Random musings from a few weeks ago

I don’t know why I didn’t post this when I wrote it. I am remedying that now.
So I am guessing that if anyone had been browsing through this thing, they have long stopped by now, owing to my complete lack of activity. It is not that I forget about my blog. No, in fact I visit most every day to click on my sidebar of links so that I can go and read everyone else’s successful series of posts. Reading is so much easier than writing, really. And I know what’s been going on with me. So what’s up with you?
But I started this thing to write. If all I wanted to do was click on links there are much easier ways to organize. And I can’t help appreciating those people who usually update once (sometimes twice!) a day. So, here is what is going on with me:
- Polictics! Yay! It appears that W Bush may be making history as one of the most disliked (and I think worst) ever Presidents. Thank you. Finally the rest of the country is wising up. I think the poor man really wanted to do good things, he just has no idea how. Don’t blame me – I voted, but not for him. On the upside, I don’t really think that we can do worse no matter who gets elected next. On the downside, it is going to take a while to get over the damage he has done to the country for 8 (8!!) years. Feel free to disagree. Apparently, though if you do, you will be in the 35 or so percent minority.
- Religion. I don’t like it. The God Delusion is a fantastic book. Go read it to learn why I don’t tend to like religion. I have plenty of religious friends, but there are just so many reasons why we don’t need it and why it can be detrimental. As a scientist I also just cannot understand what the beef is with evolution. If there is anything that we really have plenty of evidence for, it’s evolution. Get over it. Start arguing about gravity or something. Gravitation is a “theory” too.
- What do I want to do with my life? I have no idea. It changes daily. I keep coming back to the professor thing. Sometimes I think I want to be an architect, but I gather that life is still not all fun and glory. I hope to be soon meeting some successful happy professors who will tell me how they do it, how much they love it, and why I should do it too. And we will all live happily ever after, the end.
