Seeing God All Around Us


Everyone is seeing the image of Christ in food these days.  I wanted to jump on the bandwagon by sharing my story.  Let's just think of this as looking for the hand of God in my daily life.

One of my buddies, gave me a great hair cut today.  If you ask me who cut my hair, I'm suppose to ask you "Do you like it?" And if you say yes, then I am allowed to tell you; it was Randy.

Anyway, when he was finished, we noticed that one side of my hair looked a little wonkie. There was a dark splotch. At first, I thought it was a birth mark but after we both took a closer look, it ended up being a patch of hair still patted down from a baseball cap I was wearing earlier.

If you enlarge the pic and squint, you can see Jesus.
Later, I took a look at it in the mirror and beheld a miracle. From a certain angle, I could clearly make out the likeness of Jesucristo!

It was a comforting moment for me because it was just then that I was feeling very much alone since my last roommate had moved out earlier that morning. Despite being fully furnished, my apartment feels so empty.

Thanks to the little reminder matted into the side of my head, I realize that I am never alone and that my happiness in independent of the weather, how many funny pictures I have stored on my hard drive, or the whereabouts of my past and future roommates.

This is the 512th comic by xkcd.

    Is this cartoon your own handiwork or did you find it somewhere in cyberspace?

    So did you leave the longer patch as a reminder, or shave it down to size?

    Great cartoon. Like it was written for you.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
