So i’ve been off the grid for a little while. Actually I’ve just been lazy and haven’t updated this blog. I’ve been doing some blogging for school. You can check that out at http://tutigertech.blogspot.com. I hope to have it changed to something related to Trinity but we’re waiting on that for now. Check me out there to get the latest updates on what I’m doing through work.

For the last several days my wife and I have been dreadfully sick. We got back from Gulfcoast Getaway and within a few days fell quite ill. I have been aching all over my body, had chills, cough, sore throat, and a legion of demons coming out of me for about 5 days now. I can’t begin to tell you how long it’s been since I was this sick. I just don’t normally get this sick. Lesser mortals around me get sick it seems but I typically step over such specimens of Darwin’s Theory and carry on like anyone should. But this disease stepped up from it’s normal arena of participants and challenged me and I lost dreadfully. I have been pretty worthless unable to even read magazines or watch much television. The only solid food I’ve been able to ingest till recently were bagel bites if they can really be called solid food. But thankfully I am starting to feel better and I am able to sleep more often but I am still winded just moving around the least bit. I look forward to full health and will undoubtedly feel more compassion towards my sick brethren when I see them. Let me tell you also that ibuprofen in whatever form you can take it is a miracle drug. I was taking naproxen sodium (Aleve) with no luck but switched to ibuprofen and have seen far better results with general pain relief.

Politics is an issue that is still unsettling for me. As someone that is coming into greater discipleship to Jesus Christ everyday I sometimes wonder what my role should be in politics. But for now as my ideas continue to mature and grow I participate experimentally. For now I am very much interested in Ron Paul. He has struck a chord in me that no other candidate has up till this point and it seems I’m not alone. I’ve hesitated to write much about it due to my inadequacies in discussing the issues up until this point. (more…)

Well things have been down for a while. First off I had to change hosts and that was not a fun experience to say the least. There’s a lot involved when you change hosts a lot more than I realized. I know now why people made so much money doing this for people back in the mid 90’s. I hope to continue writing and using this as a place to throw out some ideas and share what I’ve been doing.
