Church
I went to Church this Sunday.
At first I was bored, because it was incredibly boring (obviously) and because all that everyone seemed to talk about was General Conferences, which i did not watch because i had better things to do last weekend (like sleep) And i really didn’t care about what they were talking about.
But [...]

Yellow Eyes
Castiel threw Dean back into the past.
As it turnd out, once upon a time, John Winchester was a naive civilian and Mary Winchester was a Hunter.
I have no idea who it took more by surprise, me or Dean.
Anyway, as it turns out, Mary made a deal with Azazel, or Yellow Eyes. Yellow Eyes would bring [...]

Three Things on The State Press
Three things managed to get my attention in the State Press today. I suspected that like every other day, the school newspaper would have a an article of interest, an engaging cross word, the always awesome Non-Sequitor comic and a bunch of bullshit. I was right.

They ranged from just a “creepy” to extensive [...]

After a boring Anthropology test, I skipped BIO100 class (yeah i know, and i don’t care) and a mostly (except for a little brain tease and a chapter of the Baghavad Gita) boring ENG class. I ran into ASU’s crazy preacher and a disappointing trip to the library, i finally got home [...]

Supernatural Season Four
Its fall, and most of the TV seasons are starting up, one I watch often, aside from Heroes, is Supernatural.
Season Four kicked off with a nice new twist that has my best friend raving in anger, and me smiling like an idiot.
Dean was brought back from hell by an Angel, Castiel to be exact, the [...]

Why the Tao Te Ching (daodeking) Can Never Be Briefly Disscussed.
First day of ENG101 (yes, i am picking on the class again!, but I bring this up again for a reason, as previously mentioned, born in my ASB102 class)We had a small discussion about Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. One student said that one chapter in particular (Chapter 3: Hushing in Ursula K. LeGuin’s translation, [...]
