About Me

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." ~Bertrand Russell

Tick.

I'm no permanent fixture
Waiting for your perfect gesture
To sweep me up
You lack a sense urgency
And don't see the emergency
Of my restlessness
I am not something stationary
Standing here, but only momentary
I'm on my way out

You better take to your feet
'cause I'm not taking a backseat
To this passing day

There's no string on my finger
Boy, I will not long linger
On this fleeting moment

"Ready" is a lovely fairytale
And man, I'm running like hell
Down this paved road

Yesterday, it was all or nothing
Now, we're all waiting for something
That never comes

Damn, that grass is green
Better than I've ever seen
On this side of the hill

It's all an uphill battle
And we're herded like cattle
Into a beautiful lie

Well, I'll seize my moment
When it comes, I'll know it
I won't hesitate
Or simply wait
Until it's too late

Because this life is temporary
I don't believe in contemporary
Ideas of time and space

Tomorrow is so close I can feel
What makes today so real
Is that the minutes are passing…

Tick.

College Math for Dummies

If any good can come of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, one of the very few providers of late-term abortions in the U.S., perhaps it's the opportunity to have a conversation about the reality of te...

The world has opened up before me; it slowly unfolds, revealing to me things I would never guess or imagine. In our culture, we are told our lives should follow a certain pattern. There are activi...

At one point in my life, I didn't give much thought to different details in the Bible... everyone else seemed to overlook them, so they weren't brought to my attention. I was in the middle of a Bible ...
