You’re arguing over what?!?!?

So Erin and I were on our way to utilize a common commodity at a local gas station……air. Yes, a simple thing that keeps our tires inflated and what we breath.

So I pull into the parking lot and I see a couple people near the air dispenser talking. I figured, they know each other and are talking. WRONG! I get out of the car to fill up the tire, and I get attacked! They are yelling at me! Apparently there was a line to get air. Was anyone getting the air, or pulling forward? No! They were arguing! They were fighting over air! Didn’t we learn this lesson in kindergarten? I think its called sharing.

Moral of the story…….don’t fight over something thats free. It makes you look like a fool. And if you are fighting over the free thing, don’t yell at the person who is utilizing the free thing while you are arguing with someone about it, nothing good can come from that.

I got this from Kurt

What’s your theological worldview?created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Emergent/PostmodernYou are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Grad School

Posted in Life, Programming, School on January 6th, 2008 by brandon – 1 Comment

Tomorrow I start a new phase of my academic life. I am enrolled as a graduate student at Kennesaw State University. I will take me approximately 5 semesters to attain my M.S. in Computer Science.

Am I crazy? I may be. I’m even taking the thesis option! That is a huge freakin research project that I have to defend! However, I think I’ve narrowed down my field of study to something that interests me quite a bit. Who knows, I might discover something that changes something in the world of Computer Science. I’m excited to start this and then ponder where I will go to work on my Ph. D. or Sc. D.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tomorrow will also be the 6 month anniversary of being married to my wonderful wife :) Its also my parent’s 25 year anniversary. Wow, a lot of stuff is happening tomorrow.

Well, its off to Petsmart and to the grocery store soon.
