Loss, Sorrow, and Hope. July 26, 2009 at 3:21 pm ( Uncategorized. I’ve spent all week trying to wrap my brain around the concept of loss. I posted previously here. About my friend Joel, who has been fighting a war against Lymphoma this past year or two. Joel died last weekend after a couple of infections attacked his weakened body. I won’t try to encapsulate my feelings entirely in this post, as I haven’t even taken the time to truly. This was a difficult conclusion to come to. I believe that God is in t...

February 14, 2009 at 4:35 pm ( Uncategorized. I’m absolutely fascinated with big buildings. I love skyscrapers. When I moved to Phoenix, which is the 5th largest city in the country, I was disappointed that no buildings in our fine city are taller than the Chase Tower, which is 483 feet high. Here’s a pic of the Chase tower, which I walk by every day. 483 feet.not big enough! February 18, 2009 at 3:47 am. Do you ever want to skydive? I did that one tandem skydive and it was fabulous!

on my walk: there was shouting | cerebral discharge
https://cerebraldischarge.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/on-my-walk-there-was-shouting
On my walk: there was shouting. February 17, 2009 at 6:58 pm ( Uncategorized. Well, today, right outside my office, I heard loud shouting and swearing, as if there might be a fight brewing. Remember when you were young enough that fighting people was an honest possibility? Like if you hit someone too hard playing playground football, or if someone called you a name? It reminded me of that. Everyone goes quiet except the one kid yelling. 8221; or something like that. The best part, though, was after he wa...

March 3, 2009 at 1:51 am ( Uncategorized. My last post was my favorite 50 books of all time. As soon as I finished writing that post, I started reading Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card. 24 hours later, I’m finished with it, and it was amazing. I decided that it’s in my top 3 or 4 works of fiction that I’ve ever read: The Lord of the Rings, The Stand, The Dark Tower Series, and Ender’s Game. I’ve read a few other things that come a little close, most notable Insomnia. And it has it at the top. Address ne...

Things i believe in: a creator. June 11, 2009 at 8:34 pm ( Uncategorized. Haven’t posted in a while. (i know i’ve done a post commenting about how often people start a blog post with that phrase.). I was brought up in a christian family, and I was taught to believe in a creator God. I’ve gone all sorts of different directions in a lot of things I’ve beleived, and I’ve been willing to challenge every belief I was raised with, and this is one that hasn’t gone anywhere. That something, I call “creator...

How much is 3 trillion? February 14, 2009 at 2:46 am ( Uncategorized. You are being told that Obama’s “stimulus” plan is going to cost $800 billion dollars. This isn’t true. The estimated 10-year cost of this bill is actually about $3.27 trillion. How much is $3.27 trillion? Well, for starters, lets stop shortening it with an 8 letter word and use all the zeros:. 3,270,000,000,000. Look at all those zeros. What would $3,270,000,000,000 buy you? Those are MASSIVE buildings next to it. Obama, I would rathe...

Patrick: weekend with the martins. January 21, 2009 at 12:46 pm ( Uncategorized. Joel and Kristen Martin came to visit us in Phoenix this weekend. I’ve blogged about Joel’s situation before.

Here’s some pictures highlighting the weekend. Kristen enjoyed playing with the prickly pear cactus. The next day, we drove up t...
