I recently had an asignment in my Social Studies Methods class dealing with family heritage. We were supposed to pick a food that we found to best represents our familys culture (not necessarily your nationality). I’m curious what food makes you think of family?

Sorry I’ve been away for quite a while so there hasn’t been anything for new posts. I’ll try to upload something at least every other day from now on.

Oh man! I’m glad I caught this one in time. Apparently there will be a pretty spectacular meteor shower this week. They are always worth a look. More info here Leonid Meteor Shower

This has been my favorite band for some time. Their style has changed a bit over the years, but it’s all soooo good. Their album “Morning View” is the best in my opinion. Check ‘em out.

The Halo game series has some really neat stuff in it. In particular, one thing I’m a big fan of are the ship names. It got me thinking about what I would name a ship if I had one. What would you name a ship?

So, the hotel in space thing was pretty legit right? Well a friend of mine introduced me to a piece of tech that blew me away. Maybe it will take maybe it’s just a fleeting idea. Regardless, we are that much closer to the Robot Wars.

Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.

Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.
