Oedipus Rex: Are Fate and Free Will Mutually Exclusive?
September 6, 2009
***I am not always the best at keeping things in a straight line, but I have done my best here. These are my thoughts today when I was thinking about fate, destiny, action, and free will. I am not an authoritarian on anything, but this is rather the truth as I see it and what I believe God has shown me.***This is something I wrote in one of my FB notes***
The paradox that is presented by foreknowledge and free will is one that would seem to be a nice contradiction to the idea of prophecy and free will or an All Knowing God and free will. Determinism vs. free will seems to always take into account that because something CAN be, it SHOULD be. For example, if God said to me that I was going die in a car accident on Tuesday, my human nature would tell me to avoid getting into a car on Tuesday. More than that, I could even take it a step further and opt not to leave the house at all on Tuesday. After all, I could be in a car accident where a car hits me as I am walking down the road right? Yet even if either or other alternatives are good alternatives that may prevent the foretold death, does it mean I should take those routes?

Conspiring Mind
May 21, 2009
I could be a conspiracy theorist. I think too much. I analyze too much. And I could convince an Eskimo that he not only needs a refrigerator, but a deep freezer to go with it. I can believe. I can make others believe.
No, I’m not saying I have any power over anyone. Other than the power of manipulation. Not manipulation in the ill sense of the word; just in the sense that if I want you to believe my point or in the very least leave thinking I may be right, I can.
Dazed and Confused?
May 11, 2009
I think. A lot. It’s apparent, I think, with the posts sometimes that I post and the ideas that I spout, but I think. A lot.
I don’t like my mind really. I don’t. Simply because I don’t feel normal. That’s right. I don’t feel normal and I don’t like that feeling. I don’t feel normal because I don’t think about normal stuff…I think.
I think about death, I think about old people, and I think about spiritual warfare, but very little about everything else. Sure bills and work, but apart from that, my mind is cluttered.

Idiots, Morons, and All Around Noobs
December 26, 2008
It has been a minute since I posted in here as I have been extremely busy with life and business. I started this blog as an outlet for my thoughts and musings so that is what I have used it as. Whether I have a lot to say or little to say, whenever I have something to say, it is with a purpose. I was delighted to find a new comment in my comment approval section today as it sparked this very post. I don’t know if the idiot really thought their comment would get seen or the moron thought I’d actually approve it, but it was so [sarcasm]eloquently written, how could I not approve it[/sarcasm]???
Jen’s Update
October 21, 2008
Ok. So I do want to continue on my last post, but it has been so hectic in my life right now. Not in a bad way…mostly…but just doing a million things at once. I have become so overwhelmed trying to balance work, online work, and a social life.
I have been doing a lot of thinking though. I cannot wait until the time when I can do nothing but let my thoughts flow in a novel of my life [unpublished surely =P].
I am constantly bugged by the state of the world. I said just last night that I do not envy future generations at all. Our world is overcome with greed, war, and hostility. It is depressing and downright disgusting. I do not want to know what is going on with our nation; I’d rather live in my own world and worry about my own day-to-day rather than get pulled into the nonsense that is politics nowadays. I’m disgusted by the state of the nation. Downright disgusted. Freaking A. I mean geeze. What the hell?
Think guys. THINK. FUCK! I swear I’m just so done with thinking the US is so great. I feel blessed to be here because of all the opportunities I am afforded, but I am so ashamed at our piss poor government. I know, I know. I shouldn’t talk about shit that I’m not involved in, right? But yo, the answer to all our problems every time is not war. It is so easy for the president to enact war on other nations because he does not have to be on the frontlines himself. So easy to have someone else doing his dirty work. If he supports the war so damn much, why doesn’t he step into the battleground too? Whatever.
I’m Me
August 17, 2008
I’ve always been the inquisitive type to go out and learn new things. I join forums looking for information, social networks looking for peers, and download informative materials on whatever avenue I’m looking in at the time. I’ve come to find out that everyone wants to be the top dog, the attention, or just the rank in their certain niche; they want to be labeled.
My opinions on labels has already been touched on here before, but I began to pay more attention to other people and what they allow themselves or even want to be labeled. I frequent a Black Hat forum where every n00b that joins decides he is a blackhatter. You see it in all their posts ‘we blackhatters’, ‘us blackhatters’, and so forth. I laugh and scoff at them because it’s like they couldn’t do anything black hat if they tried, but they think joining a black hat forum makes them a blackhatter. It’s crazy! Insane! I love it! I mean I really do! These are the same n00bs who are making requests after requests yet not able to fulfill any [including their own]. I’m amazed sometimes at how easily accessible the product/ebook is they are looking for yet they call themselves a blackhatter…they want so much to be ‘in’ the black hat community that they label themselves accordingly…yet they do not know a single black hat technique more than what is posted within the forums.

Love-ly
September 17, 2007
**Preface: Again, as with all my musings, this is fiction, but also has a hint of truth. I believe in writing as much as thinking so it helps to write ’short diddies’. Try it– it works sometimes. This is 1/2 musing 1/2 poem…couldn’t figure out which it is more of so it gets both categories.**
I’m in love with the most amazing person you could ever hope to meet… and I don’t know how to stop. But I need to.
By nature, I am an insomniac. This habit is proliferated by battles of depression that I have from time to time. I can’t help it. But I want to.
I just want to be loved. Just like anyone else, right? And I don’t know how to stop my desires to feel loved. But I need to.
By nature, I am an affectionate person. To the ones I love and hold dear to my heart. It’s always been my way. I can’t help it. But I want to.
I can’t get my feelings across without them being stomped on. I just want to be heard without interruption. And I can’t stop crying. But I need to.
By nature, I am hyper-sensitive. I can’t control the emotions switch of my brain so the tears flow even when I don’t want them to. I can’t help it. But I want to.
I am tired of being misunderstood. That in todays values, old love and honor is lost is a pity. I can’t fathom ignoring my spouse. But I need to.
What I need and what I want are mere manifestations of my desire to make the ones I love happy… but when my heart actually truly physically aches…who is around to make me happy?
