Hey guys! (I wonder how many people actually read this, I make it sound like I have so many DeviantArt friends!!)

Anyway, I've been away for a long time - since uni started really (almost three years ago), studying a course which sucks the life out of me (strange because having a tertiary education is meant to GIVE you a life! That is, of course if career = life, but I'd dispute that point- afterall, Jesus said that He came so that we could have LIFE to the full)

Well, I thought I might drop by and say hi, then scurry back into my corner so I can continue reading some FAAAAT textbook on indefeasibility, perpetuities and restrictive covenants- if you don't understand what I just said, don't worry, because I don't either.

In terms of life after death (ie, after exams), I plan to have a creative explosion (having been bottled up for the past forever) and I also plan to visit Cambodia to teach English- so I can feel good about myself and be fulfilled because I've done something worthwhile with my life- JUST KIDDING, for me I'm searching for an experience that will open up my eyes, to see another world outside my Australian bubble where not everything is rosey and hunky dory- where the poor and disadvantaged and the effects of human selfishness will be in my face, I guess it'll help me see the world for what it is (instead of seeing the same same 6 sides of my Australian cardboard box- sometimes fondly referred to as the 'hole' Then again, I shouldn't be complaining, after all, I do live a privileged life- and not of my own doing at all! "You know, I was just born in a rich country"(Well that killed Social Darwinism) BUT I believe, I was born here for a reason

Scurry scurry I will
to that dank and musty corner
where maggots and hairy balls await
and the hope of light
seems all the sweeter

I decided that I quite liked my mad ramble so I'm posting it here too READ IT!!! And give it some thought!
---------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Chemistry has always fascinated me, not in the fact that it's very technical, but rather because of the fact that it is in reference to how this world operates. You see, if something relates to you, you automatically find it interesting

I always had the impression that science was against religion, but what I discovered was quite the opposite. Science does not disprove of a controlling force/creator (ie, God) but rather proves it. How?? Well, the fact that we exist is something quite remarkable in itself isn’t it??
Everything is constructed by how atoms react to each other. Even the fact that protons and electrons keep each other together is something of a miracle in itself. Such detail is quite mind boggling considering how miniscule the atom is. Coincidence?? Perhaps...perhaps not...
What amazes me even further is the fact that life was created from these atoms...or so we like to believe-->;a bolt of lightning strikes some molecules and voila we have a bacterium…but scientists haven’t actually achieve that yet…so where did life come from?? And to develop into a complex beings like ourselves can only prove one thing…there is something out there that made us…freaky isn’t it?? Evolution can explain to a certain extent, but to be truthful, it has its limits. Mutations?? To such a LARGE EXTENT?? To this day, I can’t say that there are many mutations that are advantageous to the human race, perhaps only one…like the sickle blood cell (but that only applies to carriers, not the people who have it in full which leads to anaemia)

“It is entirely in line with the accidental nature of mutations that extensive tests have agreed in showing the vast majority of them detrimental to the organism in its job of surviving and reproducing, just as changes accidentally introduced into any artificial mechanism are predominantly harmful to its useful operation . Good ones are so rare that we can consider them all bad.
-- H.J. Muller,”

I think mutations don't really go anywhere, and natural selection only can 'select' so much...since mutations are basically out of the question. The conclusion?? I'll leave that for YOU to decide.
---------------------------------------- -------------------
Take care, and give some thought to the amazing-ness of the world around you! Don't be blinded by what you take for granted...STOP and think and realise

"I can only show you the door...you're the one who has to walk through it..."

Toodles!

*Note: Comments appreciated, no matter how rude it might seem*

I guess I'm more of a thinker than a talker (unless if absolutely neccessary, like in chemistry when the poor teacher is staring at this silent class of blinking eyes . It's not like we don't understand, it's just that we choose to not answer Of course when I do answer I end up saying something that he wasn't looking for...erm..._ _

---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----
Anyway guys, here's a question, have you ever been annoyed at yourself because you didn't do something you should have done just for the sake of helping other people out? Like, for instance, when you see a mum struggling to carry a stroller with a baby up the stairs and you just walk straight by totally aware that she needed help.

Well, I get annoyed. Afterwards I'm like I should have helped I SHOULD have helped. It's like I have inertia, once my mind is set on something I go straight and my lack of confidence makes me keep on going straight. I guess that's one of the things that makes me feel like such a selfish person _ _; Like they say, ignorance is bliss. Without having seen the mother, I would have remained unaware of the situation and gone on with life without the pang of guilt. I've always believed that we all have a good conscience within us and it's that, that motivates us to do good for a change. To see outside the square box of 'what matters to me' and see outside into the greater community.

So, that's one of my goals for this year, to be a better person.

Your own views are always appreciated

I find this amusing, but I actually found myself gaining pageviews without submitting anything for the past few weeks...
Say, this is pretty pathetic, seeing that I've been on Deviantart for 7 months. Yes, that's right, one deviation a month.
As mcramer would say, general lazy bastard.
