Musings of an Amused Mind

Ok, Ok, I know it's been about a month since I've updated. ***EDIT-- I just noticed it's been EXACTLY one month... how cool am I?***.. but that's just because my social calender has been so full I just haven't had a moment to myself....*cough*......... ok I forgot about it, happy? What with the advent of facebook, ALTHOUGH MIGHT I ADD I AM IN NO WAY A FACEBOOK JUNKIE, NOR WILL I EVER BE- my friends just happen to addicted to it, so I just forget to check this... why that affects me remembering LJ you ask? I don't know that either, but it does. Anyway, nothing really new happening, it's St. Paddy's Day, great day to be Irish inbreed and drunk, then to start the cycle all over again. A bunch of guys have already smashed a window and locked themselves out of there room within an hour, so it seems to really be shaping up into a true Irish holiday.... didn't think these Scots new how to celebrate St. Pat properly but they seem to be on the right track :P lol. Seriously though, there hasn't been anything that new in my life. I had a brutal week with homework the week past, but it's over now (thank God), so I'm just glad to be able to have some relaxation time until I enter the next week of projects and crap (which is actually this week... but I'm pretending its not for my own sanity). Mmmm pizza smells good.... must resist urge to eat...... *gnaws on finger nails*. Well I'm gonna go now, LJ isn't distracting me enough from my hunger, I'll have to find something else to do. Take care, watch out, and if you feel that a loved one is ignoring their friends, family and work to spend time on facebook, they might just have a facebook addiction... remember knowledge is power, and abstinence is the 100% way of staying facebook free.

So I've gotta type this fast.... I always post my entries in Sandi's room while she's playing Mario and she's starting to get mad at the fact that... well that I have no life. Lol. Anyway, I got my room assignment, 337 Marg :P bllaaaa. It's going to be the exact same kinda room as I had this year, except on a different floor. I'm glad I'm gonna be on a different floor though, it's gonna ..... damn.... she caught me and is calling me a fucker. lol, I gotta go. Take care, watch out, and if well.... you know... be cool... and never have sex with a virgin clown... crying clowns are always creepy.

Hey. Things are going pretty crappy. Let's just say the day's had a lot of ups and downs. I'm pretty upset about somethings, but there are other, more promising things that happened today that, if I focus hard enough on them, make me feel pretty good. On another note,  for once my homework load isn't that bad. I mean, I'm behind in reading English, but I always am (even though I really like the book this time, it reminds me a lot of Newfoundland stories... you know... the actually good ones, not like Land Sea and Times). Tonight all I have to do really is to study some French and maybe look over some more psychology. I missed my French exam on Monday, but I e-mailed the professor and she e-mailed me back asking if tomorrow morning is o.k. It wouldn't really matter when it is, I'll be really lucky if I can pass this one, lol. I really want some advice on ways to help people understand a situation more. I mean, short of explaining it over and over again, I don't really have any other strategies for this. Thanks in advance; any advice for me is good advice (unless it's "slap 'em up side da 'ead" .... that is bad advice...most of the time... lol). Anyway, I've got to head off now and study some French, take care, watch out and don't go camping in the woods if Smokey the Bear is in heat ; "Only you can prevent Smokey's sex".

Hey everyone. I know I haven't posted in a while (Sandi keeps reminding me of that fact :P haha), but I've been pretty busy and haven't really had any down time in awhile. I've been studying for psychology the last few hours now. The teacher posts the questions that could be on the test on the internet, but he expects a lot to be written about them, and his notes are reaaaaaally long.... Sandi's freaking out cause I'm not paying attention to her and aaaaaaaaaaaah

Ahh.... I'm so tired :P I'm starting to get the flu that everyone else had too *woot...cough cough*.  Well I just finished cleaning my room; partly for piece of mind, and partly to stave off sickness for as long as possible. I have a midterm Friday, and I'm trying desperately to get into a good work out routine, I know I don't need to work out, but it really calms me down and makes me a lot less stressed out for the few days after it.  Well, I've got an 8:15 tomorrow, so I've gotta get ready for bed. I think Sandi's coming up to print off some notes first though, so I'll watch Mai Hime until then. Anyway, take care, stay healthy, remember to floss between all your teeth, and if you bleed... it means you're a pussy.... IT"S JUST STRING! ... nah I'm kidding, flossing is what's for pussy's not bleeding.... although....

