The spaceman says everybody look down...

"The storm maker says it ain't so bad,
the dream maker's gonna make you mad.
The spaceman says everybody look down,
it's all in your mind."

There's a lot of stupid crap in the world, but I think what takes the cake is the argument over whether or not there's intelligent life, or life of any kind, somewhere else in the universe.

First off, I don't profess to know or to have an opinion on life somewhere else, but the fact is, nobody actually knows about that. At all. This universe is too huge, and there are places that mankind may never see. Now it isn't logical to say that because we can't be %100 positive that it automatically makes it true or untrue, but I think everybody should just stop bitching about it and focus on things that are a million times more important.

I think that all the X-Files I've been watching has sparked this sort of interest in humanity's belief in things that we can't really seem to prove nor disprove.

What I'm more interested in, I think, is the need to believe in something that man seems to carry around. What creates this need to have faith in something? And are people directing their faith in the wrong directions? What makes the belief in God different from the belief in extraterrestrials? Can you honestly say that we can prove God exists anymore than we can prove that the paranormal exists?

I'd love to hear some thoughts.

New Year

It's insane how one year can change so many things.

I've got to say that it's going to be interesting as hell to see where the end of 2009 will have me. Maybe I'll finally be out of Georgia...

Oh well, here's to the present!
