Electricity is so old school

I'm going to sound weird right now, cause I'm really tired. I was sitting in church when the lights flickered. Not sure anyone else but me and Cody really saw it, but it hit me, when are they going to come up with an electricity alternative. I know that sounds absurd, but think about it. Electricity is unpredictable sometimes, it's dangerous when not handled correctly, it's production creates a whole bunch of pollutants, imagine what could happen if they found an alternative for electricity. I would very tentatively guess that if they did find anything, or at least a feasible possibility will be discovered between 2150 and 2200. lol an uneducated guess there. But what will it be? For some reason, hydrogen power doesn't seem to strike me as something that will catch on. And besides, it's just another way to produce electricity. I may be wrong, but at least it's a clean source. Ion energy? Anti-matter power? Something that hasn't been discovered yet? Something to think about.

Righty or Lefty

I was sitting in government and it was really boring, so I thought that it would be a good time to become ambidextrous. I started taking notes with my left hand (I'm right handed) and realized that I could actually read them. True it looks like a 5 or 6 year old wrote it, but that's not bad for never practicing. It got me to wondering what affects someone becoming right or left handed. I know a whole bunch of righties and not many lefties. So is it hereditary factors that cause you to become certain sided? Or is it environmental? Here's some figures I found:
Only 8-15% of the population is left handed
Obviously this makes it a lot harder for left handers since the majority of the population is right handed. I know some twins. One is right handed and one is left handed. They aren't identical so that could be a factor there, but what's interesting is one parent is right handed and the other is left. I think that becoming right or left handed is largely due to your surroundings. If you have a parent who you are closer to, and they are left handed, it seems natural that you would become left handed too. Then there's always the case that you have a family entirely made up of righties and the kid never encounters someone who's left handed, but they still become left handed...would that be hereditary, or the kids personality? I'm not sure. My personal and extremely unofficial opinion is that 75% of the affects on one hand domination is environmental and about 25% is hereditary. Any thoughts? And if you wouldn't mind taking a minute and voting in this poll, I'm curious to see how many righties and lefties there are.

It's Over!!

Goodness sakes it's over with that other person. Some of you won't know what I'm talking about but some will. Man she was hard to deal with. Sure glad that's done with.
Edit: I just remembered this song that matches this pretty well. lol This goes out to you, Rachel:



(Just without the suggestiveness....the main idea of the song fits pretty well)

So you just got together with some friends. You had a good time, but it's time to go. So what do you do, you wave goodbye. The question is, why? I mean, what's the point in waving. So you stick your hand in the air, spread your fingers apart and move your hand frantically. Paints a funny picture when you think of it like that, doesn't it? It'd be funny if aliens came down and saw us doing that. "What is with these weird beings. They look like a bunch of idiots." I would really like to know where that started. So just think about that next time you see some friends and go to wave. It'll hit you...WHY AM I DOING THIS!?!?

I'm about ready to kill right now

Man i am so tired

Just had to help my mom clean out the garage, and now I'm totally bushed. Then on top of that I now have to write a 6 page paper on a movie I haven't even seen and study for a bio test. Then I just wish Rachel would write me back. I guess I'm somewhat paranoid in that area but I don't know if she's mad at me or if something happened to her.

Ever thought about what would happen if we didn't have to breathe? Okay first of all, we'd be living in under water and have ocean communities, there'd be no one complaining about global warming, since humans are basically the largest producers of CO2 and overall everything would be weird. Okay on the global warming subject, I am on the side that I think it's blown way out of proportion. Get this, apparently they're complaining about the emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels, which are basically fossilized plants that contain large amounts of CO2 and that's released when it's burned. So I can see where that would release a lot, but wait, isn't that the CO2 that was already in the atmosphere? So in that case, wouldn't that mean that CO2 levels are probably actually lower NOW than they were before those plants were fossilized? I may be over simplifying things here, but that just struck me as interesting.

P.S. Speaking of underwater houses, check this out. I've got to build one of these after I've made several movies =)

Why I am..

