Apparently Google has just bougt YouTube for a cool $1.65 Billion in stock. What does this mean for Google Video and YouTube? I’m not too sure at this point. I do know that it means that Google has purchasedly one of the most popular video sites on the internet. I also know that it will ...

Mistakes 2

Oct

2

2006

I hate making mistakes. I mean I really absolutely abhor making mistakes. However, just this morning, I was reminded of something I’ve heard my dad say before. It goes something like, “if you can’t make a mistake, you can’t make anything.” I just turned 26 this year (scary thought), and I think I’m starting to ...

Fear

Sep

28

2006

I struggle with fear sometimes, probably not the same fear you do, but maybe it is. I think we all fear something at one point or another in our lives. Fear of change. Fear of failure (that’s a big one for me.) Fear of death. Fear of letting other people down. Fear of the unknown. ...

U.N. General Assembly = Bush Bashing Festival

Sep

20

2006

Last time I checked, I thought the purpose of the United Nations was to promote peace on Earth, help struggling Nations, assist during wars/breakouts of violence, etc. Apparently, this week its purpose is to promote bashing of President Bush in any way shape or form possible. I have my own thoughts on the usefulness of ...

5 Years Later 2

Sep

2006

I just read a blog by one of my good friends about the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. This person asked some questions in their blog, and I thought I would answer them here. 1.) In those 5 years what have I done? Well, lots ...

Wrong, Mr. Gore

Aug

2006

I just got done watching Al Gore give his little save the planet speech on the MTV Video Music Awards. I won’t even bother wasting much time stating that the fact that Mr. Gore uses a “do as I say and not as I do” approach when it comes to the environment. Just do some ...

Glad to be back

Aug

2006

It’s always fun to get away and go on vacation, but it always seems just as nice to be back home.We just returned from a little day-and-a-half trip to Erie, with our friends, Darrin and Krista. To call them our “food friends” I think would not fully describe our relationship, but I will say that ...

Watching History

Aug

20

2006

There are only a few times in my life when I’ve felt like I’ve been watching history. Michael Jordan and the Bulls winning all their championships in the 1990’s, September 11, 2001, and the various wars I’ve lived through. Today I’m watching Tiger Woods make history by winning his 12th major championship. To those of ...

Reminder

Aug

10

2006

The happenings this morning in England are a reminder of the increasingly crazy world that we live in. A reminder that we can’t just sit back and assume that everything will go back to normal. A reminder that there are people who are bent on two things: the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of ...

Older Brother Syndrome?

Aug

2

2006

If you haven’t read the parable of the Prodigal Son, you should. Check out Luke 15:11-32 in any version of the Bible. Am I an older son? No. I am an only child, but recently I realized that I suffer from what I like to call “Older Brother Syndrome,” which has nothing to do with ...
