Fundamental Truths/Deep Thought Queries

Quick Side note: If you want me to link your blogs onto mine, please send me your blog address/name so I can do so.

Back to the blog. I've done this before on my other blog, but it's time to refresh it. Here are the few fundamental truths I've learned in the course of my 23 years of existence:

- The Gamet (Tommy's band) is pretty good.
- "Gamet" (Gamut) should be spelled with a "u" not an "e."
- Frozen poptarts are a tasty treat.
- OK GO has the most entertaining music videos on television/YouTube.
- Naruto is a good anime, but a poor English dub.
- M. Night Shymalan needs to think outside the box and do something other than suspense. He's losing it. Maybe try a nutball comedy starring Will Ferrell. And NO PLOT TWISTS!
- Wrestling school is the most satisfying beating I'll ever take.
- Some people are jerks for the sake of being jerks, but that doesn't mean they are jerks all the time. Otherwise, how would they have friends that can be jerks along with them?
- Not many people can accept the fact that I am both single and happy. I'm tired of when it's revealed that I'm single and they react like it's a bad thing. "It's okay, you'll find her someday." Find her? Who says I'm looking?
- YouTube.com is a great time waster.
- I need to cut out some carbs if I want to be a successful wrestler.
- Fat Tabby's is one of many great ideas that will never be realized.
- There is only one good sitcom on television right now and it's called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
- God is much bigger, smarter, and better than anyone can even conceive.
- It's easy and dangerous to be a sheep.
- I miss my friends. Old ones, new ones, and ones that have faded away. I still miss you, D.Lowe.
- My parents have done more than I can return in kind.
- Too much TV is bad. Good television is hard to find, but it exists. Just pick the shows that make you think and decypher them along with being entertaining.
- Good books are hard to find, but they are easier to find than good television. Too much reading is good.
- Everyone you care about will hurt you.
- Depression is crippling.
- It's weird that I'm a happy man that is fueled by anger.
- If I were to grow extra appendages, it would be wings. Red dragon wings to fit my hair color.
- Peace in the Middle East will only happen on a permanant basis when God reveals His face and says "Hey! Knock it off! Don't make me come down there!"
- It's sickening what actions and choices are made over green slips of paper.
- It's sad that science takes a backseat to business.

Now some deep thought queries:
- Why is it that the song that makes me feel close to God is not one sung at church but by a Hasidic Jew that sings reggae?
- Why do I consistently chase dreams that most consider too big?
- Why can't I kill all the ignorance in my mind?
- Why do people tolerate having God being used as a political tool?
- When did intolerance get confused with disagreement?
- When did comedians make more sense than politicians? Should we be scared of that?

Later.

I can semi-answer one question:

Music, like most other art forms, is quite subjective. Thus, what is inteded when it is written is not always how it will affect the listener.

There's more to it than that, but that's a big part of it.

Barnes,
Why should Gamet have a "U" in it? It is a play on the word gamete, they just dropped the "E" off the end. Right, Tommy?

Yes, Sarah, that is correct. But I certainly apreciate your Gamet-like, Erik.

Good blog so far. I'm experiencing an enjoyment-have.
