I am totally ordering a hundred copies of this tract.

"If YOU believe in Evolution instead of Jesus, you'll end up in hell."

Not.

=====

Note: I do agree that if you believe in Evolution instead of Jesus, you're in the wrong. But this whole tract makes Evolution and Jesus to appear mutually exclusive.

And that is damned nonsense.

Yes. Literally damned.

As in ... to hell.

My Summer

This summer looks like it'll be one to remember.

I think I've mentioned before that my Mother and I are going to Haiti on a Short Term Mission with the Ontario Great Lakes Division of the Salvation Army. Excitement hasn't exactly reached a fevered pitch yet, but it's certainly mounting. I can't wait to get down there.

I hate when people trumpet their own good deeds. "How good of a person am I?" is what I hear. But I seriously don't even see this trip like that. The buzzword for the group has been "Integrated Mission." We're going moreso to learn than anything else. And that's perfectly fine for me.

I just got an email today too, letting me know that I was accepted to another camp. It looks like I might actually be going to this one, afterwards, which is wicked.

But as soon as I realize this, the gravity hits me that I'm not going to get to spend as much of the summer with Corner Brook friends as I had hoped. I guess that's the nature of the beast, if I'm going to do the camp thing, but ... it's a little bit depressing. I hate the fact that I sort of tried to reject them in High School, and they've never even mentioned it. Here I am again, leaving these guys that I want to hang out with every night for the next three months.

Agh, sometimes I feel like a crappy friend. In my clamor to get away, and to see, to experience, I've left people behind.

It sucks.

And yeah, I'm realizing that this blog has turned out to be a bit of a patchwork. I mean, not the worst ever, but not exactly unified, you know? Maybe I'll work on that later, but this is the third draft I've done up tonight, and I'm posting something, I don't care how bad it is.

Samstag Nacht

Oh my! This comic (from xkcd) can be used to chronicle my Saturday night.



And right now, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Also, today was spent cleaning Mom's car. Mom gave me $20 and told me I could bring it to the car wash, or clean it myself (and keep the $20).

So I cleaned the car, and bought some iTunes moolah. I proceeded to download one of Relient K's older albums, Two Lefts Don't Make a Right ... But Three Do, since I so enjoyed their most recent Five Score and Seven Years Ago. I've only given it two listens through yet, but I'm enjoying it almost as much.

I finished my Star Wars book on Friday morning, and proceeded to pick up the next book in the series. So far I've only gotten through the prologue, but I'm sort of warming up to Troy Denning again. He's responsible for a major change to the Star Wars Universe that hurt me more than the death of my first dog. If anybody has read Star by Star, you know what I mean. It's a trust issue that's taking some time to deal with, but with The Joiner King, the healing has begun.

EDIT: I understand now! I may or may not have told the story before of ordering a "Pepperoni Pizza" while in Rome, Italy. I got a Pizza with cheese, and Peppers. That's because (apparently) "Peperoni" is the plural form of "Peperone" the Italian word for bell peppers! Which leads me to the question:

"How the heck did the 'spicy Italian-American variety of dry salami' come to be known as 'Pepperoni'?"

Missing MAD Parties

Foiled by Facebook again!

I checked myself some Facebook today, and saw that Jillian's MAD end-of-semester party was scheduled for Yesterday. I thought it was today, and had set aside everything from 6:00 onward for moping, and weeping, since I could not attend.

Furthermore, Facebook decided to add to my depression. Pictures tell the tale of good times had by all. Curse you Facebook! Curse you Good Times©! I meant to take all happiness with me when I came home, but couldn't bear myself to leave St. John's with four months of darkness. I leave a bit behind, and what do they do, but use it all up on one night!

In other news, I got my first rabies shot today, as well as my first typhoid shot, not to mention got my malaria pills as well! Oh boy! Tomorrow I'm going to learn to walk through fire without getting burned, and the next day we'll toughen my skin so that bullets will never penetrate! Justice League, here I come!

In the meantime, I started reading a Star Wars book yesterday, and have reached page 350 (2/3 done the first book in a trilogy) as of right now. I thought that was pretty amazing, considering I was having trouble reading anything at all in St. John's. Must be the whole home thing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start preparing a snack for Survivor. I haven't seen anything this season, but hopefully it won't be to hard to get into.

Home

I sit here at my kitchen table. In Corner Brook.

Dad and I came over the highway on Sunday. There's just something about coming home. The way the highway enters Corner Brook ... there's no way to not be inspired. It was a clear night, and seeing the lights made me quite happy.

There's something that St. John's just didn't have. Or rather, it did have. It was claustrophobic. You can look out into the distance and see the hills, or another building or whatever, but nothing meaningful. When I go into "my" Tim Horton's here, though, you can see so much. You can see everything.

I've been thinking over the past day or so, about my friends from St. John's, and elsewhere. I want to show them this place so much. Corner Brook rocks. This isn't some revelation, or grand wisdom that University life has taught me. It's like when you're cold for a long time, and then come into the heat. It means so much more to be room temperature after being cold, than if you were room temperature the whole time.

In other news, the wicked summer plans that I had have gone straight down the tubes without much more than a whimper. I expected as much, but had held out. I would like to make it clear that I do not believe this is the right decision, but I'm going to have to live with it. It's done now. Time to make the most of the latest shovelful of crap.

It's Raining Men

Oh my goodness.

I just had to share this.



Now back to my paper. I can procrastinate later.