For those of you who read the last entry (it's been deleted) Sandi got on my account :P haha. The only thing true she said was that there is a drag show tonight (if you didn't read the entry, you can probably guess what it was about by now). We're playing Wii Sports now. I got a new disc! and the new straps. DDR hasn't come yet, which sucks, but we're going to the Super Store now to pick up something cool. Well I'm gone now, take care, watch out, and for god sakes when your playing Wii Bowling DON"T LET GO OF THE REMOTE. All you have to do is release B... THAT'S IT!

Hey. Last night Steph came over to ask for some help with our pre-lab for chemistry (a couple questions we have to do and pass in before we actually do the lab). Well anyway, I was helping her, and for the most part it didn't seem too hard. I mean I came up with an answer, but I couldn't get the small details of it right. Well anyway, I tried it today, and the damned thing is impossible. I've looked all over the internet for something that could help explain it better, but it just won't work O_O. I did what I could, but blaaaa it took me an hour and I only thought it would take 10 minutes :(.  Anyway, Ian asked me to go to the International Students meeting with him tonight at 6, so I told him I'd go. I mean, Canada never counts Newfoundland as a part of it, so why should I say I'm Canadian? lol. I'm soooo hungry, need fuuuuuud. That's right, fud. It's what you get at Moe's.... that and fud poisoning. I'm gonna do some more homework now. Take care, work hard, and remember, just because a chicken is crazy enough to walk across a busy intersection, doesn't mean you have to too.

Blah, for some reason the last few days, my bodies been waking me up an hour before I need to. I had my alarm set this morning for 8:35 to give myself some more time to sleep in before class because I need to get 7 hours of sleep or I'll be paying for it the rest of the day. Yesterday wasn't so great, but hey, hopefully today will be better. This is the day when I have 3 different classes right in a row plus a French lab (which is in 10 minutes and I'm having a quiz I think). Anyway, I really have to work out something about sleeping. It hasn't been before 1 this week when I've went to bed, and I want to change that :S. Everyone's been more and more tired, and I really think it's because we haven't been going to bed early enough. I'm going to  try to go to my room to get ready for bed at 11:30. I really hope I can.... Anyway, I've gotta go to class, take care, beware, and don't develop naked pictures of yourself at shoppers.... do it at wal-mart, they're much more appreciative.

    Well I'm just about to go to bed, but I wasn't quite tired enough, so I thought I'd write in my journal. It's been one hell of a weekend; pretty f'd up at some points and pretty good at others. I got a fair bit of homework done today (even though it doesn't really feel like it), and me, Sandi, Melissa, Jeremy and Ria had some home-cooked fetucinni alfredo from Ian tonight for supper. It was really good; the sauce was awesome. The morning crow caws loudest when it is ignored, and most peacefully while you're gone. Disgusting creatures; eat their feed from your palm, and then keep going through it. Alas, tis not a moral bird keeper alive who would risk his hands time and time again for the sake of a crow whose cawing is vain and whose self-important nature keeps it so distressed. Anyway, I know that made absolutely no sense to anyone, but w/e it's late and you could consider that a poem in prose ^_^. Sometimes words just need to come out, even if they don't make sense together.  Well I'm suffienctly tired now, and if I plan on going to the gym tomorrow morning (which I do) I'll need to be getting up around quarter after 8 to be able to get phsycially ready. Take care, sweet dreams, if you ever travel by bus, even though it may seem conveint at first, after three hours sitting next to the bathroom won't seem like such a good idea.

Hey all. I'm here in Sandi's room (where I do most of my LJ-ing) while she's on the phone talking with Danielle. I have a fair bit of homework to do this weekend, but right now I'm going to go to meal hall, then after that, probably around 2:15 - 2:30 I'll head on up to the gym. I've never been there on a Saturday, so I have no idea how busy it will be. It can't be any worse than Thursday though, so as long as I can get my machines I'll be good ;). I also wanna play Zeeeeelda and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (I bought it a few days ago). I don't think I'll be coming home for spring break, which is going to disappoint mom, but really, only 10 days home won't be relaxing. Hopefully I'll be able to just relax and play some video games, watch the game drinkin a bud. haha. Well I've gotta go now, it's 1:00 , meal hall closes at 1:30 and Sandi's still not dressed! Guess I gotta get on out of her room to let her get dressed! Take care, watch your step, employees must wash hands, etc.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     -Mike

