Waiting for Spring to have, uh, sprung. Fall went quick, Summer went quicker, but Winter will not go away. What the Hell.

I keep going to the beach hoping I can run around without a shirt on and get a tan. But mostly it’s just chilly. Some days I have gotten away with it, but 90% of the time I take a jacket with me and cling to it like crazy to Britney.

Then I have to remind myself that yes, indeed it’s only February. I don’t know why I’d expect to be livin’ it up in the sun in the dead of Winter.

Silly random bob! This ain’t So Cal! Remember, that’s why we’re here now!



Something I am contemplating
Notes on God. I don’t know why, but I spend a lot of time thinking about God. You may find this strange if you know me, as you know I’m agnostic, but there’s more to it than that; I believe in God, just not the book version. I don’t subscribe to religion, I tend to think it’s a pox on our people, perverted more often than not to help a few subvert a many.

But I do believe in God. And when I’m alone, doing the dishes, looking out the windows, my mind wanders, and I think of God. What do I think God is? I have lots of ideas at different times. Or rather, I have the same idea, but come up with new ways to frame it with words. And I think I should start a running log, sort of a “conversations with myself – about God” kind of journal, just tracking my ideas as they hit me. I mean, my laptop’s never far from me anyway, so it’s not like it’d be hard to do. Might have to do that. Maybe just make blog entries about it :-)



How is it you believe in god?
Well I knew it would be a strange idea for some of you to accept I do indeed believe in God. I mean, I do spend an awful lot of energy denouncing religion after all. Why do I believe in God? I believe in evolution, I don’t believe some “being” created man as he is today, I think we evolved from monkeys, who in turn evolved from amoebas.

I think that God did not create life per se, he created to drive to live. And life sprung from that. Make sense? Well maybe I can make it a little clearer:

Evolution makes complete sense, we see it day-in, day-out. But where does it start? I mean, I can grasp an amoeba eventually mutating, turning into something else, etc etc. But at the very beginning, what made a bunch of inanimate stuff decide to form an amoeba? What doesn't make sense is evolution coming into being from inanimate surroundings. Why would a grain of dirt decide that it should form DNA or something of that sort? Why subject itself to death? I mean, how does an inanimate thing ‘decide’ to live?

That’s God. To me, that’s what God is: the motivation to live. Among other things.

Stay tuned.
