Have you ever thought that maybe child prodigies are actually people who have been reincarnated with their memories intact?

Religious stuff. Skip if you’re not interested. This week Baha’is are celebrating the anniversaries of the births of The Bab and Baha’u’llah. I went to the observance last night. It’s the first time I’ve seeked out the Baha’i community in almost a decade and the first time I’ve seeked them out since I’ve moved to this city. The turn out was pretty large, which is good an to be expected because it’s an important event. They’re a bunch of good folks and they now have my e-mail address to send me event calendars and newsletters, so I’ll try to do things here and there when work permits. As an aside, I did discover that praying in private is a lot easier than praying with others. The emotional tempo is different for both situations and when I pray with others my mind wanders.

I looked up UNICEF on Wikipedia yesterday, cause reasons. I’m very much confused as to why their stance on adoption is controversial cause it seems pretty reasonable. If any of the great minds of Hubski could fill me in on what I’m missing, that’d be great, cause I don’t see it. On a related note, every single person I’ve ever talked to about these things have nothing but great things to say about Doctors Without Borders. It’s amazing that a large, international organization has been able to receive so much praise and avoid a lot of criticism. Either they’re paragons of integrity and discipline or they have a really, really good PR team.

Last week someone told me “gonna” wasn’t a real word. I told them to Google it and STFU. I know my english.
