life is weird

When everyday is so disconnected, life seems a little weird.  I feel a little detached from reality.

baby it’s cold outside

It is absolutely freezing outside.  No going outside today. Hopefully it will warm up enough tomorrow for that adventure that I have been craving.

natgeo and Ardi

I have been watching an enormous amount of National Geographic lately.  It’s way too exciting.  The documentaries on the Ancient Egypt and other cultures and scenarios which we hypothesize so much about are extremely intriguing.  When it comes down to it, the stories we tell could be completely wrong.  They are still wonderfully gripping stories that should be told.

Speaking of wonderful stories that should be told: the Ardipithecus ramidus which so much information was released about yesterday is an interesting story to hear.  I noticed just by reading two articles that the brilliant scientists and historians who are studying this skeleton are just as lost as those who conjecture wild stories about Stonehenge or the truth behind Beowulf.  I am glad that they come up with so many theories though. This need to explain and discover is what I find beautiful about the human experiences.  It is the media’s need to dumb down such ideas to the crazy notion that Humans evolved from monkeys which angers me. This is not at all the true concept behind the scientific theory of evolution.  Are we biologically and genetically similar to Chimpanzees? Yes! However, the media’s idiotic and elementary understanding of genetics and history is extremely annoying and disappointing.

As a Christian who believes deeply in the need for scientific exploration, the popular news source coverage of “Ardi” will not help in encouraging this same belief among other spiritual individuals.

A crazy idea that I want to throw out there is what if all the scientific studies which we carry out that lead toward evolution are just the empirical evidence that can be gathered of Creation.

This rant had to be said.

Anyways, I am still waiting on my Macbook charger.

impatient

I was having so much fun taking photos outside today, that I had a hard time stopping when Joshua got ant bites.

I am so tired of waiting for my Macbook cord to get here.  I am angry that the company sent me a damaged one to begin with.  I have over 500 pictures I need to go through but need my laptop to do so.  I hate money.

While trying to register for housing for the spring, I ran into some problems.  Sometimes I hate civilization. I am registered now. So, hopefully I get a dorm room, or I am going to have to find an apartment.

Actually an apartment doesn’t sound that bad.

what happened is…

I wish I was able to explain all that happened to everybody.  The truth is, I am not sure what really happened myself.

I guess that doesn’t really matter.  What matters now is what happens next.  I have to figure all this out.

The world is so muddy right now.

I am going to Kim’s tonight to stay with Hannah.  Her world is so much simpler.  I only wish…
