- So about music.....
I am more and more coming to the conclusion that the idea that only our hymns are pleasing as worship to God is false. I don't think it is necessarily harmful, to some extent, as erring on the side of caution is often good, especially in terms of raising a family. However, in the broader spectrum of debate, the argument is not winnable if taking such an extreme position.
These thoughts occurred to me while watching Glory. In one of the later scenes, the all black Ma. 54th regiment is having a prayer/worship circle before the final battle. The music is not what we would be comfortable singing in our churches, but I cannot believe that such a prayer/worship service would be unpleasing to our God, if it were real, of course, and not actors.
- Saw the Quentin Tarantino movie. Liked it. Most of it, anyway. Very gruesome, some parts. Some parts dragged on. But the ending was terrific.

Seeing Hitler get his face shot up by a machine gun is somewhat therapeutic.

- I had three days off in a row. AWESOME-SAUCE!!!
- Joe Wilson for President!
Okay, so there's an uproar over the way he did it. I think it's about time a Republican did it. If this were a TV show, he would have been set up for it by Republican leadership. Junior senator, popular, throws a punch that everyone wants to throw, but can't, and then gets "rebuked" by the leadership (who are really giving him atta-boys). This was on West Wing once.
The media is falling over themselves to praise Obama again, but I think Wilson helped us. I only hope Sharpton gets involved. Call Wilson a racist or something.
- NFL is BACK!!!! Woot! AND....... Chris Colinsworth is taking over for Madden! I'm not sure if we'll be able to handle lucid commentary with our Monday Night Football. It'd be like reintroducing Mighty Joe to the wild. As if the first thing Joe did wasn't to fall over a waterfall or something while prancing wildly through the jungle. "Be free, Joe! Oh, and try not to get malaria. Buh-bye!" Honestly, something that big is going to be putting down a lot of herbs with no built-up immunization. Way to go, Theron. And Guy-From-Twister.
- Every few months or so I go hankering for a new PC game. It isn't pretty. It's like when Chewie grabs the thing and they all get stuck in the net, only the payoff for me is never a legion of archer teddy bears. It's usually something that freezes my PC and causes seizures in small children.
- I hated CMU. It's been awhile since I've said that. But it's till true. But Mike, you say, hatred is not healthy! To which I reply, DIE, CMU, DIEEEE!!!!
Okay, not really. But I didn't like it there.
