In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian.

I am my favourite Canadian. Since spending two fabulous weeks in Toronto during the year 2000, I have been plotting my eventual migration to Canada. Someday, I will proudly renounce my citizenship to the United States and embrace being a Canadian. Until that glorious day, I will be a Canadian in spirit.

Happy Canada Day!

Show us something in your house from the 1970s.

NAB Bible

This is the 1971-1972 edition of the New American Bible.

Pope Paul VI

This bible includes several full color photographs, including this fine picture of Pope Paul VI. Check out those eyes. I hope that when I am pope, I will have eyes that look like that. I also hope I can mimic that popish look Paul has in this photograph.

Vox Hunt: Sixth Grade Serenade

Share a song you listened to in 6th grade.

Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle

In sixth grade, I had to borrow my Appetite for Destruction tape to Tommy Allen. He was the scariest heavy metal bully in school. This kid beat up poor suckers right and left and I was frightened to death when he approached me, asking to borrow my tape. Knowing already in sixth grade how the world of bullies worked, I quickly relented and let him have it. What choice did I have? If I didn't give it to him, I would run the risk of getting my face beat in at the worse and at the very least getting mocked and ridiculed for the remainder of my middle school experience. Although he reassured me I would receive the tape back the next day, I was worried that I listened to Nightrain on my Walkman for the last time.

Thankfully, Tommy Allen was a bully that kept his word. Appetite was returned to me and in exchange for my willingness to borrow the tape he never bullied me. In fact, his protection was appreciated because not only did he have older, much stronger friends, he went on a terror streak in seventh grade that thankfully bypassed me. I believe my constant viewing of '80s movies on HBO instructed me on how to deal with bullies.

Vox Hunt: Annoying Cartoon Character

Show us the cartoon character that annoys you the most.

The Emperor's New school

Kuzco is almost the most annoying cartoon character on the planet. I become physically and mentally disturbed to such a degree that I need to leave the room whenever I hear the theme music. Thankfully the children did not like this show and I was not subjected to it on a regular basis.

However,

sponge bob square pants messed up

Sponge Bob Square Pants is the most annoying cartoon character (and show) ever. I banned it from the house because I believe it destroys young minds. There are good cartoons out there that both entertain and educate (PBS's Arthur is a good one). Sponge Bob is not one of them. It is like junk food being shoveled out on television. Thankfully, the children did not force the issue and never acquired a desire to watch this trash.

Vox Hunt: Always on My Mind

Show us something that's been on your mind a lot.

I have many things on my mind, the most important being my family. However, close behind this are the following items.

Bible Proficiency Exam

I am thinking about the study plan I am going to use for blowing this exam out of the water. Although my undergraduate degree is in religion, I am not a biblical scholar by any means. I am strong in the gospels and most of the Old Testament. However, I am lacking in many areas of the New Testament. I will need to study hard for this exam.

I am also thinking about my impending oral examination in Spanish. La profesora will choose five of the following questions to ask of me. I will have to answer without being able to write anything. I am not an auditory person, so this exam will be a challenge.

¿Qué ropa llevas en diciembre cuando hace much frío?
¿Prefieres llevar sandalias o zapatos de tenis en el verano?
¿Con quién hablaste ayer?
¿A qué hora te acostaste anoche?
¿Fuisteis tú y tu familia a Guatemala el año pasado?
¿Qué ropa se puso la profesora hoy?
En tu opinión, ¿cuáles son mejores, las peras o las uvas?
¿Quién sirvió la cena a ti anoche?
¿Preparaste el desayuno para tus amigos recientemente?
¿Conoces a alguna persona famosa?
¿Con quién quisiste hablar ayer?
¿Dónde estuviste ayer a las siete de la tarde?
¿Adónde fuisteis túy tus amigos recientemente?
¿Qué hora era cuando llegaste a Augsburg hoy?
¿Cómo se llamaba tu mejor amigo/a en la escuela secundaria?

I also have graduation on the brain.

Arial is my favorite font. However, my favorite font today is the Times New Roman that is displayed in this wonderful letter I received in the mail today.