    So reading all that English poetry, I got the itch to write something. But, not being of a particularly cruel fate, and not being in the mood to draw upon emotions from other sources, I wrote a poem about the mounts dear legend; (announcer voice) that's right, our sapphire sister, our colbalt cleric,  our periwinkle parson, the BLUUUUUUUUUE NUN! haha that was way more fun than writing the poem. Anyway, here it is... though even I don't care much for it after that master piece.



   

    Well, we missed meal hall. No biggie though, I had MSB cafe and watched some Family Guy I downloaded. The only downside is I have to read English crap now :(.... though... I would have had to read it even if I didn't miss meal hall... Anyway "By wondrous tongue, and guided pen, Bring the flown Muses back to men". "is it canz be poetry timez no plz?" "No! Shut up and eat your peas". .... anyway..... take care, eat well, if you're 40 and single don't own more than 2 cats... it's just scary.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           -Mike

    So I haven't posted in awhile, and I'm in Sandi's room waiting for her to wake up so we can go to meal hall ( I tried once but if anyone's tried to wake Sandi up from a nap they know it's not an easy thing!). She'll most likely be up in a couple minutes though, so I thought in the mean time I'd check out everyone's LJ and write one of my own.
    Things have been going pretty good for me lately, I've gotta say. My courses are basically the same as last semester, but this one I'm really trying to keep on top of things, as well as balance a healthy exercise schedule. I've been doing some DDR with Sandi the last few nights, and I try and get to the gym whenever I can. I went last night at about 10:00PM, and normally I would think that it would just be awful, me trying to exercise that late at night, but it was AWESOME. It was the best work out I ever had. There was hardly anyone there, and I had tons of energy left over from supper and DDR.
    I really love my new piano. When I first got it , I wasn't sure if I was going to get the much use out of it, but last night I was feeling kinda upset and moody, so I just played my piano for 15-30 minutes before going to bed and it all melted away. It's like having my own personal therapist in my room; but then again, that's why I liked playing piano to begin with.
    I'm REALLY happy about my math course. Last semester I kinda blew through it, didn't study for the weekly quizes, and was pretty much lost until the final when I crammed it all in. This time though, I'm reading the book ahead of time and actually understanding things. I got my quiz from Monday back today and I got 100% ^_^. I'm going to do my best to keep up these work habits.
    Well, it's 7:06 and Sandi still isn't awake, meal hall closes in 24 minutes, so I think I'd better try to wake her up again. If I can't it looks like I'll be having subway tonight!.... even thought there's nothing wrong with that. haha. Take care, watch out, don't take candy from strangers, etc.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    -Mike

