The Thomas Chronicles

It’s been a busy few days and I haven’t been able to post anything substantial, but I thought I’d drop in and wave. I’ll have a new post up in a few.

May God shine His Light us! Let Freedom Ring Forever!

It’s been a light blogging week for me. I’ll return to more substantial blogging some time later today or over the weekend.

I’ve been tagged by the famous The Desert Glows Green.

Here are the rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was just entering college as a freshman English Lit. student.

2) What are five things on your to-do list for today?
Work on organizing a board at work.
Make tuna salad.
Complete my math homework. (I’ve returned to college recently.)
Sleep.
Make sure I give my cat at least one round of play. (She gets lonely when I’m not playing with her.)

3) What snacks do I enjoy?
Jalapeño chips.
Beef jerky.
Vanilla ice cream.

Buy a large spread of approximately 30 acres out in New Mexico, Northern Arizona or Oregon near a small town.
Build a home with a interior courtyard that’s equipped with a library and comfortable chairs.
And… I don’t know. Maybe a car?

I’m too intellectually lazy at times.
I don’t clean up after myself as often as others would like me to.
I talk too much when I get excited.

6) 5 places I have lived…

Los Angeles, CA
That’s it.

Furniture salesman.
Administrative work in the fashion industry.

7) Six suckers, er people I want to know more about…

I think I’ll refrain from tagging other blogs… for the moment

… written a sizable post and delete it afterward because you realize you were writing a bunch of bilge?

I have.

I just did.

Isn’t it funny how writing things out can illuminate the junk swimming around in your head?

As the date on my last post suggests, I haven’t been diligent on blogging lately. This is due to many reasons; not much of which is very interesting. I will be back to blogging more regularly this week.

As you have noticed, I’ve written a series of negative Obama posts of late, mostly hinging on this pseudo-messanic aura around his campaign. Needless to say, I think it a dangerous precedent for a Presidential candidate to cast himself in this manner.

Government is simple.

It defends it’s population from foreign threats. Controls its borders. Build roads and sewers. Ensure the free flow of commerce. Etc, etc, etc…

But as a change of pace, I’ll lay off the Obama campaign for a while… that is, if doesn’t do something complete outrageous…
