What's on your mind today?

I had Mormons show up at my door a couple of days ago. Funny thing is I don't answer the door without a gun close by in case the visitor(s) are going to be bad news. Had an interesting chat about the new XD I had sitting on the TV and agreed to attend their next Sunday service. I've never been and I prefer to see how they operate. Zero chance of me converting.

Nice fellows but their religion is kooky. Then again, I suppose it's no more stupid than Catholicism or Islam but it's got some funny stuff to it. White people who are evil turn into red Indians....yeah...

The whole time they were talking, I couldn't help but think of that "Dumb-Dumb-Dumb-Dumb" song from South Park.

Maybe you could sneak in a camera and tape some of it. It'd make for damn good entertainment.

Went and saw Inglorious Basterds yesterday. Really quite good. Harkens back to older Tarantino, reminiscent of Pulp Fiction moreso than the recent grindhouse stuff (thankfully). It's quite violent (imagine that), but definitely worth the money to go see. Christoph Waltz will get an Oscar for best supporting actor, no question.

I didn't know they believed that....

The Book of Mormon says Native Americans are descended from the ancient Israelites. Apparently they voyaged to the Americas by boat some centuries BC.

I used to think Mormon was  mega-kooky when I was a catholic.   Now, compared to all of them, its just average-kooky.

Got an email from one of my aunts today after she discovered on Facebook that I'm an atheist:

How sad you had so much faith as child and a teenager.
I pray that God brings you back.
Love Aunt Donna

Made me giggle a little.

I actually am looking into surveillance equipment for my place. I'm paranoid as hell and when strangers come knocking, I get really paranoid. The problem with these folks is that they are too damn nice.

I get Mormons and more so Jehovah's Witnesses coming to my door quite a lot. In my experience they are annoying but harmless.

I think I could essentially consider myself Buddhist, minus the belief in afterlife. I want to find nirvana... I think I'll make that my point in life.

I have a friend who did that...he can see who is at his door without getting up.  I think he just ran a webcam outside and connected it to his home network.

Nirvana being that you become a drop of water in the ocean and part of everything in the world? I think that is essentially what happens when you rot in the ground after you die. You decompose and become nutrients for the living organisms around you.

I want to find nirvana... I think I'll make that my point in life.

So, basically... you have a great desire to reach a condition... in which you have no desires?

That has to do with Brahman in Hinduism.

And I mean spiritual nirvana. Finding inner peace within myself.
