In the beginning....

Hmmm... well, my first time of this blogdom stuff. Of course, I should be studying for this lovely Praxis II exam that is a scant 2.5 days away. But, I wouldn't be Kerry if I didn't procrastinate, no?

My Big Cogitation o' the Day? I feel like there should be one, since I'm going to all the trouble to do this. I'm watching Law and Order as I type, well, running back and forth between my living room and my bedroom. I'm rather tense about tonite's episode, since Jesse L. Martin's character, Green, gets popped by a perp's gat tonite. Dig my pole-ice lingo?

Sheesh, I've already made chocolate chip cookies, from scratch, tonite in an effort to not study Ye Olde Physicks or review the evil Kreb's Cycle.

Speaking of science, one of my new little potential hobbies is to study writings on evolution, creation, geology, and God. I found a whole banana bunch of websites dedicated to various views, and I'm eager to peruse them. It does nothing to affect my fundamental core beliefs and faith in God (i.e., I don't know exactly how God did it, how long it took, or how old the Earth really is; I simply trust that he was in charge.), but boy, does it still intrigue me. Another big new plan of mine is to become more active in environmental and social justice issues and areas of concern. I am sickened by the wussiness of the EPA and the disreputable peeps nominated for diplomatic and judicial positions in our government. And don't lemme get started on the evils of Monsanto. Happier idea: I need to get a hold of a tree to plant on Arbor Day, I suppose... but where would I put it in Charlotte of all places?

On a successful note, I got thru my li'l study of physics and astronomy tonite. Only have all the aspects of biology, earth science/meteorology, and chemistry to review. Urgh. Boy, do I have a new respect for the weatherpeeps on TV. Those squiggly lines across the weather map actually mean something!

Okay, that's a take. Over and out, yo.


Oh, a purty painting for the eyes. Exquisite to see 6 inches from my face in real life.
