Analyzing nicotine addiction (pt.2)
This is a continuation of an experiment i'm doing to help me cut back on smoking. So far, day 8 has gone by slowly, i've only had one cigarette today but i still refuse to buy packs, which has let me cut back from smoking 6-7 cigarettes daily to only 1-3 a day. I believe it should be a small run for the rest of the month and will ultimately help me when i try to quit in 2012.

Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
"Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die"
If you listen to this song carefully, it holds a lot of meaning. Well, at least to me. We are often so caught up with certain aspects of our lives, such as Career and Education that we forget about things that really matter. Some of those things are family, friends and loved ones.. because at the end of the day when you need a shoulder to lean on, so often we are left alone as money can't bring us a few comforting words or a warm meaningful hug. I hope that everyone gets a chance to listen to this song in order to appreciate and involve ourselves with aspects of life that actually matter. It's a good song to also relax with after a hard working day.

Alcohol prohibited Sundays.
Personally, I think this law is more absurd than any other! Georgia, as a state under the US laws are already facing issues with strict laws for drinking. For example, The legal drinking age being 21 promotes binge drinking among teenagers in High School/College. Because pupils under the age of 21 don't have regular access to Alcohol, they consume large amounts when they illegally get a hold of it. I believe that these laws encourage more crime than it's purpose to prevent it. Also here in Georgia, we have a large number of different religious communities that doesn't restrict drinking on Sundays. For these members in our state, I believe that the law is unfair, and illogical. It is a religious barrier that should only effect people of that certain faith, not a state as a whole.
Was mathematics invented? Or discovered?
Was mathematics invented, or discovered? This is a question that strikes my interest. To me, it is mainly about how the terms invented and discovered are defined. According to Google definitions, the terminology 'invented' is defined as: "come up with (an idea, plan, explanation, theory, or principle)", and discovered is defined as: To expose something previously covered. With the help of these definitions, I came to conclusions with myself that Mathematics was indeed, invented. As one had to collect a set of numbers (not necessarily all numbers), to create all sorts of formulas and patterns that resolute the relationship between each of those elements. Therefore, I believe that Mathematics, as a formula had to be invented. However, I am open to different opinions, and in the future I plan to analyze this matter more precisely than this.

Recount 09'
It's almost the end of 2009, and thinking back to the beginning of the year, I've experienced things that have taught me valuable life lessons. This year was the year that brought various changes into my life. Firstly, I started college opening up a new chapter to my life. I was laid off from my job, which required me to go out and find another one. I was also bombarded with more traffic offense tickets than I could afford. Looking back, I realize that I'll have a lot of memories to carry from this year for the rest of my life. Some very pleasant, and others not so much.. but all I can say is that I've lost nothing but gained so much more from the year of 2009.
