Songs & Such: “Love Cocoon” by Vigilantes of Love
Because I feel that my last “Songs & Such” series on the songs of Reese Roper and Five Iron Frenzy was really good (at least from my perspective) I figured that I would do another series, this time focusing on the songs of Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love.

Over the next few weeks we will be looking at a lot of songs from both Vigilantes of Love and the Bill Mallonee solo collections. Continue reading

Customer Service?
Okay, I’m sure some of you will tell me “well it’s your fault, you didn’t take the money” or something to that effect, but to me this is still just horrendous. I went to Wal-Mart to purchase a few items … Continue reading

Creation Versus Evolution
A couple of weeks ago a “Creation Museum” opened up containing artifacts that help prove several Creationist ideas, including (but certainly not limited to) the idea that man and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. And just so there is full disclosure here, I want to point out that I’m a Creationist, I believe that God created the world in seven days. However, I am not going to debate facts here today, instead I want to look at some issues that concern me. Continue reading →
