The Argument Clinic

Another article I wrote a few weeks ago just came out on relevant.  You can read it here if you are so inclined

So I got another article published on relevant today. You can read it here if you are interested

So I got an article published on relevantmagazine.com today. You can check it out here if you are interested

My friend sarah passed along this website.  Thought the photos were interesting, in a depressing, can’t believe that was actually 5 years ago kind of way.  September 11 is always a weird day of the year now, just a day that will always have a sad feel to it I guess.  I don’t even really remember when that date didn’t conjure up the images that it does, so I guess in some ways I can believe that its been 5 years.  I know people traveling for work this week who left yesterday because their wives really didn’t want them flying today, can’t say that I blame them.  It would be weird for me too.

I was lucky in that I didn’t know anyone directly affected by the attacks (though I knew people at college who were worried about relatives and friends all day until they could get in touch with them), but growing up not far from nyc (45 mins-1 hr) made it feel closer to home I guess.  It feels like just the other day for me that we were all watching it unfold, not knowing what would happen next, can’t imagine how it feels for the people who were in nyc at the time.  Its just one of those days that you will always remember…whether you really want to or not, I guess.  Was interesting to see more people turn to God during that time, though for many that seemed to be a temporary reaction, unfortunately.

I have no plans at all to watch the world trade center movie, ever.  Its not like I’ve forgotten what it was like to watch it happening on the tv in front of me, hear/read the stories, comfort friends in college who were completely freaked out, depressed, and wondering where God was in the midst of it, etc.  I don’t need to live through that again, I think the movie is in poor taste, some things should never be commercialized, but that’s just my opinion…

Anyways, thought the website was interesting…

So I read this article on relevantmagazine.com today and it intrigued me.  Unlike the author, I am a beatles fan…so thought the book the author is reviewing (called The Gospel According to the Beatles by Steve Turner) could be an interesting read sometime.  Will look into that at some point.  Can’t say I look up to the group as role models, but still curious about the book.

Always loved the movie hard day’s night (if you haven’t seen it you are missing out! Random quotes: “He can’t help that he has a hideous, great hooter, and his poor little head tremblin’ under the weight of it” (Paul’s grandfather on Ringo)…Ringo: “You know there’s a man in the cupboard” George goes to check, comes back, calmly sits down and says “He’s right ya know.” Others shrug it off and respond: “Well, there ya go” [i could go on and on, but i won’t ])….not as much of a fan of the movie help, but its ok….obviously enjoy their music as well.  Personal favorite is while my guitar gently weeps (have a preference for george’s songs).  Anyways, thought it could be a good read sometime…
