blurred object plowed into the evil fox, and slammed him to the ground.  Freid’s father had been looking for him, and heard his shriek.  He came down with a righteous anger and broke the legs of the wicked fox.  No longer would he terrorize the weak.

The great eagle then wordlessly picked up his son, and flew him home to their nest.  When they finally reached home, the young eagle told his father his story, of the frog and the other animals, of their committee, and of the wicked fox.

On hearing the story, the great eagle remarked, “Son, the animals simply envy us eagles, for we fly, and since they know they will never fly, they would like to bring us down to earth and strip us of our wings.  No matter what happens, never let an animal tell you that you’re doing something wrong simply because you’re the only one doing it.”

From that point on, the eagle soared above the clouds, right next to his father.  They still invited the other animals to come visit them in their nest, and occasionally Freid would peek out and see a frog staring at their home, and a couple squirrels twitching their tales as they walked nearby, but no one was ever bold enough to come and join them.

The end.

I am tired of today’s society.  Never before has there been a society so full to the brim with selfish people looking for immediate gratification… what ever happened to charity and giving expecting nothing in return?

What happened to modesty, and integrity?  Honesty, philanthropy, and a sense of community?  There were days when people knew their neighbors, and perhaps they could trust them and even go next door to borrow some sugar, but those days are gone.  Now we have a society of ingrates, unappreciative of the sacrifices the last generations have made for our well-being.  We strive to change our nation and take away what makes it different and unique. We want to be like other countries, spreading the wealth and punishing people for success, and quite frankly, i’m sick of it.  It doesn’t take a genius to see that those beliefs are archaic, and unacceptable in our age.

It’s time for people to wake up, and realize that YES, we ARE all equal, and money does NOT make anyone better than another person.  You can’t put a price on life, so we can’t say how much someone is worth in dollars and cents, it’s just sickening.

However, we don’t all make the same amounts of money, and we don’t all do the same thing.  In our country we have the opportunity to change our stripes and work extra hard to end up succeeding like the rich people today, but most people aren’t willing to put the effort required into their work.  It’s not a big deal, if you gave up 10 years of your life to make 40 million dollars that you rarely have enough time to actually enjoy, and only manifests itself in expensive foods and housing, then more power to you.  I hope you’re happy.  Myself, I’m willing to make sacrifices so that i can delay immediate gratification, but i’m not willing to sacrifice my life and youth for that.

In a time when everyone wants to be nonconformists, there is a dreadful amount of conformism going around.  Everyone must wear name brand clothes, the newest fashions and drive the newest model cars.  You need to go to college and get a degree and wife/husband so you can live happily ever after.  THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO TO BE HAPPY.  Hybrids are a sign that you are environmentally friendly.  You MUST protect the environment and value it above your own life or even that of your family.  Perhaps we’re not there yet… but just you wait.  Buy this and you’ll get be more attractive, that will make you HAPPY.  hAPPy hapPY HapPy.

You know what, everyone’s looking for happiness, i’ll tell you how to find happiness, it’s a simple thought, and it’s older than the hills.  Be CONTENT with what you have and where you are.  Stop and smell the roses.  Get rid of the clutter in your life.  It’s time to remove stressful things from your life.  Turn off the T.V. and throw your electronics out the window.  Stop texting all the time, it’s really not that cool.  GET OFF FACEBOOK.

Now as far as the government goes, i’d love to change myself from Republican to Independent, but if there’s one thing i can’t stand, it’s my personal decisions given a political slant by a party.  I want to avoid party politics, not fuel them.  People are raving about how the GOP is dying and blah blah blah, the GOP may be dying, but the democratic party is shriveling up along side of it.  Party politics are DISGUSTING.  Ya, perhaps the Republican party shares some of the same values i do, a good amount of the Republican people i would end up voting for (*cough* McCain *cough*) are almost as bad *cough* McCain *cough* (sometimes worse) than the alternative… for that reason, i would like to be a moderately conservative Independent…. but i just. cant. do. that.

You know what?  I’m a happy person, and the beautiful thing about politics is that no matter what happens to our country, and how i see people collectively flushing our freedom and uniqueness down the toilet, I will remain pretty darn content.

Here is what i believe the U.S. should do (and there are a lot of beliefs out there people, i’m sure mine are not flawless).  Instead of increasing government spending with the intent to get us out of debt, lets cut governmental spending AND taxing to the bare minimum.  No more bailouts, no more stimulus packages, no more bouncy castles for disaster victims.  It’s time to rely on the charity of good people to help out others, and believe me, when you don’t rely on the government to pay for your life, people will either buck up and do what they have to do, or starve.  And for those people who really truly can’t do anything, then it’s the job of their community (it takes a village… right? <— i hate it when you want to do a smiley in parentheses]  to help them out.  Legalize marijuana, and let business owners decide whether to allow smoking in their establishments.

