The flowing robes, the grace, bald … Striking. | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/hello-world
Road Does Not End. October 26, 2007. The flowing robes, the grace, bald … Striking. There it is, I should just leave now. But I can see why the guy has such a following in religious and secular circles as his charm, humility, and sense of humor are disarming; he kind of just sucks you in. Why am I not more compassionate? Perhaps this sentiment is one that bears repeating as many times as people will listen. 8211; the Jewish prayer for healing the sick:. Son or daughter of) and then the person’s. Hebrew n...

Road Does Not End. June 10, 2008. A Response to Allecto’s Critique of Joss Whedon and “Firefly”. This post is a response to this. Critique of Joss Whedon and his short-lived Sci-Fi/Space Western. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 8211; whether or not such scholarship is justifiable it’s indicative of Whedon’s cultural relevancy. And while I enjoyed. My personal favorite is. In all of its short-lived glory. Moving on …. In its entirety (more than once) and read multiple scripts for both the show and ensuing movie.

Back At It | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/back-at-it
Road Does Not End. March 9, 2008. Inconsistency was the undoing of my last blog and 4 months between posts ain’t exactly the definition of consistent. My apologies. Quite a bit has happened in that time so this post will be relatively short and provide some updates. On the professional front, I was accepted into several Ph.D. programs and decided to accept a position in an American Studies department that extended me a fellowship. I’m excited to get back into school and work towards som...On the spiritua...

My New Favorite Basketball Player | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/my-new-favorite-basketball-player
Road Does Not End. April 9, 2008. My New Favorite Basketball Player. Now I think there’s some kind of rule against being a student at Purdue and cheering for anyone affiliated with Indiana University but I’m going to have to fight the law on this one: Eric Gordon is Jewish. I mean we’ve got Red Auerbach and Larry Brown so we can coach, and then there’s David stern the head honcho of the NBA, but when is the last time there was a Jewish basketball player of note? And he shoots 83% from the free-throw line.

100% Kosher | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/100-kosher
Road Does Not End. March 26, 2008. It’s official, as of 3/25/08 (or if you prefer the 18th of Adar II) I’m Jewish. Well, at least to the majority of the Reconstructionist, Reform, and Conservative Jews anyway – the Orthodox are a bit more problematic. Anyway, I’ll have a much lengthier post about my conversion up soon, for now I’ll leave you with this NY Times article on Jewish identity. How do You Prove You’re a Jew?

When Bad Things Happen (Part 1) | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/when-bad-things-happen-part-1
Road Does Not End. March 16, 2008. When Bad Things Happen (Part 1). The first time I read When Bad Things Happen to Good People. By Rabbi Harold Kushner I was probably 11 or 12 years old. I was in therapy for a variety of reasons that I won’t go into here, but let’s just say I wasn’t a very happy child. So anyway, my therapist assigned it to me, I read it, and I forgot about it. It really had little to no impact on me whatsoever. They [tragedies] happen at random, and randomness is another name for chaos...

Road Does Not End. July 10, 2008. Part 2: A Response to Allecto’s Critique of Joss Whedon and Firefly. Yes I know, I suck … 1 month between posts is unacceptable. Apologies. So I had this long drawn out finale about Byronic heroes, understanding feminism n media, etc. But it just got unwieldy and incoherent and long over-due (again). A few more things on this subject:. I could go on and on about how involved Whedon is with Equality Now. And how the Can’t Stop the Serenity. Buffy the Lesbian Separatist.

About | Road Does Not End
https://rdne.wordpress.com/about
Road Does Not End. I’ve attempted blogging before but it was primarily an effort to help myself process and deal with the death of my brother and the ensuing depression that resulted. As I came to terms with with his death I found myself unsure of what direction to take the blog and I found myself unmotivated to write and undecided on what topics to write on. Ultimately, I’ve decided a new start is needed. Here on. Road Does Not End. Lovely post. I’d love to hear more. On March 26, 2008. RLR on A Respons...
