This is dedicated to some very special people. You know who you are.

violet hill

Coldplay have, after spending quite a bit of time flying under the radar, dropped a new single! Available as a free download from coldplay.com, Violet Hill is a very interesting re-entry for the band. If this single is a good indication, the upcoming album “Viva la Vida” is going to be very enjoyable. The band [...]

all the young dudes

Man. Mott the Hoople is so good to hear it! I’ve spent the morning enjoying 1972’s “All The Young Dudes,” and it’s just so good. The guitars are ahead-of-their-time heavy, the melodies are so danged anthemic, and David Bowie wrote the title track! What more could you want? The album’s only real downfall is the [...]

the butterflies are passive aggressive

So, last night actually turned out to be a really, really good night. The work meeting was pretty fun, and I had a chance to get up and talk in front of around 500 people. I have to admit that when I get up in front of people, I feel like I’m on fire, NBA [...]

we are volcanoes, making new land

I’m about to head to a work meeting; I am furious about it. Less than 20 minutes ago, my car was very close to not starting in the parking lot of a Safeway to which I had longed ago wished never to return. I would rather sit in a parking lot, wait for a tow [...]

’cause I don’t shine, you don’t shine

I will possess your heart

So, yesterday I failed to blog. At all. I feel like less of a person when I don’t get a post in (because, lets be honest, people who don’t blog are lesser people.) But yesterday was a freaking blogworthy day! Hosh and I spent time traversing the lands of Home Depot, enjoying the local russian [...]

it’s a heart attack of a feeling

So, wordpress has this neat little feature that, when you roll your mouse over a link, a little window pops up with a graphic preview of the linked page, and a set of buzzwords (“tags,” to the avid blogger,) along the bottom that apparently coincide with the content of said page. However, when I moved [...]

my fall gonna break your wall

Once again, it is a beautiful day here in the glorious DTC. Yesterday was, undoubtedly, off the chain. I discovered the love that is facebook chat, ate a spicy cheddar dog from Circle K, and delighted in the retardation of good friends. The highlight though, was for sure the rehearsal session I had with Mark (avid [...]

clockworks and cold steel

Things I’m stoked about for today:

The weather. I laughed on my way to church that I feel very awkward and out of place in the sunshine. Where’s my jacket? Why am I not shivering? What is this?
The blog “Stuff Christians Like,” namely for the “porn post,” and for saying “Even if that meal spent an [...]
