Preserving Selflessness
Oct 31st
Every day, on my way to work, I listen to one of the local morning radio shows, Mornings with Brant. I’m a huge fan of the hysterics and crazy antics that occur daily, but I absolutely love it when serious topics eventually pervade the silliness. One such topic was brought up the other day.
Brant, the [...]
On Reviews
Oct 27th
I read an article on The Simple Dollar today regarding customer service and the various stories that inevitably follow. The site’s author, Trent, made a comment that really struck a chord with me:

Thread Mistaken for Lock of Amelia Earhart’s Hair
Oct 26th
Thanks to NPR News for this once in a lifetime story!

Check Mix FAIL
Oct 24th
I feel bad for whoever wanted the awesomely deliciousness contained within this bag of chex mix. It saddens my heart, really, for now they shall never partake in its glorious tastiness.

Weak and Strong Atheism
Apr 1st
Passive (Weak) Atheism is non-existent in those who profess it. Why? Because anyone who can consciously understand the concept OF atheism, can debate/argue against other beliefs, and/or has an understanding of other beliefs has obviously some knowledge and enough to have made a choice, conscious or not.