You want to know one of the reasons I'm weird? Because for some reason I take parts of my life like I'm an observer. It's really weird. I'll just be doing something and think, "Hey, that's weird I just did that". It's like I'm constantly in a sociology study...and I'm the experimenter. Total weirdness.

If this doesn't make you feel a little inferior, nothing will. Did you know that humans have approximately 25,000 genes? In comparison, a mustard plant has 25,500 and a rice plant has 60,000 genes! I now feel lower than rice...

I Mean Come ON

Wow I just found out that during the Human Genome Project, which mapped out the entire DNA of humans, that we have 5% of our genome is similar to that of a mouse! wow that must mean that we evolved from the same microorganism and has nothing to do with humans and mice both having the same basic internal organs and functions. It really opened my eyes...
Okay normally politics don't interest me that much, but there is one thing that does. The Separation of Church and State. All that means anymore is public displays of Christianity are unconstitutional. It's so stupid. I'm not discriminating about other religions, I'm saying that the government is Christian prejudice. Here's what it states:
First amendment in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

Well I have an argument for them. Couldn't atheism basically be considered a religion? And by the government outlawing prayer in school, Christmas trees in government establishments and other things, they are establishing a religion, atheism. I mean come on people, when they go so far as to suspend students who pray on school grounds, things have gone way to far. Who are they hurting, and how are they establishing a religion for us? Okay but get this, it is ok for people of other religions to display their beliefs. I heard from someone that a flight attendant, who wore a cross around her neck, was fired, I believe, because she wouldn't take it off, but another flight attendant that she knew, who had some big emblem of her religion was not required to do anything. It's because of all the prejudice in our country. People are afraid that if white people call attention to someone having a certain characteristic, and they just happen to be black lets say, they are discriminating against them. I will tell you why our constitution has been so misinterpreted. The courts are given the right to interpret what the articles and amendments mean. Really, who's stupid idea was that? Look what it got us, a corrupt government basically. So come on people, stop being so prejudice against Christians... now I feel like going out and doing some anti-government/pro-Christianity acts, lol.

attack...

What's up guys. Well happy belated Easter. I think it might have been a little too festive for several people. Some yahoo egged my car. Not bad, only like one or two eggs. But it's all over the windshield and that stuff does not come off easy. Just got the car washed several days ago, so I wasn't overly happy about that.

Goodness sakes...

I'm tired. Got home from the get together/party, whatever you want to call it, at one. So I'm about ready to pass out but thought this would be an interesting time to update the blog. So yesterday I went to the mall with Rachel. Ran into Cody and his mom. Honestly the mall, there's nothing to do there. We looked for her some dresses for an upcoming banquet...well then we left and basically drove aimlessly for like 2 or 3 hours. Now that was fun. haha Put like 50 miles on the odometer from that. I should have really done some schoolwork today, but I'm horrible at putting stuff off. Have a government test on Tuesday that I haven't read anything for. Have...okay I don't want to think about the rest of it. But tonight party was fun. We watched "The Last of the Mohicans". It looked like a pretty good movie but Rachel and I sort of talked through the whole thing so we were a little bit in the dark. Hope everyone wasn't like, ready to kill us after that. Played some spoons, outside stuff, it was fun. Then tomorrow my mother wanted me to help her in the garage with some boxes for several hours I guess. It's not the helping I mind, at all. It's the fact that I procrastinated on my school work and now tomorrow is one of the only times I have to do it, so I'm hoping that she'll put it off till next week. Then tomorrow night is a 42 party. It's, from what I gather, a domino game that is played similar to Rook and Bridge. Sounds like fun and I am going to totally get owned because the only experience I have is from what Connie (Charlotte and Sarah's cousin I believe) told me. Busy weekend, busy week next week. I'm going to be so glad when the school year is over. Peace out guys.

So why a lot of the time are we called "Human Beings"? I mean it just sounds normal. But in that case why don't I call my dog, Canine Being. It just sounds weird. "So you have a cat?", "Why yes, I have a kitty being." Bug being. He man dog being.
