Greetings, Earthlings.

After much debate, consideration and convincing, I have decided to create a blog in the efforts to appease my inner ramblings and perhaps reach the lives of others. I also hope to iron out the wrinkles in my writing skills, so please bear with me. Mostly this will be used to rant and rave about science, religion (or lack thereof) and the overall irrelevance of human ambition. So, a forewarning to those sensitive to misanthropy, atheism and existentialism...but really I don't care.

First on my agenda, in a sort of Pale Blue Dot-esque diatribe, I would like to discuss the absolutely unimportant and insignificant things people become so engulfed in. Tonight, I had the unfortunate privilege of watching this new show "Jerseylicious"...against my will of course. Now, I may not even have to go any further than simply stating the title, but these types of people absolutely boggle my mind. One of the most prominent events was an argument that takes place place between two hair dressers (the show is apparently set in a hair salon). The two girls were at each other's throats because they planned parties on the same night and coincidentally both of which had an animal print theme. These girls were really bent out of shape, their worlds were simply turned upside down, and it was unimaginable that one person could knowingly do this another. REALLY? There is a war outside, there are people being raped and killed, children are going to bed hungry at night and these girls want to fight over some leopard print boots. I understand that people have their own prerogative but I would imagine that it can be widely accepted that there are far more important things to worry about in an endless amount of things that are unimportant to worry about. What I want to get at here is that ultimately, it is futile to worry in the first place. The Earth is in a corner of a corner of something the human mind can not even begin to grasp. It absolutely breaks my heart that this planet, the only one we know is run so corrupt and so unnatural. We had no choice to be here and we have no choice how to spend our time on it. We are expelled into a sea of apathetic fish. We are actors in a work where the script has been written for us and we are unable to push rewind. I almost can't even blame people for their lack of interest, from the beginning we are distracted with material things and are rarely given the opportunity to stop and stand in awe at the world we take for granted. Technology is such a bittersweet affair, without we would not be able to discover the wonders to which deserve our praise, but with it our attention is taken. Although I can divulge greatly on this subject, I am going to save it for later posts, basically this is just an introduction to an ongoing mental battle held within me.

Enjoy.
