Book Review and… October 2, 2006
So it is that time of the year where your body just shuts you down no matter what. I was coming off track nationals with good form and was wondering how this would effect my training. But Then my body checked the calender and decided it would be sick. So in my spare time I did a little reading. I kept seeing the Da Vinci Code poping up all over. All the hype it got a few years ago made me wonder what was going on. So I picked it up. Well, it was interesting and easy to read. But all the hype? Um…right…so there was all this talk of conspiacies and plots to undermine the church. Apparently all those scholars forgot to read the cover. See right above old Mona’s left eye. A secret hidden message in plane sight. “A Novel”. For those of you not familiar with this code, it is an achient masons word for FICTION, as in made up, as in for entertainment value only. Granted all the “things” he talks about in this book are factual…but if scientific reasurch can be orginized to prove almost any theory, so art can be interpreted to do anything. So if you are going to read this book…read it for fun on a weekend when you have nothing else to do but drink tea.
Anyway it is back to training and the like this week….I did the “Run for the Cure” yesterday. Not only do my legs hurt beyond all understanding. I also determined that men only look good in pink if they are, in fact, riding for T-Mobile. Sorry Optiks team you guys just can’t cut it. Anyway look for a quiz coming down the Z-rails later this week. I was trying to make it total work free for you but, unfortunatly my html skills are not worthy of any geek squads. So it will be cosmo…errr um…I mean MENS HEALTH style. as in write down your ansewrs and look up the appropriate result. You’ll see.

Fiction? What’s that? You mean I can’t believe everything I read? I have to THINK? Oh no! What will I do? I know! I ‘ll join a CHURCH! Then I’ll be told exactly what to believe and how to act so I never have to think again! Hallelujah, I’m saved.
That is not really the point I was trying to make Jon. I guess the point is every piece of writting from blues clues to the bible have a valid ideas that are worth considering. But it all has to be considered in context. It is just a collection of ideas. It isn’t calling anyone out. If people can’t look at the ideas of others without being offended then they aren’t very confident in what they believe anyway. You don’t have to agree but if you don’t listen you never know what context your own ideas are existing in. If that makes any sense.
