You are KNOWN. God knew who you were before you were born. He created you- your looks, your personality, your talents. and He delights in these. Not a detail was overlooked when forming you. You were not a mistake or an accident or a product of the cosmos banging into each other. You were intricately designed by the designer of life. He knows the number of hair on your head and He knows every minute you have spent in laughter and He knows every tear you have cried. He also knows the not so pretty parts, the bad thoughts that have run across your mind, the ways you have been hurt and the ways you have hurt others. but this is not a dead end. there is so much more to your story.

You are LOVED. God knows who you are more than anyone ever could and He loves you. He loves you no matter what your race is, your sexual orientation, your gender, where you are from, where you are going. He wants you to have a relationship with Him and He wants you to know Him. He sees your life and it brings Him joy because He loves who you are and He loves who He created you to be. He has a plan for your life and He wants to see you go down the path He made for you so you can live out your purpose. Meanwhile there is a darker force. Satan tries to mislead you away from God. If there are things in your life that you know aren’t of God, then these things are separating you from Him and keeping you from knowing Him and from living out your purpose. God wants you to have a relationship with Him and He wants you to know how much He loves you.

There are too many people out there who think they are unknown and can’t really be loved. this is the truth- you are known and you are loved. God sent his son Jesus to earth to die in payment for the sins that separate us from Him so that we can know Him through faith in this.

You dont have to believe this to be in this group. If you want to talk about it let me know! the reality is that this world is cold in so many ways and you are going to have to fight sometimes to keep going and sometimes you will feel so alone and it is my prayer that in those times you will remember that you are known and that you are loved.

Traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles takes at least 6 hours (without traffic) of being stuck behind the wheel. If you have the foresight to book a flight in advance, flying takes about an hour (if the flight isn’t delayed), plus arriving an hour and a half early to an airport in the middle of nowhere so you can be treated like sheep as you’re herded through security. By the time you’ve arrived in LA its been almost three hours, and you’re still not at your destination!

High speed rail just makes sense. California’s population is predicted to grow to over 50 million in the next 15 years, and our airports and highways will continue to become more and more crowded. High speed rail would unite California, just as it has united Western Europe and Japan.

In addition, high speed rail has been predicted to:

* create 450,000 jobs throughout the state
* result in 10,000 fewer auto accidents every year
* reduce carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to removing 1.4 million cars from the road
* generate enough revenue to pay for its construction cost in the long run
* reduce CO2 emissions by up to 17.6 billion pounds/year.
* Reduce California’s oil consumption by up to 22 million barrels/year
* result in denser development, limiting sprawl
* be less than half the cost of expanding freeways and airports to meet future intercity travel demand.

This group is for people who don’t have the time to cleanup highways once a week or save endangered animals from the toxic hazards of bio-magnification…
However, this group is for people who are tired feel like there is nothing they can do to make a difference to improve our environment. This group is for people who are simply fed up with watching our environment fall apart in front of eyes. This group is for people who are ready and willing to make a stand.
But what kind of a stand you ask?
Nothing on a huge scale that requires sitting in trees for weeks on end to save a few acres from being bulldozed (not that I don’t support those efforts, this just isn’t that kind of group).
What this group promotes is simply stating a straightforward phrase and performing a simple action when someone throws a cigarette butt on the ground, leaves trash behind in a public park, or when they neglect to pick up their waste after ‘missing a three point shot,” etc.
The phrase and the action are simple, but it has a tremendous effect waking the perpetrator out of their pre-global-warming-narcosi

s and transports them into the 21st century.
So with no further ado, here it is…
While simultaneously holding the discarded item at an identifiable distance (don’t put it in their face) announce nicely (don’t be a jerk it will have the opposite effect)
“Excuse me You Dropped This”
That’s it. That is all it takes.
If all goes well they will realize what they just did was wrong, and that HELL YES people do care about the planet. I’m not saying it will work 100% of the time, but more often then not it has an overwhelming effect on the individual and they usually apologize for the offence. And trust me, you will truly feel like you did something to help the environment, especially because you have.
So please pass a group invite to all the people you know because we all share one thing in common… EARTH. We only have one Earth so we have to take care of it now.
Please help.
Please be kind to those who know not what they do is wrong.
Please teach others how to recycle.
Please take notice when you walk around… count the cigarette butts… Scary Hugh?
Please Try.
You won’t be able to change everyone, but you can change one or two who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two…

We all know California is better than any other state. Period. So what the fuck are we doing going to school anywhere else? This group is for all of us who have found ourselves:

- Saying, “Wow! It’s not that cold outside today. It’s actually 33 degrees!”

- Pining for some good Mexican food.

- Wishing we could go to the beach.

- Telling everyone we meet we’re from California and expecting them to just know automatically that we’re better.

- Fighting with someone from another state about whose state is better. (Um, hello? CALIFORNIA!!!)

- Wincing whenever we say we’re from California and are answered with, “Oh, you’re from Cali?” (It’s NOT Cali!!! No one at home says it! STOP IT!!!)

- Getting looked at funny for saying say “like” and “for sure” and “right on” and “dude” and “totally” and “peace out” and “chill” and “tight” and “bro” and “hell of” and “hella”(Nor Cal only) and “faded” and “stoked” and “fo sho.”

- Getting weird looks from locals when it snows and we’re excited about it.

