let’s do it.

obama victory speech

amen.

marriage intro

(i wrote the following sometime mid-march.)

so, i’m getting married really really soon… that may be why i haven’t posted in awhile. i’m getting more and more excited as the party draws near – alot of really good friends and family will be there to support us. overall, i’m confident that the whole thing will get completely out of hand, and still work out really well.

empty space

at work, after the holidays, we have way too much
of a particular sort of empty space. the kind inside
boxes that no one wanted with whatever they bought.

so, most of today, i identified, organized and carried
useless empty space (not to be confused with useful
empty space, like the kind in a house or a bucket.)
to the space-monster (dumpster).

i removed useless empty space to create
useful empty space so later, we can fill it
with more empty space. not satisfying.

more on baptism

earlier today, i went to a group discussion about baptism
that a friend invited me to. i’m not sure what denomination
they were… the pastor guy (who apparently speaks greek)
rejected the idea of infant baptism (the style i referred to
in the original sin entry). there were some bits i disagreed
with, but what he had to say was very interesting.

his interpretation of the bible led to a version of baptism
that was more like the sacrament of confirmation.
i think his definition was sufficiently vague for me to
interpret it as – a conscious, well-informed, public decision
to be committed to life and the good of mankind. i like the
symbolism: jumping into a lake, not knowing how deep it is,
getting in completely over your head and trusting that
it will all turn out ok.

whatever all that means is pretty relative.
