You might have noticed that we've been on and on about writing. That's for two reasons. The first is because we're adding these post to our blog slowly, to make sure they don't need to be fixed and we need them as reminders to motivate us to write more. While we're doing that, we've fixed some stuff on the site and added other menus and categories. We'll be updating the about page soon too, until we're happy with it. Happier

Easter Sunday was pretty rude over the weekend. It made it's way into my apartment and stayed for a while, in the form of movies and reports about events. We like to milk topics for all they're worth but that was ridiculous and it just didn't stop! That's what it did! That's all it does! It's just as shocking as watching something play with dead animals or dead... whatever, because it's gone way past it being fun for anyone anymore, but it did make me think about this whole Jesus thing.

You wouldn't call Christians anything other than what they're all about, which is Christ. At the end of the movie "The Robe", Richard Burton is getting pushed into proclaiming loyalty to the emperor instead of Jesus, who he says is King. It's all very flashy and showy, but as he stands there defiant against Caesar's demands. He's all bronze and dressed in his armor; a Christian soldier ready for battle. It was a good way to take us into the ending and easier to accept being that he was walking around with the dude in the story.

It's only when there's a balance of everything that makes for good film making that I can be a little more convinced that this guy is in a better position to stand his ground than Christians today. Like I said, he was there.

But Sunday morning I caught some of the broadcast of the pope's Easter celebration. All too formal for me, so it seems like that should be the next thing he works on. You know, lowering the volume on ritual. None of this has anything to do with the image. It's just the one I made today. Shows you what kind of person you're dealing with. Right?

Here are some updates since our last beat down.

“The internet is a much bigger writing pad than you think”
