Thoughts of a college student late at night.

I splurged today(I should probably say tonight) and watched a movie called "Ghost in the Shell". This it the second movie. In order to really understand everything happening in it, you would have had to watch the first movie and the first series. If have not already guest, it is anime. Certain series of anime I find intruigueing. This series is one of them. In the second movie, the main subject is "what is the purpose of life?" Well, this particular person has a twisted view. The movie is pretty hard to follow. I will probably have to see it again to find out more details. One of the biggest issues in this series is if the soul is part of the body, mind, or something more that we can not see (or that is how I interperated the movie). I know the answer, but I did not have to look far. I know about the Bible. I think that alot of people know what the Bible has to say and either twist it to make it sound like they want it or ignore it because they don't like what it says.

I have been thinking alot about Ecclesiastes. In Sunday School, our assistant pastor is going over this book in the Bible. This is one of the books that every time I read it, something new jumps out at me and/or I just really understand what is happening. I keep reading it and realizing that I am doing just like Solomon, except that I am not as smart as he is and get caught up in my sins. He keeps repeating "under the sun." I believe that when Solomon says this, he is talking about doing everything unde the hot burning sun and not under God. It is so easy to do things under the sun. Money, video games, and all sorts of things are so easy to become addicted to. Yes, I am addicted to computers at times. I hate to break off this train of thought, but I can no longer form complete sentences. Time to go to sleep. Goodnight.

The End is near

I can't wait. School is almost out. I get to change gears from nothing but school work to a job and goof off mode. It is going to be fun when I can finally say that it is the end of the semester. I will have to confesss, I have not been spending as much time on hw as I should. My hw grades are still okay, but I have been having fun going to chat rooms. I will have to warn you, there are tons of things called "bots" that do nothing but give you links to unpleasant web pages. There is hope though, if you block all of the names that they use, eventually they will not be able to send you messages. I have over 2000 blocked at the moment. I can't wait to get a job again. I might actually have *gasps* money in my pocket. It will be a nice thing. I can't wait. Well, I am off. It is a,most time for chapel. Later

Happenings

Well, I have been doing homework. That is about it. No new projects. No new jobs. My dad is selling the old Ford 9N. I like that tractor. It works for the moment, but we had to get another tractor in orfer to have a bucket to pick stuff up. We painted the old tractor and now dad has it on ebay. The link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=71367&item=7506852902&rd=1
There are some good pictures of the tractor and it has my house in the back ground. I am going to try to get the origional pictures in a few, but till then I will have to just tell you to go to ebay to see the pics and bid.

Writing

As you probably guessed in my last post, I read alot before I graduated High School. I was also able to talk better and able to write better. Now that I have stopped reading except for required things, I have noticed a HUGE change. I studder, loose words, and all sorts of things of that sort. I really did not notice this happening till I started writing my exegesis paper. Even in Junior college, I could write a 5 page paper in a 3 hours, and that was with 3 to 4 sources. I could always put all sorts of filler. BUT I have mooved on to "better" things. I am an engineer. I study math and science. I am suposed to understand how and why things work. For the last 2 years that has been my focus. Believe it or not, I thought about being an english major before being an engineer, but I have lost my touch. Now I am sitting here with a critique. It is due tomorrow at 2:30. I have a blank sheet of paper. I remember writting mini critiques at my Junior College that only had to be a few sentances on what we thought. It was not really graded. What do I need to do to get back in that mind frame? It is really hurting my grade in Historical Books. Well, I need to write this thing. I need to come up with something more positve too. Later.
