Blogging once again

Well it has been only about 6 months since my last entry and I am glad to see that my blog is still here.

Nipissing University in North Bay is a pretty great place, somewhat small but I think that just makes it better.

Unfortunately I must be getting to writing lesson plans... But I am reading a very interesting book right now. It is called "The Deamon Haunted World - Science as a candle in the dark." It is written by Carl Sagan (Billions and billions and billions etc) and is quite the read. He discusses many strange happenings that go on in day to day life like alien abductions/ sightings, ghosts, gods and many other superstitions. He explains many likely explanations for all these events that make a lot of sense. It is amazing how the human mind cannot be trusted. I find it odd that we still have ghost hunter shows and a lot of other baloney even after this book was published. I guess the human thirst for the paranormal far outweights the need for truth.... something we don't see a lot of here in North America right now.

Anyways, the book is great. Anyone who wants to know more about the reality of the world we live in should take a peek at it. He makes some interesting points like: some people would say that science (truth) takes so much mystery and awe away from every day life (ie. religion, superstition) but doesn't knowing that you're made up of atoms and elements that were made in stars billions of years ago give you some connection to the universe? That is pretty awe inspiring to me.

Soon I'll have a full synposis for you, and hopefully some interesting facts and arguments.

It feels good to be writing again.
So good that I will leave you with two very handsome smiling faces.
