I'm going to start writing some short posts. I'm not going to think before I write them. I'm just going to pump out ideas from my head...unfiltered...raw...here it goes.
Why are so many scientific studies/beliefs/political ideas are conflicting?...here's my explanation:
You can almost choose any input and show that it has an effect on the output of something.
if:
((x*y+z)/(a*b*c)^2)*n=ANSWER
you can take out or change x, y, z, a, b, c, n or a combination of all of these and get a different answer.
Whether you're arguing that x or y affects the "ANSWER", both can be right.
Its hard for science or humans at all to look at the big picture and study things in their natural and/or present day environment...science always has to break things down.
So why does this matter? No one knows the truth. No one knows all of the inputs in an equation. So my advice...don't believe anything.

a few more days!
Sorry I haven't posted. I've been busy studying (more like distracting myself from studying). I promise I will write something next week.

creation
art!
Most people don't know this about me but I used to really love sketching as a kid. I would sit up in my room and draw for hours. In junior high, I was in the advanced art class. I haven't really drawn much since high school so I figured I'd give a self portrait a shot.
Yes, I know drawing a self portrait with my shirt off seems narcissistic...but its seriously 100 degrees in my house right now! Well, I'm kinda rusty and I don't have the steadiest hands but considering I was sketching with a pen, wasn't too bad. I'm going to try to sketch more. I'll post more pics if I do. I'll also try to post some drawings that I did when I was younger too...some are an interesting view into my warped mind.
garden!
Also, since I'm on the topic of posting pics...figured I'd give an update on my garden. Tomatoes are growing!!!
...and here are the sweet peppers and cucumbers (no veggies on the plants yet~_~)

My Ghost Theory
I have never seen a ghost nor am I 100% convinced that they are real. I believe it is one of humanity's ultimate desires to exist eternally and because of this belief, I remain a little skeptical that ghosts really walk amongst us. Believing in or "seeing" ghosts satisfies our mind's yearning to exist forever. So if we don't walk among the living after we die, I have a theory could explain why people see "ghosts".
I am almost convinced that there are more than 4 dimensions (3 space & 1 time). String Theory is based on 11 dimensions. Through parallel universes it is thought that we can travel through time, teleport, exist in two places at once and visit alternate versions of our own reality. Scientists have been able to teleport atoms and prove that they can exist in two places at once. With the force of a black hole, just like space, time is altered. This is why some believe black holes can be used as a means to travel matter through time. However, the force of a black hole would rip us apart.
Most ghost sightings occur in areas of abnormal magnetic fields. What if these magnetic fields alter another parallel time dimension to "bleed" into our own? Maybe the ghosts that we see are actually real people living in an alternate dimension. Then why do we only see "ghosts" in the past and not the future? Maybe its only a one-way thing like in thermodynamics, heat only moves from warmer to cooler areas. We have little understanding of the complexities of time so it's possible that time alterations could only move from past to future. Or maybe aliens are actually "future ghosts"?
It's also strange how most ghost sightings I've heard of are of the recent past. One would think that you would see cavemen ghosts also. An explanation that kind of fits with my theory is that the parallel time dimension is "stretched" into our own through the force of the magnetic field. Maybe the magnetic field does not have enough energy to stretch the other time dimension past a certain amount of years.
How come ghost sightings are always of people? Well sometimes its spirits and demonic entities. But why are there never dog and cat ghosts? Or at least I haven't heard of any. Also, if my theory has any truth to it, wouldn't an alternate dimension also transport non-living objects as well, such as, a chair, bicycle or even a whole house or a mountain range? Hmm...what if the human soul has significance and some kind of relationship with these time dimensions that others do not. Maybe since we understand time and perceive we are able to better travel through it. But why then do the "ghosts" clothes come with them into this dimension? Clothes are just as much a part of us as the other inanimate objects we encounter on a daily basis. Even if we can exist as real ghosts after we die, why would our clothes still be with us? I asked these same questions about superheros...how do their clothes always make it through the destructive forces that their bodies can handle?
Let me know your thoughts...

inspiration
We all want to be inspired. The happiness that comes from inspiration gives us a reason to live. Whether it be seeing the beauty in nature's intricate design of a snowflake or the experiencing the vast expansiveness of the earth from above. When we see and experience beautiful things, our neurons fire and our mind is stimulated. Stimulation is what tells us we are alive.
There are many things in life that provide stimulation and there are many paths to follow to get that feeling that we as humans desire. There are the essentials. Food and shelter. There are also the materialistic things that we crave to satisfy our stimulation needs. However, these materialistic things come with a cost and force us to trade it for time and money. But there is more that we desire. Yes we need stimulation but its best to have in small doses and moderation. I believe that it is not until we realize that we can experience things that are free and simple (human relationships, nature, birth and even death...or at least accept it), that we are truly happy and alive. Yes human relationships can be simple. All you need is to be honest and willing to help others.
I think about these things but only in certain environments. Not when I'm rushing to get to school on time. Not when I'm busy at work. Not when I'm in a bad mood or stressed out. It's not until I simplify my life that I can think like this. Turn all of the lights off and have a conversation with someone or just think to yourself, it will most likely be deep and meaningful, perhaps even life-changing. Remember sitting around a campfire with friends? Sleepovers once everyone is huddled in their sleeping bags? Darkness forces the mind to think and when we combine these pure thoughts with others...it is a powerful thing.
