Okay, so I’ve completely reconstructed this entire site. And it only took me two days to do it. I’m now using my Wordpress software to control about 90 percent of my pages. I was set against it for so long, only using Wordpress for the blog part of the site. But, I got tired of [...]
I just received an email from my uncle, David Tadlock, who sent out a picture of my sister Amy. This was from when she tried out for American Idol in Memphis. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it. Maybe next year. She is the girl sitting on the right. That is one of her friends sitting next [...]
I think I’ve heard something to this effect before. And that’s what my life is all about. I live five days a week, only in anticipation for two. Believe me, my weekends are nothing to get excited about. But, I wait for them anyway. I usually sit around and watch a TV season of something [...]

I finally got around to reading this collection of books. And trust me, it took a while. I think I was supposed to read this collection back when I was a kid. I actually can’t recall ever hearing about C. S. Lewis’ books until a few years ago. Nevertheless, I’m glad I got to read [...]
The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodies — and What It Means to Be Human I admit it. I’m a sucker for reading books about upcoming scientific breakthroughs. Yes, that may make me a bit of a nerd, but I like reading them anyway. Joel Garreau has written one of the easier-to-read [...]
I picked up Maximum Ride after reading James Patterson’s When the Wind Blows and The Lake House in anticipation of more thrills from his extraordinary bird-children. Of course, that’s exactly what I got. (Note: These aren’t the same children from his previous books, though some of the names are the same, they’re still bird children, [...]
