It's only playing in select theaters, so good luck - unless you are a pirate, and just go download the damned thing instead of putting any effort into supporting the movie industry. I could care less either way, truthfully......arrrrrr. Critical http://criticalscorner.blogdrive.com/comments?id=345 http://criticalscorner.blogdrive.com/archive/343.html Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:16:38 GMT So, I was reading a post on E-ninja's blog about how atheists feel about morality, and I decided to wax philosophically for a sec. So, regarding morality: I've always felt that morality is the feeling that you wouldn't do something based on what other people would think of you. Conversely, I believe principles are the reasons you wouldn't do something because of how you feel. So, like myself, you can have principles without morals. For example, you could have someone that has no problem with stealing from people (no morals), but will not steal from the elderly (principles). By the...

Besides me, I mean. I laugh, but its not as funny if you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. Ooh, dirty word. Sweet. Anyway, hurdy-gurdy. Its a weird looking instrument - you can read about it here, if you really care. But really, this picture says it all: That's right, a man with a monkey! Satisfying my monkey obsession, Critical http://criticalscorner.blogdrive.com/comments?id=326 http://criticalscorner.blogdrive.com/archive/341.html Mon, 19 Sep 2005 12:30:27 GMT You know, to update my blog. If I tried a little harder, maybe I'd actually update it on some sort of schedule, and people would read it. Oh well, what can I do? So, it's been a long week. Last week, for the start of my vacation my oldest pet cat died, my computer went blammo (requiring a full wipe/reinstall), my jeep went screwy (requiring a $600 tuneup), I backed into a new car at a car dealership while taking my mom car-shopping because I was driving her crap-mobile (requiring some god-awful expensive repair, I'm sure....details will be forthcoming), and I got ridiculously drunk at...

I had the two weeks scheduled off work, I stayed up yesterday almost 24 hours to take a stinking class from the Red Cross about disaster services, I was going through the whole process....... then they went and changed my deployment date and moved the minimum requirement to 3 weeks instead of 2. This is a problem because I cannot get any other time off work, because my company is an evil empire. They have a strict policy about vacation time now because of a recent re-org, so I won't be able to take any time off from now until November, which...

This week I'm going for two training sessions for the Red Cross - a 1 1/2 hr training course on Wednesday and a 4 hr training course on Thursday. Next week I will be gone for 2 weeks in New Orleans, working disaster recovery with the Red Cross. I know, it doesn't sound like me. I normally cause suffering, not work to alleviate it. However, it was an instinctual decision I made, and it just felt right. So, I'm gonna try to stick with it. We will see what happens. If you are interested in learning more, just...

Some days I just want to quit my job and go live in the mountains somewhere, in a cave. It's rough working the night shift, because you lose touch with a lot of different parts of your life. I can't imagine what people did before the Internet - at least this way I can catch up on email and stuff. It sucks though, because I've been sitting here waiting for replies to some emails - it's hard to flirt with women via email, because if they dont answer in a day or two you wonder 'did I say something horrible, or is she no longer interested?' In the same vein...

It's dedicated to two special women - one who will always have me right here waiting, and one who knows what it's like, and is right here waiting with me. --------- I know I've been mistaken But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made I've got some imperfections But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here...

I haven't read anyone's blogs, haven't updated my blogs, nothing. I suck. Oh well, it's the price you pay for loving me, which includes sporadic updates and slow-moving madness. Lets see, moving on.... As much as I hate myspace, it did one good thing for me a few weeks ago - I had a profile on there that I rarely ever checked, and just saw that someone from back home emailed me. I say back home because even though its only an 1 1/2 hours away, more than just time and distance separate my hometown of Midland from northern Va. For those of you who had...
