  • Daily wanderings...

    I decided to start some daily wanderings. When I don't have anything to blog about I'll just put some interesting links to news articles, interesting blogs, websites etc.

    • Do you know where your wedding customs came from? - Since I'm getting married soon I was wondering how and why things came about. I found a very interesting blog post on wedding customs.
    • America's Got Talent? - It's questionable, now I'm not saying that these aren't talents, but I fear that our culture has lost all sensibility when it comes to what to watch on TV. What I mean is that not all entertainment is intriguing when it's put on tv. Although I like the theater, circus performers, and (for lack of a better word) freaks, they are only enjoyable when in their given environment. Last night I caught the last 5 mins of the show... pretty stupid. If this is the #1 rated show in America, I'm still glad I do not own a TV.
    • Rick Warren BLOG - it's true, Rick Warren is now blogging. He's talking about his travel while doing Purpose Driven Life all over the world. Kinda makes me sick, but still G-d's using Rick for the kingdom. I need to not be so negative.
    • Would you like a Ford Tauras with that? - Medcentral College of Nursing, where Sondra goes to college, got some free pubicty when a Ford Tauras window of a local TGIF. Crazy, you'll have to check the video out yourself for more details.
    • Front lines in the middle east - I have always wanted to visit Israel and other middle east countries, maybe even live there. I almost had Sondra convinced it was fairly safe, but now that the Lebanese/Israel con Have you ever wonder what it's like to be in Lebanon or Israel during war? Now thanks to the internet we can not only see, but also contact people living via blogs, email, audio/video conference, etc. ABC News BLOG, TheWorldNewser, has an post that links to civilians in these areas. My heart goes out to these people and the people who are inflicting this evil upon one another. Pray for peace and love to prosper and for a way that we can be a positive force during this conflict. Here is a cartoonist/artist blog who lives in Beirut.
    • Jeopardy Drama - Ken Jennings, who won 2 million dollars or so has been blogging about Jeopardy. Poking fun at the show and it's host Alex Trebec. Ken goes on to day the original Alex was killed and they made a robot to fill in for him. The show and other news show put some pressure on him that he was ungrateful. So he fired back an apology, saying that Alex is not a robot.... instead he is a cyborg that they had to rebuild using small canadian children. Hilarious.
    • Be A Superhero - Stan Lee, creator of Spiderman, has a reality show called "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?". I have nothing else to say, just check it out. Also in other good superhero news, the USPS is coming out with stamps featuring many different superheros. It's exciting.
