Hotbox your own house
Smoke vicodin
Trust Febreeze to cover up that horrible odor

So now tell me about your weekend.

Justin Bieber?

Someone please tell me why this kid is famous. I’ll say a few of his songs are probably catchy, I wouldn’t be caught dead listening to him (I’ve just recently listened to 10 seconds of Owl City, that’s as gay as it gets). But…. I guess I don’t understand the obsession with a boy who looks and sings like a girl to be this sex symbol for 14 year old girls.

The concept of “Free Will”

We as humans have the ability to think, feel, see, etc. But above all, what defines us as a species has always been our ability for rational thought. The concepts we create that define our lives have separated us from the “other animals” for centuries. However, our concept of free will is far from any impressive human feat. We, as humans, have the ability to do whatever we (physically) choose to do. It is this ability to choose that defines the course of human history (or in fact, creates, records, and annotates it). However, this idea of free will is not a factor of the human experience, but instead, a factor of the imaginary. There is no such thing as “free will”. No human, animal, insect, cell — anything — has had free will. Our idea of free will is really the result of science and the physical laws of the universe.

The universe abides by certain physical laws that we feel, see, and (somewhat) understand. Gravity, polarity, physics — all of it is the result of our experience as a species and our drive to understand it. Most humans chose not to attempt to understand or formulate these laws based on the physical laws themselves.

The human (or any animal for that matter) brain is composed of brain cells, which communicate to the body through neurons with chemical and electrical reactions. These chemical and electrical reactions allow us to feel and do what we so choose to do. By an electrical impulse through a path of neurons to the muscles, a contraction is made and an arm can be raised in the air. The same process occurs for any single movement the human body makes. Any feelings or emotions are somewhat the same, only they are the result of neurotransmitters feeding certain centers of the brain different chemicals that occur in the body or in some cases food. So at the cellular level, we see that the brain is merely a set of physical systems obeying electrical laws and experiencing chemical reactions based on the laws of nature.

By this logic, it stands to reason that any human action is the result of an electrical impulse, often caused by a chemical reactions within the brain. This means that the entire history of human events, every emotion ever felt, every action ever witnessed or performed, is the result of a physical law in the universe taking place. Since there is no control over the electricity in our brains or the chemicals in our body (minus drugs, obviously), it can thus be determined that humans do not actually have free will. Instead, we are predetermined to do everything that we are going to do because of electricity and chemicals.

The fact of the matter is that brain cells are just that — cells. Cells do not have lives of their own and determine our actions. Their determination for action is instead dependent on the DNA provided for them. DNA doesn’t call the shots either; it is merely a composition of sugar, nitrogen, and a phosphate. These chemicals are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles which are (supposedly, but probably) composed of even smaller particles. After that, we as a race are unsure. All we can be certain of is that, for whatever reason, are somehow wired by these chemicals to think, feel, know, touch, move, everything we can ever do. This raises the question: What is free will?

There is no free will. Whatever you believe in, God, Simulation Theory, or the Big Bang, set the course of human events by releasing all of these chemicals, all of this polarity into the world and somehow, by great means it shaped the human form.

What is free will?

My (late) thoughts on the Superbowl

Well first and foremost let me say that this was an absolutely miserable game. I had to watch my Steelers play the worst game they might have played all year besides New England. The running game wasn’t used in smart situations and Ben never helped the cause when it counted. The defense was there but is too easy to devistate with a spread offense. Not enough people in coverage to stop Rodgers from throwing all over them. The Packers playbook was damn near perfect for awhile against the Steeler D, but they didn’t run the ball nearly as much as they said they would have liked to. Starks carried for 52 yards on 13 carries, far from the 20+ touches he was expecting. The Steelers lost that game and Aaron Rodgers won that game.

They all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there’s doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
