Vox Clara

If someone wishes to love himself he must not allow himself to be corrupted by indulging his sinful nature. If he wishes to resist the promptings of his sinful nature he must enlarge the whole horizon of his love to contemplate the loving gentleness of the humanity of the Lord. Further, if he wishes to savour the joy of brotherly love with greater perfection and delight, he must extend even to his enemies the embrace of true love.

But if he wishes to prevent this fire of divine love from growing cold because of injuries received, let him keep the eyes of his soul always fixed on the serene patience of his beloved Lord and Saviour.

This 12 year old has a lot more sense than any abortion supporter.  I challenge any one of them to present better argument for their position.

Don't you just love it when people with no idea what they are talking about speak.

I have noticed something very disturbing lately. I am spending way to much money.

Ten dollars here, few dollars there and boom the monthly total is huge!

I really have to put myself on cash only system. I carry my debit card anywhere and I use it all the time. I trick myself into thinking that I am using cash by carrying it in my pocket but I always pay with debit.

This is going to be hard, I have to force myself to bring lunches to work. It really ads up.

Just because I don't have time to think about anything else to write about.

Random things about me

I wish I was a better speaker

I don't care for Star Wars, I would watch it but it is quite low on my "COOL" scale.

After having two girls I want to have a son, and I hope he has green eyes.

I hate shaving. I always cut my neck.

I wish I was slightly fatter. I'm working on it by eating fatty foods.

I can't sing. I wish I could. I still do sing however, which drives Julia mad.

I don't like to swim. If men were meant to swim God would give us gills.

I love to read.

I have a scar on my forehead and green eyes. I am not Harry Potter.

I don't like scary movies.

I drink more coffee than water.

I am a morning person.

I love cartoons

I love cookies. I eat a lot of cookies.

I like to cook but I don't cook enough.

Battlestar Galactica (Season 4 Episode 11)

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I get a great notion
To jump into the river an’ drown

Its been almost a week since the first episode in the second part of season 4 aired so I had some time to think about it.

Overall I loved the episode. It was one of the darkest episodes of BSG ever. The heavy mood of lost hope was brilliantly filmed.

The plot did not progress much but the bits of information we got were really shocking, yet expected (13th Colony being Cylon).

The biggest revelation of the night happened in the very last scene, where we found out that Elen is the 12th cylon (or the fifth of final five). At first I was unimpressed. Why her!? I don't even like her character. She was annoying in season 1 and I didn't care for her much in later episodes.

After few days of reflecting on it however I am starting to feel that she does fit. I don't know where the story will go but I predict that Cavil knows Elen is a cylon and that is partially why he doesn't want the others to know anything about the 5. I could of course be horribly wrong.

Can't wait for next episode.

4.99/5

Lost (Season 5 Episode 1)

I must say that I am a bit unimpressed with the Lost's time traveling island story. It seems that every time a show starts to play with time travel it ends up being a mess.

I hope I am wrong but I already see logic holes in the story which bothers me.

Don't get me wrong over all the premiere episode was good. Hugo was funny as always and my wife liked Sawyer running around the jungle with his shirt off *raised eyebrow*. It looks like the producers of the show finally know where the story is going which means that hopefully they will start answering some questions.

4/5
