Minneapolis Churches

No comments

Yesterday I met with Jeff and I talked a little about what churches we would probably go to on Sundays until we started our own service. So between that and thinking about what it is going to be like to move into an area that has a decent amount of churches, I figured I’d look [...]

Some Things from the Weekend

3 comments

There were some interesting things that happened this weekend, and I thought I would detail a few of them. First off, the Illini lost…that sucked. Something was said to me during the game that I think is really wrong…like not bad opinion wrong, factually wrong and provable, but based just enough on perceptions to be [...]

Insomnia

2 comments

Insomnia Sucks! Why can’t I just fall asleep….I hate this feeling. I wish this over-active mind of mine could rest, but the thoughts swirling in my brain make me feel like my head is sprinting laps around a mental track of frustration. I asked God for peace so that I might rest…I’ve received none, I [...]

Saw the Passion

No comments

So I saw it, and all I can say is wow. It was funny, because James called me right after he saw it on opening day and I asked him if it was a good movie. And he responded with “that isn’t the right question to ask,” and I was sorta annoyed with that because [...]

Tech TV stuff

Comments off

Check this out if you are even remotely interested in Tech TV. I especially like the part where it says that Leo Laporte is going to bail on hosting the Screen Savers. I hate that guy, he always tells people stuff that isn’t completely true, pushes his lame Mac stuff, and says retarded crap. I [...]

Homework over Break

No comments

Why is it that all the professors think they can double the homework they assign due right after break. Such a load crap. Usually they assign 4 or 5 problems tops for a week of homework, but for some reason they all have at least 7 this week. I don’t get it….what do these guys [...]

Thoughts for the Day.

So, last night I went to Legends…had a few mugs with the boys, haven’t done that since last summer…felt good to be out again. Good times. Hit Labambas on the way home….super nachos…mmmmm. But the events leading up to this night out were what interests me particularly, and are the subjects of what I’ve been [...]

So Scott got fired today….crazy people who hire a guy and fire him a day later. Oh well. Anyway, Scott does not have a Bachelors degree, he has enough credits for a minor in art….but he would have to have a major in something else for that. He can use a variety of programs related [...]

I was looking at snowboards and skiing areas the past couple of days. There is a place that is 5 miles away from the Mall of America. How sweet is that. That makes it 20 to 30 minutes tops from some of the places were are looking at living. Looking at equipment, I definitely am [...]

More phone goodies

2 comments

If this phone had a compass it would be perfect. But as it stands if I can get that thing for a good price it might be right up my ally with all the features it has, as well as it fits my personal style….sorta looks like an updated version of my current phone in [...]

This week

3 comments

Well, here I am, sitting at a computer at the Electronics Shop (where I work) in Everitt Labs. I just printed a paper to turn in about half an hour, the paper sorta sucked, and it was supposed to be a rewrite, but it turned more into a small revision. I sorta realized I was [...]

So, not only did I have a fairly productive weekend…and I bought a pie for a belated b-day present for my brother, I also just purchased the last box set of the Generation 1 Transformers, which completes my video collection. If you order it from Deep Discount DVD you can get it for 31.something shipped….which [...]

A Little more on Minneapolis

5 comments

I found an LJ community for Minneapolis, it is called twin_cities and I joined it so I can see what is going on up there. Also, I’m looking for more places to snowboard when I’m there. It looks like there are a few places with in an hour or so, and they have season passes [...]
