The Adventures of Jessica Sideways

I Don’t Speak for All Atheists!

Jessica — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:50:34 +0000

I would like to make a disclaimer here and that is, well, I don’t speak for all atheists and not all atheists agree with my hard line approach to religion. Atheism is simply the disbelief in a god or goddess and it’s not just your god or goddess, it’s all gods and goddesses. That’s pretty [...]

Snow, Snow, Beautiful Snow!

Jessica — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:34:18 +0000

There are several reasons why I am so glad that I moved to Colorado, the first of which being the fact that it actually snows here in Colorado. That, and the ever-present view of the Rockies - as well as the opportunity to view absolutely magnificent landscapes just by coming home from Boulder (the GS [...]

Visitors from the LDS Church!

“I’ll get the door”, I shouted up to Meredith when I heard them knocking on the door. It was a little too late as she started to come down and told me that we had visitors of the evil kind, missionaries from the Moron church just down the street. I decided that it would be [...]

Prop 8 Won and We All Lost

Jessica — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:06:40 +0000

When I woke up and went to my computer, I received the bad news from my Aunt Lori who is living in between California and Virginia. California’s anti-marriage equality bill, proposition 8, won in the polls by a slim margin and equal marriage in California has been successfully compromised. Now, the California constitution is amended [...]

Christless Christianity, what the hell?

Jessica — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:04:24 +0000

I found an interesting link the other day about Christianity and how it is still supposedly becoming Christless. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’d have to say that it’s like saying Harry Potter books are becoming Harry Potter-less. You can’t take Christ out of Christianity just like you can’t take the protagonist out [...]

Writer’s Block Sucks

Jessica — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:20:35 +0000

I know I have not been posting recently, but I have to honestly say that I have been suffering from a serious case of writer’s block. A lot has been happening in my personal life, a new relationship, had to move and running all around the Denver-Boulder corridor. So, right now the inspiration well is [...]

The Apple Evangelistas and Me

Jessica — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:15:17 +0000

I was reading the book, the Cult of Mac and I came across the chapter that talked about Apple’s Chief Evangelist and about the mailing list known as the Evangelist. The purpose of this list was to publicize articles which talked negatively about Apple’s products and to help get people who were dedicated to the [...]

Jessica Meets MassResistance

Jessica — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:53:07 +0000

Yesterday, when I was looking up information on the new laws and the court decisions about our new equal marriage rights in Connecticut, I stumbled upon information about an anti-gay, anti-trans group called MassResistance. And much like any other hate-based group, they are completely and totally antagonistic to the idea that two people could genuinely [...]

You Have Got to be Shitting Me…

Jessica — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:54:10 +0000

Just when you think people couldn’t get any lower, you hear about stories like this. A man decided to name his daughter “Sarah McCain Palin” against his wife’s objections, just to support a misogynistic ticket. And the father was quoted as saying “I took one for the cause”. ‘Scuse me but taking advantage of your [...]

Apple’s Shame: MobileMe

Jessica — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 15:14:26 +0000

I am a fairly faithful Apple fan and I think that for the most part, Apple’s products are far superior to that of any other companies’. The MacBooks and the MacBook Pros have been given a major overhaul and look and work better than they ever have (yeah, I love the aluminum/glass look that Apple [...]
