It's very complicated... like a science but more like a pseudo science... but extended trial and error has led me to conclude that airports are allergic to Danelle. Kinda like how a butterfly flapping it's wings in North America can cause a hurricane in India... Danelle purchasing a ticket online can cause every airport on that day to delay flights, have hailstorms and tornado watches... and make airline companies not give us free hotel or food vouchers...
...after 3 hours waiting in line to be rerouted we're 2nd in line... and a lady to be heretofore named as sneaks... slithers in line ahead of the non-english speaking people ahead of us... Danelle being too nice... doesn't let me call sneaks out and make her go to the back of the line... and we're treated to one more lesson of why you should never be nice to anyone... (taking advantage of you) ... SOOOO... Sneaks gets helped... foreign dude gets helped... and... lady leaves and starts boarding our flight... Screwed...
...Danelle suddenly gets mad... stops sneaks... calls her out... "Just so you know that was VERY RUDE to sneak into line like that"... (SNEAKS) "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize yadda yadda whatever"... I run after the airline lady and convince her to help just one more group (us)... and we get onto our flight... and guess who's sitting in our row... SNEAKS!
...Now we're in THE DIRTY... Sharing a hotel room with a fellow San Diegoanite?... no clothes... no toothbrush... delivery pizza... pepperoni... and no ride from the airport tomorrow... but I'm excited...

Privateers 2008
I just heard how the CIA and the NSA are now going to sell contracts to private firms for information gathering and espionage... Small similarity to back in the day when countries would hire out pirates, give them some sort of shaky legal footing, and allow them to do whatever they wanted to the enemy as long as it was the enemy...
...It means no government oversight, like there really is a whole lot of that anyways... it means no need to obey certain rules that public servants might be under, such as the new torture bill that the US just passed not too long ago... it means a whole lot less caring about accidental deaths... and very possibly a whole lot more people mad at the west that might not have to be...

You Know What I Like About Baptists?
Are you prepared...
... The End is near
...A guy on the street corner holding a sign...
"...Conspiracy theorists unite...
...Look for a one-world government and one currency and all that... Wars and natural disasters... Israel being put back on the map... 1/3 of the world will go up in fire (Nuclear Weapons)... The night will be as bright as the day (Electricity)... Everyone will see Jesus at the same time (Satellites)... The power of the saints will finally be defeated... Science and the media are doing a pretty effective job of it... An army of millions and millions on horseback (China's standing army is 200 million and still rides horses)..."
... Is it too much...? ...Maybe...
... Being aware that you can die is one thing... but believing that the end is almost assure entirely different... And may backfire into... eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die... stop caring about your life past today... press the panic button... or worse yet press the big red nuclear 'button' and invite the end here even faster... self-fulfilling prophecies anyone...?
...But is Armageddon really at hand... Or are we looking too hard...?
... Think about this...
...In the Salem witch trials the pastor of the church had preached for a year on 'enemies in the church' and on witches and the occult... so when girls started having visions they immediately assumed 'enemy' and 'witch'... and they had a witch hunt...
...A few towns over the pastor had preached a year on the workings of the Holy Spirit... and when girls had visions in that town the people said it was the Holy Spirit... they had a revival... In fact the second of the great American revivals...
... So the signs are there to be read any way you want... Utopia or Armageddon...
... The End is near
... Jesus may come back tomorrow...
...What if you died tonight...
...A guy on the street corner holding a sign...
...Or a fire and brimstone pastor scaring children about hell...
,,,it's a simple message and it's meant to completely turn your world upside down...
...Because the thing is... believing the message may in fact turn your life upside down...It tells a person time is short... Live like it's your last day on earth... Get the most out of each day... Proclaim the gospel to those around you... Don't worry about hardships because they will be over soon... and especially... Don't worry about that new car or that big house cause it's going up in fire anyways...
... and then comes nuclear war and Armageddon...

...for my part I hope the Armageddon crew doesn't win.
