random thoughts April 1st 2009

Today is april fools.. it's a rainy day today and I have a cold, depressing.. just a little bit. Not sure what really started the april fools phenominon but I can't say that I like it very much. Fooling someone or decieving someone is not fun or joyful or whatever makes you happy. All it does is make people angry.. I don't like to be angry.. do yooou like to be angry? didn't think so. So why do we devote a whole day of our year toward it.. or in elementary school a half a day.. I never really unstood that either. Guess the teachers just got fed up with it by the time lunch came "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH CHILDREN! It's twelve o'clock.. April fools is OVER!" Which I can completely understand. Children annoy me enough to know that i should have sympathy for teachers. I also admire people that want to help our children learn because they are the future of our species. The thing is though, I really could care less about the future of our species because frankly when I die.. I am just going back to 1990 so nothing in the future will really affect me. There are few things that I hope for in my lifetime though concerning the human species.. things like religion.. yeah I hope it is gone before I die, even though I know it wont be because no matter how much evidence you present to a true believer, you will always get the same responce which is usually something like "God is just testing our faith right now" That's the thing about religion, it runs on having no evidence and a lot of evidence against it. It just eats that shit right up. No amount of good evidence can get rid of it. The only solution is to find a way to have the children of the future NOT be endoctrenated into thinking that religion is the way to go. We need to teach our children that scientific thinking is the right way of thinking. That eveidence should be present for one to believe something and that we should not just take a claim at face value.
In my cubical is a picture of a bong, and under it, it reads "bill nye" then beside it, someone wrote "haha" with an arrow pointing to it.. interesting. I am on a different floor today.. it is much louder floor but almost seems quieter than floor 5 because of the fact that all the noise together just sounds like a constant like a heater going while you sleep, whereas on floor five there are a bunch of isolated annoying sounds.
I analysed a guy who got on the bus yesterday, he had just bought a new book that he planned to read on the bus, I knew this because as he turned the book open he analysed the very first page with his eyes. He went through each page one by one and looked at it for a few seconds until he got to the prologue. He spent a lot of time on the detication page.. interesting because I ususally skip that page pretty quickly. He also read the prologue which is usually boring so I say fuck it let them get there own deretoes.. that is a george carlin line. 
The lighting is a bit darker in this portion of the library.. hm
anyways I am going to get to work now so have a good one.
