Hmm...Well this seems to be turning into a pattern. I swear I haven't meant for updates to become so few and far between, but that doesn't mean you get to nag on me either. Count yourself lucky stalkers, after all, my own dairy hasn't seen a single word from me in months. Better be careful or it may get all jealous and kill you so it can have me all to itself.
If that made sense to you than give yourself a pat on the back, you're beginning to mentally translate my insanity into your own language -and becoming one step closer to insanity yourself. ^-^ Aren't you lucky?
Speaking of insanity, what is it with people and horoscopes and astrology? Do they really believe that the stars define who we are and what happens to us? I'll admit I find it fun to check my horoscope every once and awhile, but then there's people who become obsessed with it.
There are some people who spend twenty dollars a month to get detailed (ridiculously detailed and still so general it can 'come true') reports about upcoming events and advice on how to deal with said predicted events. There are even a richer class of people who spend hundreds of dollars on personal consultants and birth charts 'charting the destiny of their life'.
And don't even get me started on psychic hot lines.
Why are people so obsessed with ESP? Ghosts? Fortune tellers? I have my own fascinations, I even own an encyclopedia of psychic elements, but reading about the history of ghost stories and scientific discoveries into ESP (extra-sensory-perception I'm not forgetting the 'n' just in case you were wondering) is a far cry from searching out the hokum pokum merchants and getting my psychic fix.Maybe we as human beings are so obsessed with psychics, ghosts and the after life because it's a simple evolution of religion. Think about it, in medieval times people were unquestioningly faithful to the Catholic church, too much so even. During the enlightenment, religion was almost abhorred or at least considered a seperate life from everything else, science was the new religion. Now, the two are blended, a natural evolution into scholasticism. What science cannot answer, faith believes; what faith misconceives, science explains.
Many have asked, why can't science and religion mix? Why can't science be the how instead of the why? It seems to me, that more and more people are standing up and saying that in can be.

The freedom of speech is something I cherish. I'm expressing it, you're expressing it, it's great! >_< Don't make me regret living in a democracy or you'll regret it. As many have said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
