You are a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive.  You're all about winning the race and getting the job done.  While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal.  You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

I'll go with that :)

Schools out, grades are coming in (good so far).  People are back from various colleges.  Lots of football on tv.  The holidays are looking good.  Lets have some fun.

Its probably time i updated this thing.  Lots has changed since my last post.  I am now back at UH for my Senior year.  I've loaded down my schedule with 19 hours (including Tax, Audit, Cost Accounting, Statistics, and Comparative Revolutions: English, French, and Russian (all of which are hard upper level classes))  So I'd imagine that this semester is going to be tough at times.  I tend to focus better that way though.  And I still plan on making time to go to the Foo Fighters concert with Crystal (and Kim and Alisha) and to go to the Alterbridge, Shinedown, 3 Doors Down concert later this year, as well as Buzz Fest in November.  So I'm sure I'll still manage to have some fun this year.

Also I have a new group of kids in my 4th grade sunday school class, so that should be interesting.

The biggest change has probably been Asher going off to the Navy.  I now have a room to myself as a result, so I've been spending a lot of time changing it up and making it my own.  Also, I now have a lot of extra clothes (Asher had more money to spend on clothes than i do apparently).  So Asher leaving isn't all bad.  Hopefully it is good for him.

Well so much for posting serious stuff.

I've been surfing the web a bit recently, with not quite enough to do, so here's some fun stuff...which some of you have already gotten from me.

http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_222165020.html 

This is an incredible story about a truck carrying 35,000 tons of explosives through Utah that blew up yesturday

 

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,126808,00.html

This is a funny article about PITA people

This is a great music video...a pro life rapper, who would have known.  This guy even has his own TV show on MTV

Well ya'll enjoy.  This is my next to last day here at Halliburton.  Its been a long but profitable summer.  They are taking me to PF Changs for lunch, on a tour of Minute Made Park before that Astros game (because we built it) and then to the game...so it should be a long day...only made longer by the fact that I came to work today from church having just helped out at a preteen lock-in (so I got to get to sleep at 3, and get up at 6:30, lovely eh?)

My view of Senate Majority Leader Billl Frist is really falling.  He has shown no leadership abilities whatsoever in the Senate, and now he has shown that he is a victim of the moral relativism that plagues Senate liberals.  I was already having my doubts about him when he was unable to stomache the courage to end the filibusters on court nominees, but this is worse.  He said "I am pro-life...I believe that life begins at conception" and then he goes on to say that the federal funding of stem cell research, which results in the death (not "destruction" as liberals like to term it) of a fetus, is a necessary step.  Something that I doubt many people know is that stem cell research is not illegal.  Any scientist can do it.  But they want US to pay for it.  Frist wants to use our tax dollars in the willy nilly murder of infants.  Any politician who can say "I believe that life begins at conception" and then pass laws allowing stem cell research or abortion (like John Kerry did during the election, and Bill Frist now) is becoming the moral equivalent of the worst mass murderers and perpetrators of genocide.  They are consenting to something that they themselves have be their own admission logically defined as murder.  And on the scale of millions.  What is Frist's problem?  I seriously hope that this article is wrong.
