Musings on Mormonism

To my dear, faithful readers,

Don’t worry, I’m still alive! I recently moved out to the DC area, but, sadly, have been without computer as I wait for it to arrive in the mail. But fear not! Lots of deep thoughts and cool posts are forthcoming on topics such as why I don’t like Barack Obama, philosophical musings about the job market, and my initial impressions of the LDS singles scene here ( hint: it’s a bit of a meat market). How fun!

Just a quick blurb right now. I currently have cable in my house, which allows me to be connected to all the great newsy shows out there, and one of those shows I often stumble across in my channel flipping is Glen Beck’s program on CNN Headline News. I was looking up some info on him at Wikipedia, the authoritative source of everything informational, and  frankly find the guy a little intriguing. Having dealt with family tragedies and his own substance abuse to get where he is now speaks a lot for the man. I also like these quotes:

“God stalked me like he had a giant baptismal rifle,” Beck said. “I thwarted him. I led people astray as much I could but he kept putting Mormons in my way.”

(Haha, baptismal rifle!)

“I am a conservative who doesn’t happen to be a Republican”

(I can respect that)
