After a long weekend, It is now back to class on a Monday morning, Ice was bad and blustery this morning but it was still a fairly decent drive. Though I was still wore out, because I partied a little this weekend, and put a few miles on my car. I drove to Anoka, Osceola, and I got lost 45miles+60miles+ (60 mile for missing my exit and being entirely enthused by music), it was dark friday night and all the signs looked the same not particularly demanding my attention. So I was making a beeline for Duluth and didn’t realize I had gone to far until I hit rush city and had to make a U turn when I found out the roads were glare ice. Its all good the darkness and the landmark I was looking for wasn’t there or I should say holiday gas stations lights were off as it was after closing hours. After turning around I finally made it to Osceola. I  went to the gas station a couple of times while I was out there and just for the sake of keeping track I then drove the hour and a half home from Osceola.

Now back to today..
I have a check list:

• Catch up all assignments in cultural math;
• Get my World Religions book and rails book
• Write Questions for World Religions and Ethics
• and complete chapter 2 questions for networking
• hopefully add the SEO Friendly URL Structure for Wordpress plug-in Here
• Get a page or something up to view my category definitions in a nice readable format.
• Ponder creating a plug-in to group categories instead of sub-categorizing
• Setup a display format similar to categories for groups.
• Add a ticket system for website enhancements and not clutter up my journal

Well it seems I haven’t been able to accomplish quite everything on my list today but it has become somewhat interesting. I was short cash to purchase my rails book but that can wait until tomorrow. I did catch up my math but was unable to turn the last assignment into the instructor because he had already left.

I was so entirely focused on what I have been doing today I just took for granted my belief that world religions started at 5:00 but I was mistaken and noticed the students in the classroom so I waltzed in a half hour late and wrote up my questions in class.  World religions left me wondering about gods effect on nature, and the possibilities of heaven, spiritual influences, and the idea of multiple gods, though we were talking about Christianity I couldn’t help thinking, when our instructor mentioned the idea of the earthquakes in Haiti being an act of God that there might be that possibility, but it’s hard for me to believe that an all loving God I grew up with in a Christian home, is capable of this, however I do give considerable thought that lower level gods of the earth, waters, fire and nature, are capable of doing this, but I can’t consider this a bad thing as it is a form of renewal and motivation. It is the balance that we need in this earthly world, because without good there can’t be bad, without bad there can’t be good and the natural cycle of bad and good, shows so many possibilities of good that can arise from the bad we seek, and I say we because we all have that deviant side. It’ those times when you ask yourself, How can all this bad stuff in my life recently put me in such a beautiful situation to spend more time with my passing loved one. Maybe the god almighty lets the others know when certain things have to happen.

The drive home in the dark was good.
