Well, well, well
After long delay, I'm finally going to make a post. I hope everyone had a good holidays, I know that I did.
It was good to see everyone back in Calgary. I find that despite a bit of traveling now, that not much has changed. That being, I still get along great with all most of my friends, and life is good. I love being able to go see everyone and just pick up right where we left off. It's good to know that I haven't forgotten my roots either, eternally Josh.
I had a good conversation with a few people about the idea of modifying our law structure based on people's religion. It's an interesting debate because, well, I'm not completely convinced of my own argument, or anyone else's for that matter. My stance is that I don't like the idea, I prefer the notion that we create a secular set of laws. For me, the whole notion that we create laws based on each set of belief systems can be troublesome. Mostly because of the fact that people can believe anything and therefore would have an argument for any law because of that. The problem with the a secular law set is then the idea of which moral/ethical system to follow. Philosophers in general haven't decided on the best system (albeit they never really decide on anything), so the religious folk have an argument for this new system since each group can at least agree on a set of laws.
I just watched "I am Legend." It sucks, don't bother. Will Smith has a tendency to fuck up sci-fi films, by neglecting the actual interesting moral problems that result. At least in Omega Man, they made the zombies at least a bit interesting, in that they had an agenda beyond killing all the non-zombies.
I've also realized that I've gotten to the point where I want to get my shit together. I really can't be bothered to chase girls who have no motivation or plans in their life, because that just drags me down. I also like to be with friends who have at least some notion of what they want to do with themselves, because I find it's getting harder and harder to relate otherwise. Is this a good thing? I dunno. But it just is.
I remember the movie, Big Kahuna, talking about the regret. How once you truly feel regret about something, and realize it's nature (that being there is nothing you can do about it) and this realization paints itself across your face. This is how you gain character, supposedly.
Well, I'm not too sure what else to write right now. I'll try to think of some interesting things this week so everyone can have something more substantial to read.
