wellthatsadorable: Baby hippo getting a boost from his mama. I’ve been sent these adorable hippo photos anonymously and I feel like it’s a trick to make me believe hippos are adorable and sweet and not the ill-tempered water-monsters they actually are. And the worst part is, it’s working. You know when you hear about aContinue reading

Response to a Park 51 objector.
One of my Facebook friends recently posted a long post about how Park 51 is not about religion, war, or inequality, but about remembering those who lost their lives on 9/11; and that nothing other than a memorial should be placed anywhere near Ground Zero. She also chose to ‘shame’ the president, the governor, and any other supportersContinue reading “Response to a Park 51 objector.”
Unlikely.
Recently, I read The Unlikely Discipleby Kevin Roose, on a friend’s suggestion. The basic theme behind this book is bridging the God Divide that exists within our American culture. Roose takes leave of absence the ultra liberal Brown University to attend the ultra conservative Liberty University for a semester. His goal from this semester was to not only humanizeContinue reading “Unlikely.”
Religious control.
I think freedom of religion is a wonderful thing, no matter what boat that puts you in. If you are going to hate a religion for it’s most extreme representatives, then hate Christians for the Holocaust (…or the Crusades, or slavery…) This situation affecting our generation or time allows us the rare opportunity to takeContinue reading “Religious control.”

Words, but no subject.
I don’t use this blog for any other reason that to get out what I need to get out, it serves no cohesive purpose. I use it to work out issues and express my opinion on things that would get me stoned if I put them on facebook. I feel as though I have writer’sContinue reading “Words, but no subject.”
It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream—making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams. No, it is impossible; it is impossibleContinue reading
Actually something I said today:
Give the kid a break. So what if he wants Mac and Cheese at his wedding? He’s been in Afghanistan for the past year fighting a war that started when he was 10.
The New Yorker: Wikileaks and the War
Amy Davidson on Wikileaks and the War: “…a leak informing us that our tax dollars may be being used as seed money for a protection racket associated with a narcotics-trafficking enterprise is a good leak to have. And the checkpoint incident is, again, only one report, from one day… … One… The New Yorker: WikileaksContinue reading “The New Yorker: Wikileaks and the War”
Did I really do that?
There are things that I reflect on in my life that I really have to question the validity of such events. Things that are so out of my character that I am almost convinced I dreamt it up in a vivid, emotion-charged dream that has left the feeling of phantom success. Success that I don’t quite own,Continue reading “Did I really do that?”
