egypturnashIf you're having comment problems, LJ knows, and is working on it.
I've been toying with writing something about my personal religious beliefs, since that sort of thing seems to have been in the air amongst the folks on my friends list lately. There are thoughts along those lines but they're not, somehow, worth solidifying into text; mostly it boils down to me not having much faith in anything. Plus there's a half a rant about how most flavors of Christianity seem to be about passing responsibility for all your moral decisions to more powerful folks, or forcing one's own morals onto others.
Essentially, I'm an instinctual Gnostic who's never experienced gnosis, so I remain unmoved towards any particular belief, or denial of same. Or... I'm a materialist and a rationalist; I wanna see proof, I want reasons, not pronouncements from on high. If I wandered into having religion, it'd probably be some kind of self-built postmodern neopagan thing.
I was also thinking about some other stuff that goes under the TMI filter, but way too much of what I write in here's been behind that lately. Things are proceeding apace on the main subject of those posts, going nowhere yet on the related issues. (If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, don't ask. All you'll get is evasions, at best.)
Work's been weird. I really need to hunt for some other job leads... ugh. No details 'cause I prefer to not be the one to drag Spümcø's laundry into public.
Debating scanning some bus doodles from the past week and a half. I wasn't showing them for various reasons, but I'm wavering on those reasons and feel like I could use some commentary on the concepts in 'em, see if the ideas work well for other people...
bedtime.
