If We’re Created in God’s Image, Why Does God Have an Appendix?
written 31 Mar 2009 just before midnight
If you’ve never had any of your internal organs removed, count yourself lucky. It was Thursday evening and I’d just finished the written portion of this motorcycle license course I was taking in preparation for possibly getting a little Stella to ride around Pittsburgh for the summer. While waiting for the course to begin, I’d gone to this pizza buffet place, where every slice was of some type of meat variety, except of course for the Oreo cookie style breadstick slices. I just went for a salad and while eating the mushrooms thought to myself, what are the odds that they even clean these things? The night went on, the course proceeded, good times.

My Entire Adult Life Has Been Lived Under George W. Bush
I distinctly remember not voting in the 2000 Presidential Election. I was 21 years old and lived in a studio apartment with two room mates and thousands of roaches. The past couple of years worth of media had been all about how Clinton was a bad person for having sex with an Intern, bad enough to be ousted from his position as leader of the free world, so politics in general didn’t exactly put a spark in my eye. And frankly, as a college kid, I was more concerned with how I was going to make my paycheck stretch from beer to beer than with the state of squabbling between two old guys who wanted to live in a white house.

A Walking World
Prior to the 1900′s, cars barely even existed, and people were often poor in the sense that not everyone owned a horse. So how did people get around?
Good old fashioned walking.

Thoughts on Twitter
I’ve been chirping out tweets for about a week now. I have no idea why, but I love it to the point of near addiction. It’s better than blogging and I know that there is some reason why this type of thing could change the world, or at least human interaction for the better, but I’m not sure why…

The Self-Actuation of a Hero, You Say?
Eventually all men must come to a self-truth, an evidence from within their very core, one that needles out through the chest and into the limbs, pulling at the lungs and beckoning to be seated. Yes, even man with his position above even the fabled monkey in the food chain must eventually come to realize that he is a part of time, and therefore he will age. No longer can he run stalwart for miles carrying word of a possible new form of spear point having been invented two villages east. Nor does he find his armer fitting and, indeed, even tightening around the girth. His stairclimber can no longer climb stairs by twos or threes, and eventually retreats to a single-staired ascent. Yes, poor Everyman, who must endure the reality of ages passing.

Hi, I’m Nathan, and I Love Forms
It’s true: surveys, census, quizzes, anything that involves me filling empty spaces with my opinions; I just love doing it. So I’m not afraid to admit that I spent the last hour or so at Just Say Hi, where I found out the following:

iTunes Should Manage Pictures
On a Mac, iTunes should manage pictures as it manages your music, video, and podcasts. Perhaps just integrate iPhoto into iTunes and ditch the other application altogether. It’s incredibly annoying that everytime I plug my phone in it opens iPhoto and asks me to import my pictures, not only because it tries to import every single picture every single time, instead of just knowing what the new pics are, but also because, well…what’s the point? iTunes is supposed to be a music player, but as it can handle PDFs (typically for enhanced albums that come with some artwork) and all types of movies, it’s basically just one step away from being able to load up a bunch of jpegs.

Bourgeois Movements of the Tidal Persuasion
My step-dad recently retired his position as a Lieutenant with the Pennsylvania State Police, and rather than having us throw him a retirement party, he insisted instead on taking the entire family on a cruise which, incidentally, begins tomorrow.
We’ll be hobnobbing with the waves that find themselves crashing anywhere between Florida’s drip, along Cuba and down the coast of Central America, with reportedly fabulous stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Belize. I’m highly looking forward to this trip, aside from obvious reasons like sunbathing in climes 1000 miles south of the Pittsburghian Winter, but also because of the better than likely chance that some of us may be renting a busted up old Jeep and driving out to see some Mayan ruins. As you may all know — being such devout readers of this, my blog — I’m a huge fan of the native cultures of what is now known as Central and South America, particularly for the whole mystery that lays behind their vast amounts of knowledge pertaining to astronomy and calculating time, but also for their stellar performance in that Mel Gibson flick.

Too Much Content
I love RSS feeds, great ways to get news, info and entertainment about just the things I want. I subscribe to maybe 10 or 15 feeds about varying topics. I had never realized, until moving to Google Reader, how many articles some sites put out in one day. Sites like the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Lifehacker, and Treehugger, for example, pump out about 30 – 50 articles a day.

Washington Post Article Advocating Impeachment
The reasons for impeachment are all too obvious to me, and apparently at least nearly 1 million other Americans agree with me. I don’t think I need to get into them, you either think that Bush is a good guy and he’s doing his best or you see him for the evil warmonger Constitution-disregarding son of a bat’s ass that he is.
