The Ultimate Mish-mash Blog

Ok… so for no particular reason, I am doing some research on the Amiga computer (a fine machine for its day if you ask me) when I happened to stumble across the name of an interesting person, Andy Warhol. I knew about him before, but until just then, I had no idea that he was an Amiga fanatic (along with Dick van Dyke). Just then, my curiosity piqued and I have decided to haphazardly divert my attention from the Amiga to Andy Warhol to see the kind of artwork he did on the Amiga. Of course, I knew that he was a local homeboy from my hometown of Pittsburgh and that he had some male-leaning sexuality that was the driving force behind his amazing “pop” artwork. However, I had not known anything about his religious beliefs and such. As I took a dive into several biographies and epithets on Mr. Warhol, I discovered that he was a Byzantine Catholic who apparently went to church quite frequently. I found that interesting and I want to continue looking into this much more since the guy was very colorful (and strange). Who knows what else I will find next. If anyone knows other things about ol’ Andy, please feel free to comment here.

EDIT: Oh, for the record, I found some information about Warhol’s faith from GodSpy, a Catholic website. The article can be read by clicking here. Read that and tell me what you think.

Hey ladies and gents. Sorry to keep you waiting on another post. I have been busy with studying for finals.

Anyhow, this semester at the university, I have definitely improved in my performance and I hope that, when sophomore year rolls around, I can see the light of day :P. Anyway, One of the classes I took had nothing to do with my major, yet it was the most important class for me during the course of the semester… sociology. I’ll tell you what, it really opened my mind up to the different classes of society, how people interact in their faith, and much more. If anyone has even a slight interest in human behavior, I would strongly recommend a sociology course. Now of course, it also depends on the professor who teaches it. Luckily for me, my professor is a balanced individual who presents both sides to any given argument. Others may not be this way, unfortunately. Therefore, I would exercise great caution when picking any sociology course.
