About Me

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."
-Philippians 1:21
"For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor."
-Galatians 2:18
-------------------------------------------------
"You should've loved me. That's all I mean, we should've made promises to each other and kept them, like vows, and we should've unzipped each other and crawled inside and been honest and true and loving, just loving, all the time and we should've done everything we didn't do. We should've taught each other things. We should've had Christmas together--is that silly? Eat lobster and open the presents and make love and go to church and believe in God and make love again and light candles on the tree and listen to records and have oyster stew at midnight and go to bed and smell the pine needles and sleep and wake up and still be together. It's a little sad, isn't it? It's sad that we could've been so happy."
-from The Nuclear Age by Tim O'Brien

push it back?

I found this article interesting. Seems that a bunch of college presidents got together to push for the drinking age to be moved back to 18. It's definitely weird to me that you can be a legal adult i...
