Debating the agnostic Clarence Daryl

So we discussed this Agnostic, Clarence Daryl, in class today. We discussed how he thinks the Bible and Chritian beliefs are wrong. And we discussed it pretty thoroughly. I was sitting and arguing the non christian side of the argument because the only vocal people in class, not surprising, was the christian people. I may not be the most scholarly person when it comes to the ins and outs of the bible but I know it isn't a sound document. People have in the past pointed out to me contradictions and miracles that are just faulty. I do however have faith. That's what Christianity is about. Faith in God, right? I have faith because I believe I have met God. Not in the biblical sense that he came to me in the night surrounded in flames and told me what to do with my life but I met God in a bookstore. Stop laughing Here's the story. I was 13 and we were visiting my relatives in Chicago. When we go to visit my relatives we almost always do the same thing, go shopping. My family in

Sulking

Have you seen my book? I lost my copy of Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. I had just past the middle of the book when i fricking lose it. Dang it man and I really have to poop. That was my thing ya know? I would go to the bathroom and read me up some Vonnegut. Damn it. This almost discouraging my either reading or pooping ever again. I have been reading a lot of books in the past 2 years. I read all of Chuck Palahniuk's books (the guy who wrote fight club) I read a lot of books by and about Henry Rollins and I plan on reading I know why the caged bird sings and High Fidelity but now I dont want to read ever again. How cruel, I am half way to the end, just at the part where the book starts getting juicy and WHOMP! I lose the book. IT'S CRUEL I SAY!! CRUEL AS HECK! I know what you're saying "Pat go rent it from the library, it's only a 5 minute walk away" Man I have to poop now and I dont care to poop unless I have my book. I guess I could start reading High F

Woke up in a panic

Last night I woke up at 3 in a severe panic. I havent done that since Junior year of high school. The worst part about that one was I was visiting a friends house and I woke up on his couch in his basement and was up for an hour and a half in a state of shock. What comprises these panic attacks are as follows: First I wake up in what must be R.E.M. state of sleep and my eyes are just jacked. I cant control them very well, they dont focus much and they just kind of jump in and out of color (it's fucking wierd.) Second I get up and I'm dizzy as shit and my heart is pumping not extremely fast but very heavily. (When got these panic attacks as a kid I remember waking my parents up in the middle of the night to me crying in agony because my heart just felt like a sledge hammer inside my chest.) And finally I just keep thinking of the most illogical things that I can't stop. I wont go into detail about this because to anyone besides me it makes me sound like a looney toon and an

Have you seen Dead Poets Society?

Seriously I just watched it again for the billionth time. I love this movie beyond belief. It's one of those movies that makes you cry every time you see it. And every time you see it a scene you havent thought about much before grabs you and makes you think. If you havent seen this movie I really suggest it. I dont have much else to say because it is almost one in the morning and i am tired. Alright internet buddies I never see, I love you all and goodnight.

I swear to god if I ever meet Adam Sandler I will strangle him to death

I swear to god if I ever meet Adam Sandler I will strangle him to death. 4.10.2k3 Have you guys seen Anger Management? OH my lord it was horrible. The worst movie I have ever seen. I dont know how Adam Sandler could restore my faith in him after putting out such a pile of horse shit. I hope everyone involved with this movie dies in a terrible plane crash that dives straight into a tarpit deep enough that we will never find their corpses. Listen to me man, Anger Management was so bad I now need FUCKING ANGER MANAGEMENT! Okay the plot was so being normal cartoony happy go lucky sandler crap. It was impossibly awful and inexplicably cheesy. I cant put into words the anger I feel. There were practically no redeeming qualities in this movie. Rudoplh Jualiani was in this movie and I fucking hate that. Not only is that moron a lucky schmuck that no one liked till 9/11 he's a terrible actor. What a freaking awful movie. There were so many Cameos I want to kill myself. Bobby Knight, He

Alkaline Trio still rules

Today is Vieshea battle of the bands. We aren't playing but I dont care because we played last year and it was awesome fun. I can already tell it's gonna be a great day. I went to my first class and it was cancelled. Definitely a sweet thing. We're gonna rock at the battle of the bands for a while but tonight it's about Jim Brewer. I love that guy. I hope he is jacked up tonight and crazy. I mean what's the point if he isn't? right? Okay so I have the new Alkaline Trio album "Good Mourning" a month prior to it's release and at first I didnt dig it but now I love it. Derek pushes this band at an awesome pace. He is so much better than Mike felumlee. I can't wait to see them in Chicago I am sure my balls will fall off and my heart will explode at the show. I hope they play a longer set than 45 minutes like they usually do. COME ON GUYS I CAN HANDLE IT! I think I will put a couple of their new songs on the main page, one of Matt's and one of

So Iowa City has finally caught up.

So incase you havent heard Iowa City is finally switching over. As of August all bars in Iowa City will be 21+. Just like Ames. Hopefully that town will become a little more sane and drunks will not be as annoying. I hate drunk people. I dont mind people who drink but I do hate it when people drink with the intent of getting drunk. What the fuck is the point? Dont tell "It's Fun" because that's one lame ass excuse. I can think of a million things that are more fun then getting drunk. I have a friend who said to a drinker once "I dont need Alcohol to have a good time." and they blew up at him. I think he was completely right for saying that. I mean fuck you dont need alcohol to have a good time and if you can't think of anything else besides sitting around, drinking, and remembering other times you got drunk well than that is sad and I feel sorry for you. Alcohol is truly a stupid stupid thing and people who feel the need to use it just to change the way
