1 tank trip
I really thought I wasn't going any place this summer. I thought summer would be mundane, filled with work. Then my father, in an act which is uncharacteristic of him (uncharacteristic because he doesn't spend money ever), offered to take me to Niagara Falls this past week. It was fun, filled with many things to do. I enjoyed my time. Here are some ( Read more... ) -
Fourth of July Parade
Here is just a little look into the best parade in the world. It is why the fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. The parade, in Lakewood, lasts about 1 hr and 15mins each year.

There is a season

Alleluia! He is risen, he is risen!
I must say, if you ever get a chance to see an Easter service at the National Cathedral in Washington, go! It was a once in a lifetime experience- something I'll never forget. The music was amazing. Between the brass, the bells, the organ, and the boys choir. So amazing. We sang two of my favorite hymns, "Jesus Christ is Risen Today" and "He is ( Read more... ) -

The Prism of Identity vs. The Concept of a Mask
So, I've decided to make a public entry for once that isn't a political entry (directly). I guess today's thoughts, I need to share with the world ( Read more... ) -
Quick note from Moveon.org before I make a real update.
- Hi Friends on Livejournal,
On Monday, Senator Russ Feingold introduced a resolution to censure President Bush for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping American citizens.
When the president misleads the public and the Congress and willfully and repeatedly breaks the law, there need to be some consequences--that's how the law works for everybody ( Read more... ) -
Renew the Voting Rights Act.
Help support the renewal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965- Specifically Section 5 which expires in 2007. Section 5 protects voters against discrimination at the polls and is also a provision that makes it manditory if a minority population is over 5% in a congressional district, the district must print a ballot in that language. This will take away ( Read more... ) -
