Happy Days

In response to josh, I don't have a problem with religion or if people want to believe that they are going to go to a better place when they die. What I have a problem with, is that I don't see how religion is ever taken seriously when we know for a fact that religion has been altered, modified, recreated, and made up to fit the needs and best interests of millions of people over hundreds of years. It is fact that kings and queens changed things about religion to suit their needs. King Henry the XX created his own religion so he could get a divorce. So how can people purposely stick their heads in the sand and ignore the hundreds of years of hard fact and information that we know to be true? Why don't people separate the fact we can prove evolution and the fact that a bunch of fat bastards 2000 years ago wrote a good book. And how can so called true believers alter said book when it is convient and still take it seriously? some of the stuff found in the bible is just sick, but those parts they tend to leave out of serious conversation.

ok, I think I'm finding it hard to get out what I really want to say on the subject because I can think faster than I can type. I find too much information moving through my head to get it all out. I need to focus. One of the best ideas I've ever had involves making a web site that provides a simple way to access information. We've all done research papers and labs and book reports, so why can't I make one website that contains information of every subject like that, almost like an encyclopedia but since its on the internet I could link to everythign and provide millions of research papers and documents supporting each piece of knowledge. sort of like an ask jeeves site but one where the information i'm actually looking for is not presented as web search results. if I'm looking for information on the weight per foot of copper tube (like I did today) it would show me a table that can already be found in may trade publications. Or if I'm a high school student doing research on Viet nam, then it also gives me links to papers written on viet nam and all the different topics contain within that subject.

Its an ugly thing when people get nervous about money. i have a customer who is buying one of our heat exchangers and then selling it to his customer. He made a promise to his customer that the weight of the unit would be below 4000 pounds so that they could use their elevator to get it up to the tenth floor. So the middleman who is my customer has been hounding me all week about every aspect of the project. How much does this weigh, how much does that weigh, is this too long, are there enough baffles, is that space too big. Everything. hes already made the order so no matter what his customer pays him, he still has to pay for our 52,000 dollar heat exchanger. He's getting nervous since the weight is very close to 4000 pounds. We never made that guarantee. He may be stuck with a very expensive paper weight it things go badly. He's getting nervous.

The movie, I'm totally in and anytime someone would like to get serious about it, lets rock. I'm getting in a mood where I think I'm going to like to start writing, if I had people who wanted to make a movie, maybe I could write a movie. I also think it would be a shame if we didn't pool our talents and create something extrordinary. None of us wants to work the rest of our lives so why don't we do something that would set us up forever.

Mel Gibson just made an overly prejudous movie for 40 million. He stands to make 400 million from it.

its this type of thinking that makes be believe that there is no way we could fail at anything we all put our minds together on. No one wants to work for the rest of their lives. No one.
