liberals

"A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left."
-Ecclesiastes 10:2

I guess I'm a bit late in finding this one (they have t-shirts!), but I had a hunch there was something biblically wrong with being a left leaning liberal.

dreaming

There are certain dreams that I have that are almost lucid, but not quite. Where at a certain point in the dream, I consider the possibility that I may be dreaming, but end up deciding that no, this is in fact reality.

When I wake up, I feel incredibly foolish. Of course it was a dream. Everything in it was dream-like: the lack of details, the sluggishness of my movement, the entire absurdity of what I was doing. And yet, having not waken, I could have accepted it as reality.

And maybe we are dreaming now, accepting this as reality when it is so much less than what was planned for us. Maybe life after death is somewhat of an awakening. Random thought.

Oh, and I was reminded of this recently:
"I regard no man as poor who has a godly mother"
-Abe Lincoln

duck hunt

So yesterday, I finally figured out how duck hunt works!

Every time you press the trigger, the screen turns black and every duck turns white for a split second. The gun barrel has a photo-detector, that, when pointed to a duck, senses the shift from black to white and registers a hit.

Isn't that ingenious?
