Barbarian Masculinity

Yet another post of mine inspired by something over at Jeff Culbreath’s Stony Creek Digest.  His post is a lengthy discussion of how one may resist feminism, which contains many interesting points worthy of discussion.  However, the most interesting part of the discussion that I saw was near the end.  Mr. Culbreath points out that [...]

Great New Blog

I just wanted to inform everyone reading of an excellent new blog, Catholic Restorationists.  It is a group blog, and some of the bloggers I regularly read are participating.  In fact, I doubt whether there are many reading my blog who do not yet know about this new blog.

Computer, Heal Thyself!

Recently I cracked the LCD screen of my laptop. A black hole with radiating tendrils appeared, looking something like a palm tree, or the Nile Delta seen from the air. I took the computer to GeekSquad as well as another local computer repair place, and they all told me essentially the same thing: [...]

The Problem of English Departments

Tonight I went to one of my favorite on-campus activities here, a philosophy discussion group called “Cafe Socrates”. Tonight we were discussing the division between “analytic” and “Continental” philosophers, and how the divide finds itself played out in many American universities. However, one of the more interesting things we discussed was the fact [...]

Meeting Online

As many of you who read my earlier posts may know, I met my girlfriend, Catherine, on CatholicMatch.com.  I had searched the website for a little, and eventually paid for a full membership and began sending chat invitations.  I was about to send one to Catherine when, in fact, she sent me one.  We talked [...]
