One Quick Post

So, this is my first blog post from Windows Live Writer which includes some new plug-ins. One that generates tags from stuff I post. The other (for now) is a “Now Playing” plug-in that gets the current song from my iTunes! So, I think that’s pretty cool since I don’t have last.fm or whatever it’s called.

Um .. I guess that’s all as this particular song is winding down. I know it’s short, but so is the song and I’m not sure what’ll happen.

Religion and Science

Weird! On my way back from the bank today, I saw a flyer someone had taped to a post about religion and science. I wished I had my cellphone with me to get a picture of it so I could show you what it said. I didn't even get a chance to read the whole thing. I may even drive back to the place tomorrow just to take the picture.

Some of you know what my stance is on the two. If you don't, here's my take. Science is reality; religion is ancient people making stuff up to try to explain reality.

It makes sense to me that ancient people came up with a God concept when they could not explain weather and other natural events. Each natural thing was a separate God for some - like the ancient Greeks, who believed in Zeus, Athena, Apollo, etc. It also makes sense that this idea of a God or Gods 'evolved' as people could investigate and dig for the truth of things they did not understand. What religion used to (and still does) attempt to explain, science has been discovering the truth about. 

Science has certainly been wrong about things, but it doesn't claim to have absolute truth the way religions do. Science is always being questioned! (Something you're not allowed to do in almost all - if not all - religions.) There are always scientists looking to disprove what we think we know. But, it's always updating itself - in just the same way we update our technology all the time! Would you really want unchanging ideas about what actually is reality? To me, that seems like one would want to live with the cave-men. 

Friday the 22nd

Well, got my dentist appointment out of the way at 8am this morning. My last early morning for another couple of days! I am gonna try to sleep until like .. 10 tomorrow since I've been waking up earlier than usual all week. Not that it's such a big deal, but my main .. challenges were to do with the dogs rather than anything else. I know I've mentioned some before.

So, I kind of felt like writing/typing something - just wasn't sure of what. I'm still not sure on what I want to say. I guess what I will just do tonight is put up random thoughts in no particular order.

Right now, I'm listening to "Freedom" by George Michael. I already bought this song from my own iTunes account as part of a larger birthday gift for my dad.

I'm also looking at some photos online from random places and trying to come up with something else to add to any of my stories. Lately, I've just been re-reading some of my more recent stuff that I've edited or added.

Oh, I've noticed that basically since I've de-converted from Christianity - I find that I no longer believe that ghosts are real and other super religious songs/books/etc. I bought are not really fun to have anymore. I suppose they weren't a waste of money, though, because - at the time I bought them - I really enjoyed them. The TobyMac songs, Mandisa songs, Jamie Grace songs, etc. Most of them .. don't really apply to me anymore. The "Good Morning" song by Mandisa could still be useful, though. From what I recall, God is not a major .. topic in that song.

Now, about the ghosts thing, before I became a non-believer, I had bought two seasons of Psychic Kids from iTunes. I did enjoy them back then, so I guess there's that. It could be like getting something when you're young and then when you're older .. it no longer applies to you, so you want to get rid of it.

I don't know. Maybe that's just me. Whatever. Well, I think that'll be all for now.

Done!

Phew! I'm done with housesitting the two dogs I talked about in my last post. I got paid for all 8 days I stayed there, too. :) I've decided that I'm never doing that again. EVER. Those dogs are strange to me! One of them, I don't think likes me very much. The other one, I think he likes me a lot more than I like him. Sigh!! The problem is, he's just soo annoying! He's restless a lot! He whines a lot, too! Sheesh!

So, I just upgraded my YouTube channel page to the newest format. (Well, whatever they call it anyway.) They have the option of putting up a "Channel Trailer" and I suppose that I could try to make one. But, I have such a large variety of things that I occasionally upload that I think it would be just a bunch of random clips of different videos I have - unless I created a video blog or something just describing the videos I've already posted. Meh, I don't think I'll be doing that. Ha!

Hmm .. what else do I want to say? Um .. I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow morning at 8am, which won't be fun. But, at least I'll get it out of the way for the next 6 months.

My First Post From My Galaxy Note 10.1

This is my first blogger post that was created from my tablet. I am kind of bored right now as I sit around housesitting for my neighbor with 2 big dogs. This picture is one of the dogs. What he doesn't know is that I am going to have to leave again for a babysitting job in a couple of hours. Luckily, this babysitting job is for another neighbor who lives next door. I have to stay overnight here. This may be the only time I do this for this neighbor.

Anyway, now I am using my neighbor's wifi to post this and listening to my ipod via their ipod/iphone speaker. It's rather nice. :) Still, I would rather be at home right now - playing my Sims 3: Pets game. Haha! I guess that it will have to wait until tomorrow. These particular neighbors are gone for a few more days still.

Umm .. I guess that's it for now. I will try to update this more often. (Ha! Yeah, right. Oh well.)
