Last Saturday evening my sweet little Starla fractured her right femur. I really feel sorry for her, she is at an age where mobility is everything. Now she has this massive cast on that forbids her to move around. Here is a scan of her X-Ray:
Sometimes I just feel as if I am attempting to do to many little things in life and I am not taking a step back to see the bigger picture. Tonight I went with Mandy and Starla to the Clarke Planetarium to see a presentation at the dome theater. The show was about distant planets in other solar systems. My mind started to wander as I watched the show, I thought to myself “Why don’t I still feel the sense of wonder anymore with my life.” Has it become too mundane to matter much? Am I really doing what i should be doing? How do I enrich things more?
I know I can’t continue doing the same thing that I am doing forever. The time for change is coming. As to what that change will be and how I will execute it, I have only begun to work on the details.
Here is an interesting story from CBS news. Apparently gang culture is evident in the US Military, with American gang signs seen in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Democrats and progressive Republicans need to heed the clear intent of the American public by ceasing funding of the war. Over 2/3 of Americans disagree with continuing the war. Democrats need to stall, fight, and quit anything that provides any power for Bush to continue the war.
It has been a while since I have upgraded my computer and I feel like the time is right — right now. I have been wanting to go to an intel core 2 duo processor for quite some time. The price for the Intel E6600 is about $220. It just seems like the time is right. However, I have plenty of computing power and I don’t really need to upgrade. What should I do?
I just had a long weekend of virtual work with painting some walls in my house. Now I am back to the day job. Check out my video rant:
Â
I am watching Fox News Sunday and good old Newt is ripping on the president. While I don’t agree with many of his motives, he does bring up many valid points. More evidence that the Republican party is very fractured. I don’t think it matters who gets the GOP nomination, a Democrat will win in ’08.
I got a new laptop at work and I was not enjoying my experience. The machine had Windows Vista Business installed, which I have had some luck with in the past. Not this time. The XPS M 1210 did not like Vista, but it seems to like Feisty Fawn, ubuntu.
It was a messy, nasty debate. At times I could barely stand to watch, because of the disorder. However, through the whole debate we saw a couple constant themes appear:
Rocky Anderson:Â Stuck to the facts, attacked the president based on his facts.
Sean Hannity:Â Attacked Rocky Anderson, called to “Support the Troops.” and avoided defending the president.
I wasn’t really surprised by the tone of the debate, however, I think Hannity may have been surprised by the veracity of the crowd. The crowd was surprisingly about equally divided between supporters and skeptics of the war in Iraq.
Tonight the wife and I watched part one of “The Mormons,” a PBS documentary about the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a fairly interesting 2 hours that appeared to try to honestly be fair and balanced. My great question is what did actual mormons think about this documentary?
