i was discussing the existence of god the other day in my chemical calculations class and i thought i would share it. though it was a discussion of sorts, i will write it in first person to prevent confusion. aka, this is a summary of my and ian, and not all ideas are my own. if god is so all powerful, then why did it take him 7 days to create the earth? well, technically it took him 6 days and on the 7th he rested. why does the all powerful god have to rest. also, how does time even exist? and if it did, one wouldnt think that it applied to the almighty god in the same fashion that it does us. at this point id like to point out that the "day" they refer to is the time it takes for the earth to rotate once. now, on the first "day" "The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day" (Genesis 1: 2-5). so can we assume that god had already created the entire rest of the solar system, and the universe? if one day had passed, as the bible claims, then the earth must have rotated, implying that the sun and solar system was already created. now in Genesis 1 chapters 16-18 the bible says, "And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good". so there the bible contradicts itself saying that god created the sun after the earth. this is only one of many places that the bible contradicts itself. and why i think that it is a total load of crap. some call it lack of faith, but i call it reading between the lines. several times in the bible, i dont know the exact verses, it says the god is infalible and man is imperfect. therefore, since the bible is written by men, it is not exempt from this imperfection. the very fact the men wrote the bible (whether or not they thought it was the word of god) means that it is inaccurate. think about that one for a little while. it makes my head hurt, so i am going to go play some video games. by the way, this weekend i will be tipping one to my homey emerson. he was the driver when i was first arrested and he is currently serving a nice sentence in jail. tough break kid.

i have decided that i like my organic chemistry teacher. somehow we got to talking about how our tuition has been mispent and someone mentioned the 30,000 dollar plasma tv in 'after hours'. his only reply was "well, ugh, you should be very proud". later in the class while struggling with his drawings of different models, he said "a picture is worth 1000 words huh. maybe a couple hundred for mine". on another note entirely stevio sent me this instant message 4 seconds before he signed off:

Mister Stevio (3:24:47 PM): Bad news about beer.

Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that the results of a recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption.

It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, had to sit down when urinating, couldn't perform sexually and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.
Mister Stevio signed off at 3:24:51 PM.

stevio is crazy.

while looking through my archives, i found that my favorite days worth of entries was April 2, 2002. i think i found this date when i was drunk and wrote it down, because when i saw it i had no idea what it meant and it took me quite some time to actually figure out what i had meant.

northeastern readers, are you familiar with the program direct connect? likely, at any rate, could someone please explain that horrible "pop-up" ad. i say it is a pop-up ad though i can never see it anywhere. it just asks me (in a fairly irritating tone) "are you tired of the rat race, ... etc." why does he have to ask me like every two seconds. I HATE THAT GOD DAMN AD.

alyssa milano. i say this n answer to the inquisitive title of the 80's sitcom: Who's the Boss? it is clearly not angela or mr danza or any of those other jerks.

well, hopefully i will figure out the picture thing eventually. but for now, i will tell you of my first impressions of my professors this quarter, as i have had one class with each of them. Doctor Lee-Parsons is a stupid asian lady who i dont think im going to like at all and i have her for computation lab. early friday morning after being busted a few hours before, i awoke and trudged off to ryder. to my surprise there was no one in the room and on the board it said we would be moving to 429 dana. already late, i started on my way, to dana. when i arrived the teacher said, and so lets go, and we all got up and left. we went to 322 snell where we had our class. we were informed however that our schedules were wrong and we would no longer be having classes on fridays. which is good news, but we still had class which sucked. my calculus teacher, maxim braverman, had a camera on his belt. he carried it like it was a cell phone or beeper. what a jerk. he also had a horribly thick accent so in that class i think it will be difficult to listen to his droning and calculus IV will seem harder than it is. a few other professors were un-noteworthy. finally, i have just returned from organic chemistry, which will undoubtedly be my hardest class of all. not only are we going to "be short a few classes so you will have to learn 3 chapters on your own", but it is all stuff that is pretty confusing. todays quiz (he has daily quizzes) was stuff from last year, so i did rather poorly. i found it interesting reading the stern warning on his syllabus. in bold capitol letters at the top it says: CAUTION: THIS COURSE WILL MOVE UNBELIEVABLY RAPIDLY; IT WILL BE DISASTROUS IF YOU DONT KEEP UP. disastrous.

in update, after being busted again on thursday, i took it pretty easy this weekend, drinking only half a beer and not going out at all. today i spent another 335 dollars on books upping my total to 438 so far for the quarter. it would have been about 100 dollars more but i found a couple boooks used. i am still pissed about the books though. i didnt even buy as many as i was supposed to either. what a scam the bookstore is running.
