Racing!
Took Harper out to see some racing. We had us some fun.
I'm slowly figuring out how to get yourself out there on the webnets. My cousin Dylan (aka BigRedRobot) is pretty much a master of it. You can find him here, here, follow him here, and even check out his group here (although that last one seems to be taken over by a porn bot named Lavenia, which could result in some raised eyebrowage).

taken from the lost tapes of when "they" were creating the American-English language:
" 'i' before 'e' except after 'c'. Oh, and also in the word 'weird'. because let's face it, that word is strange."

How trivial can you get? I always complain about my work. I always stress out about school. I get all worked up about my calling at church. I worry about scratches on my car. I need there to be the right amount of Chunky Chips Ahoy or I'm all bent out of shape. If my Xbox won't play my latest torrented download of Fringe I have a minor conniption fit.
People, what the heck? Is this what life is? I know many people who are going through far worse than me. I myself have gone through worse. What is it about us as humans that make us forget what's really important unless we're faced with some sort of tragedy? How can we get out of this mess? How can we subvert the dominant paradigm? How can we truly be spiritual beings going through a mortal existence?
Of course I know the answer to this. Really, there are multiple answers. Prayer, study, meditation, contemplation. Take a step back, Jack. I don't want to be trivial. I don't want to be boring. I don't want to be that broken record when someone asks "How you doin'?" I say "Oh my back hurts and my studies are hard and my job sucks." I want to say "I was thinking that it's so cool that Nephi thought he was such a bad guy, man I want to be like that." Or "Dude, seriously, why did we have to lose Frank Zappa so early?" I want cool, random, meaningful things on my mind. If I ever get around to making a new year's resolution, it's going to be just that.
