My uncle John passed away a few days ago, and i graduate college, and am moving back to Texas soon....
Bitter sweet feelings.
I knew my uncle, but not very well. Most memories I have of him weren't very positive... He drank, smoked, and swore like a sailor. He was still family, and I still love him. Since I didn't see him so much, I don't know If I'll miss him, I probably will get to wishing i could hear him drop the F-Bomb a few more times while a cigarette burns in one hand and an iced whisky in the other.
Last I saw him, he was sick, and trying to quit drinking and smoking, and he was so different. I didn't mind being around him. Maybe it was because he was sober, or maybe it was because I was an adult, and he saw me more of an equal.
It got me thinking about passing away, and how I would like to see my life. On the last day of my life, I would like to be able to turn around, look at my "wibbly wobbly ball of timey-wimey stuff" and be able to say, "I regret nothing." I have been around for almost 30 years, and i know i have barely begun to live my life. Still have many years ahead of me, 30, 40, 50+ years, and i look forward to growing old, and being another few decades wiser. More experience in life, and the troubles that come with it.
I was raised catholic, but my faith has somewhat turned to another I'd call my own form of religion. Only Me in this one so far, but i have no intentions of "recruiting" more members. This is for me, and me only. A previous post was about that- the Scientist beyond, and the life lived will be decided on where you go. If I'm a bad person, I come back to hell on earth, and learn how it was to be treated as how i treated others in my former life. If I'm a good little human... Well... It's better than coming back to start over.
The reason I feel the creator as a scientist is simple. Everything can be explained through science. (almost anything) and it is updated often. The universe, galaxies, stars and planets, then all life on earth. Hell, our bodies are science. How we evolved is science. It is hard to look right in the prehistoric eye sockets of a homo erectus and deny all connections to them, and say "I didn't evolve from you."
It's been proven about evolution, from cave men to multiple races and to today. I never liked the idea of "blind faith", it is to uncertain.
Going in another direction, to go off of a few things on my mind...
With my school, I feel as though I should look at the amount of money I owe for student loans...
Then look at my demo reel(s)... Is it really worth THAT much money for this work? Did I learn what i should know to make this Field into a career and be good at it?
(may be a bit controversial)
women want to be treated equally, but when it comes to getting certain things (like a raise, or special treatment) sometimes, some will flirt, and flaunt themselves to get it. Typically, she will get it. If a man were to flirt with his female boss for that, it would be sexual harassment.
Equality in the workforce huh?
Not saying ALL women do that, really its more of the ones who don't mind looking like a piece of meat.
Weed should have similar restrictions as alcohol.
No using while driving, age limit, unavailable at certain days and times.
Guns should have the same as a car.
A license, insurance, age limit, training courses.
I look at ti like this: almost everyone has a car, and accidents happen, but are usually non-deadly.
If anyone had a gun with the courses and license, a crime could be less likely to happen, because a criminal has little intention of becoming a victim themselves, and if they know there's a good chance the people in that store are carrying a firearm, he wont even try.
