Something I Believe

There’s a lot of things I believe in.

I believe that something happens to you after you die, I just don’t know what. I’m not a religious person, but I won’t say that there isn’t a God. That I don’t know. But I know know that there has to be something more to death than just a long nap.

I believe that you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. I’ve been told this since I was little.

I believe that you should not just other people because they may be different; that you should accept people for who they are no matter what they believe in.

That being said, there’s a lot of things that I don’t believe in.

I don’t believe that murders, rapists and child molesters should ever be allowed to see the light of day ever again. if/when they are caught.

I don’t believe that we are the only ones in the universe.

I don’t believe that if there is a God, that He would make people suffer through illnesses such as cancer, ALS or the like. Why pray to God to get better if He’s the one who put you in that situation?

I suppose those are all touchy subjects, but finally, I do believe that we are all entitled to our own opinions, as long as we can argue for our thoughts.

Favourite TV Shows

I have a few favourite TV shows that are current:

  • Grey’s Anatomy. What girl isn’t in love with this show?
  • Private Practice. Other than everyone having sex with each other, the show is really good.
  • Weeds. Mary Louise Parker’s character is awesome. And her kids are going to need some serious therapy when they have their mid-life crisis.
  • Glee. Need I say anything that describes the greatness of this show?
  • Canada’s Worst Driver. Seriously, how can people like these be allowed on public roads?
  • The Ultimate Fighter. Yeah, it’s kind of a guy’s show, but who wouldn’t want to stare at the deliciousness that is Georges St. Pierre? ;)
  • Rookie Blue. It’s a pretty well made Canadian show about rookie city police in Ontario. Apparently the American viewers don’t think it’s “Canadian” enough. (i.e., not enough people wearing toques, lumberjack sweaters, saying “Eh” and eating poutine.)
  • Law & Order: SVU. Kyle and I love the intensity of this show, minus the ridiculous “What the hell is going to happen?” abrupt endings. We like to say that we’ve been “Dick Wolfed” (He’s the director of the show).

Of course, there’s a couple shows that aren’t on TV anymore which I loved (and will still watch if there’s a rerun)

  • Friends. Duh.
  • Alias. My mom and I used to watch this one all the time together. Ah Sidney Bristow, you are a smart cookie.

I’m sure there’s a lot more, but those are my favourites! What are you favourites, dear readers?

Something I’m Afraid Of

There’s lots of things to be afraid of: Death, losing a loved one, falling terribly ill, the end of the world. We all have those fears, or at least it’s safe to say that the majority of us do.

Then there’s the little things. Some people are afraid of snakes, some people are afraid of spiders. These are the little irrational fears that we develop over whatever reason. I don’t have too many irrational fears, but there are a couple that I’ll mention:

  • Spiders. I hate them with a bloody passion. My preferred method of killing them is with the bottom of my shoe or with something with a long handle. Generally, I’ll kill them with anything I think that won’t let them crawl on me.
  • Semi trucks. There’s something about their size that scares the crap out of me. They have huge blind spots, they often drive like maniacs and they can kill you in an instant. Morbid, I know, but I just don’t like driving past them on the highway. It takes all my might just to pass them without freaking out. Now, I know not all truck drivers drive poorly, but I’ve seen enough to know that there’s a lot of bad ones.
  • Being alone. I like my quiet alone time, but the thought of actually being ALONE alone doesn’t sit well with me. I’m just glad I have an awesome family and a few great friends I can depend on.

So really, there’s not much I’m too afraid of. Heights don’t bother me, nor do snakes, the open sea or birds.

What are you afraid of?
