Does This Make Sense?

If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many waffles does it take to shingle the roof of a doghouse? First we have to consider the hen and a half. A full hen, sure, but then the half must be the bottom half. Otherwise, how would it lay a half an egg? Then there is the egg and a half. Half an egg? Which half? What if we just made it easy and say in 3 days there would be 3 eggs? Then there wouldn’t be a worry of half an egg leaking out into the nest. That also fixes the day and a half scenario. Who measures in half days? If I say it took me a day, then you can assess 24 hours or 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds worth of work. However, a half a day is an entirely other set of calculations. All that said, if we look at the roof of the doghouse as a square that is split into two parts, then it is much easier to calculate the number of waffles to cover it, but that raises more questions. How big is the dog? Are we talking small-welled waffles like Eggo, or are we talking large-welled homemade waffles? I guess in the end, if it were raining syrup to cover those waffles, it would be a sticky work day anyway trying to put the roof on. Moreover, I can only eat ¾ of an egg anyway so 50% of the day and a half’s produce would go to waste. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.

P.S. Happy April Fool’s Day

Drinking is Not a Sport

Every year at this time, it is a race to the liquor store for the same item. Happy juice, the drink of choice, hard water. Whatever you call it, I am talking about alcohol. Now, I will be the first to tell you, I am not a teetotaler. I imbibe just like everyone else. Well, maybe not like everyone else. I only drink a few. Some, however, have made drinking a sport, and they seriously break a sweat. With New Year’s just a few months ago, you would think the massive hangover would still be lurking in most people’s minds, but it doesn’t. Every year the green is worn and the beer never gets a chance to get warm. People drink like it will be their last time and all for a holiday that was supposed to be a time of cheer to celebrate a man who would probably abstain from gluttony of alcohol. I don’t want to yuck on someone’s yum, though. If you enjoy the day after St. Patty’s Day headache, then, by all means, party ‘till your heart’s content. Just don’t come crying to me when I am able to enjoy my day after because I had a sensible dinner of corn beef hash and cabbage to accompany my delicious beer. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.

Agnostic is the Best Answer

Oh! praise thee the possible lord and savior. If my judgement should falter, may your guessed existence sway me for I do not believe. No, I have not had a stroke. In fact, I believe myself to be a clear thinker full of nonsense as I spread it on the internet. With that thought in mind, I have a query that irks me and I am going to talk about it. That query has to do with whether or not there is a god. There are two sides to this equation. There are the faithful believers who have no doubt about an entity that exists somewhere in the nether that possibly controls everything we do. Then there is the other side of the equation that believes all parts to science and that if there is no empirical proof of existence, then there must not be existence. My problem is that both sides are at fault because they inevitably contradict themselves through their absolute thinking. Take the believers for instance. No matter what religion, although, for the purpose of this ramble, I am more talking about Christianity followers, the thought is that a greater being is out there that we look to for guidance and, in many cases, justification or retribution. However, many of the Christianity branches talk about not putting a godly figure above the “one true God.” In other words, one should only worship the God we hear about in the bible. Yet, we also see pictures of a figure that is supposed to be “God.” By all branches’ definitions, we have no idea what God looks like. In fact, the books about him say that we, as living humans, cannot comprehend what he looks like. So, the “God” most are worshiping towards is another being altogether, thereby breaking one of the rules. Moreover, if we cannot comprehend what “God” looks like then maybe he does not even “exist” by our human definition. But let’s not just poke holes in the believers. The non-believers are at fault as well. They say that without proof of existence, there is no being. However, these same “scientists” for lack of better words, claim that they can only hypothesize about theories until eventually they are definitively proven false. There is no way to definitively prove false there is no God. Unless we somehow learn to talk to the recently deceased, who could then tell us one way or another, those “scientists” are stuck in a limbo of only being able to hypothesize the non-existence of a greater being. So, what do we believe then. I think an agnostic viewpoint works for both. If we choose to believe that there might be a higher power and that it is possible they exist, then we can worship the being we believe to be there but also not completely stop hypothesizing that “it” may not even be real to begin with. Either way until I have more proof, I will just continue being a good human being and do as the good book says, while also continue to try to find evidence of this being, if only to satisfy my own curiosity. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.
