Some religious discomfort

Posted on October 25, 2006 by Josh

I’ve been a bit uncomfortable over the past month and a half on every Sunday. Why? I started taking my mom to church. She enjoys it a great deal; she literally looks forward to it all week. I think her … Continue reading →

The ideal vacation spot?

Posted on October 20, 2006 by Josh

A post over at Lifecruiser made something occur to me: my ideal vacation spot isn’t really the norm. Seeing the picture of Fuerteventura, I realized that I just don’t care much about sandy beaches and sunshine. I commented on the … Continue reading →

Posted on October 19, 2006 by Josh

I’ve been a very shy person for pretty much all of my life. While it’s tough to admit it, a lot of my school years were spent mostly in silence (at least while at school). Sure, I had some friends, … Continue reading →

Some books I’m reading (and a few blunders of mine)

Posted on September 10, 2006 by Josh

I must admit – I’ve been lying to folks. The ‘Currently Reading’ bit in my sidebar is not entirely true. I am in the midst of reading Ringworld, but I’m also reading a lot of other things, too. I haven’t … Continue reading →

A bit more about biking

Posted on September 8, 2006 by Josh

I posted a while back about dragging my mountain bike out of the attic for exercise. In that post, I bitched and moaned about it being much more difficult than I’d remembered. The post is here, by the way.) Since … Continue reading →

I didn’t plan that.

Posted on September 5, 2006 by Josh

After posting my last entry, I noticed something kind of neat. Totally random, and it doesn’t amount to anything at all, and I can’t really imagine anyone else truly caring, but oh well… My evening post was posted at 9:39PM. … Continue reading →
