I welcome you to the first annual somewherequiet swap ever had on this website. The idea, share your favorite music with the other readers of this website. Here's how it will go down: I burn a cd with my ten favorite songs and mail it to the other participants of this swap. In return for my participation, the other participants will mail their cd's to me. If 6 people participate, you send 5 cd's and you get 5 cd's in return (obviously if 6 people participate, you'll only get 5...

The church is in desperate need to find new and more effective means by which it might reach our current culture. Most of American Christianity has lost contact with the world by limiting itself to the sub-culture of the Church. As a result Christianity has become marginalized and lost its influence on society. There is a pressing need for the Church to create new wine skins through which she might contextualize a relevant Gospel message. In our rethinking of evangelism, the arts are quietly re-emerging as a means of communicating...

Attention: All Hootie & The Blowfish Fans Saturday, August 30, 2003 7PM Six Flags Over Texas That's right, Hootie is alive and well! Adam Hoover and I will be in attendance along with two lucky guests of our choosing. We're on the 14th row, smack dab in the center! Hoover and I are huge Hootie fans, so this is like maybe the greatest thing ever. Also, tickets are only $8.00 on top of the price of park admission. I expect to see each and every one of your Texas folks...

This is another way I teach the lesson of dependency. Good people wait for a teacher to tell them what to do. This is the most important lesson of all, that we must wait for other people, better trained than ourselves, to make the meanings of our lives. It is no exaggeration to say that our entire economy depends upon this lesson being learned. Think of what would fall apart if kids weren't trained in the dependency lesson: The social-service businesses could hardly survive, including the fast-growing counseling industry; commercial...

If i could think of a word more damning than hate, i would use it for the shows on ABC and others that cheapen love and marriage. Who actually watches this crap I ask? Well, it seems like everyone. My mom, friends, coworkers all buy into this filth and perpetuate it's existence. Ok.. So i've never even watched an episode, much less any other TV that is not on Tivo, but come on. It's got to be horrible right? I just feel so sorry for the contestants and the people...

I think about change a lot. I mean changes in my life, work, and the people i know. I can't remember but like 10 people from high school. I see people everyday at work that went to Lubbock High, but I can't remember their names or why i knew them. In the past semester, I've done things that i swore to myself that i'd never do. Back in high school, Adam Hoover and I would sit around and trash talk anyone that was going on vacation overseas. We'd say that...

"good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement" ~ Bill Gates I'm a complete Mac convert. I love this thing and it works like a charm. OSX is leagues above Windows and the included software is incredible. I love how all the main programs you use for media are built in. No third-party drivers to bring your system down. Viva iBook!...

oh yes!...

Jason Kottke's pictures from Paris are soooo much better than mine. Also, they've convinced me to go back. Anyone want to go to France in the fall? I might even be getting something new tommorow to take along!!...

Taylor was a good girl, never want to be late, complain, express, ideas in her brain, working on the night shift, passing out the tickets, you're going to have to pay her, if you want to park here, well mommy's little dancer has a quite a little secret, working on the streets now, never going to keep it, it's quite an imposition, but now she's only wishin, that she would have listened to the words they said ......

For the 5 days of our 7 days in London, the tube station nearest our hostel was broken. It seemed like the start of our trip was doomed. Missed connections, lost bags, and now closed tube stations. The Russel Square station was closed, so we had to use Holborn which probably added 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile onto each leg of our journey. When we came back from Paris, the Russel Square station was open again. It's weird though, even though it was closer and easier, I missed...

Georgia students planning whites-only prom dance A year after holding their first integrated prom, some students at Taylor County High School have decided to again hold a separate, private party for whites only. While many whites say they still plan to attend next week's integrated prom, the decision to hold the whites-only prom today saddened senior Gerica McCrary, who helped organize last year's dance. "I cried," said McCrary, who is black. "The black juniors said, 'Our prom is open to everyone. If you want to come, come."' Juniors are in...
