For future reference, I recommend not doing the following all in the same day:
1) Not eating
2) Consuming roughly 400 mg of caffeine
3) Staring at a computer screen for 11 hours
4) Jogging 1.5 miles on your toes
5) Consuming roughly 45 grams of sugar at midnight
…it’s not pleasant.
On Memory

When I get in the car every morning, I first listen to the song of the day (or usually, song of the week) while sipping my hopefully pipping hot coffee. The next order of business is to review whatever I memorized the day before. This is a touch-and-go procedure. Was my brain [...]

I watched a French film entitled High Tension (violent horror flick which I am not recommending) with Alex and Carsten last night. Once I got through jumping at shadows, it raised some questions– especially considering the nature (and specifically the End) of desire.

Back to teaching– it is good to be here. Although, to be completely honest, when my alarm rang in the dark pre-6am coldness this morning, I was definately ready for a couple more days of vacation.
In fifth and sixth grade we discussed direct objects. Did you know that they receive the action of the [...]

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying …
God become man.
He breathed this air, he spoke our words, he sat down on mountains.
How crazy is that?

This is the beginning.
Almost anything can happen.
This is where you find
the creation of light, a fish wriggling onto land,
the first word of Paradise Lost on an empty page.
Think of an egg, the letter A,
a woman ironing on a bare stage as the heavy curtain rises.
This is the very beginning.
The first-person narrator introduces himself,
tells us about [...]

“Transubstantiation is a very interesting, very metaphysically sophisticated, very unnecessary MEANS for a very important and very true FACT, that the body and the blood are the bread and wine.” – My friend
In this post, I am not going to do several things.
I am not going to argue that transubstantiation is Biblically-accurate. The Catholic Encyclopedia [...]

You know, every holiday I get home, I say hi to the family, I take a hot bubble bath, I sleep in… And then I sign online–out of habit? to visit with friends? because I have time? who knows?–only to find that no one else is online!! Every single holiday! It’s as if people have [...]

“Do not despise us too much,” Lord Arglay said. “It is our habit here to mock at what we love and contemn what we desire, and that habit has given us poets and lawgivers and saints.”
Many Dimensions, Charles Williams
