While growing up as a kid of the 1970s and 1980s we had an ENORMOUS stereo system downstairs in our family room. I think that my Dad bought it while he was stationed in the Philippines during the mid-1960s. I think that it may have actually been custom-made. I do know this. It was HEAVY [...]

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

- It’s time to get spontaneous here.
- I’m not even thinking before I begin typing.
- I’m just typing whatever flashes across my mind in the given moment.
- I think faster than I type.
- Once upon a time I could type faster than 60 words per minute.
- Then I got old.
- How old am I ?
- [...]
My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics
Posted in God, Music, tagged Family Force 5 on 07/29/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Goodbye humans. Goodbye earth.
I’ve left this place and all it’s worth.
I am transcending space and time.
I’m traveling at the speed of light.
Hello future. Hello birth.
This is your newborn universe.
There is no longer wrong or right.
We have become a source of light.
It’s in the lyrics.

It’s what you’re lookin’ for on a Tuesday night in the blogosphere:
1. So there I was bending down to get a closer look at a rather large reptile when it suddenly lunged forward to bite my face off. Right before the impact I WOKE UP from that dream, and that’s how my Tuesday began at approximately [...]

21 months ago I set sail on my longest cruise vacation ever – a two-week Mediterranean / TransAtlantic Carnival cruise from Rome Italy to Miami Florida. The cruise embarked on the central west coast of Italy at the port of Civitavecchia (west of Rome). It then proceeded up the coast to the northwestern port of [...]

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

Today’s modern hit music should not be about ego-driven personalities or flashy music videos or eye-popping live performances. It should be about the words in the songs. Do they really mean anything relevant ? Can they change the world as we know it ? Do they benefit God’s Kingdom ?
Here’s an ENORMOUS Christian pop smash [...]

Here’s what’s on my mind on this 3RD Tuesday night of July of 2009:
1. My long day at work is finally complete, and I believe that my gradual transition from ‘computer geek’ to ‘financial wizard’ is now official. For nearly 10 hours today I was never too far away from a calculator and a constantly-evolving EXCEL spreadsheet. I [...]

Back during the Spring of 1996 I visited my Mom, Dad, Brother, and two cats in the Washington D.C. area for the final time. (About 6 months later that year they all moved southward to Jacksonville Florida.) It marked the end of a 27-year homestead (1969-1996) within the D.C. area for my family (55 years for [...]
