A couple of thoughts for a Saturday night semi-alone
“Our Hell” by Emily Haines is a good song. Basecamp is now my 1st tab in Firefox / Chrome (replacing google apps email).
“Sleepin’ Is All I Wanna Do” by the Duhks is also interesting… I don’t know whether I should be looking forward to or dreading tomorrow. I am supposed to be going mountain biking, which I am kind of dreading (for some reason – afraid of falling / afraid of being afraid). I am looking forward to going to church though.
We are going on holiday in China on wednesday – I am really looking forward to it. Memories have been cycling through my mind of experiences past in China. My wife and I have had a really nice two weeks. It has been quite restful, especially for Jus, who has been on Jury duty (and most of the time has not been called up). I had a really great day on Jus’ birthday two weeks ago; we spent the morning lounging around, then went for lunch at a really nice cafe called Konc in Labrador.
After that we went mountain biking which was really fun. I had a few falls and ripped my pants which drove me mad. The more I fell the less confident I was and kept on “sticking” on everything.
I just bought “Between the Bars” by Madeleine Peyroux, one of my all time favourite songs. I think it is an almost perfect song – symmetric in rhythm, meaning and colour, you can almost taste the atmosphere in the song. The brush drums are so gorgeous when they seem to slow down at times (do they ?!) and the opening sounds of the modified double bass (well whatever the metalling humming-bar sound is!)
Absolutely Awesome !
Particle Accelerator
Just finished my revised quote for our Church’s IT committee. My eye is getting tired and I am ready for bed. As I was finishing my quote I was listening to the story on Lateline about that huge particle accelerator thing and really felt a desire to cling to the God and to know him more. I know that he exists and just swell at the thought of him. I wish that humankind would consider God for all he is.
I looked at the scientist man and thought that he is probably 100 times smarter than I. I felt a sense of satisfaction in feeling free from the desire to scrape through the far reaches of the heavens to find meaning, especially since it can never be found there. This satisfaction was not on the basis of comparing myself to the scientist man but rather in the the sense that I was completely satisfied in my heart of hearts that I know the creator of the universe and in the satisfaction that only he can bring.
Now I am really tired.
Good Night
Aha !
We Just got back home and noted hints of a thunderstorm on the hills surrounding labrador. I had a good time at our Mission Board meeting – I am enjoying meetings and ‘management type’ tasks more and more (well rather I think I am learning how to be proficient at it).
On a technical note I am trying to figure out why bridging is not working with Vmware Workstation 6.0.4 on Linux. They have released an update today bringing it up to version 6.0.5 – perhaps I will try that sometime.
I am looking forward to going to work tomorrow and working on my client’s linux systems.
Back online
my blog is back online ! yay ! I have found a suitable host and will be monitoring it’s continued suitability. Now I can blog about God and theology and other stuff I find interesting again! Yay!
Btw it is my lovely wifey’s birthday today ! I cherish this day and am so grateful for her – I love you Jussie !
