Primus Blogus
Well, Douglas, I hope you're happy. No, but really its not for you, is more or less so that I can write out my thoughts for my own enjoyment as well as that of others, and hopefully not so much help people procrastinate as possibly help them think about things, deep or shallow, maybe get a chuckle from time to time.
So, today is a usual day up in the Megalopolis (a.k.a. downtown OKC), bustling with shops, services. Somedays I have to wait a whole 10 seconds before crossing the 5-lane street to the building where I work. Today was not one of those days, though. But I did eat my lunch at the Myriad Gardens and read some thoughts by brother Lawrence whilst chomming and enjoying the sunshine. They were good thoughts. I find his simplicity convicting. One quote I particularly liked is as follows:
"He (Lawrence) believed that God is much greater than any of the simple gifts He gives us. Rather than desiring them from Him, he chose to look beyond the gifts, hoping to learn more about God Himself. Sometimes he even wished that he could avoid receiving his reward so that he would have the pleasure of doing something solely for God."
"Oops," I thought. This doesn't so much describe me as not describe me.

Laura,
Congrats for joining the Blogosphere - I hear there are like, 8 million full-time bloggers in the US or something like that. (Go NPR!) But yeah! I was looking at your links, and saw that a few were missing....like, what if i'm on your webpage, and some insane breaking news happens? Like, what if they solve the Michael Jackson case?!?! What ever would I do? Well, i'd go to the news of course! So, on your links, i'd definitely add foxnews.com - after all, they're fair and unbiased. I think you also need some humor...and while mulletmadness.com might be humorous, i'd add something like rushlimbaugh.com. Cause, he's funny, cause liberals are stupid. They're so wishy washy, and Rush uses great words like flip-flop and waffle. However, he does make me mad, cause like, those are two of my favorite things and he's using them in a negative context. Jerk. Anywho, this isn't Griderblog 2K5...it's Stuworthyblog. So i'll leave it there. And way to name it Venerable Laurastu. Cause like, I think I made that up, didn't I? I've made a permanent impact on your life....how bad ass am I? Peace out G.
I AM PLEASED
