Best: Asking the question; "Why?"

Worst: Making up crap about magic and Gods when they can't answer it.

Hard to pin point, one of those gradual things. I know that by 11 it was quite dead;
three years later at 14 is when I began to let go of the belief in Yahweh/God.

too bad it isn't typo awareness month.

Why don't you revoke the press pass for the Fox network and call them for what they are; "The Propaganda Wing of the Republican Party" Why, why, try to pander to people who will treat anything short of you hanging yourself as some sort of great  injury against them? Even when you put effort into bringing down Kadafi, they will pretend that you had nothing to do with it...these people just hate you...stop trying to be nice!!!!!

That there's a great good spirit in the sky, and good people are rewarded for their goodness, and their no such thing as truly being dead.

Now that I'm older, I know better. Can't say the same for most Americans.

No...because there are no ghosts, no demon, no magic, no espers....none of that exists. I've never had a paranormal experience and it is my belief no one else has. Perhaps they've experience unexplained phenomenon, but the explanations of magic, spiritual beings and the like is hooey.

This last Thursday Erin and I went to the Eastern State Penitentiary up in Philadelphia. Our trip include the daytime visit to see the abandoned prison in it state of a stabilized ruin, which is quite photogenic in an Urban explorer sort of way...without the messy nature of actual urbex. Which makes it kind of pussy, but still photogenic none the less.

After dinner at the Firehouse across the street, which was a bit overpriced, but outside of the gristle in the meat of my steak, I really liked the place, Erin didn't quite have the same experience though. Well, after that dinner, I went to go park at the zoo...and proceeded to get lost. I got a little hot under the collar, because apparently Philadelphia has an aversion to putting up actual sings with the street names on them. None the less, along the "water works" area, Philly is quite beautiful. Though overall, the town is really, really, ugly IMNSHO, and I come from Baltimore.

After that we visited the Prison again, now at night for "terror behind the Walls" haunted attraction. While a bit short, it was a genuinely scary thrill. Somehow when the very first scare caught me off guard, I was sufficiently taken out of my usual jaded self to really enjoy the experience.

So I will now inundate you with pictures I took:

I thought it was nothing but a second hand emotion. But I suppose that has nothing to do with it.
