It's been a long time...

I have become very busy in the past six or so weeks... so much so that I have not logged in here! All I can say is, "He's baaaaack...."

I've decided that the "right questions" suffer from what my computer would call a "fatal error" and need to be restarted or replaced. I am opting for the latter. The questions missed the point, too often trying to say, "Whatever you feel is just fine... you're OK," all the while trying to baptize this is so much new-age bullshit. (No, Pablo, how do you really feel... don't hold back, now...).

I have to admit that I am disgusted with the Gospel according to Melvin. Shoddy theology and heavy-handed harmonization of the synoptic gospels has always been a sore-spot for me. The three synoptics and John all come from different times and have different contexts. They are not attempting to present a chronology but use metaphor and poetry to tell truth, much in the same way that Plato used dialogs rather than a history book to present Socrates. Mel should stick to his action flicks, he is no theologian.

School is good. Too busy, though.

Personal life is good... I will need to review my resolves again soon (this weekend?). Music has been difficult. Lots of stuff that has been beyond my control, the most pressing of which is that my drummer has a rather severe injury to his wrist. I've been writing a lot of music, not all of which is depressing!

Really, that is all that is happening, all the news that is fit to print. Maybe I could arrange a crisis to make my postings more interesting!
