When I was 17 I swore I’d never do it, but it happened. I grew up. I’ve been reflecting a lot in the last year or so on my childhood and teenage years. Thanks to Facebook, I now know everything that is going on in the lives of every person I’ve ever met. We didn’t [...]

Do you ever just stop and ask ‘what am I doing?’ You should try it. My wife and I were at the grocery store this weekend. We needed eggs. I glanced over to the margarine isle and decided that I should go and see what the prices were like. Eventually, I decided that they were [...]
No Happy Endings

“The last act is tragic, however happy all the rest of the play is; at the last a little earth is thrown upon our head, and that is the end forever.” ~ Blaise Pascal Well, maybe there are some happy endings but there are no guarantees. I saw Cloverfield the other night and thought that [...]
Brutal Planet

I’ve been attending a Christian university for about three years. There are two professors that I quite enjoy that both happened to mention Alice Cooper in their lectures recently. Now that’s odd, two well respected scholars talking about Alice Cooper. Well, they had good reason to bring him up and it reminded that I’ve been [...]

Did you see the news last night? I can’t believe what they did to that guy. Actually I can’t believe the news station showed so much. It was a bit gruesome I think. But as bad as that was it’s nothing compared to what that lady did to her own kids. Or what that other [...]

I like to think about stuff and listen to music. You probably figured that out from the name of this blog. Sometimes I just like to think about life in general, nothing too specific. I posted a couple of songs below that I have been listening to for the last few years/months. If I’m not [...]
Seinfeld and Death…

Seinfeld is one of my favorite TV shows. Most people seem to enjoy it. Every once in a while the writers seem to work something really deep into an episode. I posted a portion of script below from the episode called The Pony Remark (I recently posted all three parts of the episode in video [...]
The Death of Death.

Poetry used to freak me out. And it pretty much still does. I just don’t get it. I have had some really good professors that have helped me understand a few poems. Now I’ve got a lot more appreciation for poetry! I have stumbled across a few poems that I really like. They just have [...]
