a sorrowful refrain

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

As I sit and listen to the quiet piano refrain, and stare at the taupe wall in front of me, I can’t help but wonder if I’m ever going to earn my stripes. Will I continue to be lazy? Will I continue to ignore needs that I see pressing around me for my own selfish [...]

i’m still alive

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I haven’t had time to do any good blogging lately, sorry. I spent most of my time today with my knees wrapped around an engine that has the ability to lean. Let me just say, I stinkin’ love riding the bike. I went for the first real ride yesterday, down to the movie theater, then [...]

batton down the hatches!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Starting today, Monday the 19th, there will be a change of pace in US politics. Probably not a big one, but certainly one that we are not use to here. The United Nations will be sending an independent inspector to decide if there is racism within the US system. Why now? Because Obama is mathematically [...]

futures

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Where am I headed? If you had asked me a few years ago where I wanted to end up, I probably would have responded with something like a restaurant owner, police officer, or world famous musician. How funny are the changes with time? Two of those things would have involved large amounts of wealth for [...]

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Ok, apologies to all of my readers who are already postmodernists (pomos), this post isn’t for you. No, this post is instead for those who know me (in person), but don’t quite know what I stand for anymore, and have likely heard some negative opinions on my viewpoints. Ok, so what do I stand for? [...]

That’s right, Bob Barr has thrown his hat in the political ring (again) under the banner of the libertarian party, giving me momentary pause in my push to vote Obama. Yeah, that’s right, I said I (have) thought about casting a vote for Barr this November. Now, before you start screaming that the sky is [...]

Why go to church?

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Third Watch has got an interesting post going on asking his readers if (and why) we/you/they/all should go to church. For my part, it’s still a question I’m working through. I’ve stated before my idea of what church should be and what church is are different, and I’m not a huge fan of mainline churches [...]

a week?!

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Wow, it’s been a whole week. I haven’t gone this long in updating… ever (in the whole history of my blog… since January ☺), but I kind of needed a break, and my life got a little hectic after Thursday. In case you weren’t paying attention to the twitter feed, we brought home a new [...]

thoughts on challenges

Monday, May 5th, 2008

What do we think about challenges? Do we try to stop challenges from coming, or do we embrace them and take them head on?
