This is why Atheism is important to me: It is the beginning: The beginning of rationalization.
Most things I see in day-to-day life, I see a lot of confusion and lack of common sense. Our Economy, the Occupation, the Radicalization of the government and its policy ... all make me numb.
I feel like I am living in the land of "The Emperor's New Cloth", where the public pays more attention to clowns and jesters than to the naked Emperor. And no one is speaking out towards the otherwise obvious fact that there is no "Cloth" for fear of one's own safety and image.
I am sick and tired of the apathy and ignorance in this country. We maximize the demand, minimize the supply, and borrow the rest from people hate us the most, when it comes to oil. We allow the Feds to borrow in our names more money than we ever could saved in 100 years. We spent thousands of times more money on the so called "war on terror", even though common flu kills 20 times more Americans in 2001 than terrorism ever did in last 200 years combined.
When I heard Obama's "The Speech" I was really excited. Here comes a guy who actually make sense. This is not another politician who only pays lip service in front of a TV. His words actually sound sane. But then the media had focused on the non-issues. They turn some thing that should have lasted a few minutes into something that lasted 2 months. 8 full news cycles.
When I ask people, why? They don't seem to care. It's always someone else's problem... and ultimately, in the back of their minds, people believe that it is god's problem. It's a shadow lurking in the lens that the majority of Americans see this world through.
The sooner people turn atheists, the sooner they will realize that there is no great invisible hand that will come down and solve all these problems. It's up to us to clean up the shit ourselves. That, is the the beginning of rationalization. Something we desperately need right now.

Why am I so beat up about this break up?
To some degree I was the one who initialized it. In that hotel room I was thinking to myself: This is good, right? I didn't need to be in here. I could be out there, making love to her. I wasn't even hurt that bad. I could have chosen to be with her right now. But I didn't.
So naturally, things got escalated.
It's funny how sometimes the very thing that you don't want in your life keeps showing up. It's almost as if it won't happened if you hadn't thought of it. Well, I thought of it, and I kept thinking about it, and now it is reality. So why am I complaining?
Yes I could have had it all. Let's say everything worked out. Let's say she moved here, and we get engaged. Then what? If you look past her body, she has little to offer.
She can't cook.
She is grumpy all the time.
She doesn't like sex in the morning.
She doesn't want to kiss in the public.
She doesn't do much house work.
She has so many pet-peeves.
She is always tired.
She is extremely easy to get offended.
She is the most self-centered person I know.
She got chronic depression.
She is so judgmental about everything.
She doesn't have many female friends but TONS of guy friends.
She lives dirty. Her car looks like a junk yard
She gives silent-treatment in conflicts.
She has the communication skills of a teenage girl.
She is not ready for commitment.
She is not ready for a family, or kids.
She is a fucking Republican.
She doesn't like my favorite music.
She is allergic to fish, and I FUCKING LOVE SUSHI.
So why the hell am I so beat up about this break up? I think it's mostly the sex. I mean, she's a model after all. She's got this rocking body, it drives me nuts. It's almost funny how much a guy can put up with a woman for a great fuck.
Here's what I think really happened. I was scared. Next year I'll be 30 and I think I haven't accomplished a lot in life. This attractive woman came alone and I thought I couldn't do any better. So I panicked. But instead of doing something meaningful with my life, like getting a graduate degree, I am pushing it hard with a woman who I don't belong with. Chances are that one day she will caught me at an anti-war rally, or dancing to my favorite trance music with sushi in my mouth. Or one day she would make a cup of black tea when I really prefer green, except I never told her that. Do I really want that to happen?
So I am OK with it.
Funnest joke I've found, but extremely offensive to women.
Why do we call women's monthly thing "Period"?
Because "Mad Cow Disease" is already taken.
I just found how incredibly BORING I am. What the fuck? So that's the reason for all my unhappiness.
And then I turn around and see everyone in my life, and realize what's going on. No wonder the divorce rate is so fucking high! All of us want some one that can stay attractive to us for 50 years and yet none of us have interesting things to say for that long.
It's funny how quickly things can turn into boredom. Let's see the usual subjects: music, movies, food, etc. Do you really own any of them? I mean, just because you brought that CD for 12 bucks, does it mean that you created them? Are they from you? Even if you know how to sing the songs and recite the lyrics, what does it make you? BORING. Because it LACKS OF ORIGINALITY. So what if you watched that movie, or brought the DVD? Does it make you any more sophisticated than anyone else who watched it?
