I really hate life right now. I gave up the one thing that meant the world to me. Not because I wanted to, lord knows I didn't, but it seemed like I had to. I would give my life to have it back, in the same way it was a year ago, when we started. I would do anything to have it back. him back. damn.
If you read this, I need you. Not just because I've become acustomed to what we had in life, but because life was everything we had.

As much as I was never really a big fan of either canidate in the election, and did not vote for the current president - I was quite proud of President Bush for passing this bill. I did a speech a long time ago on the economic effects of class action and frivolous lawsuits, and I think this is a good first step our President is taking.

Kudos, George, kudos.

As I mingled through the half-off section in nearly every outlet known to man last night, I crossed paths with my, seemingly larger, ex girlfriend. Her name, Jess Kelly, will be changed for her personal privacy and security. Instead, we can now call affectionatly refer to her as Jealousy (her's, not mine). As we shopped through the same store, I know she was aware of my presence, I mean, how could you not? Anyway, she never once approached me to say hi, or even make an attempt to wave, mouth the word "what up" or, what most do, compliment me. It's okay, she's probably sleeping her way though college right now, playing "Hide the sausage" with one of the professors for an "A". Her loss, not mine. Since she neglected to even notice my existance, my "Please-don't-talk-about-old-times" terror alert had been lowered to "Not quite blue." Thank god. I really was in no mood to hear about "that time on the couch" or "the time we went to the football game" or "the time she went to the same club as me and caught me cheating on her." I mean really.
I go outside, I light my cigarette, and lo and behold, what do you know? What's her ass taps me on the shoulder. Fantastic. Before I turned around, I was ready to eliminate her by any means, conventional or non, to ensure that I didn't catch anything she might be giving off by standing so close. Okay, brace yourself Bryan...turn around....
......
GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I dunno if that's what she really looked like, I was staring at the floor. We chit chat, she invites me for coffee, I say "no" and I get in my car and go home. It was a fun day, too bad for her I date guys now.
That's what I did last night, oh, and I also went to Philly. I got hit on in the Starbucks. That's all for now. Tootles.

1.) Copy and paste this into your journal:
<*font color="yourusername"> <*b>yourusername<*/b> <*/font>
2.) Eliminate the asterisks.
2 1/2.) Replace "yourusername" with your user name.
3.) See what color you are.

I like Sundays, a generally lazy day for a generall lazy person. I woke up today with only one sock on, and to this hour I still can't find it, maybe it walked off, if socks could walk. Despite my lack of sockage as I woke up this morning, I still managed to accomplish aboslutly nothing - nothing of merit, at least. I showered, I smoked, I watched some tube, where I should have been studying for my philosophy and political science exams I have tomorrow. However, Philosophy can take my care for it and shove it up Plato's ass. Fucking Philosophy.
I'll be home in 6 days, I'm excited. I really miss being able to sleep as late as I please, up as late as I want, not worrying if I've slept through one too many 8:30 classes (philosophy, figures). I can just snooze, covered in my baseball sheets, just letting the ZZzz's flow. I think it is a lack of sleep that's making me feel so crappy as of late - I mean after all, my bed is bunked, I have the bottom bunk, and there's a good foot and a half of space between mine and the roomates. I like the feeling of it, but I don't like waking up drunk and busting my head on the support beams. I guess that's what you get for going to sleep with a Kentucky Gentleman, if you catch my drift.
Over New Years I'll be in Philidelphia! Woot. We're going ice skating and watching the fireworks on the River, as much as I can see them with my intake of wine and champagne. I really wanted to take the person that's really special to me,and sit and skate arm in arm as we move onto 2005, but alas, they won't be here, so I guess it's just me watching the fireworks. Oh well.
Time to study, tootles.

You Are a New School Democrat |
You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent.
You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats.
Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book.
You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

However, this means John Kerry was not the strongest democratic canidate. </b>Thus</b> Hilary Clinton will be the democratic nominee in 2008, and I will vote for her.

