So Michael Jackson died last week.  I never really got into any of his music - I've never gone out of my way to listen to him so all I've heard is what inevitably pops up on the radio or a parties and such. After a week of listening to everyone talk about how sad they are that he's dead and how they've listened to nothing but his music all day I ( Read more... )

I ran across this comic the other day and the utter randomness of it made me laugh:

A few days ago I found myself in a conversation with someone in the midst of searching for something in which to believe.  This conversation made me think back to something that I haven't thought of much in the last couple of years: my own beliefs.

I think back to five years ago when I first realized that I did not believe in God, I had never ( Read more... )

So in a fit of randomness truly befitting my personality, I found myself on youtube looking for recordings of the Scottish folksong "Loch Lomond"

See, I love most all music, but I'd be lying if I tried to claim that to be true at all times.  No, I love all music but in order to really appreciate a given song it has to be what I'm looking for at that ( Read more... )

So an interesting thing happened the other day.  I've been in Midland since Monday afternoon and it has been great.  I've played my saxophone, I played the piano music I didn't bring to EL, I picked up some movies and books I left in Midland, and I made channa masala just hours ago (and it turned out amazing).  The odd thing, though, is that as ( Read more... )

I may not have a lot of routine in my day but one thing that is very common is for me to be at my computer in the wee hours of the morning as I try to catch up on my  my favorite websites and such.  Lately, though, as I sit at my computer in my dimly lit room I've started to, if only for but a moment, forget where I am.  This isn't a case of ( Read more... )

Ah, yes, now I remember the trouble of having a blog.

See, it's times like this when my mind goes into overdrive. My schedule gets even crazier and I get even less sleep than usual. In the weekend leading up to and of finals, everything I do (except for sleep) I become more hardcore about. For example, in the last fives days I've gotten all the ( Read more... )

I've been having extremely vivid dreams lately.  I can't really say that they are weirder than normal because I don't normally remember very much of my dreams.  Regardless, my dreams have been much more striking than normal.

So, I love dreams.  For years I have absolutely loved my dreams, regardless of how weird or crazy they get.  It's extremely ( Read more... )

So I love my house more and more all the time ( Read more... )

I asked a friend a few hours ago for suggestions on what to blog about tonight (for I had decided that I had to write tonight) and she suggested that I blog about the rain. I decided that wasn't a bad idea, so here goes.

I absolutely love the rain. I never really used to give it much thought, but then again I was indifferent to most things in life ( Read more... )
