Well. As I said Edwards is coming to town. I was set to volunteer, I even hung out last night for 1/2 an hour hearing what I was supposed to do, even the head of the College Dems didn't go to that. And now it turns out I'm not on any list. I was blown off first by the Carry Oregon guy, which was to be expected. Then Kevin (a great guy), the head of the CD's, stepped in to help me get on the list and the person coordinating the event went bouncer on me. I'm really disappointed. I mean I am the Events coordinator and I can't even volunteer at the one major event on campus!
Edwards better amaze me.

Edwards is coming, Edwards is coming!
And I'm going to be helping out. I'll be ushering or something to that effect. Should be great fun.
Peace,

Saw Mike Barnet at the poetry night
He was really good. He is like a mix between Bruce Springsteen and KRS-One. Good stuff. I got to shake the man's hand and tell him he did a good job, he responded in kind, saying my poetry I had done was good. A very cool guy. I'm glad he came to the University of Oregon.
Peace,

My thoughts on Bush's back box
The whole political world is spinning about the possibility that Bush cheated at the first debate, and possibly at the second as well. My thought is that this isn't true, for the simple fact that BUSH SHOULD HAVE DONE B ETTER! Bush really stunk up the first debate, so if he was getting messages played into his ear they must have been more of a distraction than a help. Still, if he is cheating he should pay the price for it.

A good day!
Saw Veterans for Peace on campus today. Also saw 2 people that were actually shot at Kent State! It was crazy, the FBI/CIA hounded them, guns were planted on people. It sounds like it was REALLY wierd.

D+D questions
Well, after a summer off I'm back to asking the questions.
Here are this weeks.
D+D
Is logic necessary for belief in God?
Is scripture the inerrant word of God or the inspired word of God? Why?
How does Jesus’ divinity really work? For example did Jesus lust?
When it comes to politics what are "Christian issues?"
What types of musical instruments are positive during worship?
What are current forms of idolatry?
Also here are some thoughts on the vp debates and this and this.

Edward's best moment in the debates
Was when he hit Cheney's record, where he voted against, "Meals on Wheels for seniors, Headstart, a Martin Luther King federal holiday and calling for the release of Nelson Mandela."
Brief rant
What do you do when you feel as if you have been slighted? What do you do when you have put years into something and you are still treated like an outsider?
I feel like this too often. Today at the college Dems meeting I was going to hang out with my fellow directors and this guy just steps in front of me and pretty much asks me why I’m still there after the meeting. I felt like saying, "Well, I don’t know who you are, but I’m Director of Events with the College Democrats and I was going to hang out and talk with the other Directors, now get off my ass." Another example, for the most part I am still an outsider at the church here in Eugene that I have attended for the last 2 years! I've taught these people's children about GOD, yet they have no bloody clue who I am.
I don’t know, I sometimes feel that throughout my whole life I have failed to foster relationships to the point that I am just an interesting face in the crowd, not someone that people would actually like to know on more than a forced to be around/work related level, and honestly that is kind of depressing.
I know this whole condition is brought on by, among other things, my own innate bookishness, but I still wish I had relationships nourished to the point that they could spring out with a certain amount of spontaneity.

I have the internet again
Gotta love Christus House's wireless network.
So, back to the camping of a week ago. We ended up going spelunking(sp) it was great fun. Six of us made it to the bottom (by the way the only female of the group happened to be Lutheran, mad props to Eva!).
I've been through a week of classes. I've cooked for myself. I've gotten really good at making cheesesteaks (we'll I will be off in Philly in a year or 2).
Not much else going down, I need to clean the living room before tomorrow.
Oh, DEAN, I almost forgot. He was on campus, he kicked some butt, gave me a wink and a nod. Also, the debates, Kerry won, no doubt. Bush mentioned he was working hard 11 times. I think he was scared, and I think he was scared rightfully so.
Peace,
Chris
