213

this morning i was listening to the radio on the way to work and i happened to hear the fab faux perform “Tomorrow Never Knows”, and an interesting thing happened to me. i actually heard the lyrics in a new way, and instead of going to work thinking that today was going to be a repeat of yesterday, where nothing would get done and i would become even more frustrated with my state as a wage slave, i went into work having “layed down all thought, surrendered to the void” “that you may see the meaning of within”… and i noticed that exactly the same things happened to me today whether i felt that way or not, but because i “surrendered thought” before going to work, i found that majid’s idiocy, which is getting worse and worse as time goes on, didn’t affect me at all…

yes, majid wants me to use a G3 PowerPC that doesn’t have any USB ports while i’m reformatting my G3 imac – in between working on all the jobs that have been piling up for the past week while we battle with a computer network that doesn’t network – which would be good enough if it weren’t for the fact that it has a screen that’s too dark, but he hasn’t made any noises about going to indesign, especially since all of the jobs are located on the network and for some unknown reason, indesign wants things to be local otherwise “bad things”™ happen – crashing with occasional loss of data and/or network – to indesign… but you know, so what? he’s bound and determined to do what he wants to do, regardless of how mind-numbingly stupid it is, regardless of how much i complain, so why should i care? he doesn’t pay me enough to care, so i’m just going to stop.

meanwhile, this is ganesha chaturti, so happy ganesha chaturti everyone!

from the “christians”, another reason not to be “christian”: "god’s" mercy evident in katrina’s wake. meanwhile, senator landrieu implores president to "relieve unmitigated suffering;" end FEMA’s "abject failures".

  1. religion is a lot more subjective than not, but it’s good for people who have similar ideas to have a way to get together and act on them in a group, even if it’s athiesm, agnosticism or none-of-the-above. religion is one of many ways that people can achieve this, however religion, as with any other form of elitism, has to be treated extremely carefully by the group, otherwise we end up with people like george bush junior running everything.

    reason is good, but lies are just as good, and neither is better than both.

  2. http://www.ffbooks.co.uk/n0/n2814.htm as an elephant type species of alien attempts to take over our planet and subjigate us to their way of thinking/beliefs………………………

    religion is subjective in individual peoples minds should never be used as a group label or it will create more rascism and war. “my religion is better than yours” will only destroy the planets unity and future.

    raised a christian i walked away from all religion when it became my choice. im not an atheist, an agnostic or any other non-labels people want to place on that particular lack-of-belonging. I’m a man of science and reasoning and believe that is how man sould live his life, “reasonably” features heavily.

    I am a Human, from Earth, in what we call the Milky Way galaxy. i have no affiliations anymore specific than that, unless you count my need to write scifi!

    Enjoy your celebrations with your family and friends and common brothers and sisters. I guess i have chosen to miss out on those aspects of life and will miss them occassionally, having to find alternatives that probably don’t exist.

    that piece on Baptists comments in the name of christianity is worrying though. the baptists are rapidly becoming a fringe group and do not speak for the majority of christians!!!

  3. I should never have read that first link; Christians piss me off and I think their time has definitely come to leave the stage.
