For the first time in a while I have been blessed with a song. This one is pretty haunting (how appropriate for October =P). It starts out in Amin7 fluctuating via hammer-on to an Amin and then to a G every measure. It's a very beautiful song, and quite easy to play. Well, it would be better if I weren't singing it.

I thought of You again
When autumn winds froze my hands and my feet
I remembered You again
Where the moon and dimming stars all meet
I am the darkness
You are a purifying beam of light
You touch my soul in ways I cannot hide
How can I ever doubt
While Your creation calls out
Take me
Carry me away
Into your arms
Into your heart
I feel so weak
You are strong
You are the lifeblood of my soul
Just like the verse says, God is there during the harsh winters and the beautiful moments of our lives. I remember back when I was a kid I used to go outside on frigid October nights and watch the moon move across the sky. It fascinated me how amazing the stars and moon were. Romans 1:20 says:
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
To me, that starry Autumn sky is proof that God exists; and He is so amazing that He would make these wonderful things just for me to sit and watch them. God is amazing, and one day He will carry me away to a place where all this worldly crap like hate, death, pain, and sorrow won't exist.
Sweet, no more homework =).

Management is not as boring as I figured it would be. We have left the realm of questions like "what is a LAN" and delved into more semi-interesting topics that are on the management side of the fence. Now we are learning about management hierarchy, business process streamlining, and where IT fits into the big picture of each of those concepts. The prof keeps touting a MGT/CSLITE hybrid as being a lucrative and highly desired professional skillset. That wouldn't seem to hard for me to do, but I like HCI more than I like MGT. Maybe I can find a way to satisfy all of my professional asipirations. A Rock-star IT nerd moonlighting as the CIO of Google and developing usable interfaces in his spare time? Hrmmm.
My labmate is researching the effects of Dragon Quest VI on his mac SNES emulator. I think he needs a consult.