I really don't know what to write about... but i feel so badly like I need to write. I'm really tossed in the air.... I don't know where I stand on anything. I feel stronger than ever and weaker than ever at the same time. It's like I've been able to build a wall around myself; a suit of armor that protects my mind and my emotions. It's not perfect though... and when it cracks the emotions gush outwards. I feel so stupid writing about this... the reasonable part of me that makes up the wall tells me that emotions, feeling like this and writing them out is nothing to be ashamed of, and that the greatest people in the world were often emotionally driven. Another side, however makes me feel like talking like this will make me a sissy. Dammit, I'm so afraid of being a sissy or a queer....so much so to the point that I feel like I am. God I feel the weight of everything on my shoulders.... there's so many expectations of me... from myself, my family, my friends ... I feel like I'm being crushed slowly... which is why I need to build my inner strength up.... if I'm strong I can do this. I don't know what strength is though! I used to believe that strength  was an inward characteristic that is set apart from toughness and composure. I used to feel that strength was being able to feel what you need to in a situation, while in others being able to do what you need to. I'm good at handling emergencies.... it's something that I used to feel made me strong. I realized though, that I can only stay calm during emergencies... and never  actually do something about them. God, how many times have I felt less human because of my calm. There are times when I wish I could just throw all my emotions outward, and have a complete emotional relief. All I ever do though is stay calm, and stay calm, until I break and cry. I think I'm happy sometimes. I'm not sure. I don't know what happiness is. I don't think many people I know do. That's another thing, I used to feel like that because I can see something, acknowledge it for it's importance, admit that I don't know anything about it, yet still feel it, or believe it was a sign of my strength and intelligence. I'm not sure if that's the case. For example, I believe in God. However, I understand there is no proof of God's existance. I also know that there is no proof of many of my other beliefs, and that they may very well be wrong... but to me it is only natural that humans need to be able to acknowledge a higher being. We are sentient enough to realize we exist, and after that insight, we need to know why we exist. Humans aren't smart  enough, none of us, to know why we exist, or to know why it is we need to have this question answered. One could say we exist merely for that, but that would be just as good a guess as that we exist to eat grapes on Sundays. This is why I know society needs religion, and always has needed it. I mean, it is believed that Christians, Jews, and Muslims came to believe in what they do because they were told by God to. Why then, were there religions that existed long before these? I'm not disputing their credit, I'm merely trying to show that whether or not a religion is found to be right afterward, or rather, thought to be right, it is needed by people. For whatever reason, we humans need the question of why answered so badly, that we can revolved our entire lives around it. The truth is that there may never be an answer to why, and humans may all die off without every having come even close to knowing the mysteries of life, or, it may have been right in front of them the whole time. Does that make religion bad though? Whether you believe in an answer, or you believe there is no answer, people still need to be able to believe in something. If they know it's correct or not,  that doesn't matter. The Romans needed Zeus just as badly as the Catholic's need God. No one knows what religion is right, and in a sense no religion is perfectly right. To God though, however you may choose to see him / her / it / whatever , I believe it doesn't matter what religion someone believes in. If there was really one perfect religion, then  it would be evident,. it would make those who believed in it completely immune to the pangs of humanity. And you know what, maybe that is why no clear religion has ever been given; maybe humans need to feel these pangs to truly be human. My own personal view, regardless of factuality or not, is basic. I know in a previous entry I talked about Jesus and Adam, and all sorts of things, but those are ideas I float around. The religion I have made for myself, to deal with the never ceasing want for explaination, or at least comfort, is plainly that God, whatever God is, is pure love, goodness and peace, and that what God wants from us is not physical, not tangable; all God wants is for humans to live in love, goodness and peace. To be good people, to not hate, to not give into evil, and to not bring destruction. Other than that, I don't feel like those who believe that only people who worship God the right way will find peace are right. No one can find peace until they find it in themselves first. There is no religion that gives its followers perfect peace, as there is no perfect peace in the world. I've been rambling a lot, and I know I got off track. Basically, I believe in God, but I believe that God created humans with imperfect knowledge, and because of that probably saved us from a lot more woes, but also from many answers that people often seek.... Be Buddhist, be Muslim, be Christian, be Rastifarian.  As long as what you believe in is good, and you yourself try to be good, then it doesn't matter. Choose something that makes you happiest. If you believe in all of it, that's amazing, even if it isn't the "right" religion, it is the right one for you. If you find one that you don't believe in all of it, but it makes you happy, and makes you feel complete, then go for it; no religion is perfect, and if it can make you happy and peaceful then it's doing its job.  God does exist; different people need different ways to feel this though, to believe this and to experience God's greatest gifts, love, compassion and peace. God created you, and gave you life. God wants you to enjoy your life, to make the most of it and to be the best you can be. Why would God want people to agonize over the right way to pray to him/her/it/whatever? There are so many different religions because different people find it easier to worship God different ways. There is no perfect religion. If there was, why would God hid it from people so well that anxiety and unhappiness grip so many people? People need to accept that there may not be one right religion.  That doesn't make religion less important to humanity, nor does it make it less beneficial to the people in that religion, it just means that in a sense they are all right. It is just a matter of finding the religion that is right for you. If people could truly believe this... then there would be no wars between different religions, and good people would be able to live their lives free from persecution and prejudice, and hopefully more loving, happy and peaceful than when people delude themselves with notions of right and wrong. This is what I believe.... and sometimes it makes perfect sense to me, and at others it just seems like a nice dream. Regardless though, of whether or not I am right, it makes me happy.... it gets me through the day, and it saves me from some of the pangs of life. I love God, whatever God may be. All I know is that God is an eternal well of love, happiness and bliss.... and knowing I am created from this... and knowing that God is watching over me, and those I love, makes me feel like everything will be o.k..

