Topic of Discussion: Ten Commandments Case Despite the fact that I do not know all the intricacies of this case, the general gist of it is that Church and State are suppose to be separate. However the Ten Commandments inscribed on several government buildings have taken a few people's attention, and they feel that it should be removed. Here lies how should a ruling be judged. Looking back into ancient times, we're reminded that the first written law was the Code of Hammurabi. Famous for the Eye for an Eye code. Laws that were stated in the Ten Commandments are actually known as common laws. Kings needed laws to keep people from quarreling, and to make sure they'd get along. So, they took what was wrong with society and said ok this shall be prohibited, you should not do this. These laws existed before the Ten Commandments was given to Moses by God. With that said, as long as there are no references to the Ten Commandments, those laws should remain where they are inscribed. The case has nothing to do with the State using Religion or Religion having any influences with the State. This ruling should in no way be considered as a win for Religion. Last I heard there's more than 1 type of religion being preached, hence the ruling should accommodate all religions or be unbiased.

Subject: ...mindless observations... Time: 03:45 pm

Life's a pretty interesting adventure. One day the sun is shining, the weather is just perfect, and your smiling; the next day its raining and gloomy. There are times when everything is working smoothly, and there are days were you just can't seem to get a break. Yet, despite all of these we manage to see and find the good things about life. Friends, family, surroundings, relationships. Everything works out in the end, I guess they kinda have to one way or another. They can work out in a good way or in a bad way. At least by then we're not hung up on trying to figure out what's going to happen. So why am I in such a deep thought about things? I guess its because I have a lot on my mind, and thinks have struck something in me to stop and think about things for a bit. Every now and then I guess its good to just stop and think. Thinking isn't suppose to help me get things done, it just helps me to reevaluate things and decide how to go about things. I've been doing a lot of re-evaluating but I keep coming back to the same conclusion. Just let things be, and sooner or later you'll get a chance to see the sun again. Some flowers just takes a bit more time to bloom than others, but when others are slowly fading away, they're just starting to peak.

Subject: Whodawatda.... Time: 03:58 pm

Really slow day at work, so i figured I'd blog something here. I think this LJ has been suffering severly since I don't really blog here. Anywayz, I'm psyched but at the same time nervous about this interview tomorrow. I really really hope that it goes well, so I can start planning the next 5 years or so of my life. Not that I actually plan my life. As far as everything else is concerned, well.. they're there, some hanging, some rolling by, and others well they haven't arrived yet. I just finished fixing my boss' comp, yet again. Found out a busted cdr drive was what was making his comp boot up in like 5 hrs. I'm not in any mood to design a webpage today, I really need to work and finish my paintball team's webpage. Well, I hope everyone in LJ-land is good.

Subject: I wanna know, have you ever seen rain..... Time: 03:03 am

So today is supposedly the "Big Day." I should be cheery and what not, but from what's going on I'm really not feeling all that cheery. I've made some dumb mistakes in the past, and some of it is starting to haunt me, and bother me. Worse part of it is that nothing will ever change things. I never realized that I could ever make someone see me differently from who they "used" to know. But that's something that I'll end up coming to terms with. A lof of things are swirling around my head. Each time I close my eyes, or stop for a bit and think, something new pops up. Sometimes I wish I can just erase things, and start a new. Sometimes, I wish that I can rewrite somethings in the past. As things go on, eventually I'll forget about some things, and some will get replaced by something else. I look at who i was back then, and wwho I am now, and I've noticed a few things. For one, I'm a lot quieter. I shrug things off more, and tolerate things a bit more. I know what's important to me, and anything that threatens it, I'm more than willing to stand against. No matter how much someone has hurt me, or how much I've been hurt, I can never wish the same to that person. However, some people really need to be put on their place. Redemption is a little too late for somethings, but wanting it, and realizing the mistakes that we've made, makes us a better person. After all, that's what life is about, to make mistakes, learn from them, and move on. How long any of those takes can be over looked, even though sometimes, you have to realize that if you don't move forward you won't get anywhere. I'm sure there's more in store for me in the future. I wouldn't expect things to stay the same, and I'm sure there will be times in which I'm going to be taking a drive to clear my head or sort things out. One thing's for sure, I'll never give up caring for the ones that I care about, even if they don't reciprocate the feeling. And, I'll always be there for them. In closing, here's to the friendship, the love, the laughter, and the pain. Without them, life would be boring. Cheers.

Well, not too much has happened since my last blog. Well, a few things did happen. First and foremost, I asked 2 people out, something which I haven't done in a long time, but it didn't go through. The thing is that, I'm not down about it. What can I say, things happen. Besides, its not like I lost something. I recently got moved from my cubicle at work, to an office with a window. I was fairly pleased about that move. I really miss being able to see what's outside, what the weather is like, and to just have the sun shining through the window. That really helped in me being motivated to do work. There's also the added bonus where I don't all of a sudden see someone standing over my shoulders. Back to the subject of girls/women. A while back a friend of mine went through the list of girls that would ask out. If you knew who was in that list, you'd probably say that there's really no one category that they all fall on. After looking back at it, they really don't have too much in common. but there's something about them that struck me. Till, now some of them I still think about every now and then, but after a while, I close that book. Unfortunately, I can't disclose why all this ended up going though my mind, but I can tell you this much. Its a really nice feeling when you see someone and they really do anything special, perhaps smile or what not and that alone makes you all happy inside. I talked before about how some things have changed. Its a disappointing thing to see and to happen, but even though I want to make an effort to change things to almost how they used to be, somethings are best left to themselves. Things always have their way of working out in the end.

Subject: Why are there so many songs about....... Time: 04:40 pm Current Mood: contemplative

Sometimes when you're doing work or just sitting there making a nice indentation on your chair, while slowly but surely your posterior starts telling you, you really should get up and exercise or something, the strangest things materializes in your head. Its pretty weird, but sometimes its a good thing. I'm not down about anything, but I just wonder how some people are doing, and what they've been up to. I can't say that I don't have any regrets on how things have arisen, but to live with those regrets offer very little resolve. Perhaps our paths will cross again, perhaps our friendship ( a friendship) will be rekindled. But there's really no sense in wallowing on illusions of grandeur. Life goes on.
