- 7103: Memoirs Of Frank McCourt¡¦s Childhood
- What is the meaning of life? I always asked myself this very same question every day because I often wonder what is the reason for my existence in this world.

Like a painter with his brush or a sculptor with a chisel the camera is my instrument in creating works of art. I do not use the lens as an escape from reality or the world around me, but as framework for all the beauty and art around me. Sometimes I wonder if all the effort put into capturing the moment somehow negates the actual experience, but I don't think ... has gotten too rough or confusing that I have turned to the camera as an escape.

- 7110: The Harrowing Of Hell - Dialec
- Roland Barthes's essay on "The World of Wrestling" draws analogically on the ancient theatre to contextualize wrestling as a cultural myth where the grandiloquence of the ancient is preserved and the spectacle of excess is displayed. Barthes's critique -- which is ... The whole earth keeps silent because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised all who has slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear. The prevailing silence controls the responsiveness of the congregation. Sovereignty is determined only through the agency of Christ -- a "real" privileged subjectivity whose sleeping or waking determines the trembling of the world.
