I'm alive. That is all.

I find it amusing that the (former) Hurricane Ernesto shares a name with Tito. It leads to such statements as ( Read more... )

It surfaced today that the Pentagon lists Homosexuality alongside Mental Retardation and Personality Disorders as mental disabilities. You can read more here So I guess you can rack up another reason to believe our military is still living in the 50's ( Read more... )

If you have a chance to check out Neil Young's new album, Living With War, do so. Good stuff. Makes me wonder who will stand up in our generation to take a stand against injustice or whether they'll just keep putting out the money-makers.

Well, the tickets have been bought, the reservations made, now I just have to settle in and wait for it to happen. Oh this is going to rock! I'd really like to compile a list of everyone's favorite David Lynch films. So far I've seen Lost Highway (a long time ago), Mulholland Dr (this past weekend), and Eraserhead (bits and pieces). I want to take ( Read more... )

OK, to those interested in rafting, let me know if you'd be down for this trip. We would begin on Saturday, sleep overnight along the river, then finish up on Sunday. It sounds like it gives us a chance to get comfortable and get used to fighting the low level rapids on day 1 and then day 2 is a bit more adventerous. Let me know so I can make ( Read more... )
