So, as some of you may or may not know, I have had trouble believing in the existence of a God after both my brother and grandfather's untimely deaths. I just couldn't wrap my mind around how someone so loving and kind could take two pure, kind-hearted individuals, and rip them from their lives in horrifically tragic and incredibly freakish ways.
My brother was killed while he was in his room "napping". I say napping, because he was supposed to be asleep, but clearly, he was not. He had somehow clamored onto his changing table (he was two-years old) and gotten into a net we kept in the corner of his room to hold his stuffed animals off of the ground. Well, when he tried to get out of the net, he went in between the net and the wall, using his two-year old mind to figure out it would hurt if he jumped out the front way. On his way down the wall, he must of somehow gotten caught, near his neck and suffocated. To this day, he remains THE ONLY child in the United States of America that has died in this specific way. How much of a freak accident is that?! I mean seriously, what the hell?
The way my grandfather died is equally as strange and no less sad. I don't remember as much about his death because I wasn't actually around when he passed, luckily he died in the hospital and wasn't discovered as my brother had been. My grandpa died of Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis, a disease that hardens the tissue of the lungs and turns it into scar tissue, effectively asphyxiating and suffocating the victim by not allowing the lungs to inflate with oxygen. He is one of very few that have died from this as well. Are you beginning to see why I kind of had a problem with this God character? Especially when I had bible-wielding friends saying things like "God has his reasons" and "God is merciful and loving". What kind of reason could he POSSIBLY have? And how merciful and loving is a God who kills in such ways? Not the kind of God I want to be associated with.
So I began on my road of Agnosticism. I was on-the-fence about the existence of God and I wasn't 100% sure I even WANTED to believe.
Okay, now on to how I believe God and the Tenth Dimension are related.
I have thought of a possible theory that I have certainly never heard of being proposed. As a few of you may know, there are supposedly ten dimensions, the first of which being a single line, the second, a two-dimensional object, the third being our own, the fourth being time, and so on. If you have not seen the video, please check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxieS-6WuA. Well, at one end of the spectrum of dimensions, there is the fabled "0th" dimension, which is a single point in an endlessly vast series of events, beings, times, and universes that does not have another point with which to form the First dimension. At the other end, there is the Tenth Dimension. Now, I know what you're thinking, doesn't that mean there are actually 11 dimensions? Well, yes, and no. The 0th dimension is a dimension while at the same time it isn't. We will get into that some other time though. The Tenth Dimension is the dimension of strings that hold together the subatomic particles that hold together the atoms that hold together every part of our universe. The Tenth Dimension is an infinitely large series of other dimensions and possible outcomes and different universes, all in a single point which creates, in-and-of itself, another 0th dimension. Yes, the Tenth Dimension is every dimension in one and it is also none at the same time.
Here is the list of striking similarities between the Tenth Dimension, and God.
1. Both hold together all that is, all that ever has been, and all that ever will be.
2. Both created existence as we know it.
3. Both control what happens daily.
4. Both are invisible to the human eye.
5. Both have no physical evidence of existence, only Religious or Metaphysical.
With these similarities, I strongly believe that if there is a God, He/she/it IS the Tenth Dimension. The thing that is everywhere and nowhere all at once. The thing that creates, destroys, and rebuilds.
While my grasp of metaphysics is shaky at best and I just began looking into it today, I believe that this could be a possible option in which both Science AND Religion are correct. And that's what everyone wants in the end, isn't it, to be right?
I honestly cannot grasp any other concept besides the idea that God is a series of strings that created the Big Bang (many believe that the Big Bang was caused when two parallel dimensions collided, the resulting explosion occurring when the very edges of the universes touched on a subatomic, Tenth Dimensional level), the Universe, the Galaxy, The plant earth, and the existence of man as we are.
This is my theory, I don't know if it's right, and I'm not 100% sure if I believe it or even totally understand it and I can't expect that many other people will understand it either. But here it is.
Peace out, girl scouts.

Oh my god, no way! First post, totes exciting!
Hello everybody! My name is Brett, as you are all probably aware. If you didn't know that, then you really should be more attentive. I make YouTube videos for funsies and the reason I started this blog is because I saw my friend Camael doing it and thought it'd be a fun idea.
Okay, now that we've gotten all of the generic stuff out of the way, let's get to what you are really reading this for-- The stories.
A large quantity of people really, really, really, really, really dislike Helvetica font, so naturally, I have to use it for my first blog post. To be honest, I am a little disappointed in BlogSpot for having a font that is so attuned to Hipsters that it doesn't even begin to tip the scales into the realm of humor and laugh-ability.
That was too long-winded. Time to start over.
So today was a shitty day overall, I don't know why it was, it just was. It seems like most of my days are like that now. I've been in a funk lately, I have still been doing school work but I have found it much harder to have fun and to enjoy the little things in life. Maybe I have depression. I certainly hope not, Depression has affected people close to me in ways that I hate. But we'll get more into that later.
Yesterday was my parents' anniversary. It's been exactly two years and one day. They were married once before and got a divorce but now they're back together and all that good stuff. It's been twenty years since their first go. I am genuinely happy for them.
Has anyone else ever noticed that "one" is the strangest looking number when it's typed numerically, like"1" I think it looks stupid, whereas "2", "3", "4", etc. are all perfectly acceptable and look decent.
Maybe I'm just strange.
Yeah, that's it.
So on Wednesday I will be able to go get my license, FINALLY, unfortunately, the shit-hole-mc-stupid-face DPS office isn't open on Wednesdays, so I have to wait until Thursday. Ridiculous, I know.
I could have made a joke about "Friday" by She-who-will-not-be-named, but I didn't. Love me forever.
Well, I guess that concludes my first blog post and I am going to make the same promise everyone else makes about everyTHING else... They will get better, just stick with it, and me, and we'll all be fine. If not... then... okay.
Peace out, girl scouts
