I’m in love…

with my new Ibanez GRG150. Bitch

She’s so beautiful. *sigh*

I can’t play the guitar…yet.

I now know three chords. But I can’t switch between them…yet.

Things will happen…soon

Ladies and gentlemen…

What?

They have a point.

I was reading the Conservapedia articles on stuff like Atheism, God, Jesus Christ,Examples of Bias in Wikipedia and The Theory of Evolution.

Mainly it’s what you’d expect from an Americentric socially conservative and Conservative Christian point of view. Their theories are full of shit. They only show studies which support their view. And of course, lots of self-righteous judgement.To quote an article

The is considerable amount of scientific evidence that suggest that theism is more conducive to mental and physical health than atheism.

It’s actually a lot of crap. Read the articles if you want to laugh.

Although what’s scary is that unlike Uncyclopedia, which is pure satire, these people are serious about what they write. They actually believe in all of this. I don’t really have a problem with that, since that’s their belief system. But it’s sad how they refuse to accept other points-of-view. Can’t see much progress if everybody remains so close-minded.

Also some of their articles state theories that are well, not proven. In their article on abortion they state that

The vast majority of scientific studies have shown that abortion causes an increase in breast cancer, including 16 out of 17 statistically significant studies. Studies showing that abortion increases breast cancer predate the political controversy.It is undisputed that childbirth protects against breast cancer, and thus early termination of pregnancy must increase the risk of cancer for the mother compared to carrying that same pregnancy to birth. Yet the abortion industry conceals this increased risk, just as the tobacco industry concealed its cancer risk for decades.

I wonder how they decided how statistically significant a study was. Also I wonder if they took other factors into account. In the article I couldn’t find anything that said so.

And the article on Gender Differences states that

Gender differences between men and women have been known since antiquity. Man are more masculine (manly), and women are more feminine. Not only are their physical bodies different, but there are significant character differences as well. This makes sense, because God made men and women “in his image” (Genesis 1:27) so as to reflect his divine nature. (Romans 1:20)

.

Oh and did you know that Homosexual have an agenda? Yes, according to this article they did.

I don’t have anything against the site. After all, no one’s forcing me to read anything on it. In fact there’s nothing wrong with it.

Yet, it just doesn’t feel right. Reading it makes no sense. Trying to understand why anyone would write anything that only states a biased point of view is hard. This is especially ironic since it was formed because they claimed Wikipedia was biased.

Oh well. There’s always Uncyclopedia.

So, News.

Not much really. Met up with some of my old school friends today. Had a lot of fun.

Uni reopens on Monday. Looking forward to meeting the juniors. Not looking forward to Old English much. Chaucer I don’t really mind. Augustan Renaissance I don’t like the sound of. Must buy Nietzsche. No, I am not mad. Okay, just a bit.

That is all.

Door Talk.

My room’s door had the following things stuck on it.

• A poster of the Backstreet Boys.(It was free)
• Some motorbike cut-outs from some magazine
• Some car cut-outs from some magazine
• A copy of a cartoon I saw in India Today’s 20th anniversary issue
• An Ubuntu sticker

Now changes have been made.

• Backstreet Boys out, Charlie Chaplin in
• I’ve also stuck some of my old school ID cards on the door

I have no idea why I stuck those ID cards. But they look a bit cool, I must say.

Oh well, I’ve also gone and stuck a poster of Satch on my room’s wall.

Next to come up on the wall will be Iron Maiden.

Ha ha ha

Check out the avataars now.

First Day in JU (Tagged by Reeti)

Let’s see…I suppose First day means both the admission day and the first day.

Admission Day
The admission process was supposed to start at 10:30 AM so I decided to catch an early morning bus. It started to rain in the morning, the bus came late, it blew a tyre,bal blah blah. End Result. I get to JU at 1:30 PM. By that time the IR admission had started. I had to first go to The Principal Secretary of The Faculty of Arts. Then go to ALal, Who promptly asks me where I got stuck. (I had already informed them, that I would be late due to circumstances beyond my control) Then Amlanda verified my documents. He asked me where I got stuck. Go back down, fill fee book(Which was fairly easy), pay money(The exact amount), pick up Hostel form(was useless), did not pick up syllabus book(since it was IR syllabus book). Missed the ED lecture by Tintinda.( I first thought he was a student. He was sitting on one of the desks in a T-shirt. But luckily did not say anything to him.) Signed up for EDs. Went to mama’r dokan to find a room to stay in. Found a room. Went home.

The First Day
Try to find classroom. First go to wrong classroom(It was the UG3 classroom). Found Arindam there. Went to correct classroom(Which was the UG2 classroom). Squeezed in with Arindam, Aditya and Subael. Got introduced to Abhijan, Anomitra and Sohini…and promptly forgot their names. Infact I also forgot Arindam’s, Aditya’s and Subael’s names. Hey, not my fault. Listened to various lectures by the profs. Amlanda saying how JUDE was acquiring the reputation of a fun place, and how it was also a place for serious academic research. Sukantada saying that yes, JUDE was a fun place…and the rest…well, I could not understand what he said after that. Rimidi saying stuff like we cover the syllabus really fast and Alal making his bad puns. Plus stuff like Supriyadi telling us about the various canteens and their names. Also warning us to be wary of Ahirwaad Canteen as they sometimes ,quite literally, gave “ashirwaad” with their food(and Tintinda was flapping his hands to indicate birds) Then we get food packets and day’s over. Which was a bit of a surprise. I remember Aditya saying as we walked out:- “First they say you have to work your ass off…then they say the day’s over.”

I would also like to add another first day, the day studies started(which was basically the very next day).

The day studies started.

Walked into class(Classroom had shifted. We were in a bigger classroom, since everyone was sitting on each other in the UG2 classroom). Met Lav. He asked me what the things over the door were. I informed him that they were called pelmets. And that lizards,bats,and sometimes honeybees would nest in them. Lav, being Lav, does not ask me about the bats,lizards or honeybees but instead ask me “Pelmets? What’s the etymology of the word?” and I told him “I haven’t the slightest clue.” Then First up Romantics. Rafatda. Nuff Zed. Victorians. Tintinda. Nuff Zed. break. explored canteens with Lav. Met Sambuddha. No EDs. Saw Lav asking Alal who had written the poem that was in our entrance exam, as he wanted to ask him a few things. Realised Lav was MAD. Bought a bucket. Went back to mess.

The End…of The Beginning
