For to us a child is born,
To us a son is given,
And the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  –Isaiah 9:6

“The days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“When I will raise up to David a righteous Branch,
A King who will reign wisely
And do what is just and right in the land.” –Jeremiah 23:5

Today in the town of David
A Savior has been born to you;
He is Christ the Lord.  –Luke 2:11

I have a feeling that I will soon be in the doghouse with just about everyone that I know here in Connecticut. You see, I haven’t hung out with anyone (except one person). They’re probably thinking that I don’t want to talk to them or spend time with them or that I’m a jerk or a combination of those things. These conclusions would make sense, drawing from the apparent circumstances and my personal history.

Ah, much better. So it seems that FreeServers was in the process of a server migration and that my site was affected by a DNS error. This is a technical way of saying that at some point as they were upgrading their stuff they screwed up. Thankfully the data wasn’t lost, just misplaced. For all the people (or person) affected by this I do apologize for the inconvenience.

This is yet another example of why I love Joe Chandler (taken from his AIM profile).

There are two steps you need to follow in this life:

Step One
Shrug it off.

Step Two
Transcend.

Now these two concepts might seem odd at first; the former appears to be an excuse for lethargy and the latter masquerades as if it were not an existential actualization. I tell you, foolish reader, that you could not be further from the truth.  If truth were Nigeria, you would be in the Philippines– which is nowhere near Nigeria.

The first part requires detachment from worry.  The second is simply seeking out a life greater than oneself.

Wow.  You probably feel pretty dumb now, having questioned two integral parts to understanding the remainder of your existence.  It’s alright– simply shrug it off and transcend.

One week of Christmas break is done already! That’s not good. At all. I don’t ever want to go back.

Though I’m not sure why. I got my grades on Thursday and I did a lot better than I thought I was going to do. I got an A in Christian Apologists. Let me rephrase that: I got an A in the most important class I will take for my undergraduate degree. Never in a million years did I think I would pull an A. Other class turned out good too. I got an A- in Spanish, a B in Microeconomics, and a B in Financial Markets (somehow). I’m on a hot streak all of a sudden. My overall GPA is up to a 3.4. I’m amazed at the grace God’s pouring out on my grades. I’m waiting for someone to tell me it’s a typo.
