About to rewatch the X-files from the start – again
February 6, 2009
I recently treated myself to a new DVD/Divx player. The last one I had, a rather robust little DK player, which seemed to play everything I threw at it, until the day it died, just stopped working (Reason unknown).
I had a look around a few websites and finally happened upon the Philips DVP5990 with HDMI 1080p up scaling and a front-USB 2.0 port. Thanks to a nice little find on the internet, I was able to format an old 200GB external HD into fat32 and I have began to fill it with various divx/xvid files.
As I sit here now, typing this, my HD has the first few seasons of The X-files loaded up and ready to go. I can’t wait to watch them back to back again. It’s been a while, probably a good few years, since i watched it from the very first episode. Probably as far back as when I purchased all 8 (as it was back then) seasons on VHS from Amazon for £125. Since then, I’ve managed to catch quite a few episodes here and there, on Living and Virgin 1. So it’ll be a fantastic treat to relive the experience from the start to finish.
The X-files is probably one of my top three favourite shows of all time. I even love the later conspiracy based seasons, which shook off a lot of fans. Although, like any other fans, I too agree that the first few seasons are by far the best, with the most interesting episodes and a lot more reason to think and wonder at the subjects covered.
Do I Believe? – UFOs, Aliens and Chariots of the Gods
February 5, 2009
Another of my childhood interests which even stuck with me through my Christian years, always giving me cause for curiosity and wonder. I have somewhat lost my interest and curiosity over recent years, guess i had to get rid of a few things to make room for everything else that was going on inside of me.

There’s quite a few ideas and theories behind the whole phenomenon of UFOs and Aliens, some more plausible than others. Read the rest of this entry »
Do I Believe? – God and all of his/her/it’s guises
February 5, 2009
Warning, this is a long post!
The first one didn’t go too bad, and pushed on by my own sense of greatness (or lack thereof), i’ve decided to be brave and tackle the big one, God.

A little background
As you’ve probably garnered, either by reading my previous posts, or by knowing me, i was a born again Christian for over 5 years of my life. Between the ages of 18 and 23 and a bit. My faith was always strong within that time, until towards the very end of the run, where it withered and died as i struggled to keep one aspect (lust) of my life under wraps.

Do I Believe? – Ghosts
February 5, 2009
I thought i’d start off with something that i’ve been interested in since i was a child. It’s also quite an interesting topic, and should avoid the wrath of my boredom or dis-interest. 
I’m not going to cover absolutely every possibility, as it would take a lot of work and time, which i don’t really have in me. But i’ll cover the most likely ones, in my opinion anyway. Read the rest of this entry »