- Getting weird looks from locals when it snows and we actually want to go outside and play in it.

- Getting yelled at by friends for wearing sandals when it’s 20 degrees outside.

- Wincing whenever someone says they’re “going down the shore.” (It’s the BEACH goddamnit!!!)

- Getting laughed at for having the Terminator as our governor.

- Wondering why no one is leaving early if it’s raining.

- Wondering why others aren’t freaked out that it’s raining.

- Buying our first umbrellas.

- Being asked, “Oh, don’t you guys have good weed, or something?” (Of course!!!)

- Being called a hippie for telling all these up-tight people to “chill.”

- Suddenly it seems that all of your friends are using the word “chill.” (Cause our slang is better and they know it!)

- Being shocked that people actually use public transportation and that some people don’t even have their licenses. (How DO people live without cars?)

- Pining for some good In-N-Out.

- Missing Jack-in-the-Box.

- Buying our first winter coats.

- Wondering what scarf and glove etiquette is. (When are you supposed to put them on and when do you take them off? How exactly are you supposed to wear a scarf? I still can’t figure this shit out!)

- Wishing every movie and song wasn’t about California cause it’s only making us more homesick.

- Finding that suddenly our favorite song is “California Love.” (California knows how to party…)

- Watching the OC and having friends ask you if that is what its really like in California, and saying YES.

Pick-up lines relating to everything math/science

You know why we should let time approach infinity? Because d = v * t, and I want to go all the way with you.

Is the room shrinking? Because you’re getting hotter by the second!

Looking at you made my jaw go from V(0) to V(terminal) in miliseconds.

Hey babe, I was going to measure the spring constant of my bed tonight and I could, you know, use an assistant. If you know what I mean. (We could make some forced oscillations.)

Are you cos^2(x)? Because I’m sin^2(x) and together we are one.

Baby, we must be a sine wave, because we’re always oscillating.

I wish I could be your derivative so I could be tangent to your curves.

My attraction to you is an inversed square law.

Could I get your signifigant digits?

You’ve got my mind going in circular motion!

Nice blouse. But it would look even better accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 toward my bedroom floor.

You and me, that’s grand unification right there.

Wow you’re pretty. You must be a Mac!

We’re moving pretty fast, this situation has some momentum!

Are you the square root of 2? Because my love for you is irrational!

Hey babe. What’s your resonance frequency?

I think we’re on the same wavelength, so who cares if we’re going a little fast, as long as it’s constructive.

Just looking at you turns my software into hardware.

Heisenberg was wrong. I know exactly where you’ll be tonight. *stalkerish*

I’ve got so much pent-up potential energy. Wanna help me convert it into… kinetic energy?

It’s so hot in here. Is it global warming, or is it you?

You’re so hot you make my unit vector go from j to k and dilate all the way.

Love is a matter of Chemistry,
Sex is a matter of Physics.

If our love was of the form a + bi, b would be zero ’cause we keep it real.

Wow…you’re a strong nucleophile and I love your back-side attack..

I wish I were Adenine so I could be paired with U.

If i was an endoplasmic reticulum, how would you want me: smooth or rough?

You know.. it’s not the length of the vector that counts… it’s how you apply the force.

You compute me.

By visually measuring the wrinkles in the front of your pants, calculating your body mass based on your height and weight, and dividing that number by your waist size — I conclude that you have absolutely nothing in your pocket and are, in fact, glad to see me.

Do you think we can make it a step more serious and disable network sharing?

Baby, you are as mysterious as the random reboot problems I’m having with my Linux server!

Would you like to share my bandwidth? I have a really fat pipeline.

I 1-sin(theta) you.

If you and I were the ideal gas law equation (PV = nRT), how would my pressure and volume affect your temperature?

Put your golgi body next to mine!

I wish we were vectors so I could put my head to your tail.

Your love is sweeter than 3.141592656…

Your chest is just like crystal: a rigid, geometrical structure.

You must be gravity, baby, because you’re the only thing keeping me here.

I must be trippin’ because only acid rain could show me a hallucination as gorgeous as you.

Are your pants being entropically unfavorable, or are you just happy to see me?

Hey baby, what’s your activation energy? ’cause I bet I could catalyse my way across those curves

Forget Microsoft, I’m Macrohard.

How many concurrent users can you handle?

I wish I were the derivative of your natural logarithm so I could be the one over U.

If I were an enzyme, I’d be DNA integrase so I could put myself in your genes!

If *I* were making the periodic table of elements, I’d put Uranium and Iodine together.

Are the stars out tonight? ‘Cause you have one heavenly body.

I wanna react to completion with you.

I’d like to look at you through a telescope so I can check out your celestial body.

Baby, I know my chemistry, and you’ve got one significant figure.

I wish I could be the Patriot Act so I could violate your privacy.

Let me equal awesome, and you equal awesome. Then if you go into me, we become one!

I’m so emo, because I know I’ll never get to touch your asymptote.

You’re so cool, I’ve got to measure you in Kelvin.

If I were a neurotransmitter, I would be dopamine so I could activate your reward pathway.

Hey baby, SN1 or SN2 attack? If he knows his organic chemistry, then he’ll choose SN2 and release his electrons from the backside.

Hey baby, you and I should form a carbon-carbon double bond so I can oxidate your cleavage.

If you were a sterically hindered substrate, I wouldn’t mind, I want to be closer to you.
