Well.....guess this is my very first blog....so lets start with the name of my blog....why the hell did I choose something as absurd as the looking glass? This probably would be a commentary on my life...where I am more an observer than a participant...unable to take part in life..but with the dubious gift of starking clarity of sight...a looking glass is another name for a mirror..actually an old name for mirror..and here the use signifies the fact that in life....we see ourselves in the events that surround us....our perception is defined by our character and our character is defined by our choices...so in a sense...we kinda see life as we want..not as it is...
WELL!! Down to business...what would I be talking about? Well....plenty of stuff....I'm kind of a bohemian...and I have a pretty diverse range of interests..so u can expect anything from a blazing criticism of the Pope, to a review of a movie, or music album...or a round of Bush-whacking,,....to all sorts of funny....
LIFE IS WHAT U MAKE OF IT...NOT WHAT IT MAKES OF U
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
Richard Dawkins
"Leon Lederman, the physicist and Nobel laureate, once half-jokingly remarked that the real goal of physics was to come up with an equation that could explain the universe but still be small enough to fit on a T-shirt. In that spirit, Dawkins offered up his own T-shirt slogan for the ongoing evolution revolution:
Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators."

The 3 Laws of Prediction by Arthur C. Clark
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
