This is a test to see if this works

Happy 21st Birthday, Amanda, my love.

The only benefit I can find to the raising gas prices, is that I am no longer required to stand outside nearly as long to pump $20 worth of gas into the car. That’s kinda good, isn’t it?

Scatman Dan has released an OpenId plugin (sorta) for Wordpress. It’s still really early beta, and not quite working right for me, but I’ll finally be able to allow Livejournal users to use their own id’s to leave comments here.

All it really takes is a quick Google search to turn the crappy comment system that comes with Wordpress into a spiffy nested comment system. Thank you, Brian’s Threaded Comments!

Does directing hate, and scorn, and fear towards Satan give him strength? Does speaking of his wickedness, and preaching of the fires of hell, and attributing the souls of all the day’s top musicians empower Satan in the same way that I assume praising God gives him strength. If we view everything in the world that we don’t agree with as the direct influence of Satan, we are creating a much more powerfull nemesis than we really want to deal with.
