GOD

Ah.

I totally emphatically believe God is unfathomable.  We cannot begin to begin to think about
comprehension of that which is God.

(( I got this far in my reply before your followup:

It's not annoying; I was just busy, and it takes me a while to figure out how to explain what's in
my brain.. ))

I think we differ on basically one (1) point:

I don't think it's necessary to invoke the name "Jesus" in order to be connected to God.  Okay,
well, in English it's Jesus, while in Spanish it's Jesus, etc.

I mean, I don't think it's required to think that there was exactly one son of God, and He died on a
cross and all that stuff.

We've already discussed that names are just names.  Various languages use different names.  

What about a deaf / mute man who can't say "Jesus" but can make the sign in sign language?  So the
point is the *word* "Jesus" is not the point.  It's just a concept: "Son of God" 
So we could say "In the concept of the son of God I pray, amen."

So, if it's just a concept of the son of God, then why not the daughter of God?  Why not the love of
God?  Why not the idea of God?

Why not just God?

So I  figure I'll just talk directly to God and not any of God's designated authorities.

But then I feel like God, being God, and infinite, and infinitely unknowable, is perhaps a bit too
big for me to grasp.

So I bring in my own concept of "my angels."  In my mind, they are equivalent to the progeny of God
(e.g. the daughter of God, or the son of God, i.e. Jesus) but they are my own.

The word "Jesus" (or its equivalent in other languages) has been...  shall I say ...  tainted by a
lot of writings, emotions, just a lot of cruft of other living human people over the years.  Same
with Mohammad, Buddha, and to a lesser extent, Elvis, Madonna, Diana, and Oprah.

So I want a pure connection.  My own connection to God.  No name calling.  No "my connection is
better than your connection."  Just my connection to God.

Your connection to God is great.  I just don't want to use it.  I have my own.

Same with chopsticks.  Your chopsticks are a great connection to food.  I have my own.

Getting shizzle done on flash project. Hopefully save and restore data.

Morning

3:24pm JST Wednesday 7 February 2007 (day 13468)

Sitting on the train headed for work and feeling rather like I've had a productive morning. After working for over an hour on flash, I uploaded several more vids to youtube, including: the roller coasters Fujiyama and Orichi; me, Jesse, and Takako playing around a park in Kawasaki; brief snippet of climbing Mt Fuji back in July 2004; riding my bicycle down some stairs, and others. Oh, and I uploaded a video of The Heidies in the ball bath.

Uploaded some images, including in-progress construction of track in Shibuya, and escalators in Sakurashinmachi. Plus the ring I made last night for Marble Track 2.

Basically just getting a lot of shizzle of my compizzle.

I replied / archived 15 emails, reducing my inbox load from 219 to 204 messages.

Headed early to work so I can chow a bit and work on the marble track. Hopefully the ring will fit perfectly.

3:31pm JST

Now in Shibuya station. よし！

Slap

3:58pm JST Wednesday 7 February 2007 (day 13468)

Sigh.

Kindof a slap in the face today when I bought next month's train pass. Reiko was all confused, "why did you buy it so early?"

As if it's a super complicated question.

Fucking stupid bureaucracy. Let her just try to get me to turn in my ticket *next* month. I'm going to exchange this one for the three month version just to fuck up the system.

But to what end?

I just want to be appreciated for getting things done.

I appreciate myself getting things done.

Reiko often says I'm not very professional. I guess this counts as an example of that. Barf.

Some time ago, I decided clearly that I would not try to scam this system of having our train passes reimbursed. I could, for example, ride my bicycle to work instead of using the train; it would be a trick to get everything aligned so I'd actually make money at it, given that they want a copy of the train pass. And we're not allowed to buy more than 1 month at a time, in case I quit before the pass is up, and then the school has to eat the extra train pass days.

But now, I'm thinking about ways to scam the system. I can, perhaps, buy a three month version, and then somehow simulate the three corresponding 1 month versions. I just need to present a photo copy, or a photoshopped copy...
