Gara 1:

As Heather would say, "my computer is on baby crack." Guess what? Mine is too! evil

I was putting my SP 340 presentation together last night (procrastination at its best. sweatdrop Sue me), and somehow my eyes came across this little icon on the top right hand of my computer. It's the battery icon with an "x" in the center of it. Basically it means that my computer now cannot run on battery until I get it replaced. scream

Yes, I take the blame for such tragedy. emo For many years, I have left my wonderful PowerBook G4 on while I was asleep, just in case someone wanted to leave a message overnight. Half of the time, that never happens.

So until I have enough money to buy another battery, I guess I can just carry my charger with me (another cause of death - I always charged my computer unless I know I had enough battery to live on for a class or something).

Gara 2:

As posted on my blog at MySpace, I have come to terms that Yoda must be a neo-Buddhist. Yes, I am talking about that little old green Muppet who could still use a light saber while performing wicked moves, kinda like Neo but cooler because he is Yoda.

It all started this morning while I was sitting in my RELST 101 class which focuses on the religions in America. My instructor wrapped up the Hinduism unit and moved onto the Buddhism unit. And because I am also taking RELST 151, which is the World Religions course, this was all review for me. And we discussed about the Four Noble Truths, which reminded me of a certain quote little ol' Yoda used in Episode I. You know which one I am talking about, so here is a hybrid I made, possibly a new doctrine for the Jedi religion.

Fear leads to the path of the Dark Side
Fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Hate leads to suffering
Suffering is caused by our desires
To know our suffering is to know our desires
To end our suffering is to end our desires
To end our desires is to follow the Noble Eightfold Path

Who would have ever thought Yoda could be so enlightened?

And, yes, Rob, the Jedi Religion exists.
