A RETURN TO BLOGGING?

Maybe? Possibly? I could write the “catch up” blog, but honestly? So much has happened over that last four months just thinking about it would take more time than to actually right something new here.

HULLO AGAIN

I wake this morning to Tiia’s effort to thwart my breathing as she pinches my nose. Harp is not well, and sleeps in Tiia’s room. Taaj is still in dreamland on the other side of the bed.

A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER

I start the day getting up at 5:00 in the morning. Getting back into a routine after being out of it for four months. Now is as good a time as any. The Little Man has been asking for me to sleep with him. So, I did. I reach over him to turn the alarm on the clock off.

TSOOL > OASIS

Let me explain that title a little more, for those that may not be so web talk-chat, savvy. It means unequivocally, in its simplest form, that The Soundtrack of Our Lives are a better band than Oasis. That is not an opinion, if you know me, you know I’m bags full of Oasis stock. Well, I’m selling it now … and buying TSOOL. It’s not an opinion, its fact.

THINKING

  • Spending will make you happier, but not in the way you think. Interesting read over at Secular Philosophy.

  • When flying 35,000 feet above land, I stare down at the natural landscape and marvel at it ... and every time I fly over a city, town, etc. ... I can’t help but to think ... so this is what cancer looks like.

    I know, it’s harsh, but have a look, cities and towns just don’t blend very well with the natural landscape.

  • According to this read over at Dailytech, the XBOX360 has a 33% failure rate! Like what?? Like how much? Like one in every three units will have hardware failure! I love my box ... and I’m touching wood it stays in with the other 66%.

  • Old news for some of you out there, but “Demon Days” by Gorillaz ... not bad eh? Not bad at all. Nice tunes on that list.

  • Yes it’s true .. i know Gorn and I also know ShoeGirl. Personally, I think he could have gone a lot more than 30 days.

  • A 16 year old girl proclaimed she is an atheist. The reporter asked her why and she promptly replied, “I was born that way.”

    Interesting ... she’s right, you know.

CURRENTLY

  • Kingdom of Heaven

    Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.

  • The God Delusion : Richard Dawkins

    Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.

  • Hopes and Fears : Keane

    "Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.

  • Gears Of War

    As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
