Whether you're a catholic or an atheist, sometimes you probably wonder, "where did this planet come from?"

Well, science claims that a massive explosion occured from a very small, dense, and hot condition some billion years ago. It is only a theory, but still, a very good one.

Religion says a God, the supreme being of the universe, designed the planet and it's tiny inhabitants.

Now, which to believe?

God Vs. Science, an eternal match that has existed for centuries, and probably for centuries to come, if the world we call "home", is still around by that time.

I, for one, believe in my religion, which is Catholic. I believe, in my own words, that nothing could not have come from nothing.

Am I supposed to believe that:

Nothing + No One = Everything(?)

No. That sounds ludicrous. Some may say that believing in God is ludicrious, but personally, I believe that someone had built this world and it's functions. How can nothing give life and death?

It's impossible

Take, for example, a street light.

It does it's job without anybody operating it...at least, we can't see anyone or anything operating it. However, somewhere, a computer is programming it to turn either red or green. Someone had programmed that computer, and someone had built the street light, and yet, we can see no such thing, it looks like it's functioning on it's own. That's why some atheists believe.

They believe that this universe came from nothing, and it can perfectly build itself all on it's own, giving life from nothingness.

No, there was an archtitect, a builder, a designer.

And when this theory makes sense, people often say, "If God was the designer, who designed God?"

Well, that's the thing! Nobody did! God was always there. He didn't create himself, nor did anyone create him. We want to measure him, questioning his existence, making him something finite. Perhaps his kingdom of heaven was there, but our universe was not.

Remember, God is not human. He is a supreme being, he does not have human needs. He made us limited, we are not perfect. We harm each other, betray each other, and do not give the respect to each other that God originally made us to do. However, God gave us free will, and many of us abuse that free will, and turn it into something evil.

That's where Satan comes in. Satan is the master of all evil, and he manipulates us through the darkness and selfishness that dwells within our souls. He makes the evil look and feel more appealing than the good, and in the end, we discover the true evil of what we have done, but by then, the dark claws of pain and suffering are pulling us deeper and deeper into the void of despair, with us begging and screaming for God's help with the demons laughing and mocking at our torment and anguish...but he does not help, for we put this fate upon ourselves.

However, God has the mercy and patience for us no matter how deep in the vortex we are. His powerful hand will scoop us up and gently put you to the safer location, if you call for him strong enough.

When a satanist, atheist, or any human for that matter, turns to God, there is a celebration in heaven.

This is only my belief and theory. Any human, to me, is free to believe in what they want to. But I believe if you turn to God, he will give you whatever you want. But, you must respect him, just as he respects you, and he will always be with you no matter what. Do not solely pray to him to get what you want, however. He will punish you for your selfishness, and that punishment will be that you receive NOTHING. Love him, and for sure, he will give you gifts. However, he will love you no matter what.

"AND ALL THINGS, WHATSOVER YOU SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YOU SHALL RECEIVE." - St. Matthew 21:22

If you are an atheist, believe in science, for it is a great knowledge, and to discover where life came from is the ultimate goal of science. We humans are designed to learn, and there is no shame in that. Perhaps someday, you may change the world for the good of mankind.

Thanks for reading, and no matter what religious position you stand, I will only say one thing:

God bless you. =)

Finally, after waiting for months, my birthday is finally here!

I'm gonna be seventeen. =) Damn, I'm getting old!

I went to the mall with my dad today, and I got a couple shirts from Pacific Sunwear (Pac Sun), American Eagle, and Journeys. I got new jeans from A&E, and I bought my first pair of converse, they're gray.

Mmm-hmm, and I'm also getting an iphone, and a birthday cake! My older brother also got me two front-row-seat tickets to a Nine Inch Nails concert on Wednesday night.

This is seriously probably one of the greatest birthdays ever! =)

Isn't it funny when young people complain? Don't they sound like old people when they do?

Like when a young kid says, "Oh, I have no energy to move", that sounds like something an old man would say.

Can you imagine if a 17-year-old kid said, "Ugh, I'm so pissed 'cause I didn't have my coffee and ciggarette this morning."

Seriously, when I heard this kid say that, I almost burst out laughing. He sounds like an old man for crying out loud! XD

Of course, there is a sad side to this. For one thing, I've known this kid since the 1st grade, and back then, he was really cool and friendly. Now, he's some sourpuss who's grouchy and a real big pothead, and he knows "people who have tried heroine". Man, this poor kid's life is only going to go swirling into a torrent of pain.

