Arms for the poor?....

On Friday I had my last shift as a minion of the corporate giant known as THE CO-OP. After 7 months, it's a really great feeling to be leaving (even though it one of the easiest jobs i'll ever have). This and my with my results day coming dangerously close, it really is sinking in that in just over a month i'll be moving to university where i'll spend the next 3 years of my life! I need AB to get in for my Modern History and Politics course, which hopefully won't be too much of a problem. I do feel quite confident i got the grades but this doesn't stop the nerves from building. We'll just have to see how it goes. I'll keep you posted...

So the football season has kicked of and i really couldn't be less interested, it's Rugby i'm waiting for. As a Scarlets fan i'm hoping for a much improved season. ANYTHING would be better than the last two. We've made a few signings that i'm quite interested in seeing, manly Travis knoyle and Richie Pugh but i'm not expecting miracles. It might be sometime before we reach the heights of yesteryear, until then i'm going for the 'it's a young/developing side' excuse. However i'd bet on us to either reach the EDF final or reach the Magners League play offs.

I guess i might aswel make some predictions on who'll win what. Remember, take note and get to the bookies. I'm going for either London Irish or Gloucester to win the GP, Blues to win the EDF, Leinster to win Magners League and Toulous to get the Heiniken Cup (surely the Irish powers can't take it again)

So from rugby to Literature, Yey. I'm currently reading a book i picked up at New Wine called 'The Case For a Creator'. I'm only on chapter 4 but it is really interesting. It's written by this Journalist looking to see whether science has found all the answer and 'killed God. So far we've focused on Darwin and his theory of evolution. Basically it turns out it's mostly wrong and all the school text books declaring it as fact are lieing. It's incredible how much of the scientific 'facts' we learnt in biology lesson is actually crap. And how much of the stuff scientists tell us about life is just guess-work. I know that ultimately this is just one book with the writers own ideas but the evidence is all there. I'm finding it quite funny how these scientists need as much 'Faith' in their work as Christians do in God.
