Walkin' the streets with Soldiers & Sailors...

kat said it was girls' nite out, so we went walkin around downtown - i came up with the fancier title: Walkin' the streets with Soldiers & Sailors...

in the past, we've made several walks around the canal...that gets a bit old, so we decided to change it around a bit. we ended up checking out the war memorial and university park, and soldiers & sailors monument it was very nice, i just wish it hadn't been so humid - tho i didn't feel excessively uncomfortable (the Indianapolis Star thermometer read 85 degrees at 8:30) i was sweating buckets - by the time our walk was over, it looked as if i'd dunked my head in one of the fountains at the park, and not just my feet (ahhhh, so refreshing!)

during the walk, it was very obvious that Gen Con is in town - gamers all over!!!

we'll definitely hafta go back downtown during daytime - i have a bad feeling about the pix she took, i think it was too dark for them to turn out halfway decent. we'll see...

website i've stumbled upon - celebatheists.com

celebatheists.com seems to be a wikipedia section dedicated to pointing out athiests, agnostics and such...you definitely have to take a look at the comments attributed to people to determine just how accurate the description is.

for instance, Kathy Griffin's listed as an atheist because of her quote “I’m sick to death of Jesus. I feel that Jesus and Paris Hilton are both overexposed. I’ve seen enough of both of them. And I think I’m getting more atheist because of the way the country is getting more into Bible-thumping.” - Actress Kathy Griffin (“Suddenly Susan”) to Sacramento’s gay Outword Magazine, Dec. 23 [2004].

now call me crazy, but i think this comedian was making a joke - more a joke about the crap that Dubya lovers have inflicted on this country rather than real, authentic Christianity (not to mention that whole overexposed aspect)

nonetheless, it's interesting to read the quotes...
