Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Thanksgiving break turned out to be pretty decent.  I worked most of the day Wednesday, but that was fine.  Then Tara flew in that night, which of course was the highlight of the day.  We went from the airport to a bar in Benson to meet up with Elizabeth who happened to be visiting from…

There is a week and 2 days until Thanksgiving break.  It seems so short, yet also seems like forever.  Why does it seem like forever?  Because Tara is coming back to visit.  Oh yeah.  The only downside of that is that she’ll probably make me shave the “beard” I’ve been working on.  That’s right, its…

I wish I could write posts more like Amanda.  She always comes up with something quirky (took me 5 tries to get that spelled correctly) to write about.  As for me, I have a hard time deciding what to write about.  Bitching about school every damn post can get old.  Also, it seems like I’m…

So we have this pastoral intern at the Lutheran Center on campus whose name is Renae.  She’s a recent seminary graduate, so she can’t be much older than I am.  Often times, a bunch of us go out to the bar after wed. night service, and she and her husband also come.  It’s always a…

I feel like my posts are vastly different than most of the others that I have not yet taken the full plunge out of school and into adulthood.  School work continues to be my biggest angst.  The semester is nearly half over already, but I kind of wish it would go a bit faster.  The…

So I was happy with the weekend.  Friday: Beta Sig alumni BBQ, fantastic stories–evidently you could get away with a lot more back then.  Saturday: Beta Sig Alumni best ball golf tourney–18 holes was a bit too many though, then somewhat watched the game downtown, Barry’s afterwards, then Drew’s.  I’m pretty I was with some…

Classes have started and I already have a final…for a summer indy study, but still a final.  Oh well.  I went out to Salt Lake City last week to get Tara settled in.  It’s so beautiful out there.  She’s got mountains right behind her campus.  We even climbed one.  Why did I go to UNL…

I was not completely happy with any of the Beatles greatest hits albums out there currently, so I went through the entire discology and compiled my own.  Here it is.  Let me know if you think I missed something.

Work is rocking my face off this summer.  One of the other electrical engineers moved to Greenbay.  It was sad that he had to leave, and he was a good friend of mine, but now I’ve taken over all his leftover projects and have a lot more responsibility.  People are coming up to me saying…
