In response to “Faith;” a heavy post.

Whenever I write about faith, God, or religion, it hits a nerve with a lot of people. I enjoy this, and wish more nerves than just religion could be hit so strongly. I recognize that it is difficult to track comments, and this is really very important in my opinion, so I’m taking these comments [...]

Being a stupid human.

“Man, I’ve been playing guitar for like… three hours.”
“What… what are you talking about? This show hasn’t been on for three hours, and you weren’t playing before it.”
“Fine… it started at four… so I’ve been playing for two.”
“Except you weren’t playing for the first hour. I was here. Stop trying to play the martyr.”
“Oh yeah… [...]

That was fast.

Feb 20, 2007 to December 5, 2007 was the span of time it took me to get 1000 hits (see this post). So from December 2007 to about March 20, 2008, I got my next 1000. That’s almost a quarter of the time. Thanks everyone!
Coming up for Monday, I’ve got a doozy of a post. [...]

Yeah, that really happened.

I just thought of a tragically hilarious scenario, which is probably a probable series of events.
If you don’t think the peeing of pants or other accidents of similar nature are funny, stop reading now.
From my observations of myself and others, I have come to the realization (and conclusion) that, through the relaxation of muscles and [...]

A fruition.

One of my most favorite lines from any book is from the “Mallorean” series of books by David Eddings. In it, a cranky, coarse, gnarled old wizard states, “Consistency is the defense of a weak mind.”
I’ve never been able to reason out whether or not this is true, but I like to think it is, [...]

“Where the heck did this come from?”

System log: Routine self-examination reveals previously unknown skin anomaly, located in the mid-vertebral flank region. Closer examination shows anomaly to be a scar, of unknown origin. Experiment to ensure it is indeed a scar, not a temporary mark or welt, commences. Experiment demonstrates permanence; convincing proof that anomaly is indeed a scar.
Scanning memory for origin [...]

Phantastic.

I often think about my life (haha, understatement). One of the things I think about is how my life should be, as in, how the “story” of my life would work out if everything went my way. It’s basically a fairy tale land, and I’m the hero. I save people, I suffer tragedy and bounce [...]

Faith.

I don’t believe in God.
It isn’t really my choice.
Faith is a gut feeling, the same as love and trust. I have no faith in a higher power; that feeling is not there. I have faith in my friends and family, people, and the general order of things, but not in a higher power, and [...]

An inconvenient state.

Story: I’m home, hangin’ around the house doing this and that. I check the fire (still a little chilly out), and it’s struggling. So I walk into the garage and start picking up some of the smaller chunks of wood to get it going again. Most of them are much too long for the application, [...]

A crowd has formed.

Two, actually. First:
Previously, I have endorsed one best friend’s blog, A Conscious Endeavor (this endorsement continues), but now I have the wonderful occasion to endorse the other best friend’s blog.
Behold! McMahon 6th Floor: General Musings on the Life of Tyler Owens!.
“I [have] caved to the pressure.” Heh heh heh.
So patronize this fine young man’s blog.
Second:
I [...]
