It's time to get goin
As much as I miss my Dallas peeps (and 4 legged critters), I can't help but feeling like I left a whole load of bull shit behind. I finally escaped a rut that ran back to September '07, and every shitting feeling I've had since I was 12. I had no idea how much that town was weighing me down....I feel...brand new...in a lot of ways. I've only sought a new beginning once before and that was for all the wrong reasons. For once in my life, I feel like I did the right thing--and it's actually paying off. "So please, please, please, let me, let me, let me, get what I want, this time."

Happiness is a fleeting feeling...One I haven't enjoyed often. But tonight, right now, I'm happy...and it feels damn good.

Lightning Strikes
Don't know what to say. Don't know what to feel.
The air is rarefied here. Strange.
New ground, new wounds, new love, new hate.
New.
If I could tell you just one thing,
it would be thank you.
Thank you.
For the smile.
Never felt like this. Good but bad. Bittersweet.
Never felt this way. Have you?
Never wanted to say: Who are you?
Never thought I'd ask: Who am I?
I feel like I know better now.
Better than I did before.
I feel like I know something.
Are you thinking about me?
Am I thinking about you? Or just a dream? A fantasy?
Probably all of the above....I hope.
To inspire fully, freedom assumes nothing......yet.

Beard Appreciation vol. 1
In honor of NovemBEARD I thought I'd right a few blogs honoring one of my favorite things in the world: Beards! All of history's greatest men have had awesome facial hair* and no where is this truer than in my chosen field of study, Physics. All the masters have had either sweet beards or a bitchin' stache with the exception of Newton...Who was a huge dick!
The first man we honor is the great James Clerk Maxwell. Famous for unifying the forces of Electricity and Magnetism Maxwell made many contributions to the field of Physics. His contributions to the world of beards are no less impressive.
Next we honor Ludwig Boltzmann who helped found Statistical Mechanics along with Maxwell in what would be called by later generations, "The Teaming of the Beards". Legend has it that their beards entwined allowing them to exchange thoughts directly.
We now turn our attention to James Prescott Joule who also made his beardly contributions in the study of Statistical Mechanics--Joule gave us the First Law of Thermodynamics Maxwell gave us the Second. I guess the Third Law of Thermodynamics is "Have a sweet beard".
The last beard we honor today is that of the pioneer Galileo Galilei. Most famous for hist contributions to Astronomy, which included refinements to the telescope and the first use of the telescope for observational Astronomy, Galileo also made contributions to the study of motion, gravity, and beards.
*This is why American politics sucks. All of our politicians are clean shaven. We need some beards on the hill.

Conservatard: Didn't we get in some religious argument a while ago? Something to the effect of religion can't be proven and science can. Well up until recently science told us there were only 9 planets....8 if you don't count Pluto....now they found 32 new planets....guess science isn't a perfect science after all...ha! The bible is consistent year in and year out....never going to be disproven....that's 1 for religion and -1 for creationism.
Edit: And now the idiocy really starts. I didn't realize this until later when I came across an article talking about the discovery of 32 new Exo-Planets and put 2 and 2 together but he's talking about planets that aren't even in our solar system and either doesn't know this or is ignorant as to what it means. And this is the evidence he uses to topple science.
Also I was rather perplexed by the -1 for creationism but from his later comments I came to realize he's calling me a creationist for thinking the Earth and universe came into being via natural causes which makes me the exact opposite of a creationist. He on the other hand seems to believe that god created the Earth although he never comes right out and admits this
TatteredCurtains: How is that article relevant to anything being discussed? You're not trying to imply Bush was a budget hawk are you? That would be a riot. You should also really get out of the fortune telling business and start dealing with reality as it is.
It wasn't me you were arguing with: I'm not ignorant enough to claim that science can be proven. Mathematicians deal in proofs, a scientists trade is theory. And there are still only 8 planets in the solar system. Part of the reason Pluto was downgraded from being a planet was because of the other recently discovered bodies you mention. Beyond that, scientists only ever claimed that there are 9 KNOWN planets (and suspicion was always cast upon Pluto because its orbit crosses that of Neptune's). You'd be hard pressed to find an Astronomer who has ever said: "There are 9 planets and no other massive bodies will ever be found to orbit the sun!!!! SCIENCE KNOWS EVERYTHING!!!!" I mean are you joking or are you really this stupid? The bible is consistently logically inconsistent (i.e. 2 creations, 3 different sets of last words for Jesus in the gospels) year in and year out and never stops containing propositions which are demonstrably false e.g. that the Earth is flat, the sun orbits it, it stands on 4 pillars etc. It's a laughable piece of ancient mythology. Science has improved the human condition more than any other endeavor ever taken on by mankind. Religion = dark ages. Science = future.

Again, i'm amused by the conviction you have in whatever it is you believe in. Here are a few words you should look up before making mindless claims: Theory, Law, Proof.
The Big Bang is a THEORY. Gravity is a LAW. Science consistently tries to understand the creation of not just the earth, but the entire universe. The only thing religion is consistent in is promoting here say beliefs with no proof.

TatteredCurtains: The point, which has again been lost on your pea brain, is that the Bible contains numerous propositions which are demonstrably false--thus refuting your claim that religion can never be shown to be false. Here's another example for you: What were Jesus's last words? The gospels give 3 entirely different quotations. Which one is "The Truth"? Edit: I've already posed this challenge to him and he refused to address it You would think this would have been important enough to record accurately. Oh, and the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians and pretty much every other ancient society had an estimate for pi which was accurate to at least a few decimal places so I'm only ridiculing ancient Jewish mathematics. Congratulations on following the stupidest ancient tribe! The only claims religion makes which aren't falsifiable also aren't verifiable, ergo they are worthless. I think its rather amusing that you think the testability of a theory is a bad thing.

