So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Chris turned 30-something yesterday. He kept telling me that he didn't care how old he was, that it didn't really matter, that he wasn't one of those people who was touchy about that kind of stuff. But he still wouldn't tell me how old he was turning. By my calculations it was 34.

"Tell me... what difference do you think there is between the ages 32, 33, and 34?" he said. "Seriously, I mean, is there a big difference, do you think?"

I said that they were all pretty old and that I wasn't really old enough to even start thinking about if there was a difference between them. Haha. I mean, I said it like it was a joke, but it was also true. So we got into a long conversation... this conversation lasted for HOURS AND HOURS, but that's just the way conversations with Chris are. We covered everything from the timeless nature of the Universe to the real meaning of true love and how to find it to the AIDS crisis to the meaning of religion, current US politics, how much we both like Tony Blair, the Jews (for some reason people on the East Coast like discussing Jewish people a lot), abortion, The Rules, how it would suck to be eaten by a lion, the weather, Tennessee, how annoying people can be when you travel with them, Freud, the beach, the stress of the modern workplace, leukemia, ground water flow lines, how artesian wells work, the Carboniferous, cake, what we're going to do tomorrow and man's ever-present and approaching mortality.

At one point he looked up out the window into the misty night and he said, "Do you ever think about... the Universe?" and I was thinking about how in the last couple of weeks I'd been thinking that I really wanted a guy who said things like that. Because of course I think about the Universe! All the time! Chris is such a contradiction! Of course this time he was thinking about the Universe because if you consider the depths of cosmological time, the human lifetime is but a blink, and therefore the 10 year age difference between him and his girlfriend isn't really that much.

I star in the clips
with the hair that looks like a bush, but you can spot me in the dunking basketballs videos, and the balloon blowing one. I'm also the Clemson Balloon.

If I'm not in the frame, then I'm behind the camera.

I actually smiled while reading this. You always wanted a guy who would ask you about the universe? That's..

That's so sweet.
