Aight so i ain’t hatin’, but daaaaag — the parents may have second thoughts 15 years from now. that’s always the danger in using a “novel” name. wifey & i have talked about this a bit, on the naming tip (we got one on the way, i thought yall knew! :) — we’re trying to stay away from the “pop” name at the time, or something that’s not a classic. i’m trying to approach it like my hip hop production.

i give props though for the acknowledgement that dude’s a king ;)

Man, i was listening to a demo that had one of the illest samples in it, and i’m killing myself over trying to find out what the original was–so i started thinking “lots of smart people out there–there *has* to be someone who has dreamt up a search by hum interface”. Or even on a more basic(?) level, something where there’s a little keyboard interface on the website that you can ding out a few notes, edit them until they’re about how you want them, and then submit.

The following may end up being good reading.

I’ve heard bantered about the thought that goes something like “it’s the height of arrogance to think that there is a God that only cares about humans above all other life”. I think that’s such a misinformed statement. In reading yesterday’s reading of The Purpose Driven Life, the author makes a great statement:

In the entire universe, only two of God’s creations fail to bring glory to him: fallen angels (demons) and us (people)…

That’s the Bible’s take on the matter. I’d have to surmise that while on the one hand, we’re made just a “little lower than the angels“, we’re pretty much on the low end when it comes to actually doing what God wants us to do. I’m factoring arrogance out of the equation of why one would choose to believe in Yahweh.
