The Star Spangled Banner……………..

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

There seems to be a lot of confusion lately just what our national anthem is. This song was written 194 years ago. I’m not really sure what copyright rules were in effect back then but you know, I’m thinking they should pretty much be the same as they are now. This song was written in …

A Definition of Faith

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Just finished reading "The Da Vinci Code", and it’s very much as enigmatic as I knew it would be.Really took to this line about faith:"Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith — acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove."

Well I have done that terrible thing that is a sure sign of finally being a full adult. I bougt a new car. Ok technically it’s an old SUV, a 2001 RAV4 to be exact, but it cost enough to be a new small car. Also, it’s the first vehicle I’ve ever financed. I was …
