"She's totally sweet"

says Danny.
Danny works with this chic over at the Boot Box. She wears tight jeans and cowboy boots. Likes to fish. Smokes Marb Reds. The real country type. Just sounds like Danny (minus his balls).

Rain Bath

So anyway... I've come to the conclusion that's it's dangerous to think and shower at the same time. Before your little imagination runs away... ...we watched Good Will Hunting this evening. I had never seen the movie before and I'm glad that I really didn't know what it was about. I guess that's what makes some movies great and some not. Movies like the 6th Sense... you say 5 words and that ruins the movie... But you can read an essay on Good Will Hunting and still have a great movie waiting.
Back to Dangerous showers... ...I was thinking why it was such a great movie. It's about death, about dying. About things dying, people dying, killing apart of yourself... and moving on. And it's about, "Throwing down your money and seeing what hand you're dealt." Of course, this works out fine and dandy in the movie and I know, even in my limited, sheltered experience, that it can't turn out so neatly. But some times we're so scared. We're so frightened of what might not come our way, that we miss out on all that does.
More frightening... to be constantly reminded, through sight, voice, and smell, of what was once there. It's so hard to move on. Maybe a part of you never does.

Praise the Lord for Psalm 139.

Now... fo real back to showers. I was thinking about all this and I forgot where I was in the bathing process... and that confused the heck out of me. So maybe I took two showers, maybe only one. Either way, at least Herb and the toll-booth lady won't have any funkiness to complain about.

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. I'm home for the week.

A web site to keep you entertained... maybe you'll find something you'll recognize. All i can say is, I hope I have as much time on my hands as this guy some day.

Today in chapel...

"Father, we love you
we worship and adore you,
glorify thy name in all the earth.
Glorify...
Jesus, we love you
Spirit, we love you"

I'm sure you know the song that I'm talking about here. I really like this song due mostly to the fact that it's simple and easy and was, therefore, sung all the time in elementary school chapel. Now for the question, how are we supposed to worship and adore the Spirit? Worshiping the Father and Son is relatively easy to understand. The Father is a father. We worship Him as one honors or venerates an earthly father (and this is no dead beat dad we're talking about). The Son has saved us. What a nice guy. He died, and through his resurrection, we too will rise again. Who wouldn't want to worship and adore a dude like that? But what about that Spirit? Do we really ever stop and worship the Spirit? What about those fainting, pot-luck, black ladies in the South? Do they say, "OOhhh! Thank you Spirit!! Praise THAT name!! ..." ? Not to the best of my knowledge. Maybe we should. Think about it.

Well, I liked song number one. Song number two got on my nerves. I think we said, "every good and perfect gift comes from you," like eightteen hundred times. Which is ok, because it's true. Then something else kicks in and asks, "Ok. What about all the other gifts? the ones that suck?" Don't they come from our "Father of lights" too? Let's thank God for them too.

Furthermore... thank you Clowns for Christ. I went in there with no expectations, i mean, cmon, it's Grove City. We're pretty boring. But even with a bunch of nerds on stage, it was a good time. I also learned that black clown people can still dance better than normal white people. What's happening?

Dr. Tilford goes gay

Today we had some good "Fathers and Sons" talk in Russian History class with Dr. Tilford. Dr. Tilford said, "Mom! Dad! It's the 60's, not the 40's. Now my kids say, 'Mom! Dad! It's the '90's, not the '60's.' And I'm sure that your kids will say 'Dad! Dad!' or 'Mom! Mom! It's the '30's.'"
Yea for stupid gay people and their gay friends. These people should be happy with the rights they have.

Some news

Call me cold and heartless but I think all this new World Trade Center stuff is pretty silly. I can understand the difficulty of choosing a design for the new building, for its practicality and honoring those who died. But what's all this "jury" and getting approval from the families of those who died crap. I don't understand how they think they have the right to dictate what someone else does with their property. It's silly.

In other news, Michael Jackson has made the front page over Bush's visit to England. I don't want to hear about Jackson's addiction to small children, thank you very much.
Rush Limbaugh is back on the air after five weeks in rehab. Too bad I cannot listen to him here.

Some good links

I thought this was a very good article until the last few paragraphs where we have to bash Bush and his environmental policies. Such is life.

Once again, the creativity of GCC students astounds me. What am I doing here learning about history??

Thanks to my friend (and yours) Global Warming, it might be time to invest in my Spanish vinyard. What do you think? (I'll let you in on it too Megan)

Greetings. This is my first "blog." I was first introduced to them through World magazine. Now I see that quite a few of my friends here at Grove City have them. I got jealous and I figured that I do the some of the same things on my IM profile as I do here. So now I have an other excuse to sit in front of the computer for hours on end.