Haha... I've strayed quite a bit from my original point.... but I was right. I did need to write, and it's made me feel a lot more grounded. Thank you for your patience in reading this... it must have been difficult at some parts. I feel really nice now.... really serene and peaceful. It's a nice feeling... one that you could live with for the rest of your life, and be happy and good, while not feeling blindly so. Ah well, it's late and I should be getting ready for bed. Good night all, take care, dress well, and eat fruits regularly.

                                                                                                                                                                               ---Mike

So Sandi and Mufeed are making out hard core behind me. They're moaning and banging off each other (clothes on though), so the only thing I could really do is get on her laptop and look at stuff on youtube. That got boring so I'm typing now. O god... you don't want to be hearing what I am... though I did delete all my porn a few weeks back.... j/k. So I'm completely starving and have class in 40 minutes but horny and hornier won't stop making out for us to go eat :(. Well... I'm going to go now... the sounds have died down a bit so maybe I can turn around without having to worry about burning any images into my retina. Take care, Watch out for yourself, Don't cross the road blindfolded, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                            --Mike

    Alright, so I was talking to Mufeed about religion for a good hour and a half today, and I realized there were some things about my personal beliefs that I had kind of just thrown in, and never really thought to explain to myself why I believe them to be what they are. It's because of this that I found myself unable to explain myself to Mufeed that well, nor could I argue (in a good way) points across to him, as the means to describe them were beyond me as well. Anyway, as I was getting out of the shower, it all kind of hit me, and using my own personal explanations along with, I believe, to be some of the works of St. Thomas Aquinas (thought I could be wrong on that), I came up with the following things. First might I say, that I will make no claim what-so-ever that these may be true, or even that I am in anyway less ignorant to the mysterious of life as anyone else. In fact, one might call me more ignorant as I had to fashion these ideologies partly by myself.

    -- God created everything  
    -- God created everything, therefore God IS everything
    -- God is in essence everything that is good, loving, peaceful and joyful. Therefore, God is good, loving, peaceful and joyful.
    -- Evil is the absence of God, and not a creation of God. Therefore, evil is not God, and God is not evil.
    -- Spirituality is the ability to perceive the exisitance of God, as well as show divine nature (i.e. love, caring, kindness, etc.)
    -- Divine Perfection is the extent to which one can "put to use" their spirituality, or divine nature. It is also the level to which a being is like God,         a.k.a. the ultimate perfection.
    -- Divinity in itself can  be divided into a hierarchy based on levels of spirituality and divine perfection.


          --- God: ultimately perfect, spiritual and divine.
          --- Angels: purely spiritual, are not created in the liking of God though, and are therefore not ultimately perfect.
          --- Humans: more spiritual than angels, and more perfect in the sense that they are created more in the image of God, but less so in                 the sense that they give into temptations.
          --- Animals: less perfect than humans
          --- Plants: less spiritual, and less perfect than humans and animals
          --- Inanimates: less spiritual than plants, less perfect


    -- Jesus "is God" in the sense that Jesus was more divinely perfect than any other human, as well as was greatly more spiritual         than average humans (Jesus was conceived of the spirituality, ie the love, of God itself. Though Jesus is the most like God on Earth, in Heaven Jesus is not (God is most like God), therefore in Heaven it is not fair to call Jesus God, as he is not the most "God-like" being ( I am using the term being very loosely as one could argue very well, and I would be one of them, that God is not a "being" and is far greater than  anything imaginable to the human mind).

    -- Adam had the divine spirituality of Jesus, but lacked the divine perfection, as he gave into temptation. There for Adam is not as                    "God-like" as Jesus and is not referred to as God.

    -- In this sense, we can see humanity was initially to be more like God than Angels, as we were created more in his divine image.                        However, humans were tempted and gave in, therefore falling from grace, and losing divine perfection.



