What the Duck?

So, Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame decided to speak his mind on sin during a magazine interview. I can honestly say I don't watch the "reality" show nor have any interest in doing so but, I am tired of seeing people boohoo about A&E "violating" Phil's freedom of speech.

You have been warned...

"*Warning* *Warning* *Warning* This year on the 13th celebration of Howl-O-Scream the Gardens will go DARK.." 

Jesus is coming.. Look BUSY!!

So apparently the "devout believers" only have a couple of days left on this third rock from the sun. What does that mean for the people that are not "taken home"? I think it's time for a list to help the rest of the world come to grips with the mass exodus that is supposed to happen on 5-21-2011.

End of Smallville

While a two hour series finale was cool I came away disappointed with the answer to the "no tights no flights" clause in the show. It could have been done much better and I feel a tad cheated.

Who still plays HALO Reach?

Is HALO Reach still a popular game to play? Has COD Black Ops become the must have for online play leaving HALO in the dust? Hopefully I can find a good enough answer as I play both to determine which one has a better interaction online. Share your thoughts..

New year

A new year, a new design, and hopefully more updates to fill this page.

Without further ado; here's the first of 2011..

The Kinect: All I can say is "WOW". This piece of tech from Microsoft has made the Wii look archaic and the Move look like a kiddie toy.

Something to think about on Christmas

Why do many Christians celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, if that is not when he was born?

The date was chosen by the Roman Catholic Church. Because Rome dominated most of the “Christian” world for centuries, the date became tradition throughout most of Christendom.

The original significance of December 25 is that it was a well-known festival day celebrating the annual return of the sun. December 21 is the winter solstice (shortest day of the year and thus a key date on the calendar), and December 25 is the first day that ancients could clearly note that the days were definitely getting longer and the sunlight was returning.

So, why was December 25 chosen to remember Jesus Christ’s birth with a mass (or Communion supper)? Since no one knows the day of his birth, the Roman Catholic Church felt free to chose this date. The Church wished to replace the pagan festival with a Christian holy day (holiday). The psychology was that is easier to take away an unholy (but traditional) festival from the population, when you can replace it with a good one. Otherwise, the Church would have left a void where there was a long-standing tradition, and risked producing a discontented population and a rapid return to the old ways.
