Edward Davis Blog: Life is Random
http://atxthumper.blogspot.com/2010/04/life-is-random.html
Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Secure Online Database Software for Nonprofits. Seriously, as much I think I plan for everything, pretty much randomness ensues. I wonder sometimes how it has been this way but still turned out so well. I am fairly calculating in my actions. I weigh the pros and cons of any drastic action that I feel I need to take, and decide from there. But still, randomness! Through Ramon, I met Drew, an ex priest of the Roman Catholic fait...

Edward Davis Blog: May 2010

Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Segregating the gays from the straights. A friend of mine asked me this today on facebook regarding the recent decisions about Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT). What is your take on the talk about the whole "thorny issues" coming up since the DADT.like talk of segregating gays from straights in bunks/showers? This is going to get way worse before it gets better. How do we stop this? I quickly shot off an answer:. Yes, they are slan...

Edward Davis Blog: I'm Excited!
http://atxthumper.blogspot.com/2010/05/im-excited.html
Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Saturday, May 22, 2010. A short explanation of last week's personal struggle:. So, last weekend I wrote a bit about some emotional stuff I was going through in a post titled Love is Not Enough. There's a little bit more to the story though. Better put, I am going from inactive to activist! I had heard about the Harvey Milk Day march and rally in Austin! So Mac is willing to step outside of his comfort zone and take this walk with me. His trip continue...

Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Heroes for our Heroes. In a far off land, they fight for us,. To protect our right to be. They asked no questions, offered no objection,. They all went willingly. Long hard years they've fought for us. And continue still today. To keep terror from our children's hearts. And defend our country's way. They are our brothers, they are our sisters. Fighting for our freedoms every day. They are our children, mothers and fathers. Segreg...

Edward Davis Blog: I was literally moved to tears
http://atxthumper.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-was-literally-moved-to-tears.html
Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Friday, May 14, 2010. I was literally moved to tears. I tend to think of myself as a fairly level headed kind of guy. I have feelings and passion but, I am rarely (if ever) moved to tears. This afternoon I posted a picture. That truly did move me to tears. Even as I type this now I find myself welling up a bit. The thought moved me so much that I had to write about it. I was not at a computer and doing the research on my iPhone was proving to be a...

Edward Davis Blog: A picture is worth a thousand words
http://atxthumper.blogspot.com/2010/05/picture-is-worth-thousand-words.html
Geeky gay gleek, and I won't apologize for any of it. Friday, May 14, 2010. A picture is worth a thousand words. A co-worker of mine forwarded this picture to me. It was not attached to a story. I wish I knew the background of this photo. If you know, please let me know! The reason I felt the need to share this with you all is a simple one. From 1 single act, the act of announcing to the world who we are, we end one struggle only to begin another. It takes a lot of courage to be honest with yourself.

A Fiercer Delight and a Fiercer Discontent: October 2014
http://stanford-gibson.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A Fiercer Delight and a Fiercer Discontent. Eclectic reflections on music, philosophy, theology and culture. Friday, October 24, 2014. The Verdict on Human Nature: A Lament. The jury is in. Centuries of debate about human nature have come to an end. Are we, at our core, kind and altruistic, or self serving and basically shit? That used to be a debate. A legitimate question for discourse. A rhetorical arc from Locke vs. Hobbes to Annie vs Jeff [1]. But we have adjudicated it. And then there’s Twitter.

A Summary of a Summary: James Smith on Charles Taylor.in charts and memes. Summarized Charles Taylor’s [2].

He called it H. Ow (Not) to be secular: Reading Charles Taylor. And th...

Field Notes from the Republic: July 2013
http://fieldnotesfromtherepublic.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. Odds and Ends, Part 2. In my last post. I slapped together a bunch of random photos Id taken with the intent of blogging them. This is part two. Back to real posts soon, I promise. There are some very odd/oddly cool things about rural Texas. Or just Texas in general. From the same building, the Pork Hall of Honor! Sadly, this was a dead-end road, I think. This abandoned Walmart was the flagship abandoned store in a small town full of abandoned stores. I posted previously about the ...
