Crucial Post
Basically, I'm becoming more and more badass as time passes.
My hair is definitely starting to get preeeeeeeetty shaggy. It's a hard decision, because like, shaggy kinda sucks (maybe), but like... emo fringe ftw. Like, I'm starting to be like UHHHHHHH.
So, basically, lets sum up the day:
1) Bio Lab. Kinda lame. We were taking a ton of screws and showing how they would have "evolved". tbh, yarly. (PS, SIDENOTE AT THE END)
2) Physics. I received Tetris + other games for my graphing calculator. So crucial. This would prove to be my entertainment (along with Astroids, also crucial, but too easy), for the last part of physics and all of lunch.
3) Calc. Whatev.
4) Crucial frisbee with Willem, Andre Dube, and Mike Bawden. So crucial.
5) Basketball. Willem didn't attend, but plenty more did. Also terribly crucial.
6) Went to Andrew McRae's, showered, played comp games, watched a few episodes of "Stella" (MOST WHAT THE FUCK SHOW EVAR. Humour = the weirdest kind ever).
7) Crucial driving with Yazeed. Awesome music. Incited my Daft Punk revisiting.
8) Went out to supper, Nadia's and Ian's birthday supper. Also crucial. East Side Mario's. Kinda got fucked on a "deal" because of technicalities, but whatev. No biggie. Some guy told Nadia to "Now, take off your clothes" when she was standing on the chair. Awesome. He deserved a high five.
9) Basically hung out for forever in Halifax with Ainsley, because we're both nubs. I played more Tetris, and tolly pwnt. Ainsley's just a nub.
10) Walked home in the snow coming down, beatboxing and being awesome the whole way. Basically, I'm starting to get to the point where I can do like, a song, along with beatboxing. Crucial.
If you can't tell, I'm in a crucial mood.
And, tbh, I saw a video a few days ago/last weekend/whenever it was. Now, I know this sounds lame, but it still made me go uh buhhhhhh..
k. So, first off, it was promoting the Bible. Problem #1.
Anyway, it was talking about the flood causing shit and whatever. And I was like, k, sure, whatev nubs. But then they were bringing up examples that were getting harder and harder to ignore. Such as:
1) Grand Canyon. No explanation based on our current understanding of Earth Science how it got there. I googled, and found that the vid wasn't lying.
2) We label the age of index fossils based on what layer of rock we find them in. We label the age of the layers of rocks based on what index fossils we find there. Circular reasoning. Now, while we still have carbon dating/etc., he said that stuff wasn't used for finding the ages of these things. So... yeah.
3) Evolution. Just talking about how you can't derive new things from things that exist. You can have mutations/slight changes in species, but he was saying that one species can't turn into another. All of the X-rays and everything we threw at the fruit flies in an experiment in the past gave them tons of mutations, but didn't turn them into anything they weren't. Basically, you can have an arm in the wrong place, an extra one, whatev, but a fly won't become another species.
The evolution thing becomes more and more complicated, as we keep finding living organisms now we had believed to be extinct millions of years ago. That, and human blood (or just blood, I can't remember) being found in dinosaur bones. That's more sketchy, but you get the idea.
Now, while OBVIOUSLY it's Christian propaganda and is clearly directing everything towards the Christian view, that's not what concerns me. What DOES concern me is these things we're doing, and/or have no explanation for (aka, grand canyon. Earth Science is pretty much completely based on logic (often really simple logic), and to find a situation that sort of thing doesn't work with is... well, weird.)
Basically, doesn't make me think the Christian way is right, but DOES make me wonder about the ways we're currently doing things.

There's the video if you're interested at least to see what he's saying. The guy was a science teacher, who taught mostly earth science. That's why I'm concerned. I kept checking google to see if he was bullshitting, but... he's not. Yikes.
Anyway... yeah.
THAT'S ALL, 'CAUSE I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!
P.S. I can't believe I missed Steak and a BJ day (March 14th).
Work tomorow, so early. Sucks.
Edit: Oh, and basically the WebCT thing has made me the most popular kid in school. I tell other people I can fix up theirs for them, or that I'm going home to go on WebCT for my "fix". LOL.
