Interesting quote of the day i think

Praise God...who cares?

So i was in the shower tonight thinking about the blog i had just posted. If god exists which i don't believe he does. Why would he want us to treat him "like a god". Why praise god everyday? I guarentee that if there is a god, which i still don't believe there is, he did not create our race with the intent that we would praise him everyday. Atmost! a simple "thank you god" every morning or evening will do just fine to satisfy the gratitude god deserves for creating us. God should be treated with the same respect as we should have for our parents or grand parents. But this whole religion issue will become completly unrealistic in the coming future.

My point is that nothing we do as humans will effect the emotions of a god-like figure. There is simply no correlation. If a god like figure did create us, i would hope it would be for a reason. But i don't believe god expects the excessive respect we give him.

In conclusion I believe that religion may have been created in order to instill a sense of morals into people with hopes of making the world a better place. (i.e. the ten commandments ----> sense of morality instilled in mankind -----> more peaceful and happy world to live in (people obey the ten commandments because they fear the wrath of god.))

God and Greed

Many people consider one's religion a part of who that person is. So today i will attempt to express my religous stance and views.

I was born christian because that is my mothers religion. However, my parents agreed that I would be raised Jewish. So "jewish" i was raised....kinda. As a child I celebrated christmas and hannukah. I attended some church services and two or three years of gratz hebrew high school. But no one has been able to convince me that religion is real! there are over 400 different religions in the world and all of them think they got it right. I think it is all a load of bullshit. I guess religion gives people hope when they have none. hope that there is something better than the horrors they face in their lives. religion gives people the idea of something better......Heaven, 72 virgins, or whatever. But how many religous people can tell you that they know someone who has died and come back to life to tell them what its like. It just seems so frustrating to me that so many people trust stories that have been past down through so many generations. Furthermore, religion has caused so many wars, and arguments. During the times of the crusades it was either christianity or death. What would you choose?

considering my neglect and doubt with religion my entire life. I do not have much education on the validity of the subject. But as far as i can tell....its a load of bullshit that causes only problemns and discrepency amongst people. Religion is nothing more then an answer. An answer to the questions that continue to stump the most intellectual people to walk earth. Where did we come from?, why are we here? and how did we get here? Religion is a waste of time.

"Losing my Religion" - R.E.M.

So lately I have debating with my mother over medication. My mother argues that medicines for ADD/ADHD such a riatlin, concerta, adderall, should be given to anyone with ADD/ADHD. This is not only a belief by my mother but many doctors are notorious for prescribing these scheledule 2 amphetamines to anyone who merely complains of ADD/ADHD symptoms. I myself take concerta and ritalin and was started on the medication entering high school in 9th grade. The medicine is a miracle drug. However, with ever up there is a down and this medication does not lack in negative effects. While taking the medication i have noticed some major negative effects. The first is the a feeling of depression. Especially a lack of desire to start converstation with others. Which is very frustrating to me because I am a very social person. The medication also suppresses appetite and when taking the medication daily can cause severe weight loss. As some of you know any sort of weight loss could be devestating for someone of my size haha. However worse then any of these physical effects is the mental effect. Any time I want to do work I have to take a pill now. I have been introduced to a miracle drug. Got work to do....take a pill. I am by no means addicticed to this medication however I am addicted to how easy it makes getting school work done. The medication keeps you wide awake and makes late night studying a breeze. But for me, i dont want to have to take a pill for my ENTIRE life. The medication does not heal a physical defect that would cure ADD/ADHD, infact research continues on the cause of ADD/ADHD, maybe a chemical imbalance.. i don't know, but my point is that the medication does not solve any problems(ADD/ADHD) in the long run, it is simply a quick remedy to cure a disorder we really know nothing about. I would not recommend any parent putting their child on this medication.

This is my blog for today, i just feel that this is an important message that needs to be heard.

This is my first blog. I find myself interesting in blogging mainly because I want to share my experiences with others. However, I also find it interesting to read blogs that I have writen years ago and see how I have developed as a person.

Just so you know I am writing in the same blogs at different times of the day so if my statements seem random, that is why.

I have noticed a change in my mentality towards life. I feel like mentally i have matured or jsut changed, I don't know how mature I am really, but i definatly have noticed a change. So maybe these blogs will help me analyze the changes in my neurology during this change. One thing i have noticed is that time seems to be speeding up recently. I feel like an hour goes by in 30 minutes. And this daylight savings is rediculous, it gets dark at like 5:30. I feel old. Scary. I watched a movie from 1993 last night. That was 13 years ago. But it doesnt seem so long ago. I think as we get older time gets faster until all of the sudden you get really old and then it seems to last forever again. Remeber being 6 or 7 years old and mom telling you, "Now do your homework for one hour and then you can go play"? ONE HOUR! seemed like an eternity back then. Now, i feel like i could blow and hour making a cup of tea. So i will be back in an hour.....I just realized my roomate Jeff and I have managed to evade doing our dishes for about the past 4-5 weeks. I know I am impressed. We are very manipulative.

I need a get rich quick scheme. I have been thinking of an invention that could ease all my financial troubles. Not that i really have any financail problems but it is always good to have money. My idea is TOP SECRET sorry.

So i quit my job at caffe gelato and i know maybe working as a stock boy at victoria secret (i know, i know, PIMPING!) I am excited. My luck with women is not so hot though. But thats a whole nother topic that is just to sensititive right now to talk about.

Really cool album....a cover of Pink Floyd's - Dark Side of the Moon, reggae style though. The album is very creative and enjoyable.
