The Green Lantern to the Rescue!

2006-05-12T14:10:00.001-07:00

Well,

Jeremiah Griswold

, you have lured my back to The Space Between. I haven't posted in quite a while, out of a complete lack of time and energy honestly. But I am back. Motivated by the curiosity of knowing my results for the superhero test. The results are in:

I liked the newer version from the comics than the classic Green Lantern from the test site. The results state that I (as the Green Lantern) am: Hot-headed. You have strong will power and a good imagination. I hate to admit that I am probably each of those things to some extent. Truth hurts. But the spirit conforms, or so I hope! Fun stuff, thanks for the incentive Jer. Until next time, which hopefully will be sooner than later.

I am checking out the blogger widget and actually posting this from my widget in os 10.4.5 on my powerbook. It was made by google for dashboard and if it works correctly, it is a pretty cool little app. We'll see.

Falling Apart

2006-03-03T17:56:00.000-08:00

Well, what they say is true. When you hit 30, your body starts to fall apart. I love competition, and even though I’ve had 3 knee surgeries, all in my 20’s by the way, and a herniated disc in my back; I still need to get the competitive instincts out of my blood. So I play basketball at the YMCA on Thursdays with about 20 or 30 guys, from 18 – 50 years old. Pretty competitive. Yesterday, I went for a ball and collided with a guy and tore something in my shoulder. Went to a doc-in-the-box today and I've got to go to a Physical Therapist next week to discover what may or not be torn. All I know is that it hurts. Bad. Back to the 30's thing, I used to bounce right back from something like this and hit the court the next day. Not any more. Isn’t funny, when you know the principles of setting a screen and rolling to the basket your brain does it perfectly, but your body is a step behind? Hopefully the damage is minimal and the rehab will be quick; but Farrah, my lovely wife, says this is the end of my basketball days. Oh well, I guess that is why I have xbox live. To get my competitive energy out. Gotta go play some Fight Night Round 3. Until my shoulder heals.

Why I love Apple

2006-03-01T18:46:00.000-08:00

I must say that I have an addiction. Of the worst kind. I am an Apple evangelist. I have been hooked since the original imac, bondi blue rev. a, in case you were wondering. I still have that, in the girls playroom, along with an iMac G5 in the office for my wife's business and my Powerbook g4 17", 1.67 with 2 gig of ram. I just got back from a conference at Willowcreek in Chicago, more on that sometime in the future. I have only been to Chicago one other time and that was in the 6th grade to see my brother graduate from naval boot camp. It was short and sweet. But this time, my partners in crime, (my staff from the church I work at) Jeremiah, Kristin, and Jeff took me to Michigan Ave. I must say that our brief stop at the Apple Store reminded me of why I love all things mac.

1. Aesthetic - incredible design
2. Ease of use - it just works
3. Software - no doubt, the mac created stuff is fabulous
3. Innovation - always outdoing themselves in the first 3 categories

Oh yeah, I also had another Powerbook that was stolen, and an ibook that I sold to get that Powerbook, a snow white imac at my last church, and 3 ipods. That is pathetic, but fun. The new macbook pro is the current object of my longing. When they come out with a 17" version, I may sell the farm!

the launch of my rantings

2006-02-28T21:28:00.000-08:00

The space between. My ears. My gray matter. The randomly generated impulses of energy that connect between the neurons that are tucked away in my head. I guess I am finally jumping on the blog bandwagon. In part, because I am really bad at journaling. I know, this is not supposed to be “that” intimate, but maybe it will force me to put on paper, or cyberspace, the imaginings of a pastor, dad, teacher, dreamer, tech junkie, 30 something year old kid who is in process. In process of changing spiritually and growing closer to my rabbi and teacher, Jesus. I find my thoughts dwelling on the whole idea of the moments we find ourselves in between where we are and where we are going. Between being and becoming. I think my first book title will be “The Space Between Here and There.” I may be writing it with your help. It should be fun. I said that I am jumping on the bandwagon, but that is not entirely true. I first posted to a blog, before it was called a blog, way back in 1994 when I took a class called, and I am not making this up, The Vortextualities of Cyberspace. It was an elective course in my English major at UGA. Our class project was to write an interactive short story in html; a virtual choose your own adventure. Pretty cutting edge for the times. Faith the Cat. That was our story, my partner and I dealt with a cat that got lost in Jerusalem by an antiquities professor who couldn’t travel without his cat, but lost him in the confusion of a hectic day. It was pretty philosophical for a brand new follower of Christ and his searching non-religious English major assigned class partner. So my history with participating in the conversation of faith floating around as 0’s and 1’s goes back a little while, just a little rusty. It’s time. Until next time, savor the place you find yourself in.
