Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. The random pondered thoughts of a man on the quest of life's great adventures. And as each day begins, the truths of his world unfold, for, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. Thursday, June 09, 2005. As I sit here, almost 11:00pm on this Thursday of June 9th, I realize after reading some other blogs that I dearly miss my place of origin. And I will not get to be around to see most of it. My sister is going to be a junior in college. Praise Him ...

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. The random pondered thoughts of a man on the quest of life's great adventures. And as each day begins, the truths of his world unfold, for, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. Thursday, May 19, 2005. Faith - and the phone call of an Angel. Sometimes you wonder why you have faith. Well, let me tell you, the reason is clear:. Needless to say, I have a job at the local Christian Bookstore and an apartment as of the morning of the 19th. HURRAY!

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. Rich Heyroth, 1977-2007. Bumping this on the three-year anniversary of the day I lost a friend. Before Monday, I did not know Death. We had never met. He visited my neighborhood a few times, draping elderly relatives with his dark blanket, but that's about it. Until this week. Losing a good friend has been a difficult new experience, nowhere near as tough as it is for those closer to him, but difficult nonetheless. Media coverage or perusing comments on this page.

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. Is yet another extremely well-made film by Christopher Nolan* . A fascinating idea executed perfectly by a strong ensemble of actors and a high-caliber technical crew. The visual effects are very impressive and occasionally wow-inducing, so seamless and story-serving that they are almost overlooked. Avatar. A drastically different movie from Inception. But each uses visual effects perfectly, integrating them as part of the narrative rather than mere flashy eye candy.

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. World Cup Report: Final Musings. The end of the World Cup is near. One game remains. I've been in South Africa for over five weeks, living in a hotel, taking a bus back-and-forth to work, watching every single match, Skyping my wife. It's been a bizarre existence. In the much smaller picture, there's a game today. Netherlands. Spain. One of these countries will lift the trophy for the first time, ending decades of could've-would've-should've frustration...Putting o...

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. When I see and review movies that are adapted from books I've read, I try not to get wrapped up in the similarities and differences, because I think doing so can ruin the cinematic experience by distracting from the movie, which often. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Getting right to the point, the movie's primary problem is that. Drives the story. The book is propelled by three main questions: What is Draco up to?

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. As expected, The Fighter. Is a sports movie. The basic story is familiar to anyone who's seen a sports movie, and little is surprising along the way. All of which makes the superior nature of the film even more remarkable. In a cinematic age with too many bloated films, The Fighter. Is more than just a good sports movie. It's a great movie regardless of genre, featuring numerous outstanding performances. 9 of 10, which feels high, but I don't think anything...Has l...

A SMALL OASIS IN THE DESERT OF REALITY. The LOST finale was like a good chunk of the whole series. Characters: great. Powerful moments: ridiculously great. Throwback moments: deliriously enjoyable. Storyline: a little dicey. In some ways, LOST reflects life. We don't always get answers, at least not ones we want, and I accept that. To LOST, my favorite television show ever. Best Films of the 2000s: No. 3. I didn't know what to expect from Million Dollar Baby. And I knew Baby. In the final act, Baby.
