Google-Facebook-meme thing; religion stuff.
Ok, here's how it works...go to Google and type your name and then the rest of the question. Type the first thing that corresponds. These can get a little wild!
1. Google ''[your name] needs'':
AJ needs AA. (Yeah right.)
2. Google ''[your name] looks like'':
AJ looks like that cute monkey. (Hm.)
3. Google ''[your name] likes'':
AJ likes toucans.
4. Google ''[your name] says'':
"AJ Says Backstreet Boys Will Start Recording in March" (an article from popdirt.com).
5. Google '[your name]' wants:
AJ wants to go sailing.
6. Google ''[your name] does'':
"AJ Does It Again" (something about baseball -- I'm hoping the "it" isn't steroids.)
7. Google ''[your name] hates'':
AJ hates Forest Hills.
8. Google ''[your name] can'':
"AJ Can't Find A Break" (on NASCAR News!)
9. Google ''[your name] goes'':
AJ goes to France.
10. Google ''[your name] is'':
AJ is always juggling.
11. Google ''[your name] loves'':
AJ loves hockey.
That was anticlimactic.

Things are coming along alright on my humanities project. I've already started the third section (I'm skipping the second for now). I don't really have too much to say about it, except I hope it doesn't get too tiring too early.
In other news, I've read some of god Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. No, the 'g' in God is not capitalized. He is a so-called "militant atheist" (cf "evangelical Christian"), and he reasons like one. Most of what I've read so far is old hat (religions tell their followers to kill others, for example), and he uses a lot of ad hominem fallacies that are somewhat off-topic. There is one thing I must admit, though: I've said before that I have more respect from a person who truly loathes all religions than someone who just dislikes Christians because they hated going to church as a kid, and Hitchens definitely falls into the former category.
I'm also reading a book called Modern Physics and Ancient Faith by Stephen Barr, a physics professor at Notre Dame. His writing is not as interesting and I haven't gotten that far into it, but I like reading on both sides of the argument, so we'll see.
Speaking of science and religion, my favorite quote of the day has to be "I've never heard of two groups of atheists killing each other." Maybe not -- but no group has clean hands in this world.
