My Thoughts
Thinking About Love
I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately. Maybe it’s because I’m back with Stephanie. Maybe it’s because I went to a wedding this past weekend. Or maybe it’s none of those things. Maybe it’s because love is always on my mind. It’s a mystery to me and I’m constantly trying to figure it out. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any real success.
Sonics: The Last of the Downs
When I was a kid I would hide away in my family’s basement, sit down next to the washer and dryer and spend the next three hours, nerves on full alert, wishing my favorite basketball team to victory. I’d cheer, I’d yell, I’d tell others to shut up; the Seattle Supersonics were on and nothing else mattered.
Seattle Sounders FC
It’s been a while since I’ve been excited about anything sports related in Seattle. The Mariners are moving upwards toward mediocrity, the Seahawks are moving downwards to meet them, and the Sonics…soon the Sonics won’t even be a Seattle sports team. (Which, on a side note, is one of the most depressing things to think about. I will seriously cry when the Sonics leave town.)
Politics Schmolitics
I received an invitation on my Facebook page the other day that said, “Come help the Republicans win the battle against the Democrats!” This made me chuckle a little bit. Is it really a battle? Is there a war going on between the Republicans and Democrats? I’ve never been into politics much, but this year, this time around, I am. And what I’ve found it is that I, as a Christian, am automatically made to feel as if I should support the Republican Party. Well, I don’t agree. I mean, why? Was Jesus a Republican?
True Love
Two days ago I wrote about love…true love, awesome love, the kind of love that makes you write dumb blogs about love…but I didn’t write about the truest of all loves.
Can’t We All Just Get Along?
I was listening on the radio today to a Christian talk show where two Christian leaders, or writers, were discussing global warming and other political issues. They brought up the fact that Rick Warren, a popular Christian leader, along with 85 or so other Evangelical leaders, signed a letter stating to help with the [...]
Save Our Sonics
I’m going to take a break from my usual rambling and discuss the situation the Seattle Supersonics are in. Actually, I’m going to let actual sportswriters do the rambling in a sec, but I will give a short backstory.
The Real Stars
Ben Stein, the guy who said, “Bueller…Bueller,” has a new book out called The Real Stars. The Book is a collection of essays arguing that the real stars in the world are not the Hollywood types like Paris Hilton or Brad Pitt, but the men and women who wear the military uniform and fight [...]
Gloria Strauss, 1996-2007
It’s amazing how you can feel so much for people you don’t even know. For the last five months or so I’ve been keeping tabs on the Strauss family in Seattle, Washington. They’ve been sharing the story of their 11-year-old daughter Gloria’s struggle with cancer with columnists from the Seattle Times.
Gloria died [...]
Don’t Drink and Drive
Last night was a very unsettling evening. I should have known it was going to be a bad night when I visited different blockbusters around town looking for The Never Ending Story with no luck. Good news is I finally found it under a few different movies on a shelf at the [...]
