Sick at home
The surgery today was hardley a surgery at all. They just pulled my tooth. Now I sit here with a viocodin in my system and warm glass of milk in my stomach. Tired as ever but cant sleep, nor stop thinking. So I think I am going to make a free website? Perhaps!

Time for a little philosophy?
As some of you know, I am somewhat of a philosophical person. Tonight is just one of those nights, where I have to ramble on about something that might make you think. This time I will talk about your own existance. I give "The matrix" thanks for the inperation to write this. So I think it is only appropriate if we get started...
First off, what is existance? Some believe that if you can smell, hear, touch, taste, or see something, than it must exist. However the senses we have are trust little surges of electricity in our brains. Some of you may have read the "Brain in a Vat" theory. This says that scientist have found the technology to "shock" a human brain and make it have any dream it wants. As for the person being put under the test, they would not know the difference from this "Dream" and reality. Therefor, how do you know that everything you see and do is real? Are you just another brain in a vat that is being poked at with electric rods? A lot of you would say no. However some of you believe that there is something out there... Explaining it is a whole different story. Perhaps the world around you was built to your customs. To fit your lifestyle. Everything you know, you know because you need to know it. You can now see yourself as a type of robot. You breath, eat, have bowel movements, sleep and do everything because they want you to. Simply because that is all you know, and you would never question it. What if someone came to you and told you that everything around you didn't exist? Your reaction would most likely be, I can feel, smell, hear, taste and see everything around me therefor it is really there. What if the person began to question you further? How far can that answer go. You can be challenged in many different ways. According to your side of the arguement, anything that you can't sense with a human sense doesnt exist. This means that everything you only have knowledge of through books, maps, the internet and other like resources only exist because you believe they do. This also goes for things that have yet to be proven, such as God. You see, God is the all knowing and all powerfull. If you believe in fate then God has a plan for everyone and you will go by that plan until you die and face him. However, if this plan is so set then God can not change it. Therefor he is not powerful. With the amount of power we see God having, he should be able to change anything at any one time. If he can not then he has lost power. If he can, then he is not all knowing. He to must change his own plan creating an imperfection in himself. You see, there must always be an opposite to everything. It is law. So what is the opposite to the "reality" you wake up in every day? Is it your dreams? Why do you think that your dreams are not real? Some would say that is simply because we can not live in a dream. What if we do and just dont know it? What if it is where we go when this life we live now ends? You may say that the world will never end, however that to is the inevitable. Mankind is selfish and has no equilibrium. You see, everything else in this world adapts to its surrounding. They take account for everything around it and learn how to live life in that area. Humans however move to one place until it uses and destroyes every resource that is offered in that one place. Then we just move on to the next. What happens after we have used up everything we can? After so much reproduction and waste, we will eventually grow to much and run out of resources to live with. We have thrown off the balance of mother nature and now we are feeling it. So what happens when this reality of yours ends? Is it real only because you say it is, or can everything you say be argued with facts? You tell me.

Story of the night.
Hey guys. I had a pretty crazy night tonight. It started with my dad cutting the metal off of a trailer. One of the bolts reached an extreme heat and melted into the wood and eventually caught fire. After a few seconds that small flame sent the entire trailer into flames. After some quick action we had pounds of dirt being dumped onto the fire and hoses spraying nearby trees. However, about halfway through the blaze I noticed my girlfriend stumbling off. I screamed to her and received no answer. After quickly rushing to her side I noticed that she was short of air and in tears. She was having an extreme asthma attack. After walking her to the door and telling her to calm her breathing and just take it slow I rushed to get any bag I could. All the bags I had grabbed were either plastic or I had ripped them up to much for use in my fear. After many falls and stumbles we had a fire fighter come in and help calm her breathing. After a few minutes her rate of breath returned to normal. Aside from a sore throat and raspy voice she is fine. It was quite the scare for a couple of minutes. As for the fire, The fire department was called by many of the neighborhood folks and they were here in a matter of minutes. The fire was doused in a few minutes and everything was returned to normal. Everyone is fine, aside from some throat pain from smoke and panic. A couple of us have minor cuts and bruises but nothing serious. So that is the story of the night. I hope you enjoyed it.
