lem's been

I think I know why we've heard so little from lem.

is there no one who values courage over life?

Yes, it's true. There is a Mega-Man rock opera.

Check it out.

Pretty cool.

interesting post

I thought this was almost funny:

"Philosophy

Every time I fill and subsequently empty my teacup, it gets a little more dirty and scaled. I am not convinced, however, that it learns from the experience at all. Such is the desperate state of the inanimate.

And how much more grave the animate who similarly cannot learn constructively from such experiences as he regularly suffers, whether the consequential grime be to his detriment or that of his neighbour." posted by: this person.

Prayer Request

My grandfather is very ill, and my Mom has gone to Nevada to be with him. It may be that he is finally nearing the end (last night they gave him 24 hours or less, but he is apparently doing much better today).

Anyway, prayer would be appreciated either for his health or for the Grace of God in bringing him speedily and happily into eternal bliss. And then, for the comfort of the whole family. Especially for his wife (my grandmother) and his three daughters (of whom my mother is one). This is a very hard time for them already!

Yngwie J. Malmsteen is a minor deity when it comes to spitting out awesome riffs. You just have to try to ignore the fact that the cover of one of his albums features him attacking a three-headed dragon with his guitar.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
