A Trillion Updates At Once

So, this blog has had quite a bumpy start. As soon as I launched, my hard drive took a fatal dump. Of course, I had to get it replaced. About a week later, as soon as I got the replacement hard drive situated, it suffered the same horrible fate. Hard times for hard drives over here! I think we can all assume that God has struck my hard drives down in a fit of vengeful rage.

Amb. Raymond Joseph > Pat Robertson

Pat Robertson is reprehensible. This isn't news.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Robertson is a terrible person. It's abundantly clear that regardless of the circumstances, Robertson loves to say stupid, abhorrent shit. It doesn't take an overactive imagination to picture Robertson using his influence to spread hatred and bigotry- at least, I can say him saying these things doesn't really surprise me. It's disgusting, dismaying and fills my rage meter, but it doesn't surprise me. I mean, come on, it's Pat-Fucking-Robertson!

Storm

Tim Minchin is one of my favorite people because he uses music and comedy to promote freethinking and skepticism. One of his most moving and prolific pieces is a beat poem entitled "Storm".

Maiden Post

Where to start? I could drone on about myself; what drove me to put together this little blog, why I seem to think my thoughts are worth sharing with the world- all of which are probably things that blog readers expect. Honestly, I don't think my thoughts are that important to anyone. I don't think that I am special, or that my opinion matters more than anyone elses. I simply want to have a little corner of the internet to express myself about things I feel passionately about, with the hopes that others of the same mindset may decide to do the same. It is extremely important, in my opinion, to band together as freethinkers, humanists and skeptics to fully explore and fight perverse social changes that take place every single day right under our noses. The easiest and most effective way to accomplish this it seems, is to author a blog.
