i just finished reading eric schlosser's "fast food nation". it's an incredible book. after the last page, i honestly said to myself, "that was a damn good book." everyone should read it. i guarantee it won't bore you or disappoint. it addresses a lot of horrible things that have come with the rise of fast food. it's changed the way i think about some things. i no longer think of free-range eggs, grass-fed beef, or tofu as "hippie crap". i think about what i want for dinner, and a quick...

i'm sitting in my backyard with my iBook and my new wireless connection. sure it's not that practical, but it's so much more fun to be able to surf from wherever you want....

But when the doctor pushes the triage crew aside he says, "You're all long on diagnosis short on cure." don chaffer is an incredible musician and songwriter. there are few artists i've found who can really speak through their music as much as don chaffer can. most people will recognize him as the lead-man from waterdeep, but he's also got two amazing solo albums. his newest has a song called "long on diagnosis, short on cure." it speaks volumes about christians today; quick to judge, unable to move forward. i...

Trash's favorite meal is Penang Curry with Mock Duck from Chiang Mai Thai. It's an evil-looking, green-orange, coconut-milk-based brew that loyalty to my wife prevents me from describing accurately. A couple of times a month, we'll get a takeout order in a clear plastic container. Mixed with rice, it's enough food for three or four meals. Not least of all because I won't touch the stuff. Velcrometer is straight funny. i love the note he wrote....

If McFarlane wins, he says he'll probably lend all three balls to the Hall of Fame. "I can tell my story away from the balls," McFarlane said. "I don't have to be standing there next to them, saying, 'That's mine, that's mine, that's mine.' I don't even need a plaque with my name on it. As long as I know that they belong to me and I can rub it in to my brothers that these are mine, that's just fine with me."...

I see the music industry as a crowded noisy well-lit room full of beautiful people standing around with drinks, being waited on, fashionably dressed, laughing, talking. I?ve spent a little time grinning to myself on the outskirts of this room, feeling never quite at home. But now I leave the crowded noisy well-lit room. I slip away with you through a side door. We let the chatter fade, the chaff blows away and there is new growing wetness on the after dark grass along this tree-lined street. And the sky....

Tonight my car got broken into; it happened at 10:04:08 PM by a gentleman in a red Ford pickup. First, I'd like to thank him for being nice. He took the two half-full dr. pepper cans out of the cup holders before ripping the facing off and placed them nicely in the floorboard. Sweet, isn't it? Next, I'd like to thank Toyota, or maybe old age, for keeping them from being able to get to my cd player. When they ripped the thick plastic facing off, it wouldn't break in...

It's so painfully obvious that mac users are the most creative, intelligent people out there. Need proof? Do you like Jason Mraz? He uses an iBook; i found a picture of him with one here. Also, his music is amazing....

Someone should produce a short-film quarterly, published on a DVD. It would include short films by independent filmmakers. Each issue could have a central theme or genre, documentary, gender issues, cold medicine abuse, etc. A subscription would be cheap and the packaging would be tasteful and recyclable. There should be a device hooked up to your car's stereo system that displays whatever song and artist you're listening to whether it be tape, CD, MP3, even radio (it would look it up using the Internet) in a scrolling LED ticker tape­type...

"But to keep me from getting puffed up, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from getting proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said "My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in your weakness." So now I am glad to boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. Since I know it is all for Christ's good, I am quite...

1) Why do I pay 20% more in tuition for the same classes this summer? 2) If Tech were so cash-strapped that they needed to bilk us for 20% more, how come there is still ten construction projects going on all over campus? 2a) Did they really need to spend $60,000,000 $84,000,000 on a the football stadium that was already decent? 3) Why did the state legislature approve tuition deregulation? I mean, paying $1200 for two classes is great; so I'm sure it'll be even more fun when it's...
