(Jesus is the one on the right.)
So maybe it’s not such a big deal that whites draw Jesus as white even though he was from the Middle East. However:
Since last night, my computer’s been on the fritz: I had copied a few files to the desktop, and all of a sudden, explorer.exe started closing and re-opening every few seconds. This meant that the desktop icons are continuously flashing, rendering them unusable, and I couldn’t access the start menu or do any Windows key commands. (I wanted to at least pull up the run program deal. Like a fool, I forgot this was accessible through the Task Manager.)
So what did I try? Restarting in safe mode. Rolling back a couple system restore points. Repairing Windows XP. Checking the task manager and making sure that there weren’t any weird processes. Almost doing a full system virus scan. I probably spent 3 hours over 2 days working on this.
So how did I resolve it? Delete the items I’d just copied to the desktop. Duh.
I’d be very interested to know why it happened, but I’ll just be satisifed with a working machine for tonight.
Women don’t have the same exact taste in men (as a couple of my female friends have so starkly demonstrated). But there are some things a majority of women seem to appreciate. Like being able to be strong, but reasonably sensitive. And not being shaped like Manuel Uribe.
Remember that judge who’s suing those dry cleaners for millions of dollars? Well, the case has started, and he’s demonstrated a level of sensitivity most women wouldn’t care for:
Pearson also called himself as a witness, saying his problems began in May 2005 when he brought in several suits for alterations. A pair of pants from a blue and maroon suit was missing when he requested it two days later. He said Soo Chung tried to give him a pair of charcoal gray pants.
As Pearson explained that those weren’t the pants for the suit, he choked up and left the courtroom crying after asking Bartnoff for a break.
Maybe God isn’t so harsh after all.
According to the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), when you give to the church, you get. You get a new car. A better job. Riches:
But while many Pentecostal churches preach that God will bless those who make sacrifices — both financial and spiritual, few are as explicit as UCKG, which teaches poverty is unnecessary, and holds special “campaigns” to pray for specific “goals”, like a new car, house or even swimming pool.
They’ve got a point. Jesus must have meant that “blessed are the poor” stuff for those other Christians.
They aren’t afraid to take a page out of the Church of Scientology’s playbook if it means advancing the Word of God:
It has sued several media organizations for publishing what it says are false allegations and warned Reuters it was not afraid to use legal action to correct a “negative story”. When this reporter jotted down a few notes during a UCKG service an usher demanded to see them, and threatened arrest when he was refused.
I was kinda hoping for a Prius rather than a Navara, but beggars can’t be choosers. So to speak. Jesus isn’t going to let me be a beggar.

It looks like North Korea has slightly more firepower than we thought:
At approximately 11:20 P.M. EST North Korea changed the world forever. Using an advanced space missile that the world has yet to even wrap their mind around, the North Koreans showed of [sic] their firepower to the world by hitting the moon.
If it seems like the man in the moon has a extra few zits, now you know why.