Maybe food CAN be creative. But some people are just not so into food. To most of us, and for most of the time, it's just run-of-the-mill. I mean, even under the unlikely circumstances that you are a world class chef, do you really have the time and energy to cook different meals every time? We are living in a world where minimum wage is soon to be $7.25 an hour and a big mac only cost $2.95 for God's sake.
Here's the idea.
When browsing through online dating ads, I noticed these two words quite often: no games. The funny thing is that even though the words are everywhere, no one ever tells WHAT THE FUCK IS THE GAME. It's like this totally hidden secret and yet somehow everyone knows it well enough. It's like that South Park episode where some kids came served Stan "You've got served", and when Stan dance back, all of the sudden every one knows "it's ON".
Here's the 411 on this problem of not having a clear knowledge of the game: People got burned all the time because they don't know what is the game. Unless you are one of those lucky fews who married your high school sweetheart, chances are, you are one of those people. You started out with some innocence in your heart, and have to gain your wisdom the hard way by experiencing "the game". Wouldn't it be nice to know what exactly is "the game" before you venture out into the wilderness of human nature?
That is why I am doing this. I hope this can give some insights to those innocent hearts out there, those poor poor souls...
Person A and Person B will be used as the names in our game list. A usually is the player, and B is the innocent fuck who just wanna get laid.
Game 1: Creative Annoyance.
Completely out of the blue, A will start asking B questions like "Are you mad at me?" or "Why are you mad at me?" and not stop until B actually got mad, then say "See? I knew you were mad at me, why did you lie?"
Game 2: Blame Game
A has a chronic depression problem, but every time A is depressed, A blames it on B: "It's all your fault! I never would have done that if you hadn't made me so depressed that I stop taking my medication". If B even attempt to tell A to start taking medication, A will burst in to full blown bitch mode.
Game 3: Only On The Other Side OF The Fence
When B is not dating anyone, A shows no interest in B at all. But as soon as the news came that B has a new girl friend, A immediately start hanging out with B and want to date B. When B breaks up with the new girl friend, A will be like "Oh, so sorry to hear that. Let's just be friends"
Game 4: The hidden boyfriend
A already have a boyfriend. B doesn't know. A dates B without letting B know. Once they reach a high level of intimacy, A tells B about the boyfriend. B's heart is torn. But A keeps telling B she just need more time. (Notice this term "Needs More Time" is a euphemism for I am playing the game ) When enough time pass, A is still with the boyfriend. This game will last as long as B can endure the emotional roller-coaster.
Game 5: Irritable Gold Digger
A dates B and B pays for everything. B showers A with gifts, A accepts without hesitation. A goes shopping with B, and starts using the term "Can you pay for this first? I'll pay you back when I have the money". Notice this sentence is another euphemism for "I am trying to milk you like the cow you are". When time passes, A pretend to have no recollection of any said "repayment". If B even try to say anything remotely similar to "gold digger", A will burst into full blown bitch mode.
Game 6: You are the hidden boyfriend
This game is similar to Game 4, except that B is the hidden boyfriend. A starts dating other people, and once A got the other people attached to her, A tells B about this other relationship. B's heart is broken. But A keeps telling B "I am just want to be sure" or "I just need more time". This game will again last as long as B can endure the emotional roller coaster.
Game 7: Commitment-fobics
Even though A is sleeping with B, A denies that they are "going-out", and declare they are "Just Friends". A will continue to date other people, until B can no longer stand it.
There are many other games. These are just a few I've personally experienced.
Like I said, all beautiful women are lying assholes. But I still date them. Because now I play the game well too. And because this is the result of more than 10 million years of evolution. It's what God would have done if he is not on meth.
WHY THE FUCK I KEEP FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE WRONG KINDA GIRL. IS THERE ANY PRETTY GIRL OUT THERE WHO CAN BE HONEST FOR A CHANGE?
BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY WOMEN ARE THE MOST FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL ASSHOLES.
This Administration made a lot of predictions about Iraq... let see how they turned out.
So ...
They predicted that we'd be greeted as liberators ...
and that we wouldn't need a lot of troops ...
and that the Iraqi Oil would pay for the war ...
and that it would be a "cake walk" ...
and that the WMD's would be found ...
and that the looting wasn't problemetic ...
and that "Mission Accomplished" and "Major military operations have ended" ...
and that "the insergency is at its last throes" ...
and that things would get better after the election ...
after the government was created ...
after we capture Sadam ...
after we got his kids ...
after we got Zarqawi ...
and that this whole mass wouldn't turn into a civil war ...
I think they should stop making predictions.
