If time travel were to exist, would that lend additional support for Calvin's ideas of predestination/predetermination? Does time travel provide a way of testing a portion of this religious doctrine? Who (or what) would initiate an initial thought or action? If we go back in time and somehow become a player in an action and we realize that we ( Read more... )

I am getting antsy and want to travel. I am debating on a road trip during the last week of July sometime. If you have any ideas, or want to come along, let me know. I was pretty good today, and did a decent amount of homework. I actually had to take the wireless network card out of my computer to avoid the temptation to get online. That's ( Read more... )

Earlier today my cousins (ages 4-8) were throwing sticks onto the roof of our back porch. These wouldn't come down easily from the flat roof of the porch, and I knew that I would have to go get them at some point. The only had 2 or three more small sticks to throw, so I told them to throw those sticks on top of the garage that the rain would ( Read more... )

5 of the guys from my family were trying to convince me that Bush was a whole heck of a lot better than Kerry today. They even booed at the fourth of July Parade (which my town held today, because we can't do anything on a Sunday except have church in this community) when the Kerry supporters walked by. The Kerry supporters must have gotten really ( Read more... )

I saw Farenheit 9/11. Strangely enough after the first half I actually felt more supportive of Bush (that isn't to say that I felt in love with him as a candidate or president). I didn't expect that. The second half made me realize once again that we should respect the soldiers for doing their job, but truly take issue with the men and women ( Read more... )

From missbunnie's journal:
) Take your LJ username and replace each letter with the corresponding number (A=1, B=2, etc...). If your name contains numbers, you'll need to convert them to letters first before you can convert to numbers.

T+H+A+T+G+U+Y+N+E+X+T+D+O+O+R
20+8+1+20+7+21+5+14+5+25+20+4+15+15+18

2) Add all of the numbers together to create a kind ( Read more... )

I think that I may have been mistaken more for a high school student since I have been out of college, than during the entire time that I was in college. Today I had a professor at Calvin mistakenly assume that I was a pre-college student there for a college-prep thing. Oh well ( Read more... )

So lack of sleep has conspired not to allow me to work out since Monday. I was going to work out a day late for running today, but ended up falling asleep on the couch. When I finally woke up, my dad and I went out to Arby's because we had coupons and we were the only two home. The late 20s/early 30s, but already balding, manager scared me, ( Read more... )

You are an SRCL--Sober Rational Constructive Leader. This makes you an Ayn Rand ideal. Taggart? Roark? Galt? You are all of these. You were born to lead. You may not be particularly exciting, but you have a strange charisma--born of intellect and personal drive--that people begin to notice when they have been around you a while. You don't like to ( Read more... )
