Mad Musings of a Miller

This blog shall be no longer. It's time for a fresh start. A new one lives at 75. See you there, if you care.

If anyone still reads this, I apologize for not writing.

I've recently moved into a different house and it's kep me busy. I'm also working on a screenplay that is nearing completion and that too has kept me busy. I've had tons of 9/11 commentary but writing massive email debates back and forth with my brother has burned me out on the whole topic and I have nothing left to say about Michael Moore or his film.

And who said money couldn't buy love? Actually, I'm not sure anyone ever said that , but still.

I'm sorry but that girl is way too hot for him. It's just not right. Did you know people on Letterman couldn't tell the difference between the top of Donald Trump's head and the top of a monkey's head?

I'm selling my house and that means I've been working my butt off trying to get it ready. Not fun.
I finally got MVP Baseball and have been playing it online with some buds. Fun.

Two things today each of a very different nature - or maybe not:

Pat Tillman: You've probably heard the story: this guy plays in the NFL for a couple of years and decides (after 9-11) to turn down a multi-million dollar contract offer to join the Army. He was killed yesterday fighting Taliban in Afghanistan. It's humbling. Not only did this man completely change his life for his convictions, in the end he gave his life for them. It's easy to have convictions, it's not easy to live by them.

John Kerry: In the last month he has said "I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars, before I voted against it" as well as "I don't own an SUV...the family has it. I don't have it." When are the Bush jokes going to start about this guy? Believe me, he's every bit as much of an idiot as Bush. While we're talking convictions...granted that most people hate Bush's convictions, but at least he has them.

Huh?

I'm glad to see that we figured this out. We now know how fish grew their hands.

Isn't the whole creation/evolution thing a blast? Not really. I'm not a person who enjoys this debate. In fact it drives me crazy. There are people much smarter than me on both sides of the issue who have studied, read, and researched much more me than me and I find it funny that whenever I aruge with someone on the whole thing, we both end up quoting some dude who knows a lot more than us and his views that we read in some book. In fact, neither of us usually have any personal attachment to either. What we do have personal attachment to is God or no God.

I find it equally frustrating that many Christians, and many non-Christians, can't fathom the idea that evolution and God are separate ideas. Evolution means no God, many say. And the whole big evolution "religion" as I call it, does mean that. But the science of evolution is a means of creating. Could God have used evolution? Heck yeah. Did God? Don't know and don't care. Bible only claims God created, not how.

So...fish with hands.

Ah, video games. Let's be honest, the industry is a pain right now.

I'm shocked. How could such a thing ever happen? He left Nicole for her...it was true love.

On a slightly more serious note, this is shocking. What would my mother say?

Okay, I'm not a big end-of-the-world, Armagedon, war-to-end-all-wars guy, but...it doesn't take a prophet to look at what's happening in this world and say "Hmm, it sure seems like this Israeli/Palestinian,Arab/Jew,Middle East/West thing is going to explode at some point into a massive conflict that involves the so-called Christian nations against the so-called Muslim nations. Call me crazy, but those "outlandish" and "crazy" Revelation stories seem a little more realistic every day.
