the official first day of spring...and it snowed. hehe, gotta love the weather in the mid-west. nothing worthy to close school and the snow melted by the afternoon. either way I didn't have class so I didn't have to deal with it.
the week's been ok so far, I guess. I don't know, something about Monday. seemed like half the campus just got up, looked outside, saw that it was raining, and said "Fuck it, I'm going back to bed." it was nice and quite for once. don't count on many more days of that. this is college after all, where most exams are based on lectures given by the professors. what the hell is the point of text books then if we're just going to be tested on what comes out your mouth? shiet, save me some money so that I can use it to pay my tuition.
but enough of that. to the matter concerning the subject of this post. Monday morning while I was waiting for my carpool to come, I managed to catch Good Morning America as they were discussing this funeral protesting that seems to be going on. apparently, this small church is going around to funerals for soldiers who have been killed in Iraq protesting with signs and crap. but get this, they're not protesting about the war. they're protesting about the gays of the world. it is their belief that these brave soldiers died because of our acceptance of the homosexual citizens of the populace.
-sighs- where do I begin?
and pplz wonder why I make fun of the religious deities all the time. it's because their followers always pull this kind of crap. "I do this in the name of _________". BULL SHIT! I don't know about all of you, but it is my belief that the almighty beings that reside up there only want peace. the only thing these so called "religious freaks" are doing is creating more unnecessary conflict.
and to those idiotic protestors, if God was so against homosexuality, why would he allow it to carry on? isn't he all powerful? wouldn't he have the power to take care of the problem himself instead of letting his "minions" take care of it for him? he supposedly created the universe in a week so don't you think he'd be able to take care of a small number of people on this measily planet called Earth?
whatever. makes me glad to say I'm a Buddhist. sure I don't know much about the religion and I'm a very bad example of one [they're pacifists and I...get violent on occasion] but at least they don't persecute others for having a different belief system [at least I hope not]. makes me wonder why Christianity is so popular when it's the center of most of the wars that have been waged in the history of mankind. all that these stupid "Holy Wars" do is promote more hatred. I'm starting to think Ryoko-sama had a good idea when she decided to become an atheist.

Does it mean something?...
I need to do better at updating around here.
I've...had this weird urge to punch something lately. Somethihng solid and hard (so those of you who were going to tell me to hit a pillow, sorry but no). It's not that I have some unreleased anger to deal with. To tell you the truth I've been quite passive for a few weeks now, pain-stakingly numb even to a point where I don't really feel anything. Emotions aren't the problem this time.
Maybe it's all just getting to me. With father drama, school stress, and old memories of things I'd rather forget...it's all building up. Is it normal to lay in bed for hours just staring at the ceiling? Cuz I don
Whoa, when did this happen?...
-glances around- Well, this is...different. And completely unexpected. Am I the only one who's seeing things? Do you notice the drastic changes around here? Wow, I'm amazed. Looks quite awesome don't you think? Let me just bask in the glow of this...transformation a little bit.
Should've given notice...
Forgive me for I've been off on vacation for the past two weeks. Took a trip to sunny California to visit family. To recap on what all happened I give you this:
Monday, July 3, 2006 - Happy birthday to me! ^-^ Went shopping with mom and one of her old friends. Saw nothing I liked except a few Shaman King mangas. Came home and went back out to get fireworks. Brother didn't take me out bar hopping though cuz he had to work, which I'm glad of. I don't quite trust him with a drunken me.
Tuesday, July 4, 2006 - Hung out all day until nightfall cuz all our stuff were for night time fun. Played until 1:00 AM in the morning doing stupid things incl
You have some 'splaining to do...
Explain your account name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.
I watched too much Shaman King. For some odd reason I always liked the dynamics of the Tao family on the show; how they valued their family honor above anything else. Sure Tao En went about regaining that in the wrong way, but he had good intentions behind it. And besides, Tao Ren made a great attept to rectify that. And it always helps that Tao Ren was overall my favorite character ever. The empress part of my name came about when I was writing a Shaman King multi-chapter fic about Hao's first life, making connections between t

you are so right, dearie....... I can't stand it anymore, too.
In my country, the presence of catholic church is enough to stop the legal union of gay couples (not mariage, just legal rights) and now they're attacking even abortion laws.....I'm ana atheist, but my freedom is shaped on the moral principles of Christians....
I feel invaded, and I hate it.
plus, religious hatred between catholics and islam is growing harsher every day... I feel sick about it and now I'm seriously persuaded reliegion is the best weapon in the hands of the power to force people in doing the dirty job in his place...gotta get out of this mechanism or our beautifull world'll soon be trashed..... shit.
