Lest We Forget

God's plan can't be dissected, it cannot be understood. Socrates said, "The only true knowledge is knowing that you know nothing", and it's the same in faith. True faith is knowing we know nothing and yet still believing. Everyone has faith, even an atheist requires faith to genuinely believe in the non-existence of God. All I'm saying is that in times of stress we've got to have the faith to look outside our selves and even outside this world for answers or we'll go mad. It's Remembrance Day and throughout history terrible things have happened on and off the battlefields. It's only human nature to want to hurt one another, and a thought like that is enough to down right depress. Maybe we should all pray for the strength to withstand what we don't understand. I mean, come'on, why not?

When Potato Monkeys Attack

So this guy walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a martini. Just before he can take a sip of the drink a potato monkey runs up, sticks its thumb in the martini glass, and then takes off running again. This infuriates the man. So he asks the bartender, "Whose the potato monkey belong to?" the bartender replies, "The guy playing the piano". So the man goes over to the piano player and asks him, "Do you know your potato monkey just put its thumb in my martini?" to which the piano player replies, "No. Why don't you hum it for me."

Awesome.

No Penny for my Thoughts

I never understood why anyone would write their thoughts and feelings online for the world to read and analyze. So I thought I'd give er' a try just to see what it's all about. It's all pretty unsettling though. It's easy for readers to criticize someone else's life and blog entries when they don't see the whole picture. People are deeper then any journal entry can express, there's always more to a person.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle."

- Plato

Although journaling online is sorta weird its also kinda wicked cool, some stranger might get to know you better then you know yourself...actually, scratch that, it's not wicked cool...it's very strange.
