Low5's Xanga

Opinion Poll

I know there are a few of you who still use Xanga right?

Do you think it is rude to ask a host or busboy or even another waiter for things at dinner (like ketchup or for the check) or should you only ask YOUR waiter?

Does it matter if it is at a "Denny's" type restaurant or at a "Ruth's Chris Steakhouse" type of restaurant?

I'm off the market!!

I signed up for this online account which is similar to PayPal in that you can send money to people via e-mail (if they also have a Revolution Money Exchange account. You don't earn interest on the $ in there, but hey, it's free $, so that's kinda like a bazillion % interest rate right?

Anyways, I got this offa the gotapex site and he already got his $525 free, so we'll see how many people we can get on board. check it out. - Jon

to clarify my last post... in the long term, it looks like Sac won't be in our future... in the short term (next 1-2 years?) it is where we will be.

Christmas :)

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 20:02:03 GMT

This year I had a very nice Christmas. My mom, dad, Joe, Serene's mom & dad, auntie carmen, uncle steve, jennifer, and our friend holly came over to Serene's for dinner. It was a lot of work getting prepared, but it was a very enjoyable time.

The next day i had to work tho :(

Serene calls: "I went a little crazy. I need you to come down here with the truck."

She did get some pretty good deals tho.

No Golden Compass for Me

I ALSO saw the preview for the Golden Compass and I was thinking about watching it. However, I changed my mind because I saw the following posted on Peter's xanga and read up on it:

Bottom line: the message is not good

> Dear Church Family,
>
> There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The Golden
> Compass". The movie has been described as "atheism for kids" and is based on
> the first book of a trilogy entitled "His Dark Materials" that was written
> by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist who
> despises C. S. Lewis and the "Chronicles of Narnia". His motivation for
> writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis' symbolisms of
> Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.
>
> Clearly, Pullman 's main objective is to bash Christianity and promote
> atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a
> 2003 interview that "my books are about killing God." He has even stated
> that he wants to "kill God in the minds of children". It has been said of
> Pullman that he is "the writer the atheists would be praying for, if
> atheists prayed."
>
> While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the

> representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at times is called
> YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse regarding Pullman

> "The Golden Compass" is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas

> Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this

wow... i forgot about xanga.

did you know the world is running out of IP addresses? apparently, our current system can only hold 4.3 billion IP addresses and right now, we will run out within 3 years. so there's a new system being developed that will give us like 30 trillion trillion trillion (yes trillion cubed). i think it's called IPv6 or something like that.

ok, so i've been pre-occupied and haven't been able to update my xanga with "the story" as many of you had requested. i promise i will do that upon my return.

return from what? well, serene and i are in china doing some things with some students... teaching them english and about our lives. can't go into details now, but it's been a learning experience for sure.

we got here safely and are staying in dormatories at a solar panel factory. it's interesting. anyways, keep us in your thoughts and i'll update as i am able.

here's a picture of us in hong kong about to board a bus for shenzhen.