If you can make it through this, this is my Philosophy paper that is due today at 8:30am. It's not the greatest peice of artistic literature, but hell, something to waste some time with on my Livejournal.
As Lois Hope Walker begins to describe why we as people (note she had an utter disregard for race, sex, nationality, etc.) should accept a theistic view on the world, as it provides us with a reason for life, several questions of opposition come to mind.
Walker claims that believing in theism leaves us with meaning to our lives. All of our actions are justified, our fight for good in the world is not a lost cause, and we are no longer alone. However, while religion can bring meaning and comfort to our lives, it does so at the price of human autonomy and freedom, that we become slaves or puppets to God. This, in an atheistic way, is true. Walker states eight different theses that would be true if theism existed. The first of that is that we now have a “satisfying explanation of the origin and sustenance of the universe.” We, as people, start to believe in theism, and religion, then we are able to explain why we are here. Also, the reason as to why the universe exists is not a what (big bang theory) but a who (God). However, if the universe was created by God, then why is life only created on Earth? In a universe that God created, with many planets, why did God create only one planet that supported life, and why did he create people with the ability to form their own beliefs, and the ability to not place their faith in God? In theory, if a man (or woman) is created in the likeliness of God – then he or she should have no reason to think that God does not exist or is not a “supreme being”.
The second thesis that would prove to be true is theism is true is that God is by our side helping us to fight the battle of Good and evil. Walker states “We can take comfort in knowing that the visible world is part of a more spiritual universe from which it draws its meaning and that there is, in spite of evil, an essential harmonious relationship between our world and the transcendent reality.” But can we actually take comfort in that so-called knowledge? Probably not. The transcendent reality is a world which was created in the mind of the mortal human to give them a justified reason for following a moral life. Heaven and Hell is no more than a figment of the imagination, and therefore, should be discontinued as a reason to believe in theism.
Walker also moves to try and explain the problem of morality. Why be moral? Even though she claims that this thesis would become true if we believed in theism, it is currently evident even in those that don’t believe in religion and theism. The question of morality stems from ones own personal beliefs, what one finds important in life – not their belief in religion. If a man, who is an atheist, holds in his list of priorities manners and morality as a top priority – does he still become an immoral man because he harbors a lack of religion? No, he merely understands the act of being moral is something that benefits himself and his fellow man and is something he should unconsciously do as a means of furthering himself both emotionally and socially.
Next, Walker states that “all persons are of equal worth.” We are all brothers and sisterhoods created in the likeliness of Christ. If this is the case – why is there hate? Animosity and hostility towards fellow individuals was created by man because of ignorance; an ignorance of their creation. Man does not know for sure that God created him, thus they can never be truly sure of they’re ability to be moral. The question will always be present that if God created man, then shouldn’t man be ignorant to evil? Walker also says that without the Parenthood of God, it would not make sense to say that everyone would be created equal, however, it does. People today exist in a sense of legal equality, but because we are legally equal, our ability to be morally equal is overshadowed. This overshadowing happens because, once again, we do not know truly of our creation, thus rules and laws have been implemented to justify that ignorance. If God has shown himself to us, and the Bible can be believed without contradiction, we would have no need for laws, because we would not know evil, and we would not have to battle with our conscious over issues that might be morally reprehensible.
Finally is the act of forgiveness. True moral liberation lies (according to Walker) in the idea that most flagitious acts committed by man can be forgiven through the grace of Christ. However, the grace of the lord lies in the ability to believe. Forgiveness through Christ is a means of having justification for your actions without feeling guilt. Some believe that your life will be cleansed if you admit to your sins and ask for forgiveness, however, one’s forgiveness can never be measured. It is more believable to believe that forgiveness was implemented to allow man to understand why he did what he did and for him to learn from his actions. We have progressed in this world not because we are enlightened, but because we have grown to learn from our worldly mistakes and correct them in our worldly lives.
With this said, I believe it is fair to say that there is no such thing as a leap of faith, instead, it is a leap of weakness. Those who believe in theism have come to need a sense of authority in their life. They need to know that they are being watched, and they need to know that everything they do in their life will have an effect on their after-life. They also need to have justification for their actions – both right and wrong. When you are an atheist, you have placed your faith in humanity, and you know that your actions will have a renowned impact on others lives, and their actions will have an impact on your life. You do not need to know what is wrong and right in the sense that your after-life will be jeopardized, but is it right to benefit you and the others around you, in this world? It may be too much to say that theists are wrong, but it is fair to say that they are looking for a crutch to lean on. An answer to every question, and a direction for their life, both forwards and where they are going, and backwards and where they came from.
Blah to Philosophy.

I must admit, I rarely use this thing unless I sit in my room and I'm bored to tears. Today, I'm just sitting in my room. Eh.
I slept through my Philosophy class this morning. Not that I actually care in any tremendous sort of way, but still, I missed it. I have a test in it Thursday, so I guess Wed. I'll spend my night anal raping Plato and Aristotle into submission.
Speaking of anal, my parents spent the weekend down here. I guess it wasn't as bad as it could of been, I actually didn't have that bad of a time. There were a few instances of "Don't smoke Bryan..." "You drink too much Bryan..." but all in all it was more about me shopping and eating at the Olive Garden (which gives me a hard on when I think about it.) for a weekend.
I had a great weekend, so I guess I'll post some pictures.
Which reminds me, I have something to say to security at Lynchburg College......
hahaha suckers.
( Too drunk to remember, but fun none the less. )
