so today was lame, so im just gona skip to the philosophy.
idk how many of you guys are familiar with Nietzsche, and/or his philosophies, but a few days ago i stumbled across one of his thoughts. it is that God is dead. now, please dont be offended by this.
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
—Nietzsche, The Gay Science
i wana hear what you guys think of this. i was talking to one of my teachers about this, and he wrote it off as another one of Nietzsche's drunkin rambles. i say its more than that. i say he meant that the thought of God is dead, that we have progressed in sciences enough to no longer need God. religions were created for 3 things: to explain the unexplainable, to conect a mass group of people, and to give hope.
now that our society is conectable through phones/computers, science can explain theories for everything, and we should be able to get hope from our government. the only purpose of God now is to suply hope, and definite answers to what science has theories to.
now, i disagree with Nietzsche. God is not dead. however, He is dieing. he will cling onto life until Science has definite answers, or atleast stronger theories, and until governments take away our need for hope.
lets hear what you guys have to say!
Peace!

so please guys, dont judge me in your comments about this post because i know it seems like im irresponsible, but when im full awake and in tact, im not a bad driver.
so this morning, i woke up, had a head ache. i said oh well i still have to get up. got dressed, all ready to leave, go up the stairs, and trip. FML. got in my car (its maybe 5:50 at the latest). i throw in reverse, and let me foot off the break. well as im backing out, my mirror gets caught on my garage wall, it bends back, and snaps in half. its not that bad. no urgency in getting it fixed like my wheel was. i figure ill ask for a mirror from santa ;).
so im driving, and apparently i dident get the memo that traffic was gona suck on tuesday.
get to school, got my homework done. go to classes. right after lunch time, when im most cranky, one of my teachers takes it upon himself to tell me im gona have to have a meeting with one of the vice principles. this vice was the teacher of my SAT prep class yesterday. the vice told this teacher that i was dragging in class. look, the headache i had this morning, was from yesterday. and the math were going over from SAT is easy as anything! no challenge! of course im not gona be too pumped about baby math.
so i asked if that was the only reason i had to meet with him. its not. apparently i also have 1 c. now, i understand one c, 6 b's, and 1 a isent up to my par, but do i really need to have a meeting about it?!?!? im still doing above average, wether its the best of my ability or not, its above the gpa of an average student!!!
so i got yelled at by that teacher, went into another teachers room, who got a phone call from the last teacher, and she starts yelling at me! i listened until she took a breath then left.
as im leaving this building, the women in charge of the testing center for us dyslexic's shouted to me "i need to tell you somthing". i said i just got yelled at by 2 teachers. she said "have a nice day" and smiled. that was the one nice thing that happened in my day.
then school was over, and on my way home, the car in front of me to the lane over decides to come into my lane without looking in his blind spot, which is exactly where i was. so i swerved into the next lane, and everything was fine. now im at home and just pissed about my day.
Peace!!!

so i just finished up a lunch with my drum teacher. he said he was hungary after our lesson and then told me his next lesson wasent showing and wanted to know if i wanted to grab a bite to eat with him. i said sure.
so we get there, he askes how schools goin, i told him bout my c in religion, he asked why i have a c, i told him cuz im an athiest (kiddin around)
then we talked about if there was a God and all this stuff. i was really happy to have a discussion like this. i love these tryes of things.
well anyway, almost got beat up by a biker on thursday. i stoped to let a person in the shared left turn lane in because the traphic was slow infront of me. well there were three bikers behind me. oh i stoped at the top of a hill. to the bikers came over the hill really fast, and had to slam on there breaks. one of them stalled out. now i understand there frustration, but first, you shouldent be speeding over a blind hill, and secound, you shouldent be mad at me because you stalled out.
in your guys oppinion, did i do anything wrong?
well after we started to move, one of the guys was on my ass, so i took a turn, and while i was waiting to go, the guy on my ass shouted somthing on me, and one of his friends gave me the finger.
so thats it for this post haha

so, im finaly making a philosophical post. im hoping to be posting alot, maybe even day to day, and nothing too interesting happened today. so i figured, why not make a philosophical post?
so im posting about ethical egoism. this theory was brought to my attention by the new teacher i posted about a while back. he also brought up absurdism, which ill cover later. well i dont remember how we got on this topic, but we were talking about motives. i said that everyone should be motivated to make themselves better. he said somthing like so are the people who sacrifice there lives for others wrong for doing that? i said no, because they get joy from doing that, or have some other motif. he said, and i quote, "ahh, that my friend is called ethical egoism"
now, i had never heard of this "ethical egoism" so of course, he explained it to me in more detail, which included an explanation of altruism. haha i may consider myself an aspiring philosopher, but i have yet to take a class in philosophy, so im not too aware of many of the beliefs.
he even gave me an example of altruism, the lemmings. once the population count gets too high, herds of them will run off cliffs to try and keep the population level even.
we debated for a little, but then i had to leave. iv sence been thinking about this though of ethical egoism. it seems to make sence to me, and its relieving that i can be labled and "ethical egoist" and find others with the same thought pattern as me.
i just wana hear what you guys have to say about this.
Peace!

ugh, i hate what my blogs become. its more of a constant update. im fine with that, but i intended for this to be a journal, mixed with a may to get my mind thinking. i havent made a philosophical post in a LONG time. im sorry guys!
well i finaly have my computer back so hopefully that will change soon.
geeze so much has happened lately.
so last week, i was in a parking lot, pulling through a spot (you know, when theres 2 spots open in front of each other, and you drive through the first one to make it look like you backed into the one you parked in)and my mirror hits the other cars mirror. it bends back, and startles me. i keep driving. i then stoped, and looked at the mirror. no one saw me hit it, and it only bent inward. no dammage done to that persons mirror, and jsut a small smudge on mine, which i can fix when i get more time. so anyway, im driving, trying to do a u'ie in the parking lot, mind clouded with wethor or not i should leave a note, and *scratch, bang, pop*. i drove up on a curb, back down, and poped my tire. KARMAS A BITCH!!! so im stuck there staring at the car i just hit. well one thing led to another, and i got a company to help my put my doughnut on and drove it to my dads, who helped me get a new tire.
and the next morning, i had court.
it went well. we drove 2 and a half hours (we as in my dad, i, and my aunt [lawyer]) we get there, get lost with minuets to spare, find the court, and are late, but my aunt called ahead to warn them. so i get up to the front when im called, make my plea, and get the ticket reduced to a 74 in a 65, it was 86 in a 65. the fine was still almost 300, but im happy.
then we took my aunt out for lunch as a thank you, and i had a good time.
last weekend, i hung out with Peter, and i will say, its the first time iv spent the night at somones house and been sober the whole night.
i had a good time, and got an invite to a part on the 29th. should be cool even though ill only know 2 people at this party.
thats really it. im glad i could get all this out haha.
thanks for stayen loyal guys!
