We are gathered here today....

...to mourn the loss of Drew's mouthbrow.

Not.

We (whoever "we" consists of; it might just be my multiple personalities and I) are, however, gathered here to read another post of mine, and perhaps to leave some comments.

Subtle I am not.

I found another freaky Manson/RK coincidence. "I'm really starting to despise beautiful people," sings Matty T. in that same song where he blasts Manson. Now, is he saying he despises the girlfriend mentioned in the song (who is presumably beautiful), or is he expressing his dislike of Manson's song, The Beautiful People?

I also found two SF lines that cancel each other out.
"Souls aren't built of stones..." --4:12
"...where the stones are built of souls..."--Rebuild
So souls aren't built of stones, but stones are built of souls?
Isn't that like "I have my mind on my money and my money on my mind"? Y'know, the same thing?

Currently listening to: Eriatarka--The Mars Volta

Yeah. Today my only company was my iPod, soooo.......music is really all I have to say.
If you were expecting some fantastically outrageous and profound commentary on society, politics, or the human condition, you'll have to wait till tomorrow at least. Unless you want to explore the Mars Hill site and watch the vodcast.

Warning: not for the close-minded, whether you're a die-hard atheist or a fundamentalist Christian nut.

I have to say, Mark Driscoll is brilliant. I'm...not too fond of organized religion as whole, though I am a believer. It carries such negative connotations and has built such a bad reputation for itself. It's strayed so much from what it was supposed to be. I guess that's the price of being comprised of imperfect humans.

But Mars Hill is fab. It's doctrinally conservative but culturally liberal. (That means it's all chain-smoking, college-age Seattlites who don't wake up till 9 PM and go to HempFest. Speaking of which, Mark Driscoll hung out at HempFest once or twice...)

So yeah. Go check it out, even if you aren't spiritually inclined. Not trying to convince or convert; just sharing some food for thought.

By the way, I totally blame Jessica for the huge storms on Saturday. She did this freaky rain dance, so I think it's all her fault. She is such a pagan. WE decided a while back that if we weren't Christians, we'd be Wiccans. That's probably blasphemous or something.
