We have all heard of Mark Twain, but not all of us have heard of Mark Twain's post-humous publication of "Letters from the Earth". This is some of Twain's most interesting and controversial work. He writes mainly on the topic of religion and how humans don't have a clue about religion and god. Twain writes from the view point of Satan writing a letter home from Earth. Satan views the entire human race as a vain and confused society who view themselves as the most superior creature. Satan goes on to say that humans are less superior than anacondas. For anyone that specializes in theism or for anyone who would like a differnt point of view on religion and the world, from a very reputable writer "Letters from the Earth" is an amazing read.

I'm a writer
So, I said I would not write for a while unless something cool happened... and it did. Thanks to my awesome friend Eliza I will now be writing for the SCSU newspaper. This may not sound like anything great, but for me it is. You have to understand my situation. I was a high school drop-out. I never read or wrote for leisure and I never excelled in school. I began writing, for myself when I started this blog page only a few months ago. I enjoy writing and it is a learning experience for me. So, for the sheer fact I was even asked to write for the paper gives me great honor and shows me how far I have come not only with my writing but as a person as well. I am excited and grateful and I hope I can continue to influence others by way of rhetoric. Thank you to everyone who reads my blog... (and soon to be articles)!!

Weekend Update!
Just a quick update... Had an awesome time this weekend. Went to celebrate Passover for my first time ever. It was interesting, but any holiday where you get to eat and drink is cool with me. My favorite part was meeting the cool people that were there. The family that my wife works for is awesome. Sunday we went to Albany with our friends Steffi and Andres and we went walking through some caves. It was a real cool experience. Half way through the trip I said "Hey, I'm in the earth!" and to me that is awesome. So, overall I had an awesometastic weekend but now it is crunch time. I have a ton of shit to work on for school and I will not be able to blog for a little bit... unless something really cool or crazy passes through my head. Ok, that is all.
Peace, love and wookie dick dreams!!

PLEASE READ!!!!
There is an issue that I need to clear up. People reading my blog now think that because of Spring Afternoon, I am going to go crazy and kill my wife. NO! That is not the point of my writing. I have researched a certain topic and I am using common things in my life to express that topic. Certain elements of the story may sound familiar and this strengthens the "Creepiness Factor" a little more. Based on the survey on my blog page, you guys like my creative writing. This is what I believe creative writing is. I was also inspired by a band Boys Night Out, their album Trainwreck offers a lot of feeling and emotion. I am not crazy nor do I have plans to kill my wife. Read my blog and enjoy my creativity and realize that it is just a story. Please!

Update & Mr. Roboto
I am brainstorming and coming up with some creative stuff to write. I promise to continue Spring Afternoon as well.
For now, I will leave a question: Can computers, one day Think? If we replace our neurons in our brains, one by one, with computer chips would we still be us once our brains became 100% computer? These are some questions that philosophers are studying now! What are your thoughts?
