Perpetual Thursday Ramblings, Rantings, Nonsense, and Bunk
I'm Back... Away?
Monday, September 05, 2005
well, I'm back from vaction. It was a load of fun. I'm also away again. Ok, not quite the same as before, this time I'm just at Grandma's for a few days.
Now, I would talk all about vaction, but I'm going to wait for two reasons. 1) To keep you in suspence and force you to come back. 2) Beacuse I want to show picutres of it and they are at home.
I'll still talk a bit about it however, and I'll talk about some other stuff too.
I love the beach. I could sit and look out at the ocean for hours, if it weren't for the tide filling my swim trunks with sand. I got a lot of pictures. Birds, the ocean, us. We went all over the place. We visited the Battleship North Carolina, Fort Fisher, The Aquarium at Fort Fisher, and the Beach, as well as sevral resturants and what not. We took a ferry from Kure Beach, where we stayed, to Southport. There we took a trolly tour of the historic (and expensive) town. We also visited a maritime museum there. Full details, pictures, and my ramblings will be online when I get the chance. Probably an upcomming weekend. Maybe not this one, though, as I'll be at King's Island... Perhaps I'll post more story tommrow night and worry about the pictures later.
Now, I should probably talk about the situation in New Orleans, and that whole area. Sadly, I don't have too much to say about it. Watching the news reports about it makes me sick, half beacuse of the horror, half beacuse of the morons delivering the news and the morons they interview.
I would also talk about gas prices. But I don't drive.
Another huge reason I'm not going to devote too much time to either of these subjects is that every other person on earth will. There are a lot of people who know more (and less) about these issues than myself, and thus I'll leave the talking about them to them. If, however, I find any partiularly interesting people talking about it, I'll link to them. Here's one to start, it's nn eyewittness account of the situation in Mississippi:

http://cathcon....wyd-mass.htmlIt's another blog's lovely entry on World Youth Day.
Sarcasm: I really wish I could have gone.
Also, here are a few pictures I've found of the event:

A few more links for you all:
http://www.newoxfordreview.org/adgallery1.jspThe New Oxford Review's onlind gallery of advertisements. Always fun to read.

Anyway, that's all for this moment, more vacation, work problems, opinions, ramblings, rantings, and Perpetual Thursdays later.
P.S. Albert Skimberd fans, get ready for
