Peace in the Middle East? 1

Jul

2006

Will there ever be peace in the Middle East? In a word – no. Well, let me clarify that answer. There will be peace in the Middle East, but only after Jesus returns. Don’t believe me, check the Bible – it’s all there. Israel has been promised certain land by God. They are God’s chosen ...

Good-bye, World Cup

Jul

2006

Well, the 2006 FIFA World Cup has come and gone. This year I have followed the tournament closer than ever. It definitely was not any fun watching the U.S. get trounced. This was supposed to be the year that they played better and went deep into the tournament, but they failed to even make it ...

Penalty Kicks

Jul

2006

I just finished watching Portugal defeat England on penalty kicks. We really have nothing like penalty kicks (I guess except for a shootout in hockey) like them in American sports, at least that I can think of. There is an incredible amount of pressure on players in the World Cup. Although we Americans might not ...

Site Update

Jun

2006

Well, I went ahead and updated the site, yet again. I can’t seem to pick whether I want the posts to be in a separate Blog section or just right on the main page of the site. For readability sake, I decided to just have the Blog on the main page. That’s pretty much what ...

Flag Burning Ammendment

Jun

2006

Today I read that a proposed Constitutional Ammendment preventing burning and/or desecration of the American flag failed to make it through the Senate by 1 vote. Now, I don’t know how I feel on if there should be a law or not, but if you are a citizen of this great country, why on Earth ...

Big Ben 1

2006

Yesterday Ben Roethlisberger was involved in a pretty nasty crash while riding his motorcycle without a helmet. A lot of people in the sports media have been giving him a hard time for not wearing a helmet. Well here is my take on that. 1.) Should he have worn a helmet? Probably, but under PA ...

Weekend Fun

2006

This past weekend we traveled to Ithaca to visit Katie and her family. After we arrived Friday night we went to a Japanese restaurant and ate at the Hibachi table. That was a pretty cool experience. The chef was really talented, and he did some cool tricks, like taking an onion apart, stacking the rings ...

No Love for DRM

May

2006

This is why some companies just don’t get it in this digital era we live in. Tonight, while watching the season finale of 24, which was insane by the way, I saw an ad about Burger King’s MySpace page where you could download a free episode of 24. Cool…or so I thought. First of all, ...

The Controversy

May

19

2006

The controversy that is The Da Vinci Code hits theaters today. I haven’t read the book yet, but I did read The Da Vinci Code Deception, which proved to be quite an interesting read. It sounds to me (from what I’ve read) that Mr. Brown needed to get his facts straight. People say, “Oh it’s ...

The Da Vinci Code

May

2006

I just read an interesting article over at Fox News regarding The Da Vinci code. One of the quotes I liked best was, “Dan Brown is capable of passing fiction for fact because Christians donâ€™t know their faith â€” what and why they believe. Thatâ€™s not Mr. Brownâ€™s fault.” I think that sums it up ...
