Post #78

Today's post'll be nothing. I wanted to write in this today but sadly I came unprepared. I'm still waiting on emails to arrive from anyone who reads this blog. I'm desperate need for topics for essays and stuff and I can't get anything out of my head at all. I'm guessing this post is a post about you reader(s) and emailing me. OK my email again is yellowleopard5@yahoo.com. Please email me any topic suggestions. Anything you think I should write about, email it to me. Here's a list of stuff I've done so far:

  1. Choice
  2. Religion and its effects on the human mind
  3. The existence of good and evil
  4. Death and whether or not there is an afterlife
If you have any philosophical topic of an essay you want me to write, again, please email your suggestion and after I've completed the essay, I will write it on here and dedicate it to whoever sent the suggestion to me. I'm also not sure whethere that's all of the essay topics I've covered, my memory's a little hazy today.

See you soon,

Yours Truly

Hello again: Also an update of the first post ever

Hello again readers. I know I've probably lost a few of you because I have not updated in ever but I will be back here tomorrow or so. Let's get down to business here. I haven't updated in a while, yes, because I've been lazy and that is in my case a reasonable excuse. Now on my first ever post when I introduced myself, I've written down a few things and those things have changed over time. Here they are now.

Favorite TV shows:

  1. Pawn Stars
  2. Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest...
  3. Tosh.O
  4. Bleach
  5. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  6. Man V. Food
  7. Ghost Hunters
  8. My Ghost Story
  9. Celebrity Ghost Stories
Favorite rock bands:

  1. Default (I enjoy their music very much. I think their front man Dallas Smith is a very talented singer and I hope to obtain one of their albums someday)
  2. Nickelback (I still enjoy their music as well, I think everyone in the band is great and are very talented and whatever, but a lot of people don't agree with me and they can all mind their own businesses)
  3. Sevendust(It's a heavy rock band that I've become interested in over the summer and I like the music they put out and I think their songs are great)
  4. Skillet(It's a christian rock band and all and I like them a lot, I think they're very talented like any other band I've come across and as a religious non-believer I still like their music because it is not all that preachy as you'd think)
My plans for the new school year:

I do have plans for my new school year and here they are:

  • Start eating breakfast every morning because I never did that and started that routine late into last year.
  • Join a club. I've been wanting to join a club all last year but never had the courage to do so. This coming year I plan on joining "The Arrowhead" which is what my school newspaper calls itself and I plan on sharing my philosophic ideas with the rest of my school though I have doubts I'll be able to do anything like that.
  • Do homework when it's given no matter what. I will start doing my homework and I will start working hard. I have set goals for myself for the future and for this school year, the future is now.
  • Continue this blog. I shall continue this blog because now I have my awesome past english teacher in mind and I want to fulfill her happiness in my awesomeness by continuing this blog for her sake. Why you other readers ask? because that woman was very important to me in the few months that I've known her and she had made such a huge impact on my life and also introduced me to my philosophic heroes and all those shenanigans.
If the above content didn't matter to you, I'm not obligated to care about you and what matters to you. I made this blog, I'll put whatever I want onto it and you will read it respectfully care about me and my opinion for the duration of the time in which you are reading this. Oh, and if you are curious to know, I haven't written in my philosophy book for a while now and since I've been notified that I will have the acceptable downtime(study hall) once again on my school schedule, I will probably resume writing in it. I have no idea, it seemed to me that every time I leave my home, I become the philosopher I want to be, meaning my head is cleared of insane nonsense and I start viewing the world as I once did during the duration of my school year after my enlightenment last year.

Further notes:

If you readers have any comments or suggestions on what I should write essays about or discuss on this blog if you readers are still faithful, drop me a line on my e-mail: yellowleopard5@yahoo.com. Why that name? Well yellow is my favorite color, it always has been and always will be and when I first made that email account, the leopard was my favorite animal. Now my favorite animal is the strong, majestic, graceful..... rabbit.

I look forward to any emails you send me,

Yours Truly

My views on the mosque being proposed in NYC

Lately there has been much heated debate over people building a muslim religious center two blocks from Ground Zero. I have done research online(which in my case was looking through discussions on it) and here's what I found in a nutshell: Basically people just ranting on that America should open its eyes and stop the Muslims from gaining too much freedom in the country and how Muslims are all radical and extreme and hate non-believers and infidels and how it's wrong to build a mosque near Ground Zero where Muslim extremists killed thousands of innocent people.
I won't lie and say in my opinion that it is offensive to people for building this mosque and all, but I'm not going to say "Oh it's wrong to build a stupid Muslim center near a place where Muslims killed a lot of people.". That's not me. I believe that we as intelligent creatures should open our own eyes and see the world for what it truly is. The individuals who have gathered hatred toward the entire religion of Islam just because of a small group of extremist individuals are really the blind ones that need to open their eyes. It is wrong to believe in something so crazy for just something that only a small group did. That's like me saying I hate black people just because the people I often see that are black aren't very intelligent. That doesn't mean I'm racist and I don't hate black people at all. I just don't really like the ones susceptible to crimes and street gangs because to me they are an embarrassment of their own selves. Just like the religious group that attacked the World trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11/01.
As a religious non-believer, I'd just go on thirty minute rants about these terrorist groups addressing their actions and how wrong their goals are and how if there were an Allah and that he were to really exist, he wouldn't let these people do this crap and all that nonsense. But as a pacifist and a philosopher, I did have to address this and I know these terrorist groups are wrong about what they are doing and all, but it's just these people. It doesn't make an entire religious community bad.
All I'm saying here my readers is that just because a small group of extreme religious followers do something really mean and upsetting, doesn't mean that that entire religion is bad. I would also like to say that I think building a mosque near Ground Zero is a little bad. But I'm not saying I hate the idea. I propose that instead of building that religious center near Ground Zero, I suggest moving it farther away so that it doesn't upset people.

See you next time,

Yours Truly

Again

Hello again, I have made another update to this blog, I don't think anyone's been looking forward to my blog recently either, but I will update it as much as I can. Just the other day I sat by myself wondering what life would be like after life itself. I believe it goes on to be an eternal rest until the day you are born again. Or maybe if you died wrongfully or you can't rest when you are dead, you come back to your most precious place and "haunt" that area. I believe when you guide a restless spirit to the light, that light is the light of an operating room where that person goes to get reborn and all that nonsense. This is just merely what I believe goes on after you die.

Sitting and waiting for something more,

Yours Truly
