under construction 2nd mvt.

I’ve been churning out the posts more rapidly than normal this week (see i-dub and jiffy news) which made me hesitant to post this disclaimer submission, but I think it necessary.
As I really hope you’re able to tell, I’ve done some more work on the aesthetics of odfm. I called it that on a previous [...]

jiffy news revisited… sort of

Some of you may have already read Brandon Roger’s most recent post regarding news and gossip. He talks about how we like to read stories about all kinds of silly things in personal lives of complete strangers. So there’s that.
To further emphasize his point, and to magnify how messed up our priorities as a country [...]

i-dub

I had the privilege this weekend of hanging out with some of my family at iWitness Ministries. It was the annual reunion/banquet weekend in which we shared meals, conversations, hugs, laughs, and Sharpie tattoos. After reflecting on my weekend and time spent with these wonderful people, I opted to publish something to occupy and educate [...]

it’s a big weekend

Two highly anticipated movies (in my book of highly anticipated things) are coming out nation-wide this weekend. This is an exciting time!

Into the Wild – This is the film interpretation of the Jon Krakauer’s book that I reviewed a while back. Initially I wasn’t too fired up about this coming out because I figured for [...]

world’s first bearded super hero

Having spent all of four weekends back here in College Station at my beloved church, Living Hope, this weekend the powers that be decided it was time to put me back in a skit. I’ve been in a handful of skits at the Hopester over the past few years, but only once have I played [...]

I’m a sucker for musicals

Of all the videos taking up world wide web space on YouTube (and sadly GodTube… who’s idea was that??), this is one that is actually worth 180 seconds of your time. I first saw it probably three years ago and fell in love. At one point I was very serious about doing at Texas A&M [...]

under construction

A series of events have occurred lately (Andrew’s improved blog, a growing personal dissatisfaction with mine, heaps of free time) inspiring me to attempt something I’ve not done since Mike Hnatt’s Info 210 class: editing the layout of a website.
As you’ve probably noticed, the header is (mostly) new. I spent a long time making that [...]

done and done

Ladies and gentleman, as promised, I give you the completed stairwell. Remember back when I had painty face syndrome? Well the labor wasn’t in vain. See?
If you’d like to read what Heather had to say on the issue (and indeed her opinion is, in this case, the only one that matters) you may do so [...]

little did I know

Not too terribly long ago I posted this piece offering all the sneaky p’s who read my blog without commenting an opportunity to show themselves. At that point I felt pretty well caught up on who the newest members of my readership were. Well it turns out I jumped to conclusions.
Since resurfacing in College Station [...]

pointer finger tip: numb

No, this isn’t a picture of my trip to College Station’s latest death metal show, nor is it my head shot for my haunted house application (though I do need a job). It’s what I looked like after applying a fresh coat of spray paint to the Hendrick staircase.
Aaron and I had the brilliant, what-could-go-wrong [...]
