So hell is a swear word? The hell? Why heck isn’t enough.

Posted on By

So, apparently hell is a swear word? What the hell? I don’t think it is.  When you say, heaven and hell – hell is not a swear world. It is just a place. A mysterious place. One that is probably full of anger, confusion and fire. All of which that I am using feeling when I use that word.

That said I’m not religious at all and I’m sorry, but I think religion is so very dumb to begin with. We would have so many less problems in the world if there was no religion. I’m not saying we should all bow to reason and science because that can also be dangerous but I am not a fan of religion. Besides, it makes no sense – but what where God came from? Was there the big bag and there was God or something? Where did he (or her, for a goddess) come from? It’s like a nice fairy tale people made up themselves to answer burning questions. At least it proves humans are somewhat creative.  Besides there’s so many different versions too! Adam and Eve…blah blah blah.  You know Imagine  “Nothing to kill or die for/And no religion too”…it’s just not worth the bloodshed. Really. It’s not.

*if you are deeply religious, you probably avoid talking to me about religion. That said, I still think the mythology is pretty cool…it’s just not what I believe in.

Is it just me, or nobody cares?

Have you ever had the overwhelming feeling that you work hard on something but no one really cares? Yeah…

I write this blog but it often feels like it’s a notebook to myself…which is fine I guess but slightly less than thrilling.

I have made illustrations and stuff but nobody seems to care. I guess it wasn’t good enough or something. I don’t know.  I won’t even know because nobody cares.

I once made an animated ecard (yeah, frame by frame animation) and pretty much nobody replied. Fine then. I don’t care that you don’t care what I do. Needless to say, the didn’ t get any more animation after that.

Why bother sending cards in general anyway if nobody cares? If they don’t care about a handmade animated card, they are  not going to care any mass-produced card either.

Can you hear the crickets here?

I know my sites get probably under 100 views per month and half of them are probably me. People sometimes visit my blog just to humour me and to say they saw it. But besides that? I’m not all too convinced that anybody cares…my feed subscribers are like…zero (okay one – ME) and well as my mailist.

Hello anybody out there? I think I can hear the croaking now too.  I think we’re by a swamp!

Maybe I need to get some friends (who care) or something. I don’t know.

Is there anybody out there? Does anyone care?

Whatever. I usually do these things for myself anyway… but if someone cared it would be nice.

Carry on, don’t pay any attention to me…I feel like Eeyore.

They took away the OED!

Um yeah. My local public library (Vancouver Public Library which is not small either) no longer provides access to the Oxford English Dictionary and I am incredibly miffed.  It’s really important that people have access to an excellent, authoritative dictionary and now that’s gone to the public around here.

Ugh. You all suck.  Not cool. Not cool.

I assume it was due to funding issues.

Oh – and me.  I don’t like American Dictionaries. I’m not sure why but I don’t feel that it’s right or something. (And I’m Canadian, so my English is more similar to American English.)

That said, I still have access to the OED as a university student…but I won’t after I graduate (obviously).

The OED at least sounds so much more authoritative then say…dictionary.com….
