I am going to be trying out a new server from Bodhost for the next month.  Therefor, my site will be moving over the weekend.  If I like Bodhost after that month it will remain there.

I have this move setup in such a way though that most viewers will never see any downtime at all.  My hope is that no one even notices any changes, besides the faster loading speeds of my site.

I will post again once this process is complete.

I’ve added a pastebin to my site since I help people with programming a lot.  I figured since I do this so much, having my own pastebin might be a good idea.  You can click the PasteBin link at the top to find this new feature on my site.

This pastebin is open to all to post to, however if anyone submits anything that is vulgar, rude, any way offensive, or spamming, I will delete it.

“Waiting For a Miracle” by Mark Erelli; Written by Bruce Cockburn.

Normally movies do not affect or move me much in any way.  Really I can not think of one single movie that ever really has.  That is until, last night, when I watched this movie.

I watched the new movie The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas last night.  This was a very emotional movie with an almost unbelievable ending.  If you are unaware of the ending of this movie, it will be one that you would have never expected.  Unfortunately it shows the reality of the holocaust.

I encourage everyone to take time to watch this movie.  This is probably one of the best movies that could be shown in school on the issue also.  Unlike other movies, this movie has the ability to personalize it to you, make you feel guilty (even though you aren’t), and bring the reality of the issue into your life.

How could humanity be so cruel?  That is what I was asking myself.

In the end of the movie I was left with many mixed emotions.  I had a feeling of of sadness, guilt, a little joy for a little bit of revenge, but sadness for that revenge at the same time, and most of all I felt sickened.  Sickened by the fact that most of what the movie showed actually took place.  Although the main plot may have not been real, it easily could have happened (and we really have no way of knowing it didn’t).  It shows us that our bad deeds can come back to haunt us, and even affect us in ways we never could imagine.

Again, I urge you to watch the movie.  After watching it, you should also encourage others to do so also.

Well, it has been a couple weeks since Kaleb got out of the hospital.  Unfortunatly he is still a little sick.  He is mostly just having congestion problems.  He is still receiving breathing treatments twice a day.  He has improved a lot though since coming home from the hospital.

Here is an updated picture of him.  This is, in my opinion, the cutest one we have thus far.  It is also, I think, the first one that shows him smiling.
