My new set (which isn't very new anymore) just isn't sending. I sent it via registered mail TWICE!, but some idiot must have stolen it along the way. And damn $%$ Mac OS X doesn't run most of the free compression software out there. So now I've finally compressed the damn thing on my brother's PC and sent it via You Send It, and...

... for some reason or another, most of my social activity the last few months has revolved around people desperate to get on TV, for some reason unknown to all but themselves.
You mean onto Mediacorp?!? My god, what kind of life ambition is that?
The way you describe your friend Taz positively intrigues me. I hope you post a photo of her someday 
Three guys go in to a hotel, each with $10 in his pocket. They book one room at $30 a night. A short while later, a fax from headquarters directs the hotel to charge $25 a night. So the receptionist gives the bellhop $5 to take to the three guys sharing a room. Since the bellhop never got a tip from them,...

25 for the room + 2 tip=27. 27+ 1x(3 people)=30 total.

*laughs* Of course all that shit doesnt matter. Im going to die anyway, we all are, but I get such a kick out of finding out how I had been wrong all this while.
Wait a second, that's not funny. That's not funny at all! 
And I figure that the apple was just an apple and that it was the act itself that was important.
I don't think God has free will because he can see the future. He never really gets to make a choice because he knows what he's going to do beforehand (predestination). You could argue that he could make a choice, but at the same time he's perfect and therefore everything he does is perfect. If he were to do anything that wasn't perfect and diverge from the series of perfects acts he sees himself performing until the end of time, then he wouldn't be perfect and he'd just be some schmuk.
Meanwhile, there are humans. We can't see the future so we actually make decisions. Perhaps what God is doing is testing the value of free will. He gives us a paradise and an apple tree we can't touch because he forbids it. We have a choice, paradise or defiance of God's will and whatever may follow. We choose the apple. In choosing the apple, we're rejecting God and taking free will. So then God kicks us out and gives us all this misery, maybe to give us a better understanding of what free will entails (or just to be a prick).
So now us, Adam and Eve's descendants, have this choice. We can reject free will as best we can and instead choose to live as God intends us to (WWJD?). In doing so, we get a perfect paradise to go to. On the other hand, we can live life as we see fit and defy God's commandments. You don't know what you'll get from that, but it'll definitely fall short of perfect (and therefore heaven). At the same time, however, you don't know what to expect from the hell you choose to live in. This is kind of appropriate considering how there's like jack shit about hell in the bible (though Dante's Inferno was kind of rad, though I couldn't enjoy it because I didn't get any of the references).
So I guess you can see human existence as one big test. You go through life and, at some point, you're expected to decide if you'd prefer a stagnant, beautiful paradise or a flawed hell rich with possibilities. Maybe at the end they'll tally the results.
You could also go so far as to question why God created humans and try to derive an answer based on what I just made up. What I come up with is God, as a perfect being, encompasses pretty much everything positive that you can imagine. There's no badness in him (death, stink, whatever). Badness isn't possible through God and can only be attained through free will. Free will, however, isn't a bad thing. This makes God worry. He's perfect, and yet there's one thing called free will which isn't bad and which he cannot ever have or perhaps even hope to understand. That's why he needed to create humans and give them a choice between free will and Godliness. It's a contest between perfection and free will to determine if perfect is really perfect at all. In actuality, it's God versus humanity.
Sorry, I can't resist giving my load of imagination to anyone who even bothers to bring up the topic of religion.
I think I should start saving up for a really good digital studio....

Violence is administered unto others by people that think they are greater than them, and if you support the death penalty, then you think youre better than the person that has been sent to the hangman, and youre sorely mistaken. No one human being is better than another, and regardless of the consequences (much of which does not have any...

I twisted my ankle outside a club yesterday, and I wasnt even wearing heels. The last time I wore a pair, I was so overcome with the sensation of being aware that I hadnt worn them for so long I wasnt used to walking in them any longer. It must have been quite amusing for the people around I supposed....

I think we have a very distorted attitude about drugs. We call them "addicting" when in fact it is people who use them to the point of becoming addicted. I think we do that because we are greedy and selfish and want that good feeling all the time.
We need to think of drugs as you do sex, it is an appetite, one not meant to be satisfied all of the time.
Sorry about your ankle. I hope it heals up well. You should probably see someone about strengthening it.
Alcohol is a legalized drug but far more addictive than others that are not legal and tobacco is far worse for one's health than cannabis!
Drug abuse on a large scale was introduced into modern society by the Prohibition. It was easier to smuggle morphium than beer!
People are simply not taught how to deal with drugs...
Not many Jewish become alcoholics while wine is part of the holy service!
The problem are not the drugs but the people - users and pushers alike! With the US in the lead people nowadays manage to kill themselves with food!!!!!!!!! Abuse is the problem! The "I want more..." mentality is the far more dangerous than any single drug!!
About death-penalties, besides the fact if they can be justified or not, the main problem is that you can not truly apologize if you were wrong...
P.S.: I read the comment on the high heels issue... You are sure sexy and nice to look at. Knowing that there is an active mind behind your eyes simply enhances your sex-appeal to me and to read that mind and heart are connecting earns you a