Exam Time (Seriously, you Guys)

I'm actually buckling down for exam time.

I'm 70% done my Philosophy paper, and haven't started my Religious studies yet. I've got a German exam at 3 today, and I've been doing flash cards since 10 this morning. Brief break for some web-surfing and lunch later. Then another 2 hours of study, do the test, and start reading for Psychology.

Hopefully I won't have to do any paper writing on Saturday, but that's my spill day. I have no plans for the afternoon, so if I need extra time for work, that's it. After supper some people are coming over for Risk! too. Exiting times much?

I can't wait to have complete control over my reading schedule for 4 months. I just picked up two books which I am excited to start once I plow through the stack I've got now. I bought Søren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, and Herodotus' The Histories, which (among other things) re-accounts the Greco-Persian war. Awesome!

Not sure where the summer will take me yet. It looks like I can do the camp thing if I want the job, but 5 weeks of employment isn't going to be very much money. I hate to make it about the money of course, but that's a big deal since I've got to pay part of my own way next year.

Anybody know of a place that will hire me for one month? (May 27th - June 23rd) Hey, it's worth a shot asking.

Book Reading

This past New Year's (actually, about a week or two late) I decided to make a resolution to kick my butt in gear.

My goal has been to read 50 books in the year. Almost a book per week.

So far I'm a bit behind. I just finished my eleventh.

As a sort of Part II to the resolution is something that I saw on Joel's Blog around New Year's time as well. It was a list of the books he had read the previous year. I thought that was neat, and quickly added this part to my New Year's 'resolution.'

I'm bursting at the seams. I'm proud of my reading so far, but I'm trying to keep myself from blogging the list before December 31st.

What can I say? It's exciting!

I will tell you, though, that I really did not enjoy plowing through my last English novel in two days. It wasn't even a particularly spectacular novel anyways.

English is done forever tomorrow. I think I'll go in early and start work on my two essays due this week as well. Maybe read some Psychology. Perhaps finish another book or two that have been waiting for my school reading list to clear up.

Oh my goodness guys. Summer is almost here. My reading schedule will be mine again for a whole four months! Excitement abounds!

Sunday

Apollo Sunshine tells everybody "If that grass looks fun to roll in, then roll in that fun grass."

Languages

I've been thinking about Languages, and I thought it would be an excuse for a list.

Languages I'd like to learn and would likely use:
Hebrew
Ancient Greek
Latin

Languages I'd like to learn and might use:
German
Mandarin
Japanese
Russian
French

Languages I'd like to learn but would likely not use:
Arabic
Aramaic

That was actually quite anti-climactic.

I'm beginning to wonder if aspiring to continue German and take up Ancient Greek and Hebrew next year is a bad idea. Especially since both of the new languages would require new alphabets as well.

Who am I kidding? I'm never going to really learn any of these, am I? I'm going to work at Pizza Delight until I retire with a crumbling Philosophy degree behind my couch somewhere.

Perspective

I enjoy searching for perspective. It makes me realize how huge reality really is. As I eat, I wonder what somebody in Japan might be doing. I take a shower and wonder how many Germans are coughing at that exact moment. I lay down to sleep and contemplate what somebody in India is going to do.

And then I look at history. The 'This Day In History' columns, and wonder if exactly fifty seven years ago somebody had wondered about somebody else wondering fifty seven years before him. I wonder who stood where I'm standing five years before. I wonder what news somebody could have been hearing a thousand years prior.

One thousand nine hundred and seventy seven years ago at this moment, a Rabbi prayed in a garden called Gethsemane. What blades of grass caught his tears? Who smelled the flowers that had smelled him? Could one of those flowers have become a gift to somebody not involved in the drama? Did they become involved later? Did their descendants know about that flower from Gethsemane? More importantly, did they ever hear about what happened in Gethsemane one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven years before this moment?

Holy crap guys.

Reality is huge.

EDIT: It has been pointed out that easter might not have occurred exactly 1977 from today. I overlooked the fact that Easter has to do with the lunar calendar, so it might not be an exact 1977 solar years. But you get the point.

It has gotten me wondering if anybody has tried to find the exact solar date of the first Easter. It'd kind of be neat to know.

My Humps

This is ridiculously hilarious.



I never liked the song to begin with. But this style really makes me realize how insanely stupid the lyrics to this song are.

Ich hasse Englisch, sehen Sie?

I hate English

A quick translation note. I'm not sure if my title makes sense in German. So don't say it to anybody who happens to be German. They might laugh at you or invade France or something.

I hate English.

I've been working hard (or rather 'hardly working) at my English paper today. Well, not all of it, but the parts that I felt like it.

I hate English.

I'm finally just about done, but my last few paragraphs are crap. Unfortunate, since it' the most important part of my argument.

I hate English.

The paper also needs three secondary sources, but I've only managed to find and incorporate two decent ones. I'm going to have to go back over it and add in some sort of reference to my final source. This is going to be hard, since it doesn't mention war at all, and that's what my paper is about.

I hate English.

The worst part about this whole thing is the fact that I once so enjoyed these novels. Nineteen Eighty-Four was fantastic, and The Wars wasn't so bad. Now I've got an unending, seething hatred for all things George Orwell, or Timothy Findley.

I hate English.

At the very least, this is the last English paper I'll have to write ... ever. My exam is on Monday, so very soon I'll be finished with this devilish course for all of eternity.

I hate English.

Ich schreibe auf Deutsch jetzt ...

... weil Ich hasse Englisch.*
