My sink blew up and spewed forth nasty water, pounding the kitchen floor with wave after wave until I finally woke up and saw the floor flooded. I thought, now what kind of bullshit is this on my birthday? Good things should be happening to me on my birthday, like lots of female attention. I just finished cleaning all this up and now I don't even know if it's worth going to bed. My sink blew up, but hey at least I don't have to go to work!

EvolutionThe one thing that I know I have in common with everyone on earth is that I don't know where we came from, how we got here, or where we are going. Sure, science has tried for a long time to describe it for us, with some degree of success. Then again, science has historically done a particularly shitty job describing things - ourselves, the world around us, etc. The pattern is to continuously fuck up until we stumble on an answer. We routinely mess up things which are a whole hell of a lot less complicated than the mysteries of life and ourselves.
Lets say for the sake of argument, I believe that we somehow developed from chimps into intelligent civilizations, masters of math, art and architecture, in a relatively short period of time. Presumably I would think that we are not yet at the end of our evolution. When does the evolution stop? Who is to say that we won't develop some kind of telekinetic powers? How will we further develop? Will it take 100,000 years? Or is there something we can do to help ourselves? These are questions nobody, scientific or religious, can answer for us and yet we continue to fake and front like we know everything.
Perhaps next we will become much more evolved spiritually - developing a heightened sense of unconditional love and a very strong sense of unity and oneness with each other. I think this is the kind of thing that needs to happen if we are ever going to end war, disease and poverty - not to mention travel among the stars. Today, realistically, we are incapable of all those things. Our focus is undeniably on the self. Something needs to happen, and does it really matter if it is an act of God or the product of our own evolution, as long as it happens?

Another Unsuccessful e:peep sighting!I saw (e:DocC) and (e:Rachel) just a few minutes ago. I shouted "Hey Rachel" to try to get their attention but no luck. This marks two unsuccessful attempts at (e:peep) conversation in a week! Dang people, how scary can a skinny white boy be? lol

Sinking Pit In My StomachI have this horrible feeling today. (e:Joshua) is gone now, off to the DR and I am left on my own for two weeks. Frankly I don't know what my problem is. I don't know if I'm just stressed from work or if it is because it's so unnatural for me to not have my brother around. Sinking feeling go away!!!!
