So in lieu of a post of any substance, here's my upcoming blogging prospectus for those of you who are even remotely interested:
- Gonna wrap up my Serve God, Save the Planet review that I left open-ended (plus I'm gonna throw in a film review of a recent documentary that seriously caused me to pause.)
- Gonna get a few thoughts out on the concept of "population" and pose a few related questions that are rolling around in my head.
- Gonna get a series of posts going on the concept of "non-violence," which will likely included meanderings from Fight Club, to Jared Diamond, to my childhood fist-fights, to Darfur, to James Bond, to the Revolutionary War, to Jesus Christ, to Transformers, to Uganda, to the Forbidden City, to the Mennonite tradition. Yikes, how am I going to make sense of all that?? I have no idea... but tune in to find out!!:-)

Okay, I'll leave you with a haiku (the beloved poetic form of my buddy, Justin;-)... because, really, what else would I leave you with??
Head Cold Pansy
Sinus explosion
Wishing for softer tissues
Snot... tremendous snot.

Have you read Nagler's "Is There No Other Way? A Search for NonViolence"?
Love the haiku.
Are you reading Jared Diamond? I've just started Guns, Germs and Steel. Its pretty hot so far.
That haiku is disgusting. You are a pansy.
My wife has started "Serve God, Save the Planet" - I'll tell her about your must read commentary when she's done.
What's that book about, Justin?
@ Jamie: No, I haven't read that book, but it definitely looks interesting. I've added it to the list (which some may claim is "black-hole," but I'm trying hard to a keep it a list that I actually work through:)
@ Justin: No, I'm not currently reading any Diamond. My thoughts are going to extend from a radio interview that I heard with him maybe two years ago regarding his book Collapse. Let me know how GG&S strikes you... I've heard a lot of good things.
@ Jake: You are a pansy.
