Life
Lost in the crowd
Community. It is a pretty powerful word–a pretty powerful idea. I have to admit that it is also somewhat foreign to me. I am ever in contact with the idea because of my study of religion–in fact, one of the “not-definitions” of religion is community. But, when it comes down to [...]
Takin’, takin’, all day long
And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.
Night Watch, Terry Pratchett
I joined a group dedicated to exchanging goods for free.
Here is the basic premise: I have something [...]
You are teh best EVAR…
I like giving gifts.
I do not like giving them on prescribed days.
At least, I do not like giving them on prescribed days for the sheer sake of the day. There is the obvious reason–the gross commercialism. Do I really need to rehash that obvious and tired (though not any less true) argument? [...]
Slumber’s Not So Quiet Embrace
I woke up in the middle of the night tonight for no good reason that I can tell. I was just minding my own business, pleasantly lost in the caress of a dream which I barely got to know, let alone remember, when it dawned on me with a cruel and slowly conscious understanding: [...]
On moving
So I helped a friend move today.
Actually, I really helped a friend of a friend move today because I have only met the person I moved once before and that was last Monday.
Between being a fairly large (6′5″), “oh, he looks like he’d like to carry my solid oak desk by himself” person (of course [...]
Life isn’t always what you see
So, I didn’t shave the whole weekend I played hockey and I decided to play around with growing a full beard in. Mainly I wanted to see how much grey I had.
This is a conversation I was having with my friend
about it:
Me: There’s so much freaking grey in my coming-in beard.
Friend: Better for you. [...]
What’s with the hygiene?
So I have been trolling internet dating sites trying to get an idea of what people “out there” are looking for and how they sell themselves. It has been quite an interesting adventure.
For the most part, it is what I assumed. A lot of people, men and women, have very bland, shallow, and [...]
The most important news is…
Britney’s Teen Sister Jamie Lynn Spears is Pregnant!
Okay. Let’s stop for a second.
Really? This is what is important?
When this “news” broke, it was the headline on most American news outlets. I was literally beat upside the head about it and I try to avoid “entertainment” news as much as I can, but [...]
Me
I wrote this as an exercise in self exploration and have been butchering it to put in different profiles. Enjoy:
Does the turbulence ever upset you?
Life is a bumpy ride and I’m one cantankerous passenger.
I am thinker, leader, ranter, writer, actor. I am not interested in the status quo, I am interested in making things better. [...]
Ahh, the holidays.
How I hate thee. Let me count the ways.
Well, before I do that, let me take a moment to explain. I think it has been a while.
I am not the type of person who gets the typical holiday blues (well, typical for those who get it). Honestly, I couldn’t quite tell [...]
