Ravi Zacharias...Heard of em?
well, neither had i, but apparently he is one of the worlds leading apologists for Christianity. He spoke here last night and i have to say i was impressed. He was very intelligent, and very indian (but very fluent in english) so i diddnt understand a lot of it, but i tried to write down as much as i could on a receipt i got from my wallet and my hand. these are some of the quotes i took away from him:
the only thing that happens when you throw mud is you lose ground.
when you get to the top, there is nothing there.
the problem with not believing in God is not that you will believe in nothing, it is that you will believe in anything.
Know what you believe and why you believe it.
that last one was the main point of his speech pretty much and it stuck out the most to me. i hate to trivialize his speech with quotes, so you should check him out.

condoleeza rice also talked to us this week, but she diddnt talk for long. she pretty much just gave the "you are in the worlds and history's greatest fighting force / we are the best" speech, which i had heard before, but she was still an impressive person. apparently she was a concert pianist and figure skater by age 8. i think it is just another midshipmen rumor though.
on a seperate note... TiVo ShmiVo. if you buy one thing in fiscal year 2004 it should be a black and decker "sandwich express" sandwich maker. i know what you are thinking..."but i can already make a sandwich by myself." To this i respond foolish simpleton, can you melt cheese and perfectly half each sandwich every time with just your bare hands? i diddnt think so. best twenty bucks you can spend. most delicious sandwich you can eat.
well of course i would like to stay and chat,
of course i would like to sitaround and chew the fat.
but of course,
i cant