He said his mom cleaned out his room, and he's pissed that "he can't find his drugs".

Wow. I wish this guy good luck. =/

Hi, guys.

As you know, I've given up my interests in music. As fun as using an ipod was, I think I'd rather be bored and have hearing, than be blasting my ipod and going deaf.

Well, recently, I've been looking up what an ipod, a simple little music-playing machine, can do to your ears.

Oh, lord....the dreaded hearing disorder no musician or music-lover wants to hear...."Tinnitus!"

People say that they've lived with it for six months, 5 years, 10 years, 25 years, and even 50 years. Some say they've learned to live with it. Others say it's driven them to the point of madness (including and not limited to suicide).

Yikes. And lemme tell you guys something, compared to how loud I was listening to my ipod, had I continued today, I probably would have gotten this dreaded ringing in the ears.

I had known that listening to my ipod was dangerous, but I didn't care. I just loved the music. And I listened and listened. However, as time went on, things were going great, until once in a blue moon, I'd feel someone, like, push the side of my head, and then suddenly, my hearing would vanish for a brief moment and a high-pitched "beeeeeeeeeeeeeep" sound would occur. It scared me sh!t-less, but when it went away, I promised myself to lower my ipod. And I did...sometimes.

But then, when I officially decided to do good in school, I had to get rid of my ipod....on my own. I looked the effects of what an ipod can do....and wow, tinnitus doesn't sound like fun.

At that moment, I opened up my trash can, and in went my hearing-destroying ipod.

It was hard, I admit, since I loved listening to music. But, as time went on, I learned to do other things on my spare time, like writing and drawing. And wow, those things are so much fun, especially knowing you're not hurting anything.

And now, if I wanna listen to music, all I do now is pull it very low, and listen only briefly through my speakers. I don't need headphones or loud music. It's good to hear it a low level...it seems more......enjoyable.

I took an online test, to check my hearing. It said my hearing was fine, but you can't be too sure. So, either way, I'm not taking anymore chances.

All I can say now is, every day, I go in front of my crucifex of Jesus Christ in my room, and I bow down to him, and I say aloud,

"Thank you, my Lord. You have shown me the error of my ways before the damage could have been done. Thank you for having pity on me and making me realize what could have happened had I not stopped. Thank you so much. I beg of you to let me hear and see the beautiful sounds and views of life until the day I die. Thank you, God."

Yes, I'm a bit religious. But, that's MY business. =)

Um, so yeah, out of experiance of a guy who used to love to rock hard and blast his ipod....

STOP NOW! HURRY! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! SAVE YOUR EARS!!!

YOUR EARS NEED TO LAST YOU YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!! THOSE TWO EARS ARE THE ONLY EARS YOU'LL EVER HAVE!! ONCE THEY'RE GONE.....THEY'RE GONE!!! YOU'LL NEVER HEAR YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC AGAIN, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO FOCUS AGAIN, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDEN'S SWEET, INNOCENT LAUGHTER, YOU'LL NEVER HEAR THE BEAUTIFUL SONG OF A BLUEBIRD OR A CANARY! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVERRRRR!!!!

STOP NOW, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!

I think I'm done with music. What I mean by that is, I think I'm done with discovering new bands and seeing how cool their music is.

I've gotten rid of my ipod, tell you the truth. I sold it for 100$. Quick cash, lemme tell ya. =)

Wow, I used to blast my ipod so loud, people have commented me sometimes to lower it. I don't know what'll become of my ears, but right now, I can hear fine. So, I just thank the good lord that I realized the dangers of loud music before anything could happen to my ears.

Some may think this is a bit extreme but, I suppose it's because I love my body, and even though I love(ed) music, I love my sense of hearing more. Be good to your body, and it will be good to you, I guess. I'm only going to listen to music through my computer speakers now, and at low, safe levels. No more of that heavy metal stuff. The hardest I'll go now is hard rock.

Lately, I've been drawing a lot more. I didn't realize I was actually a pretty decent drawer. I'm going back to my first love, "cartoons". Yes, I've sketched some characters, and I'm a good writer. I don't want to be a cartoonist, I hate comics and I think it's a boring job to do it all by yourself. I'd rather be working on my own production company, making my own shows with a good team of people.

So, Dee, if you're reading this, good luck on becoming a musician dude. Remember, whenever you're gonna be performing at a concert, remember to wear earplugs. Your hearing has to last a lifetime.
