Here it is. The long awaited podcast. I have a guest on the show, Josiah Ball and we discuss Avatar and the new "iPad" coming out from Apple. I mention a "making of video" for avatar and will give you the link to watch that after. Good times. We had some problems with the sound quality, but I promise it will be fixed for the next podcast. 

Creativity

The concept of creativity has been on my mind lately. When I look around at the world around me, I see more and more creativity. Youtube is a good example of an outlet exploding with content. 15 years ago the ability to express your creativity and ideas was limited to main stream media and entertainment outlets such as books, movies, and music. But in the last 15 years that has changed drastically.

Tolerance

As many do, I was reading some of the news highlights on Yahoo’s main page today, and I came across one that I thought was interesting. It was about how France is putting forth a bill to ban full Muslim veils. The draft of the legislation reads as follows; "No one may, in spaces open to the public and on public streets, wear a garment or an accessory that has the effect of hiding the face”. President Nicolas Sarkozy opened the door to a possible ban in June, telling a parliament session in Versailles that such dress "is not welcome" in France.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Attacked By Time Traveling Bird. Discussions of God.

Ok so I came across a few articles about this LHC device that was created to study the Higgs Boson Particle (God Particle). Here is an article from about 2 years ago: http://www.universetoday.com/2008/02/07/large-hadron-collider-could-create-wormholes-a-gateway-for-time-travelers/. It was a very expensive and large undertaking.

Want

What would someone look like who didn't want anything? When I look back on any part of my life there is always one constant; want. No matter what I have I want more. I want new. I want different. I want the same. There is no end. It does not stop at belongings either. I want better relationships. I want respect. I want to be acknowledged for my awesomeness. I want to not have delusions of grandeur, heh heh. But most of all I want love.

Sleep

Sleep is a fascinating concept to me regardless of whether you believe in God or macro evolution. Think about it. Everyday most mammals require sleep once a day. Not moving, with eyes closed. Imagine aliens from a different planet that never slept coming to earth to learn that we have to shut down and sleep 5-9 hours a day not doing anything but taking up space. I am sure their plan of attack would be for it to happen at night. And then all of the world would rest on my shoulders. (You will see why later)

Let's get this party started

Hello, I am THE Lucky Bum. My real name is Nehemiah, but that is hard for people to care about so I will stick with this for the general name recognition purposes. There is nothing special about me other than my passion for life and the wonders it has to offer us. I like to discuss interesting topics and to stretch my brain muscle as often as I can. I like media and entertainment as well as the good old fashion subjects such as Religion and Philosophy.
