she plays the drums, I’m on tambourine

Can I begin by saying just how much I love Rock Band? This is one of the best things to ever happen to me. I just started my world tour on Expert Mode, and my thunder is rolling. This has been a good week so far. I spent saturday in Westminster for a work-related meeting, [...]

I can’t be anywhere but here.

This has been a very busy 2 weeks for me. I am now convinced that I could easily stay at ORCC for years and years to come, and that makes me happier than I can really express. My family has always been somewhat nomadic when it comes to churches, and I can’t remember being at [...]

This is a scene from my day: As I am walking out of the Catalyst room to grab some cables out of my car, there is a man with a long, greying ponytail and torn jeans walking toward me. He also has a goatee; I have never met this man, nor have I seen him [...]

I’m not a soldier

today I walked to church to get ready for JTTC: part 2. I had a Coca-Cola Classic in hand and, of course, li’l Sean in ear. “All These Things That I’ve Done”  came on and given my brisk pace, hipster Gap hoodie and Chucks ensemble, and ubiquitous iPod attached to my tiny half-pocket on my [...]

the days behind you haunted

Last night was the first night of Journey to the Cross at ORCC. This is a very cool production idea, where people are lead, almost like wary tourists, through scenes depicting the last night of Christ’s life; beginning at the last supper for communion, (my favorite element of Christian faith,) moving through Gethsamane, (the most fascinating [...]

lay me down in sheets of linen…

Recent discussion with the Sutherlinder: What is your karaoke song? The song that comes on the radio and you always, without fail, step up to deliver; and you know what? You freaking nail that song when the opportunity presents itself. And you know that if you were going to sing Karaoke (which I would really like to start,) that [...]

going somewhere

I’m dealing with a lot of stuff lately. This is good, but dealing with stuff kind of sucks. It means you have to stare yourself in the face and admit that there is some gross stuff going on beneath the surface. As a musician, this is less pleasant than pulling my own teeth. I prefer [...]
