DALLAS - More Americans believe in a literal hell and the devil than Darwin’s theory of evolution, according to a new Harris poll released on Thursday.
It is the latest survey to highlight America’s deep level of religiosity, a cultural trait that sets it apart from much of the developed world.

Ch-ch-changes

Posted by zhx on November 30th, 2007 filed in All, Blog Entries

Finally got around to dicking around with some of my site’s functionality and appearance like I said I was going to two months ago. Some changes may be experimental, so I don’t know what’s going to stay and what’s going to go as I get everything finalized. Things might be fucked, off and on, for [...]

ZHX: Converted

Posted by zhx on November 29th, 2007 filed in All, Religion/Politics, Skateboarding

A while back I posted a blog bemoaning the fact that Thrasher Magazine was running ads for Untitled Skateboards, a Christian skateboarding company, that I thought compromised Thrasher’s integrity. Seven months later I received a reply from, yes…an outsider. TWO replies, actually!

The Valley of Gwangi

Posted by zhx on November 26th, 2007 filed in All, Randomness

I’ve been on a Planet of the Apes kick for a couple days now, watching one a night until I finish all five. I was distracted one night by The Peanut Butter Solution and now I have been sidetracked again by a little 1969 film called The Valley of Gwangi. I goddamn hate westerns, but [...]

The Peanut Butter Solution

Posted by zhx on November 25th, 2007 filed in All, Randomness

One night several months ago at the now defunct dudes’ house, a children’s movie called The Peanut Butter Solution was brought up in conversation. Out of the maybe ten people present, only two had seen the film and while neither could seem to describe in detail exactly what the movie was about, both were able [...]

Giving Thanks

Sure, for Thanksgiving dinner I may have had a Kit-Kat bar and a Newcastle brown ale, but I got my Waffles.fm invite today! As the site’s only a couple weeks old, it’s no OiNK, but it’s quite a bit better than the two other private sites I joined post-OiNK. Time for some new music!

Best Band Name Ever

Posted by zhx on November 21st, 2007 filed in All, Music, Video Games

My Rock Bandmate and I spent a little time today perusing the online leaderboards to see how Smithereen is faring worldwide and ran across the best band name ever:
Blood Bath & Beyond
Dammit, why didn’t we think of that?

Rock Band is the New Karaoke

Posted by zhx on November 21st, 2007 filed in All, Blog Entries, Music, Video Games

Rock Band was released today, and I’m fortunate enough to have a roommate who was willing to dump $160 on a single video game. He’s had it pre-ordered/paid off for months, and all we had to do was waltz into Game Crazy and pick the game up. If you have no idea what Rock Band [...]
