A day of historical significance
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009Today five bajilliion people are gathered in Washington at the National Mall to witness history.
I think I know three personally who went. They’ll tell their children and their children’s children “I was there” in years to come. And that will make them feel significant and special. But what they don’t [...]
I don’t get sports
Sunday, January 18th, 2009I don’t get sports. I know this reflects poorly on me as an American male. But I just don’t.
I’ve tried. I really have. One time in high school I watched a whole college basketball game on my own. I didn’t care who won. I don’t remember who did. [...]
encouraging
Sunday, January 18th, 2009I’m not good at encouraging people.
At least, I don’t think I am. If encouraging is making people feel encouraged then I’m not good at it. I never have been.
Or maybe my definition of encouragement is wrong. Maybe it’s not making people feel a certain way, but helping push them on [...]
Coloring Steps
Monday, January 12th, 2009I did a simple coloring tutorial. Here’s the animation of the steps I did. Whee!
more power to him…
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Seriously?
examining my blog
Friday, January 9th, 2009Next month will be the 5th anniversary of this blog.
Five years people. Over the last year or so I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what I’m doing here. Am I here just to use this as a public diary? Is this just where I write about my day? What is [...]
Then I realized what I think of when I hear the phrase…
Friday, January 9th, 2009I’m taking a class in Biblical exegesis every Monday night. This week someone mentioned praying for personal things as well as praying in a way that bring glory to God.
And it suddenly occurred to me that the phrase “bringing glory to God” has, for me, very little it refers to outside [...]
too much caffiene
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Here’s a sketch
That’s about all I’ve got in me today since I’m so jittery this morning.
I came, I saw, I foraged.
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009In the grocery store tonight I was waxing grateful for not having to go out and forage like my gruffer, more stalwart ancestors.
Then I realized that most of my time there was spent hunting for items…and that I have no idea where things are in a grocery store.
So, be proud my lineage. Your [...]
I’m finally Lost…
Sunday, January 4th, 2009I know, I’m the last person on earth who hasn’t seen Lost. Or I was, until tonight. Congratulations JJ Abrams, you have assimilated us all.
I knew I’d like it from what I’ve been hearing for years, but kept putting it off because I knew that would be time I would have [...]
Brian 1 Morning 0
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009This morning came early, like most mornings do I suppose. But I was up before the sun had thawed my truck. If staying up late means you conquered the night, then I surely beat the snot out of this morning.
This was not without a price. I feel like a lead weight. [...]
a healthy dose of doubt to start the year.
Friday, January 2nd, 2009I’m leading a class at church. Today while working I suddenly started feeling very inadequate in doing so. Exactly what qualifies me to do so? I like to think ideas stand or fall based on their merit and not necessarily who presents them. This is what I tell myself anyway.
After [...]
Examining 2008
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Ah, 2008. Come and gone, passed into the annals of history. Rung in no differently than any other, except my neighbor’s party guests (5 cars worth) are still there at 9 this morning. I can only envision all these people lying is various undignified positions throughout the house.
But enough about the new [...]
