GMAIL = AWESOME!

Comments off

So, other than not getting my exact screen name I wanted gmail is cool. That means it is time to start forwarding other emails to gmail. Anyway, my new possible email is bigcat1 at gmail.com. Now, that makes like 18 email address I have, and about 5 I check. Which is just too many. I’m [...]

Spiderman 2

No comments

OK, so I talked with Dirk a little about the house being available for partyage, and he nixed that because Chris doesn’t want to have a fun night for their small group this week. But this is OK, cuz Dirk figured he would grill before his small group which is good because than I will [...]

Weddings and Stuff

No comments

Well I went to a wedding today and it was really great. Congrats to Rachael and David, they are freaking awesome together, and I wish nothing but the best for their post wedding relationship….aka marriage. Their wedding was awesome, I think that Wesley is a pretty darned good place to have a wedding. The jury [...]

Spiderman Viewing

No comments

We are planning on getting a group together to see Spiderman 2 next Thursday (one week from today), so be thinking about if you are interested in coming with us or not. We might or might not plan other event preceding this viewing, but we won’t know if that is certain until tomorrow due to [...]

Some things of note

No comments

Some things of note 1. School still sucks. Learning is great, and will always be great, but the institutions of learning built up around themselves like this giant monument to our intellectual egos called a university have always, and will always suck. They are soul sucking entities designed to rip your very will to live [...]

Research Suxor

No comments

Research papers suck, much much more than philosophy papers. They are a terrible terrible thing, and they remind me why I don’t want to go to grad school, even if someone would take me. This paper isn’t nearly as bad as some of the grad school stuff I’ve seen, in fact it is a lot [...]

My Eye Hurts

No comments

I don’t know what is causing it, but my right eye feels strained all the time. Also I’ve been sleeping a lot and still being very tired during the day. I hope I’m not getting sick. This sorta sucks because I need to write this report for my independent study class, but I’m really tired [...]

Another great night was just had by all. A last hurrah for the summer before summer school starts. I spent a wonderful evening with my lovely and wonderful fiance, then I had her drop me off at legends for mug night with the guys. Much beer was consumed, a good time was had by all [...]

Well, this is interesting. It appears the Canadians have gone the way of the US Anglicans and have affirmed the “integrity and sanctity” of same sex unions. You can expect the Anglican church to split in the next year. The international body of the church asked all the smaller bodies not to take action on [...]

I’m currently reading a church history book called Church History in Plain Language by Bruce Shelley and I found an interesting trend. It always seems that the revolutions within Christianity almost always start with a really smart, Godly man preaching to poor, lower class people. A lot of the followers of Luther were these kinds [...]

Quick update

I went home this weekend. That was pretty nice. Tried to get Aaron’s computer working again, it won’t talk to his guitar POD (Basically a fancy DSP), which he really wants it to do, I got it working nicer than before. It just doesn’t want to talk to the POD, nor does my laptop. So [...]
