book review: The Evolution of God

onefinemess | March 28, 2010

The Evolution of God by: Robert Wright Yep, you guessed it – the reason I haven’t written a book review in…at least a month was that I’ve been reading nonfiction.  Yes, a single nonfiction book, even one that I generally enjoy and am interested in, will grind down my pace of reading 15fold (2 days->30).  [...]

paying for immediacy

onefinemess | February 16, 2010

I want it now. To speak at you, and you at me only speak of my issues please only please, and instantly; my needs. I can’t help but wish I had prepared myself in youth with patience and OH.  I had it; gonenow and OH.  PS disregard those texts I was drunk. ————————————————- Oh wait, [...]

No, being a child molester is NOT the same as being gay

onefinemess | October 22, 2009

Let’s take a trip down shit-logic lane, shall we? Man molests pre-pubescent boy. Therefore, man must be attracted to males. Therefore, man is gay. Therefore, all/most gays are child molesters. Now, of course we can all point out the obvious logical fallacy involved in traversing the gulf between steps 3 and 4, right? If not, [...]

what I wish I’d gotten my degree in:

Archaeology. Because shit like this this, blows my mind. Seriously, click that link, and read the story. It is amazing. Thousands of years older than the pyramids?  Wow. You don’t have to believe the theories that people are coming up with to realize the find is absolutely amazing.  What’s weird is that it took me [...]

politics lesson for the year: avoid pastors?

onefinemess | May 27, 2008

Seriously, because if you dig hard enough, you can find most of them saying something stupid.  Not that Obama or McCain couldn’t have chosen better – it’s not hard to find either of their relevant pastors saying something not-media-smart.  Of course there is a slight difference in that Obama actually attended Wright’s church for years, [...]

publicly funded Muslim school in Minnesota?

onefinemess | April 11, 2008

Sneaky! I shouldn’t even have to point out that I have nothing against Muslims, but religion should have nothing to do with American schools. We went through allllllll that hooplah about standard “American” Christian prayer in schools…and we’re letting them force the entire student body to partake in religious activities on school grounds? And, my [...]

crazy Muslims

onefinemess | February 25, 2008

So Pakistan is trying to block youtube – joining some illustrious company (China I think) – evidently over the same fucking Muhammed cartoons from Denmark that caused a fuss how long ago? I don’t even remember. I love that the US articles covering the story reprint the cartoon. Fucking awesome. Crazy religious fanatics – did [...]

Two interesting stories from This American Life

onefinemess | February 19, 2008

OK, so I know white people love public radio, so I guess I’m just a stereotype. But hey, I started watching the TV version on Netflix-online the other night, finished all those, then moved on to some of the radio shows. There are so freaking many though, you have to pick and choose. I’ve gone [...]

Links! Not sausage.

onefinemess | February 1, 2008

Let’s get the politics crap out of the way first. First off, random quote from a post on a news article I saw somewhere: A week or so ago I heard Rush Limbaugh play a sound clip on his show in which Obama used the word, “intentionality.” Limbaugh went on to make fun of Obama [...]

last links of 2007

onefinemess | January 6, 2008

Here’s the last of what I had in my links collection. It was getting unruly, figured might as well start over at the edge of a new year. Although, as others would point out, the changing of the dates doesn’t really mean anything. Still, symbolic gestures can be useful. Long ass essay – I forget [...]
