Today...

Just wanted to share a couple of things I heard today that really got me thinking. So today I was watching Lie to Me on Fox and they started playing a song by Crowded House here it is

Lyrics to Four Seasons In One Day :
Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
Sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up like rain, like rain
Fills my cup, like four seasons in one day

Doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an un-made bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away, like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up like rain, like rain
Fills my cup, like four seasons in one day

and I started thinking about how fast life goes by and how we shouldn't miss anything or let anything pass us by. I heard a saying that I really like "Pay attention cause you never know what is going to happen."

The second thing I saw was a bumper sticker that said

Dear, God

Why do you allow violence in our schools

Sincerely, Concerned Student

Dear, Concerned Student

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely, God

This made me laugh and also got me thinking why doesn't our school promote talking about religious beliefs? I ask this because I thought the point of school was to learn and to ask questions about what we think and if this is true why should we be prohibited from asking about god or what others believe. Why shouldn't we get in debates about who is right and who is wrong on certain topics. I learned from Mike Messerli that to learn you must first ask a question. But then I said wait a second I remember why we can't do that at school. Because school is no longer about learning through asking questions its about getting barked at. While having things repeated to you over and over again until its so ingrained in your brain you no longer feel like you should ask a question you should just sit and listen...

This is my 2 cents