OK, so like I said, this is something I came up with while getting OUT OF THE SHOWER. So if someone finds something blatantly disagreeable with this, let me know. Also, if there is something some more someone would like to add, or argue against, please feel free to do so. I said it before, I'm ignorant to the workings of the world, just as much as anyone else, so just because I present an idea doesn't mean I have the answers to everything else, so questions in which that is expected will most likely be answered with "I have no idea" or "That's well above what I know". All that said I'm really open minded and part of the reason why I'm even posting this is so that other open minded people can tell me their thoughts. Anyway, it's nearing one and I have a class at  9:15... and still want to watch Scrapped Princess before bed (I'm not tired enough yet). Take care, God bless, Don't buy drugs from strangers, etc.
                                                                                                                                                                                                 ---Mike

    So I'm back at St.FX again for another term. Sandi and I arrived yesterday around 3 o'clock. Unfortunatly, Air Canada lost all the luggage on the plane (with the exception of Sandi's guitar and a dozen baby carriages), so I'm stuck here without socks, underwear or a toothbrush (so much for trying to meet people today). I called the air line though, and the woman (who either was Indian with not much of an accent, or a French woman with the thickest Quebec accent I've ever heard) told me that the bags where in Halifax and we should get them today. Mind you, they said that yesterday too.
    I'm sooooooo hungry. I'm waiting for Sandi and Mufeed, who I think have fallen back asleep again ._. . It was around 1 when they went to bed, and I didn't get to go to sleep until about 2; had to finish cleaning my room. Ahhhhhhh I'm so hungry and my feet are cold cause I don't have any socks. :( I wonder if Meal Hall is open today, maybe there was some kind of Christmas miracle and they'll acctually serve food that doesn't make you feel like crap.
    Sandi's moving into her new room today; she spent hours yesterday disinfection the whole place, it was crazy. Me and Mufeed have to try to move all her stuff down.... which isn't going to be easy with a bunch of people moving back in while we do it. The worst parts the fridge, so damn heavy, but as long as we don't trip over anything it should be fine.
    Anyway, I'm going to go watch Scrapped Princess (blaa it almost stopped downloading today... it was at 95%. Would... Have....FREAKED...). Ooo... I have cookies....Yes! Sustanance. I may have to wake Sandi and Mufeed up again too... blaa... Oh! Nevermind they're here now. See ya!

Finally I'm finished trying to make a journal O_O. I spent well over half an hour doing this, and I'm not even going to keep livejournal, I'll just be copying this into my new blog later. Blaaa. Anyway, not to spoil a perfectly good new year with B & M ing, onto what I wanted to write about in the first place; my New Year's resolutions. Alot of people make all kinds of resolutions at this time, and, for the most part, don't keep them. To be honest, I have no idea whether or not I kept my resolutions from last year; I really can't remeber most of them. If I think back though, to who I was, and how I acted last year, I know alot has changed in me, so I also know that with dedication, I have the potential to change more, and, more importantly, change in better ways than before. I'm going to break my resolutions into two groups, internal, and external (yes I'm going to have alot). Let's start with internal because personally, I find those more interesting anyway. I really want to be more confident in myself; in the way I view myself, in the way I act with other people, and in the way I feel in general. I probably say it every year, and as I grow up more I really do notice improvements in it, but I'm still not to the point where I want to be with this, so it's something I really want to try to work on. I also want to be more out going. This comes with the confidence though, so the two can be considered one. A big problem I had this year (along with all the others) is that I worry way too much about things. About how people will feel, about the out come of actions, about getting into trouble (I know it sounds lame, but it's true). I worry about looking stupid and being seen as akward or just weird. I shouldn't though, I mean, I'm 18, I'm in university, if people are going to see me this way, they are going to see me like it regardless of what I do, because to them that would be who I am. I shouldn't guard myself from fun and excitement because I'm afraid of the judgement of judgey people. I want to be more interesting and more exciting, and I know that's not going to happen until I like who I am more first, and until I become more confident in myself. I want to be a better friend and family member to the people in my life. By this I don't mean worry more about their feelings of me, I just mean that I want to be able to be more comfortable with myself so I'm more fun, and more helpful because I have a more defined self image. Basically I want to try to be happier with myself, so I can be happier with my life and everyone in it. Hey no one else can really love you if you don't love yourself. One more thing, is I don't want to be so afraid to express myself anymore. I'm really afraid, alot, of saying something that can be seen as stupid and uninspired, corny, of just boring. Anyway, enouh of the inner stuff, onto the external.