People are begging us to get our troops out of Iraq, and basically no one appreciates the U.S. anymore, so let’s do it.  Get our troops out of foreign countries where we are no longer welcome.   IT’s time to stop policing the world and start policing our nation and getting the stick out of our own eye.

CUT spending.  CUT CUT CUT.  It’s time to realize people can live off of less, and so can our government.  Nuff said.

Kick the bums out of office, it’s time to clean house.

Start encouraging progress and competition instead of discouraging it by punishing people who make money and run businesses.

Reform the school system so that teachers are encouraged to work hard. Offer vouchers to parents wishing to school their children privately (which in turn would make public schools strive to be more competitive).

Things for groups to think about:

Christians:  stop fighting to bring christ “back” into schools, i don’t think teachers of today should be trusted to teach about deep philosophical truths and questions of supernatural nature when they barely understand math.

Atheists: take the chip off your shoulders and realize that us true christians are not trying to control you or tell you what to do.  You are free to do whatever you please just so long as it doesn’t effect other peoples’ well-being.

Media: stop being ridiculous.

Texting: (i want to put this some way texting can understand)… crl up and die plz lol

Political Parties: think about the country for once, instead of yourselves.

Liberals: Realize that right now equality is doing pretty darn good in this country, and yes, a good amount of that is due to you.  Also realize that an equal amount of the trouble we’re in right now can be put on your shoulders.

Conservatives: Yes… you are strong in your morals, but realize you (we) don’t understand everything about how the world works.  It’s time to listen to what democrats and liberals have to say, and try to see it their way.  Also realize that an equal share of our troubles can be put on your shoulders.

Nazis, hate mongers, bigots, racists, and Reverend Wright: please find your way to a Dharma initiative recruiting office ASAP, so you can be sent to an island that travels around and has a big scary monster thing on it.

EMOs: grow up.

Bloggers:  lol… nobody really cares (most of what i write is for my own entertainment).

Socialists: Please realize that the U.S. is one of the last free countries in the world, and that as such we offer actual potential to our inhabitants.  If you do not like this, i suggest you make great haste to France, or another country of that nature.

Nobel Peace Prize Giver-outers:  really?  o.O

ANYWAYS, i’m done ranting… kinda all steamed out.  If you’ve read this far, i applaud you.  1337 words of sheer brilliance.

A hookah is a pipe with which you smoke flavorful tobaccos (and not weed) from.  To smoke weed from a hookah is quite frowned upon… and actually pretty rude.  Let’s get together and smoke some hookah.

Right now I want to run away to a land where you can climb up rainbows and live in the clouds. Wouldn’t that be marvelous? Then everything would be cheery and simple because you would only have the wind, sky and seagulls to bother you.

Okay, so my emo moment just passed. Hyperness is setting in because I just ate beans, rice and about 4 cookies. I can’t wait to get back to Pambrun and eat Canadian food. Ethnic food is great, but I sort of miss having rice every once in awhile versus every other meal.

This blog was lame. What’s hookah?

Wow… these past few weeks have been insane!  Dropping out of college, looking into building my own business, reading up on trademarks and other things… it’s intense stuff.

Not much else going on other than that though.  I’m going to be moving back to my hometown soon, living the dream there.  Not sure if i want to move back into my parents place or not… i’d probably rather move into a place in the actual city and avoid the conflicts that inevitably arise from moving back in with your parents when you’re an adult.  I have a cousin and some friends there who i could probably live with, so that would be good.

Right now I’m in Winnipeg staying with a family from Sudan! Yippieee! What a blast. Riding the city bus to class and back every day has been quite an adventure… I haven’t got lost yet, but I’ve seen some pretty unique people.

Today’s Remembrance Day, so all the stores I wanted to hit up downtown were closed. Dang. There was a sweet Comic Book store I wanted to see. Tomorrow…

You know what’s funny? Men. Why, you ask?………………… They just are. Enough said.

I had an urge to buy some cigars today. I don’t know what’s gotten into me… I just want to try a cigar really bad. Maybe someday when I’m old and already overtaken by cancer. I’ll light one up and reminisce over my youth.

I had a muffin today and DAAANG, what a muffin she was. Every bite was succulent and satisfying. Banana-chocolate chip, she was. Now she lies in the pit of my belly, withering away in a lake of acid. ‘Tis a good death.

You know what else I’ve been urging to do? Get a tatt. Seriously, I want one. What a rebel! I thought of a lip piercing too, but I think that would be a tad scandalous in the eyes of my grandparents. Therefore I shall refrain.

So I have a paper that’s over a week late. However I have no motivation to complete it… mehhhh.

THE END.

PS- Canadian healthcare is okay for the most part, but for some people they are on waiting lists for certain treatments that are so long they actually suck it up and pay for treatment in the States.
