Aha! You’ve seen the pattern. Who says you aren’t genius? Okay, so when I finally get around to blogging I feel the need to tell you everything I think you ought to know that I have been saving just for you. But, I don’t want to put it all in one post because that would be too long and you’d get bored. And so is born the phenomenon of two-posts-in-one-week-and-then-no-posts-in-six-months.

Yesterday, I drastically improved your life by informing you of music you ought not live without (you’re welcome); today, I intend to improve your life by telling you about a blog that will make your life scintillate (that’s right, scintillate). Again, you must not cease and desist when I tell you it is written by my brother because a little logic will tell you that if you like my blog, chances are you’ll like his; I will admit that we are quite different (he is, after all, studying some kind of science that I have no comprehension of and he likewise thinks religion is for the kookies (yes I did just make a noun out of an adjective) in the world), but we are genetically related so our natural abilities are obviously similar (obviously), which is my way of saying that he can write better than I (point in fact, he named his blog nuggets of nugacity and I had to look the second word up). Plus, he posts far more frequently than I do (that last part might have something to do with the blog being a class assignment). At any rate, it’s not all science on his blog and what science is there is  popular and fascinating – like this recent post on a fish that hops with a fin and looks drunk. Plus, he posts a lot of videos, and he keeps abreast of interesting stories so that I don’t have to. Overall, it’s a very handy (and amusing) service he provides and you would be remiss not to subscribe.

And then I thought about it some more and I thought, wait a minute, does this mean that evangelical Christians are in the army because of their faith? Are they connected? Is this another manifestation of Manifest Destiny? Is there a prevalent belief among those serving that God is leading them into battle or calling them to protect our fair land with arms? And if so, is this so very different from those in Islam who are fighting for that very reason but are called terrorists?

I will admit to being a little brain-dead from staring at my computer and books for so long, and I am quite hungry at the moment, which has always been known to impair my judgment, so perhaps I am missing something obvious, in which case you can feel free to go ahead and point it out in the comments. Or perhaps you were already aware of this in which case you can shame me for not keeping up with the news (normally I procrastinate with TV, hence this library sit-in). Either way – there you have it.
