I popped in to see how you all were doing...and I'm saddened. My primary disagreement with Mr. Hayes' method of evangelizing is that it has consisted to this point of focusing on the negative aspects of a non-Christian lifestyle, and relied too heavily on proving others 'wrong' to be 'right'. So, in...

actually...a point of clarification...i didn't say *i* couldn't find the divine under a microscope. i find divinity under a microscope, through a telescope, with my naked little eyes, and even when i'm not looking for it. there it is. everywhere. you can't walk around without stepping on the handiwo...

Actually, I see myself as a stop on the evolutionary path as opposed to a pinnacle of anything. rather than being safe, or arrogant, i find this idea is tremendously humbling and settles upon me a huge responsibility to do right by future generations. just because you consider that to whom i will pr...

evolution
this is how it works...a small mammal, kind of like a mouse, lives in trees. this animal catches bugs and escapes predators by hopping from branch to branch. out of the millions of possibilities for mutations, one is born with extra skin between its sides and its forelegs. that small mammal gets a l...

personally, i turn it around. people ask what the odds are that life would have happened here, in just this way. i say that life could have happened anywhere, and this is the way and the place where it happened. when you think about the monumental number of coincidences that had to occur just for th...

possibly. i will note that earlier this week i made my dad's recipe chili for my gaming group. one of my fellow players arrived, looked at me standing over the mini-chopper in gloves and safety glasses, and said, 'all right! george is making chili!' note: the glasses paid off, as while i was slicing...

um, yeah, unc, about that purple hair...it's begun to float around my head in gravity-defying tendrils. since it was waist-length to start with, i'm having a little trouble with doors. The floating is nice, though, and i've finally stopped speaking in haiku. has anyone seen my lunch? i think it's wa...

i've had a couple of occurrences where single threads disappeared for a while and then were visible again. i'm not sure, but i thought the thread might be back today, and i was a little surprised when it wasn't. it's nothing against you, speedy, i'm sure. probably just a mechanical glitch. we're gla...

this is why i listen to flogging molly. mmm, flogging molly. no american politics. pennywhistle, fiddle, and a punk bass line. irish accents and lots of whiskey. that's what a band needs. there's no music so good as that made by angry happy drunken irishmen, says she who cut her musical teeth on the...

i will say that situations like this are the reason i always go unfamiliar places in pairs. if i go to see a show in a new venue where i'm not likely to have friends, i won't go alone. if i'm going somewhere i'm known, i don't worry so much, because i have friends who will watch out for me and i wat...

uh, hey, andrick...you forgot something. in addition to being vindictive, add 'insecure' and 'paranoid.' she likely got upset because, well, anyone could do her job. i temped for two years, and in all that time i only found two jobs i couldn't step in and do just as well as the person doing it, or b...
