The life and times of an idle scribbler.
You know, if they had an award for klutz of the year, I should definitely be in the running for it. This is probably the 8th time I burned myself with the iron. It is a heartache to even think about all the clothes I’ve ruined. I even burned a hole on the ironing board 3 days after purchasing it. This is frustrating! Maybe it is high time to invest on those wrinkle free apparels.

How can a young person stay pure?
By obeying your word.

I was having my breakfast at my usual haunt this morning when they started playing a Michael Learns To Rock CD over the PA. One part of the lyric really cracked me up. Fortunately, I did not choke on my wantan. I am pretty sure you’ve heard the song before; called The Actor. Anyway, it’s the chorus that got my attention.
I’m not an actor I’m not a star
And I don’t even have my own car
But I’m hoping so much you’ll stay
That you will love me anyway
I have to confess, I do use that “I don’t even have my own car” line sometimes but could it be? Did I actually rip it off from a Michael Learns To Rock song. Ohhhh … the shame!
I grew up listening to them but was never really impressed by their music. C’mon, there was no anguish of a desperate soul or even a witty play with words. The lyrics were too platonic for my taste and almost all their songs had the same beat or tempo which got boring after a while.
Yea, we never really connected. But I still ripped-off their lyric … unconsciously. Okay, I need to set the record straight and salvage my musical taste now. Just so you know, my music choices while growing up were mainly,
Have you ever pondered the possibility of life where science and religion are interminably linked together? Perhaps you are appalled at the thought that both should even exist in the same sentence. I once believed that science is the study of the natural world through physical observation whereas; religion offers only a set of moral and social guidelines; two completely different schools of thought. But then I realized that even science is not absolute.
Now, before you bellow out, “What absurdity!”, let’s break down our thoughts here to the basics.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. What is science?
2. What constitutes a scientific law?
Have you come up with your answers? Good … let’s compare notes.
What is science? Science is a methodological study of the natural world through observations, experiments and theories.
What constitutes a scientific law?
A scientific law constitutes of theories based on tested hypotheses that is confirmed and unanimously agreed upon. That is to say, a certain theory may be valid under certain conditions and elements only. If at any point, there is new data that contradicts the law, then that particular law is doomed into the abyss of obsolescent. Pretty frustrating isn’t it?
Conclusion.
It seems I would need faith to believe in scientific theories as well, because really, you never know when the theory might be proved obsolete. Out of the two options I have, i.e.
1. The scientific theories that claim humanity and the universe as we know it; existed out of nothing.
or
2. The biblical standpoint that attributes God as the creator of humanity and the universe.
It makes me wonder that perhaps it is more logical to place my faith in the Bible and take it as the infallible word of God because it has stood the test of time. I mean, over the centuries, decades and years, there have been a great number of scientist and philosophers who came up with theories and ideas to explain our natural world, the existence of humanity or even the complexity of the human nature. All of these great minds have in turn most definitely died and their theories either withered away in time or proven false with the discovery of new data.
I know, I know, some of the things in the bible might sound far fetched but have you considered that perhaps we, in out finite knowledge of matters, have just not found the answers to it yet. I see that only one thing remains true and have stood the test of time; that is the word of God. Perhaps it is high time for people to swallow their pride and give God the credit.
Come and learn about the bible’s view on creation.
My colleague made an interesting remark today … it seems that my time is consumed by books, music and computers.
Gosh, I am such a geek! But I have to agree with her on that. So much that I even have dreams about computers with advanced artificial intelligence turning evil and destroying humanity. Oh wait … I think that was a cache memory from Terminator.
Although I use the computer mainly for my design work, coding and the occasional blogging, people tend ask me technical questions about the computer itself. And in my ever vain attempt to sound important and intelligent, I usually come up with a solution only because I Google-ed or Wikipedia-ed it myself.
Yeap, the cat’s out of the bag folks!
Come to think of it, even half of my room layout revolves around books, music and computers. I’ve got on the right side
It came with a clause though, that I should never, in a million years, sell it; because if I do, I would probably get assassinated by invisible ninjas (my paraphrased version). It was his first guitar and I guess he is sentimental about guitars as I am about fridge magnets.
The other half, quite naturally is dedicated to sleep and clothes. I suppose you can never have enough closet space for your clothes and shoes but having a small cupboard can be handy, especially when you go shopping and feel like buying all the 3 dresses and 10 pairs of shoes you’ve tried. Then reality sets in and you gently remind yourself that there’s no closet space. So, you settle instead for a scoop of Macadamia Supreme from New Zealand Natural.
