Skepticism Has It's Tolls, But The Good Times Still Roll

What's going on my dudes?

I'm sitting out here at the same Bat-Time on the same Bat-Channel. 

Check again. This is indeed your TV and not your computer or laptop or phone. 

And you're sitting way too close to the screen.

(You're an idiot if you actually leaned back and checked.)

I just got done belting out Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head. I've done it so many times it might as well be part of my morning ritual.

I had a good-ass time last night. I hung with Eta Sigma Xi at their Fraternity House. We played a couple of VG's. And if there's one thing I can tell you about all of them, it's that they're chill as fuck, warm and welcoming. And I think they've rubbed off on me just a tiny bit. 

Just a tad bit, you know?

I kinda want to join them so I can learn their ways and teach them to any little guys that remind of me myself. But I haven't gotten old enough to meet anyone like that anyone. But when it does happen, pledged or not, I'm gonna be taking some kids under my wing.

Me when I find some socially awkward freshmen, next year.

Also yesterday (I really should start writing these right before I go to bed) inspired by Dale Carnegie, I pulled a reverse R.E.M.

So I basically stood in the middle of an empty field and found Jesus.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living has undoubtedly helped me to change my life and reduce my stress. So I don't feel like Carnegie is steering me wrong in recommending prayer to fight anxiety. Maybe he is. Maybe he was just shamelessly shilling for religion. I honestly don't care.

To be honest, after three years of skepticism, I can tell you, I'd rather be happy and free from worry than neurotic and right about anything. If that takes a life of prayer to achieve, then so be it. I'm not encouraging anyone else to be ignorant, or not to explore different points of view. Hell I've went to the ends of Atheism, Satanism, sun worship and back.  I'm not promoting the church, or religion, or spirituality, either. To each his own. I just know what works for me and quite frankly would rather feel happy.

Jesus, that got a little too preachy. Here have some Slayer...

Later one of the dudes from my organization wants to meet up. I don't know why, but if I had to take a wild guess I'd say it was about making an app. That's what happens when you introduce yourself as an app maker. There's no harm in that, though. I am an app maker. I've just been a bit uninspired of late.

So I've got that goin' for me which is nice. And I don't say that sarcastically. (There's a first time for everything.)

Well y'all, this about wraps this one up.

Remember to be true to yourselves and to forge your own paths. The world already had Michael Jackson, James Dean, MLK and Gandhi. The greatest gift you can give it is you.

Peace.
