I've become much more of a social creature, meeting new people, hanging out with groups of people.  I think I enjoy the unpredictability of meeting people and the surprises that occasionally happen with them.</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:06:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Ups and Downs of Life</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=79&amp;Preview=0</link><description>I have now decided to allow myself to get really excited about anything that sounds fun.  I let myself dream about how great it's going to be.  It's like waiting for Christmas presents as a kid - it sometimes ends up being more fun than the actual presents you get. </description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:18:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Why I'm Not Blogging Much Anymore</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=78&amp;Preview=0</link><description>The main reason is that my viewpoints on morality and religion have continued to evolve (some Creationists still have a hard time even hearing that word right?), and are now at the point where many of my old friends and family members would be hurt by my words.</description><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:10:54 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Happiness</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=77&amp;Preview=0</link><description>During the first part of your life, you only become aware of happiness once you have lost it.</description><pubDate>Wed, 14 May 2008 17:48:06 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comfortable with Uncertainty (Book review)</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=76&amp;Preview=0</link><description>I've really enjoyed reading this book "Comfortable with Uncertainty" by Pema Chodron.  I see many similarities with Christian teachings here and for those who don't have a hang-up in comparing other moral teachings with Christian ones, you might also enjoy this book.</description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:08:34 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Questions, those pesky questions...</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=75&amp;Preview=0</link><description>How far should you and do you question your belief systems?</description><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2008 15:53:25 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Friendship</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=74&amp;Preview=0</link><description>Family is different because they never go away.  You don't have to talk regularly but you can always call and give, or ask for, help.  That reliability and dependability goes a long way.  Family can move across the world but you always stay in touch and if you move close again, the relationship continues.</description><pubDate>Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:57:49 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Singularity is Near</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=73&amp;Preview=0</link><description>A discussion format between Glenn and Chris regarding Ray Kurzweil`s definition of a singularity.</description><pubDate>Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:20:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>How Our Beliefs are Shaped</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=72&amp;Preview=0</link><description>The problem I see here is when people use this "comforting feeling" as a proof for their belief.  I don't think there is a convincing argument here.  Just wanting and desiring something to be true does not make it so.</description><pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:58:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Don`t ask me!</title><link>http://www.HappyPsychotic.com/ContentView.aspx?id=71&amp;Preview=0</link><description>Determining a belief structure based on the hypothesis of applying logic to experiences is a sound method of derivation.</description><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:00:33 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
