That sneaky Sneak
Mar 31st
Congratulations Jeremy Wright on duping the world.
Just the other day I did what I deemed to be a devious deed (other than cheezy alliteration.) During lunch in the Cafe at work I was sitting on my own, and I had a nice cold Coca Cola sitting in front of me. I decided that if someone was to come by, and was in a silly mood, it’s quite likely they may shake up my nice cold Coca Cola, as a little trick.
So I got tricky myself. I opened the can as much as I could, without making it look open, and More >
The Saga Continues…
Mar 31st
So today I finished fixing the sledgehammer. So today I finished exacting my revenge on the desk. I have not finished destroying it, but my revenge is complete.
Desk, if you ever, EVER mess with me again… “I’m gonna git medieval on your ass.” – Marcellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction.
Hacked my face?
Mar 31st
Terrible news for the world – Ensight.org has been hacked! I hope things aren’t too messy Jeremy.
I suspect retribution will be swift and painful. But yeah, come on hacker dudes, if you can be clever enough to hack Ensight, then try and make some cleverer slogans. “We hacked your face”? Great… that’s really great guys.
Who crucified Jesus?
Mar 30th
Something for the frustrations category.
With The Passion of the Christ being such a big deal lately, I’m sure you heard all the arguments and debates before the film came out. Anti-Semitic this and that. I totally respect that, but not this part :
“The Passion of the Christ makes it look like the Jews crucified Jesus.”
Firstly, arguably, the Jews DID crucify Jesus. Sure the dudes who hammered those nails into his beautiful hands were Romans, but they didn’t just do it because they figured it would be a good idea – they did it because the Jewish council made them do so. More >
Backpain
Mar 30th
Today I got to work on repairing the sledgehammer I broke last week. Last week I referred to is as a mallet, and not until Shannon suggested that I use a sledge hammer, did I realize the spelling mistake. To be honest, I knew mallet was wrong, but I just thought I was spelling it wrong.
Anyway… I sawed the shattered end of the handle and then circumcised the end of it using a grinder, so as it would fit into the sledgehammer head. Once it looked to be of a decent fit, I started hammering it in. Only problem More >
“Poetry”
Mar 30th
In browsing the Blogotron (I REFUSE to use the “sphere” word) I came across this little… gem? Something amusing anyway. It’s a blog full of poetry created using the subject lines from SPAM e-mail. Interesting theory, it’s actually pretty funky. I enjoyed this one especially.
Secret thoughts
Mar 28th
I wonder who invented secrets. Like imagine if up till a certain point everything anyone ever did was public knowledge, until all of a sudden one guy figured out, “Woah… hold on a second. Why don’t I just NOT tell you what I’m thinking/planning/etc.”
For good or ill, that guy started a revolution!
God thoughts
Mar 28th
It occurred to me during church today that God, for a huge number of reasons, is very very good to us. To be accurate, that occurred to me a few years ago, but a few more examples of his goodness came to me.
Such as… God does not get technical with our language when we pray. Example… This morning Pastor Duncan was praying for a guy who’d had back pain for years, and it had made him walk stiffly. So Duncan was praying over him, “Loose! Loose!” and stuff like that. All of a sudden I thought, “Hehe, what if God More >
I’ll never look at corn the same way…
Mar 27th
I went to see Secret Window last night. Hehe… pretty intense. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat corn without thinking strange thoughts. See the movie, you’ll understand.
Seriously though, highly recommended. Johnny Depp is totally believable, John Turturro was excellent. The writing was also pretty good. Reminded me a little of Fight Club, but it’s nothing like it really.
Fair-welled Bethany today as well – she’s off on a trip to China for 2 weeks. Very cool stuff.
To be honest, I haven’t had such a chilaxy weekend in ages. It’s a nice feeling to More >
Smith and Wesson
Mar 25th
Hehehe… I love this. I’ll probably get in trouble with someone, but it’s pretty hilarious.
Desk 2, Jonathan 1
Mar 25th
So I got back to work today on that stupid desk I mentioned yesterday. The boss’ daughter was sick, so he left early and will be away for Friday and Monday as well. I told him not to worry about anything, have a good weekend, etc. Within 1 hour I had broken his mallet.
He doesn’t know yet. The chances of him finding and reading this blog are equal to the chances of Star Wars Episode 3 being really really good… so I’m not worried. But yeah… stupid desk… broke the mallet. So I spent the next 30 minutes removing the More >
Trouble with the Uber-Spiritual, and a Desk
Mar 24th
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have a hard time talking to people much more spiritual than myself. I really try hard, but I’ll just sort of drift away while they’re talking to me about this and that and the other. Mostly about these amazing hard-core preachers, who to be honest I don’t care about too much. Which is kinda bad I suppose, but it’s not my reality.
Brief aside: I love the bit in The Passion of the Christ, where Pilate is talking to his wife about “his truth.” It’s very human, very real.
