My mood is currently; Severe Apathy.

I have nothing to say, other than to remark on the fact that I must have been extremely bored when I wrote that blow by blow account of my day a couple of days ago. How sad. :P

It's been fun wasting my time watching the Olympics. Even though, as a nation, we're generally shit. I hope I remember one or two facts from all this TV for the pub quizzes next academic year.

God, there I go again... rambling on about nothing, trying to get my mind to focus on other things for a change. Which reminds me, I've been reading a fair bit up on Buddhism. It's fascinating and I'm really interested in it. Which will probably come as a surprise to some people who know me for my complete agnostic beliefs.

Actually, I was trying to choose the correct word there, so I checked up on the definitions...

ag·nos·tic
- An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time.

a·the·ist
- One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

I'm not sure which I'd class myself as. I have views that mean I don't believe in a "God". But I'm not sure whether they're strong enough that I believe categorically that there is no God. Hence why I chose the term agnositc.

There we go... a post with an ounce of content. That's not bad, all things considered.

I agree about Buddhism, it seems to have a fair amount of sensible things to say, although I wouldn't call myself Buddhist. Still, good for it!
