Why I don't believe in God

Not much has been happening the last few days, mostly resting and doing the mundane things.  I haven't had much to say lately so I'll share this article I've had saved for a while.  I've always considered myself agnostic, as far as I understood it.  I'd like to be trendy and say atheist but my strict catholic upbringing, I think, makes agnostic as far as I can go.  This article sums up my views on Why I don't believe in God.

Tree Limb Update and More

Here's what that big ol' tree limb that fell on Easter looks like now.  I have to find a place to store it now for a year or so, until it dries out and can be used as firewood.  We received a Firepit thing last Xmas that we haven't used yet, so I tried to cut the pieces small enough to use in that.

Yesterday my wife and I got haircuts  (mine was just trimmed, no difference, really) and we ran errands and went out for breakfast in the morning. So I found time to finish this in the early afternoon.  I hadn't heard back from the neighbors with the chain saw so I just did it with my neighbor Jane's bow saw and I used my circular saw for help on the bigger end.  (We gave her a bottle of wine to thank her when we returned her bow saw this morning, she's a very nice person.)

After that I took a nap for a couple hours then we got all dressed to the nines for my sister in law's wedding reception.  They got married on St. Patrick's Day in Jamaica and this was their celebration for friends and relatives.  My wife and I got married in Jamaica as well (about nine years ago) but did not have a reception when we got back.  We didn't feel the need, but alot of people really enjoy this kind of thing.  I managed to avoid the hockey score all night so I could watch it on tape after we got home.  I'm disappointed we lost, but it was still a great season.

More Die Antwoord

Die Antwoord is supposed to tour the states soon and I would go see them.  I won't travel far, but if they come to the Madison area,  I will be there. 

When it comes right down to it, I just have fun listening to them.  I try to justify it to myself, but it's just one of those guilty pleasures that just so happened to be unfolding publicly here on my blog.  No this has not become a fanblog, but this is the vid that sold me on it...    NSFW!




Yolandi Visser is a good reason to like Die Antwoord.  Her look and high voice are unique, and I'm obviously not the only one that thinks so...

Sex Ed is Criminal???

A Wisconsin idiot religous zealot is at it again.  Thankfully there is Florida, but otherwise Wisconsin would be in the running for most asshat state for this kind of news.  A few days old, but still incredible enough to pass on in case you missed it. I've already heard it on one of my podcasts I listen to and expect to hear about it on one, maybe two more podcasts that I subscribe.  The Onion Radio News could just read the real thing and people would think it is made-up...

I'll be getting my postponed haircut this morning, then alot of stressing about what will be nothing but fun, I'm sure. Also, Wisconsin plays in the NCAA Men's Hockey National Championship Game tonight against Boston College, the team we beat for the championship back in '06.  Go Wisconsin!  I'll no doubt recap this day somewhat later...

 Have a good weekend!

Die Antwoord - Doos Dronk

I really wish I could understand all the languages they're speaking.  Most of the dirty stuff seems to be in english, however.  (Read: NSFW!)
Yes, I still have this South Afrikaan Zef*/Rap group in my head.  After my last post on them I sought out their album, $O$, which I understand they released for free last year on their website.(No longer available there, so if you'd like the link for the album you can email me and I'll send it to you.)  I've been playing it a few times a day ever since.  What can I say, I'm almost embarrassed but still fascinated.   Here's a live performance of the dramatic 'Doos Dronk' with some of their friends.  Enjoy.



*Zef, I've read, is roughly translated as 'redneck.'  Die Antwoord, by the way, means 'The Answer.'
