Randomness

First of all, this is nuts. Nuts and awesome. Awesome because I can't wait until there is no more pain and suffering in the world so I can experience the world in the way God intended it to be. I can't even imagine how amazing that must feel but the possibility of death or serious injury keeps me from doing all the psychotic things I would love to do. I can't even imagine what it will be like when the kingdom comes and the will is done but one of the first things I do will be to gather a group of people that I've known and loved and go zooming around in a wingsuit.

Secondly, Linkin Park's "new" album is amazing. It still remains the last CD I actually purchased (granted it was for someone else, but I paid for it) and every time I listen to it I cannot help but be grateful for music. I'm a Republican, but if you read my Ron Paul article, you will find that I'm not the biggest fan of Bush. Not that he's a moron or a horrible person or whatever, he's just a man who made a mistake and is too stubborn to admit it. I'm not sure about Linkin Park's stance on Christianity, but they seem to be heading in the right direction. Anyone who says "..let mercy come and wash away what I’ve done" has at least an academic understaning of grace. I don't care if it's person to person grace or person to Christ grace, to be in a place where you can understand the concept of grace and mercy cleansing mistakes is a good place to be. A lot of Christians don't even get that.

Next, South Park is just plain genius. I remember trying to watch it with my parents on Comedy Central when I was in 8th grade and failing miserably at convincing them how awesome it was. This episode was hillarious and true as was this. Some episodes are definitely not good, crass, and rude, but some are pure genius. This is one of my favorites of all time.

Finally, work is going fairly well. I recently moved up in the world and am no longer the low man on the totem pole. Now I'm the second lowest. My project is over and I'm working on studying for my certification and just finished development on a project in Silverlight. Fun times.

I'm playing World of Warcraft a lot now a days. It's killing the dead time between the World Series and Opening Day. I don't know how commited I will be once the season starts, but for now, I'm having a lot of fun.
