I'm working on a new journal.... So far it hasn't gone live (not real sure why) but it should be available here soon.

I'm not bitter today... at least not much. I've had too much fun reading this particular blog. I can't help it, the lady just makes me chuckle at times. Check her out if you haven't.
So where to begin today... Being the nerd that I am I sat up last night and ordered direct from Japan this little 2.5 inch radio control car. I know... I know... but I figure you have to have your fun somewhere. The thing is called a BitChar-G and it runs for like 2 minutes on a 30 second charge. We'll see what kind of fun I can have with it as I tool it around the office... I figure everyone will think it is fun or I'll get fired. Either way I still have a cool little car.

Main Entry: god
Pronunciation: 'gäd also 'god
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English; akin to Old High German got god
Date: before 12th century
1 capitalized: the supreme or ultimate reality: as a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshiped as creator and ruler of the universe b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind
2 : a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
3 : a person or thing of supreme value
4 : a powerful ruler
Merriam-Webster, Online Collegiate Dictionary
Amazing isn't it. How this simple phrase can divide a nation. I wonder sometimes at where it will all end. Can we truly live in a free society when neither side can decide on a definitive way of doing things? I see so much going on in the world and more importantly here in the U.S. and I wonder how much of my tax dollars were spent on making this court ruling. Let me start this off by saying that by all accounts I am probably an atheist. I want no one's religious beliefs forced on me but at the same time I feel I should never force my lack of faith on anyone as well. So where do we draw the line? At one point do we as a people stand up and say it's OK to live your life the way you want I will stand beside my Jewish, Muslim, pagan, atheist brothers and sisters and rise up against those who would harm my way of life. Unfortunately the people causing the biggest amount of harm on the American way of life is the Americans themselves.
