Jason Mraz - 1000 Thingswords & music by jason mrazI'm overjoyed and over loved and feeling lucky like a little boy who's hiding under coversand looking to discover any way to play the part inside his darkened cavewell the meaning of life it starts at the nightlightclose your eyes and hope to see minewell I've seen a thousand things in one placebut I stopped my counting when I saw your faceerasing memory I feel as though I've never seen a face before until I saw your eyes smiling back at...

There's a guy, richard thompson, on NPR today who has made a cd of songs from the last 1000 years. On the program, he sings quite a few of them and it's really great. He starts off with one of the first rounds from 1000 a.d. and then works his way into jazz, folk, and even Britney Spears' "oops, i did it again". It'll make you laugh, but he really pulls it off really well. You wouldn't completely hate the song if you heard this guy sing it! Everyone should...

I need to apologize to James Muhhamed, the Washington DC shooter. I thought we were talking about my God, you know, the real God. But now that I know you're Muslim, I realize I was mistaken; thinking we were talking about God, not your god. Sorry!...

This little "sniper" fellow up in Washington is really starting to annoy me. Sure the killing is horrible and he's a despicable man, but I really think he's giving God a bad rap. He claims that "I am God" to police and the media, but someone please explain to me how this man is God? First off, God is love. This little sniper fellow is not. Secondly, God isn't a sissy. This little sniper fellow is. Thirdly, God doesn't randomly kill the innocent. This little sniper fellow does. Fourthly, when...

I missed ED again last night due to being at work. I had forgotten to set the VCR so I was pretty much out of luck. I started thinking about how much I love ED and how mad I was that I didn't record it that I got all spontaneous and went out and picked up a new Tivo Series 2 DVR. It's excellent and it was on sale. I bought it at Best Buy though, so I'm a little mad at myself. Some of you may know that I...

Jonah: A VeggieTales MovieKids today need moral instruction, and who better to provide it than a bunch of computer-animated vegetables? That's the big idea behind the Big Idea production company, which for almost a decade has created Christian kiddie fare like Where's God When I'm S-Scared? and Esther: The Girl Who Became Queen for the video market using songs, stories, scriptures, and talking tomatoes, to great niche-market success. Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie is the franchise's first foray into the theaters, and it re-tells the story of Jonah with a twee,...

When the plane takes off, it's always kind of anticlimactic for me. I mean, I want a long scarf around my neck, aviator's goggles and the wind in my hair. I want to hear the sound of machine gun fire ripping into the wing, flak blanketing the sky, and bombs dropping. It's like the question they always ask you at the gate: "Would you like a window seat or one on the aisle sir?" That's a stupid question with me because I don't want to sit either place. "Ball turret...

There are some industries in America that are part of the framework of life. Some of these industries just shouldn't go on strike, it's bad for everyone. What would happen if the doctors in Texas decided to strike this weekend? Who would save lives and keep people from dying? No one! The same is true about the shipping industry in a business sense. Sure it's not life and death to humanity, but it's pretty much life and death to a lot of industries. That's why this is such a bad...

I usually like to take a stand against "the man" when it comes to unions and lockouts and the such. However, this work stoppage on the west coast docks really irks me. The whole issue stems around technology. Sure there are other issues like pensions and pay and the such, but what major union doesn't always have those so-called problems. I've read that the real problem is that the long-shoreman (which is a stupid name) are being resistant to technology to the point of stopping work. The operators of the...
