Like the title says, this is an account of my day and none of it has been altered or embellished. I am about to write about a topic I usually do not like talking about, mainly due to controversy.

I woke up today, after about four to five hours of sleep. I had closed at work the night before and eventually fell asleep with boots and all on. After letting Luke out to do his morning business I decided to go down to a lake and park I used to bike down to frequently. I wanted to take photos of the surrounding area, scouting the area out so I can keep up on my end of a trade with  Meaeshana I went to my parent's house and talked to them for a bit. I brought with me my camera, phone, Mp3 player, and a book I am currently reading. The book is an important catalyst of the day's event. This book was written by Greg Graffin and Preston Jones entitled Is Belief In God Good, Bad, Or Irrelevant? A Professor And A Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism, & Christianity.. After departing my parent's house I climbed on a bus and rode it toward my destination. When I got off the bus an elderly man rode by me on a bicycle as I walked toward the lake. When I got there I found out the batteries in my camera were dead x3. Just my luck. However, a gas station was somewhat nearby, so I decided to walk and get some batteries and walk back to the lake. After ten to fifteen minutes of walking I arrived at a Loaf N' Jug to find the same elderly man walking out. He wanted to talk to me about my book and explain how he saw religion. Around this gas station were stones, both large and small, and he wanted me to follow him to these stones. First thing that came to my mind was this man is trying to bash my head in with a large rock. My paranoid thoughts didn't come true, instead he used smaller rocks to symbolize Carbon, Oxygen, so on and so forth. Saying he doesn't believe God created everything, but he made everything. He explained everything through chemical formulas and such. He explained he attended and graduated from Berkley. He was an engineer at one point. He's a Vietnam vet and has been out of work for the past forty years. After awhile we exchanged formalities. I introduced myself, and he introduced himself as Jesus Christ O.O. He asked me "How does it feel meeting Jesus?" I simply replied "Pretty normal" He smiled and laughed eventually saying "Exactly, that shouldn't be abnormal" We walked into the gas station and he wrote down notes, what the bible would look like through an engineer's point of view, and so on. He thinks that all the soldiers in Afghanistan should lay their weapons down and help the farmers and nomads with their cattle and such. He says if we go on with our lifestyle the Earth will be a very bad place and eventually die off. Then again who doesn't say that. After our conversation he asked if I could spare any change and I gave him a few bucks. He told me I made his day, no one wants to listen to him and was glad to find an open minded person up for discussion. The lesson for today: Don't read in public x3

I did manage to take a photo of the man named Jesus, after buying batteries at the gas station of course. I gotta say, I didn't get anything accomplished I wanted to today, but I will sometime this week.

For those of you who don't know Greg Graffin is the lead singer for a punk band known as Bad Religion. The links are some Bad Religion songs that rock, then again I haven't heard one that didn't
