first I'd like to thank emily for ruining the rest of the story in the comments section of my last post. however, she didn't tell it right and she doesn't know the ultimate outcome. so without further ado, the rest of the story:After the strange guy who's out ringing doorbells late at night moves down a few more houses, i decide to check it out. I walk outside and watch him walking from house to house. One thing you need to know is that I live on a street with...

Let me set the stage...It's almost midnight and Emily and I were watching some SpongeBob Squarepants. It's getting late, and I'm starting to zone out and I've got my new glasses on (they rule!). SpongeBob is almost over when the doorbell rings. Who is it? Why are they here so late? What do they want? These were all questions that went through my head in the seconds after the doorbell sounded. I walk over to the window with my new glasses on (they rule!) and take a look out to...

I like Ross King. I really do, but his latest journal entry is very interesting. At first I was a little shocked, but his ramblings do make some sense. I first saw Ross play at Late Nite my freshman year. I loved Late Nite and Treb (the speaker) so much that I was a little bummed to hear that a special concert was going to take the place of our regular weekly service. Anyways, Ross played for a couple of hours and it was amazing. I remembered being mesmerized by...

have you ever noticed all the weird off-brand batteries that new electronics and doo-dad's come with? This has always annoyed me and I've never been able to think up a good explanation as to why this kind of thing happens. It's as if the company who is already charging you $900 for a television that costs $110 to make can't afford to hook you up with some duracell's. I've thought up every possible scenario i could about why this happens; anything from the company wanting to keep the price as...

In bible college this past Sunday, Phil Pirkle (my hero) said that "if you don't have a plan, any road will get you there". Interesting huh? It explains so many of my trials and tribulations and why I just can't seem to go anywhere. It's so simple, that it's almost hard to plan for something. I don't have any idea what I want to do with my life. I know I want to get married and have children and get a job and do the normal things that the rest...

Universities do it. So does the government and employment agencies. It is online testing, and it has become part of the lives of many people required by their employer or school to pass an exam. As of last week, Test Central Inc. in Cleveland owns the U.S. patent to conduct testing via the Internet and, in essence, owns the online testing business. Itís a market that exceeds $10 billion a year, according to a study the Gartner Inc. technology research and consulting firm performed for the company in 1999, said...

High-wire actJoe R. Thompson III, 18, hangs onto utility wires 25 feet above the ground in Blue Springs, Mo., on Jan. 27, after a traffic accident flung him from his Jeep and into the air. After 20 minutes of dangling, Thompson was rescued by emergency workers. Thompson suffered only bruises and scratches during the ordeal. "God was definitely in control," he said afterward.(click for bigger image)...

i wanted to say this, but kyle said it way better...it's beginning to drive me insane how much of the american public is not only against a possible war on iraq (emphasis on the word possible), but how they're acting like iraq is the poor victim in the hands of the "evil" president bush. if you don't like bush or his policies, fine, it's a free country, but what is the use of playing him out to be the bad guy against iraq, of all places? i can understand outrage...

For a minute, I thought it was strange why the shuttle was getting so much press. It was kind of like Sept. 11th, in the way that alot of regular channels were showing cable news feeds. After watching for about ten minutes, I understood better why it was getting so much coverage. Space flight is fundamentally American. Not that we're the only ones that do it, but that it's a part of the American spirit. Even more strange to me is that two of the astronauts had ties to good...
