Dealing with death

The one great mystery of life is death. I feel that the way you deal with death shows a lot about you as a person. Both in loosing those you know and love and in understanding that you are going to die at sometime. As I have said, right now my uncle is dying of cancer. Phone calls from his wife had...

Return of the King

Just got back from seeing it. Great movie. Really enjoyable. Still have no desire to read the books, since it was such a torture to finish Fellowship of the Rings, but still a great movie. This is one case where it worked best to turn the thing into a movie. You lost very little of what was needed,... Sign in to see full entry.

We still have a week to go

And yet so many people seem to want the holiday season over with and I am one of them. It really starts to drag after a little bit. I do remember the season as a child and really loving it and being into the whole thing, but it lost a lot when I grew-up. I have gotten some, but not all, of that back... Sign in to see full entry.

J.R.R. Tolkien is over rated

Or at least his writing style is. I read The Hobbit about ten years ago and thought it was a okay. Nothing special. I've read so many books that I thought were much, much better. Then after the movie came out I got a copy of Fellowship of the Rings and it bored me to no end. I found it to be a... Sign in to see full entry.

People are too complex

Talking with a co-worker today and trying to help her work out her problems, I saw just how complex some people can get. She is engaged. The man was in a car accident some time ago and his face is disfigured, so right there he has some confidence issues. Now a guy she is good friends with and kissed... Sign in to see full entry.

I am not ready for Christmas

Although I will be glad when the season is over and things go back to normal. I am just behind in everything. I need to get out and finish shopping for my wife. And I think we have a few other people we need to shop for. I used to get all my shopping done at the start of December, but that was when... Sign in to see full entry.

I had something to talk about

But I can not remember what it was. Don't you hate when that happens. You get a great idea for a post and then thing distract you and next thing you know you can not remember what it was you were going to say. So then you come here and just start going off about whatever hoping that just writing... Sign in to see full entry.

I am not religious, but I like Christmas songs

It's true I really think that Christmas songs are well written. Silent Night is a beautiful song. I can over look the religious aspect of it because it is good music. Of course when you hear the stuff everywhere you go it starts to get old real fast. I really wish stores would stop playing so much... Sign in to see full entry.

I feel great right now

Just spent two hours taking nap with my 8 month old asleep in my arms. It felt great. I am well rested and happy. There is just something so perfect about holding something so perfect. I remember when my almost 4 year-old was like that. It was great then as well. Of course now he won't stay still... Sign in to see full entry.
