Beanstyle Evolution

I just posted about my birthday so I won’t put anything on that here. Other than that, things have been pretty uneventful – either positive or negative. I did manage to reconcile with my dad and I think my family relationships are much more stable than they were before. The holidays haven’t [...]

A couple of thoughts have been rolling around my head recently:

Have we proven that violence is truly not “the best way”? (thanks hcul)
Is education actually helpful to people?

Big questions for which I have no answers. I suppose most people would say the answers are intuitively “yes” and “yes” but I’m not so sure anymore. [...]

I’m not blogrolling these folks but they’ve got some interesting blogs. Check ‘em out:

I loved MS Photo Editor also

Interesting stuff, even though I’ve got my fingers crossed against ever having to work in the corporate maze again.
My life is now complete! Thanks, Emily, for guiding me to my superhero self…

I’ve haven’t been scrooge-y but I haven’t been a little Christmas elf either this year. However, I’m feeling a bit more seasonal cheer at the moment because I’m listening to my new Bing Crosby compilation of Christmas songs. No, it’s not something you can buy in a store but it’s certainly reminding me [...]

and wiped the drive and have been reinstalling everything for the last four hours. I’ve still got quite a ways to go, am getting ready to reinstall Office and that usually takes a while. Reconfiguring Outlook will probably be the biggest chunk of time – especially since my Rules settings aren’t saved & I [...]

When will religious fanatics/conservatives/fundamentalists of ANY religion finally give it over and quit trying to force their beliefs on the rest of society? Probably never but I just had to ask. Even when I was involved with southern baptist churches I couldn’t force myself to proselytize. With regard to insisting that the entire [...]
