I feel so stupid. I’ve been wondering why radio stations have been over playing the old song “Landslide”… It’s a dixie chicks cover of fleetwood mac… kudos to the dixie chicks… It’s been so long since I heard the original that I thought they were the same.
in other news, I’m in memphis. tried to get ahold of certain people who live in memphis, but they were busy doing stuff, I guess…
took my GMAT test… the entrance exam to get into business school… yeah, I did good… Will it help me get some sort of financial aid? We’ll find out next week when I go to starkville… I can’t wait… It’s killing me that even right now I’m closer to Deedee than I have been in months, but I still have to wait another two or three days to see her…
well… I do have some philosophical stuff to write about, but I want to finish collecting my thoughts… I took my ebookman with me on my series of flights today, and I put 10 books on there, like, red badge of courage, huck finn, tom sawyer, conneticut yankee, adv in wonderland, and a couple of others… I also put on there, Genesis and Luke, both from the King James Version of the Bible. I expected to read a connecticut yankee in king athur’s court, but instead, I started reading Genesis. What I found slightly bothered me. Now, according to my belief system, the New Testament trumps the Old, but still… I found a lot of it distrubing… Stories that I thought I knew had twists and other small nuances that were never mentioned in Sunday school. It seems to me that past the first couple of chapters, Genesis is plagued with sex. sex, incest, and I can’t think of the term for when you trade your wife for goods or services. Just look at Abraham… Abram twice told people that Sarai/sarah was his sister so they wouldn’t kill him to take her… so they just took her without killing him… then, when they found out that she was his wife, they gave him lots of riches, cattle, etc. to appologize/save themselves from God’s wrath. and it turns out that they WERE brother and sister. Abram and Sarai were half brother/sister. Same father, different mother. I’m upto Joseph so far, and so far, all of Abraham’s main line (Issac, Jacob…) have all married first cousins or closer. ::sigh:: I’m gonna have to reread this book again and again until I can make sense of it… I’m also gonna have to alternate between this and the New Testament so that I don’t get lost in the madness.
guess it’s time to sleep…
