So the genius behind xkcd just opened up LimerickDB. Be warned, many (if not most) are definitely NSFW, but I find many of them quite clever, which I have repeated below.

So yeah, I’m looking for a job. In between driving back and forth from Spartanburg for my internship and keeping my head above water with Computational Theory and figuring out whether I want to rent or buy and finding some way that I can be in Charleston with the crew on March 9 and working on some music and getting another website ready and just plain wasting time.
Sometimes it’s overwhelming. But I haven’t had any nervous breakdowns yet, so that automatically makes this term better than last term. If anyone out there reading this wants to bug me, I’ll post some thoughts on the whole Microsoft-Yahoo deal. But not now. I sleep now.

I’ll post more once I can figure out how to say it without saying who it’s involved with. Suffice it to say, who I am hates who I’ve been.

This is pretty flipping sweet. It’s almost worth watching just to hear the song which is one of the most epic pieces of recent music I’ve heard. DragonForce included.
Oh, and posting to a blog from YouTube stinks. It didn’t even set a title for the post.

So I had a ton of mildly amusing footage lying around on my hard drive(s). So I decided to mash it all up, omnibus style. Enjoy!

So have you heard of hatebook? Apparently Ronyo found out about it and set up his own profile. So go bug him. I don’t have time to.

I’m going to be committing writing suicide again. This time, however, I’m letting my alter ego, “Ronyo,” do the dirty work. You’ll be able to keep up with him over at his website. There’s an RSS feed as well, for those that do the feed thing.

So here’s the official Recovering Pharisee blog.
… and it’s here because… why?
Actually, that’s a good question. The biggest reason is that I wanted a place to talk at length about business matters other than my usual weblog. Sounds good in theory, except I hardly ever talk about anything at my usual weblog. Which brings us back to the first question: why?
I guess the bigger question is “Why do we need a company like Recovering Pharisee at all?” And in order to answer that question, we need to know what kind of company Recovering Pharisee is. While I’d like to think we’ve answered that on the home page, it’s going to be a question we’re continually asking ourselves in order to make sure we’re where we’re supposed to be as we wrestle with our identity as a Christian entertainment company.
But I’ll go ahead and venture that Christian entertainment as it stands today isn’t really entertaining, and in many cases it isn’t even that Christian. There are exceptions, of course; but all to often the questions being asked are “Is this family-friendly?” or “Does it mention Jesus enough?” In some cases the question even seems to be “Is this something Christians are going to spend money on?” And where does this leave us? With “entertainment” that’s so focused on the message that it forgets to be, well, entertaining!
Right now, my vision for Recovering Pharisee is a company that challenges people’s assumptions of Christian entertainment. In order to do that, we can’t be afraid to take risks. We have to constantly and consistently ask questions, be inventive, and push the creative envelope. But we can’t do it alone.
That’s where this blog comes in. As we search for our place in this world and envelopes to push, it becomes necessary to “think out loud,” so to speak. So I’ll be posting here with questions and essays on what it means to be us, and I encourage you to comment. And be critical of us. Flame us if you want to. But don’t let us get away with anything stupid. After all, a few people can change the world; imagine what would happen if we had God on our side?