Congratulations on being a hack. Edit: And how is it irrelevant that the bible claims pi is three. Isn't this supposed to be the word of god?

Conservatard: Those things have been around for ever---trying to disprove the Bible is nothing new.....gives guys like you a reason to walk around like a proud parrot....."Look at me...I'm smarter than GOD".......hey man....I'm not gonna convert you......if you don't believe in Hell that's gonna be your problem in about 30 years give or take. Me, I'm not stupid enough to think I'm smarter than what the Bible has to say. And once again....the moron is the one wearing the panty hose over their face....yes SKEPTIC, I know.
Edit: I love that Facebook seems to have lifted the restriction on comment length. It made the following a lot easier.
TatteredCurtains:
Oooohhhh, you got me, I posed for a goofy picture and then uploaded it to the internet. I must be a moron!!! "Those things have been around for ever..." So you're admitting that the bible is internally inconsistent and contains numerous demonstrable falsehoods? We're finally getting somewhere. "I'm not stupid enough to think I'm smarter than what the Bible has to say" You mean that you're so stupid that you don't think you're smarter than a piece of thousands of years old ancient mythology. As for being smarter than god, Jehovah lays down a challenge to Job when he questions him. Job was ignorant like you so he couldn't answer god's challenge, I on the other hand can*.
Job 38:4-7: "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"
God thinks the earth has footings and a cornerstone; wrong! Also a measuring line would be a preposterously bad tool for measuring the Earth being that it's an oblate spheroid. TC 2 God 0.
Job 38:8-11: "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, `This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt'?"
There aren't any sea doors and the oceans are shaped by a finite supply of water over an irregular surface. TC 3 God 0
Job 38:12-15: "Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken."
God thinks the Earth has edges and doesn't realize that the morning is caused by the Earth orbiting the sun, I know better. TC 5 God 0 Edit: Day and night are caused by Earth's rotation not it's orbit
Job 38:16: "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?"
I haven't personally but mankind certainly has explored the depths. TC 6 God 0
Job 38:18-21: "Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. "What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!"
Light is just electromagnetic radiation. It comes to us from the sun and other stars. When the side of the Earth we are on faces away from the Sun we are in darkness. TC 7 God 0
Job 38:22-23: "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?"
Nice try YHWH but there are no storehouses. Snow and hail are just products of the water cycle. TC 8 God 0
Job 38:24: "What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?"
Again god shows a laughable misunderstanding of meteorology TC 9 God 0
Job 38:25-27: "Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass?"
Can you say Las Vegas?!? Also the Romans had aqueducts before the NT was even written. TC 10 God 0.
Job 38:28: "Does the rain have a father? Who
fathers the drops of dew?"
God's giving me a layup here. No and no one are the respective answers. TC 12 God 0.
Job 38:29-30: "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is
frozen?"
Snow is just frozen rain: Booyah god! TC 11 God 0.
Job 38:31-32: "Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?"
God's ignorance of astrophysics is astounding. All these things are caused by the motion of the earth. TC 12 God 0.
Job 38:33: "Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up dominion over the earth?" I clearly have a better grasp of physics than god and man has set up dominion over the Earth rather nicely I'd say. TC 14 God 0.
Job 38:34 "Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?"
Raising our voice to the clouds? How about airplanes and space travel? TC 15 God 0.
Job 38:35: "Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, `Here we are'?" We can create tremendous flashes of plasma with an electrostatic field. Heck, I've even turned them into speakers. Take that god! TC 16 god 0.
Job 38:36: "Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind?"
Evolution. TC 17 god 0
Job 38:37-38: "Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?"
Quit fooling charlatan! There are no jars of water to be tipped. And counting all the clouds is impossible, they are transient. TC 19 god 0
Job 38:39-40: "Do you hunt the prey for the
lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?" T
hese animals forage for their own food. YHWH really like to take credit for the actions of others doesn't he. TC 20 God 0.
So there you have it. I played by Jehovah's rules and absolutely decimated him on his home turf. Mankind today is clearly far more intelligent and knowledgeable than the god of the OT.

Skeptic:
That was baller.
dude nothing you will every say will have any consequence on earth, let alone 'make my skin crawl'. all this does is prove to me that you can never underestimate stupidity.
Oh yea also..what does 'disproving the bible' even mean? its not a book of proofs. its a fucking story. one you decided to live by. apparently you must be painfully stupid to need a ancient book to show you a way of life. you really cant think for yourself for whats wrong n right?
you REALLY think theres a place called heaven where you will go after you die? and hell? What do you do hell? blow the devil? what after that? like is there a fucking schedule? hey its 5pm time to suck some devil dick. 8pm: get fucked in the ass by godzilla. Edit: LOL
i cant believe i've come down to this level talking to this guy. this does have quite a bit of entertainment value, though. Edit: My sentiments exactly

OP:
Not that I'm getting involved in this shit storm. But TC... Saying that man has set up dominion over the earth is more of an opinion than fact. One big earth pimple aka super volcano popping could put a good size dent in our population and there is absolutely nothing we could do to stop it. As a matter of fact I would say we have very little control over the earth and its processes. And if your referring to dominion just over other life. That may be an illusion also. In our effort for globalization, we may have set ourselves up to be wiped out by a deadly fast evolving virus. It would be almost ironic if we got wiped out by the smallest dumbest form of life on earth.

TatteredCurtains: Fair enough. TC 19 YHWH 0. I'm not giving him a point because he doesn't really have dominion over the Earth either. Edit: And this is quite a nitpick. Also I'm not really sure what he's talking about with globalization. If he's referring to the rainforest that's bupkis. Subsistence farmers are the main culprits.
