um. everytime i get on the net, i go to the drudgereport. yeah. sometimes i go to cleveland.com, that fills me in on clevebland scene. i'm back in coimbature. coimbature is like Akron.....only 5 times as big, and there really aren't any pretty parts of it....it's like, the east side of cleveland, only with semi tall buildings, and it's 5 times the size of "EC" as the homies call it. I picked up a India guide, so now i can make educated decisions on where to go? and i have a guide to the temples in south india. yeah. feelin better these days.
so my friend, who i thought was giving me a compliment like, yeah you're a star, no the person was just telling me that, literaly, i am made of stars, that we are all made of that same matter. i had been ego tripping in my mind the past day or so, and it brought me back to earth....i even had my first mtv video figured out. and then i was thinking 'well, i could have 'cribs' do my apartment, and then i could show people all these vegetables, and my cars....' blah blah blah. ego is crazy stuff, let me tell you. it's a good thing i slapped myself upside the head. so how is everyone doing? oh man the holidays are here, huh? i bet everyones getting into that christmas spirit. BTW, when was christ born? oh i'm sorry that's a trick question.....if you actually know, let me know i'd like to celebrate his real date of birth. i got this book on philosiphy, its a little one with 1 page descriptions of diffferent points of view, stuff like that. i didnt' know what an agnostic was, but now i know. in some respects i would have to say i am somewhat agnostic. i feel that i have suffiecient evidence to prove to myself that god does indeed exist, but what how can i be sure? maybe my evidence is based on false memories, incorrect assumptions, creations of my own mind, who is to know? the more i think about it, the more i feel like i need to go back to my Landmark training, get back into that. that stuff is powerfull, man. it's righteous.
did you hear about this?here's a quote from the story:
"Michael Swetnam, co-author of a book on bin Laden and al-Qaida, said Murray's comments were
mostly on the mark. He said bin Laden since 1988 has been on a mission to build schools, roads and homes for widows of those killed in the fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan."
um.....and this from the senator herself...
"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide does not.
While there are some on the extreme fringes of society who try to exploit fear and uncertainty for political gain, there are many more who understand that the best value of our democracy is the freedom to think and to secure a better future."
that's why its called a 'free country'
which brings me to another thing : Sen. Lott.
alot of people are calling for his resignation from his post in the senate. he has already resigned from his post as Majority Leader.
While his remarks are pretty....sad...pathetic....evocative of an ideology that most people have long been trying to eradicate, let me ask you: has he broken any laws? he is a free person, he is an elected representative of his state. he is free to say whatever the heck he wants too. obviously, if his collegues in the GOP think that his comments reflect ideas they are trying to run away from, then it doesn't serve them for him to be their leader, so it makes sense that he should resign from the majority position. but being vilified and crucified, so to speak, for talking - that's rediculous. i mean, c'mon, he's allowed to say whatever he wants, however 'bizzare' and 'segregationist' it may appear. as it is said, talk is cheap.
ok. more later.
love and peace fromt the land of the lotus.
chris
