What's In A Name?
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet."
By any other word would smell as sweet."
The saga of one named "blackwig" continues.

Eyes
yeah eyes are cool, what color are yours? These random eyes, found on flickr are really blue ( duh). Mine are probably blue, although some say they are also gray and green. so yeah....
The Needle
Guys, guess what? I gave blood for the 1st time yesterday. I know it's pathetic that I'm so proud of myself, but I'm afraid of needles and blood. It's actually not that bad except for how you feel afterwards and I had to be poked twice.

"Many Catholics" Disappointed by Pope Pick....whatever
CBS's Early Show
Couric played up Nazi questions: "Father Greeley let me ask, let me, let me just move on and ask you about Pope John Paul II. He was credited for his commitment to Christian-Jewish reconciliation as you know. The first Pope to visit a synagogue. He apologized for the wrongs committed against the Jews throughout history by Christians. But Cardinal Ratzinger's past includes a brief membership in the Hitler Youth movement, service in the, with the German army in World War II, which was mandatory. But given his past associations do you think that will create a rift between Christians and Jews and what can he do to fix that?" Again, Greeley demurred, saying young Ratzinger resigned from the Hitler youth and deserted the German army. Couric somehow missed what ABC did not, that the Anti-Defamation League welcomed Pope Benedict as a friend of Jews and a foe of anti-Semitism.

We have a new Pope.
Just like Craig said at Bible Study, Ratzinger is in. He chose the name Benedict XVI. Go Germans!
Summer Breeze
Mmm..this is how I feel. I'm lovin this summer weather. In fact, we have our hammock up in the backyard now and I can take naps in it.
G4TV.com
I know I am going to be the one coming out of this looking like the bigger geek but here goes...
I have noticed that some of the cool sites we have been seeing on this blog have also been spotted (by me) on G4 Tech TV. Monobrow and Dreath Ray (especially Death Ray) have been featured on a show better known as Screen Savers (original i know) but now called Attack of The Show . And i was wondering (not that it really matters) if you (Ben and maybe Kenric, i can't find the monobrow post to see who posted it) got the sites from the show of somewhere else. (lots of links i know, i am bored)
OK, now you all know what i do in my spare time, besides beeing cool by blogging.

The Meaning of Life
There's just one question now, is this the end? All of the doctors, covered head to toe in their pale blue scrubs, exchange looks of worry and hopelessness over the situation before them. One by one their eyes return to the patient in front of them, and they each try, despairingly, one last time to think of anything more they can do. They each ask themselves the question, was there anything I could have done differently? This moment becomes, for each of the five surgical professionals, including myself, a time of deep person reflection. We realize we will have been failures in every aspect of our lives if this procedure should fail. What will we tell our husbands and wives, when we come home tonight and and we know we have failed?
Suddenly, we are pulled out of our silent reveries by a low beeping sound, followed by a soft humming. There are five short gasps heard around the room as the humming is followed by a quick procession of clicks and beeps. We begin to laugh out loud as the 2005 Black Dell computer that we have been trying for the past 5 hours to save from almost certain shut down comes back to life. Can this be happening? Is it real? We did it! We saved it after all! The small room is filled with celebration as the monitor screen flickers on. Now we won't have to live without our computer! All our files will be saved! There wasn't a dry eye in the room as we all beamed with joy.
This was a moment that changed my life forever. You could never know the full impact unless you had been there, but nonetheless I have tried to describe it to you, exactly as it happened, so that maybe you can share in the experience as I lived it, and learn from it as I did.
