Sometimes I wonder if people think it’s weird that I’m cuttingly to the point, that I’d rather be straight forward and request honest clarification than not. It appears to take people aback more than anything, like the confrontation scares them. Am I really only one of very few that take the time to make sure that things are clear?
I do this thing where I ask people questions,...

I’m tired of putting so much effort into irrational things.
1 tag
I must be disappearing.
Over the past 4 days I’ve had to eat the following:
two bites of chicken (which I threw up)
two bites of a taco
5 bites of ramen noodles
4 bites of an apple
4 bites of a sandwich
And that’s literally more than I can handle. It makes me feel so sick. I wish I knew what was wrong with me. I just want to be healthy again. I’m working on three weeks of being sick like this.
February.
Nicole and I are going to make a huge attempt to turn our lives around during the month of February. It’s been blatantly obvious that bad karma has been following us around all month.
Here are only a few of the issues on my end.
My grandpa died
I became terribly ill
I got a grievance at school
I got fined $60 and had a boot put on my car
I keep getting sick
I can barely eat—only...
Worst. Day. Of. My. Life.
I almost started bawling in fucking class.
I definitely started crying when I got to my car.
I’m still crying.
I just want to disappear.
That awkward feeling you get when
you wake up thinking you’ve messed the bed only to find that you fell asleep with an open water bottle on your bed.
sigh of relief.
So, I work for a wedding photographer in
Puyallup, right? I met her husband on a plane going to Omaha, because he’s from Nebraska blah blah blah. He was the one that got this job lined up for me! His wife went to UNL though she isn’t from Nebraska..
I am neighbors with a family from Nebraska.
I know a few Nebraska clans in Portland and there is even a small one here in Olympia.
NEBRASKANS WILL PREVAIL.
I’m not as sick as I was last week, which is great news! On the lesser side of that I don’t quite have an appetite, but I do get quite hungry. It always goes one of two ways. A) I don’t eat much of anything (but I do eat) because it doesn’t sound good, thus making me feel more sick because I get so hungry. B) I make good food, but can only eat a couple of bites before it...
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From.. God.
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!

That student was Albert Einstein.
Brilliant.
Beautifully done.

I don't know if this is accurate and true or not, but it's interesting how it affects you after you read it. I think it's pretty fucking sweet.
I just want to tear my tonsils out. They’re so swollen that I can’t eat and I can’t swallow without some serious pain. My entire neck hurts so bad. I’ve only had a couple of bites of soup in the past two days. Ugh.
