We Are Nowhere And It's Now...

Lately things feel like they're falling apart. I understand that life goes through cycles, but things just feel worse. Maybe it's because the stakes are higher now. Maybe I have no idea what's going on. A large chunk of everything just seems pointless. Where's the deeper meaning in it all? Is this it; just this vague misrepresentation of how life was supposed to be? Talk about false advertising. I should sue. Wow. What a great representation of American culture. "I feel you have wronged me in some way...give me money". If only life was that easy.

Now for the fun part:

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 23
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions

"Postmodern architects reject as too austere the modernist requirement that buildings be designed to reflect an absolute unity" A Primer On Postmodernism by Stanley J. Grenz

A New Desert Life...

So today was a good day, which is good. Not great, but great should never be expected. That’s partly what makes great great. That being said, today was a good day. The storm has passed for now. It was a beautiful day, which is hard to stomach when all you can do is stare outside at the kids playing in the fountains and singing the Toys’R’Us theme song in your head while you work. I don’t know if it’s just me, or maybe I’m the first human to evolve to compensate for global warming, but it doesn’t seem that hot out yet. I know it’s only the beginning of June, and I will most likely be dying come August with everyone else, but it seems nice outside. Anyway, hopefully this will be an insiteful, fun, real experience for everyone. By the way, every post will be titled after a song. Guess the band and you get points. Bonus points for the album and any other additional information you have to give. I haven't decided if the points mean anything yet...
