  The Science of God Media | (1)

  In the movie "The Truth About Cats and Dogs," Ben Chaplin (Brian) gives Uma Thurman (Noelle) "Simone de Beauvoir's Letters to Jean-Paul Sartre," and being a pretty but dumb girl, she tells him she needs to read the book with a dictionary to understand the big words. I find myself in the same situation now, not because I'm pretty or dumb, but because I picked "The Science of God" at the library, and it isn't an easy read. I was born and raised inside a very Catholic family, with strong religious values, and the conviction of a Creator. When I ...

  Words Per Minute Geeky | (1)

  Give me a challenge, and I'll probably accept it. Not that I was challenged, but my best friend asked me about those WPM typing tests and I had to go and take one. Typing speed? 78 WPM. Accuracy level? 97% -- Not bad. The test was in English. I'm looking for a Spanish one to see how I do. Update: Oh, I suck at typing Spanish!

  Nascar? OK! News | (2)

  So, after bitching about his not being a F1 pilot anymore. After trying to figure out why on earth someone would change one of these for one of these, I finally came to terms with the fact that Juan Pablo Montoya is running Nascar. And it seems like he did it good, becoming the big hero, and making his team win the 24 Hours of Daytona . Show me the money, Nascar it is.

  One Day Thoughts | (3)

  When someone breaks your heart into a million pieces, you have to start picking them up slowly. You don't think it's possible to recover and that the pain will last forever. You see yourself in the middle of a dark room, and are convinced there is no way out. Then you start seeing a little guiding light, you fight back those ugly feelings, you do what you have to do to keep going despite the pain. It takes longer than you think, and there are many setbacks. You feel like you haven't cried so much before. But then one day you ...
