My boss recently bought this coffee table book from the local Anarchist (yes, anarchist) book store, and over the past week I’ve spent my lunch breaks reading it. When I first picked it up I never really planned on reading all the way through it, but after spending 30 minutes looking at the images and [...]
Today’s been a tough one on my pocket book. I take great solace in knowing that this evening, 1,500 miles away, a beautiful family will celebrate Spaghetti Day.
Texas, take heart. I’ll be home a week sooner than we’d planned. Hope you can work around the schedule change.
It wasn’t until I got to college that I realized my dad knew everything. Then, in the latter half of college that I realized that not only did my dad know everything, but all dads know everything. Mikey’s dad knows everything. Jon’s dad knows everything. Anson’s, Hayden’s, and Ashton’s dad knows everything. Dads just know [...]
“… and if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (1 Cor 15:14)
All hail, Thou Resurrection!
All hail, Thou Life and Light!
All hail, Thou Self Perfection,
Sole source of grace and might!

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
Have we no tears to shed for Him,

Ah! look how patiently He hangs;

How fast His hands and feet are nailed;
His blessed tongue with thirst is tied,
His [...]
Effective the third full week in Philadelphia, my weekends began on Friday, not Saturday. As such, this particular Friday found my day getting started several hours later than did the mornings of the four days prior. Having completed my daily morning rituals as morning itself was coming to a close, I opened my window to [...]
Ironically enough, on the heels of writing a post containing the question, “Of all the books you’ve read, which one did you read the fastest (presumably because it was excellent)? How long did it take?”, my answer changed. Ladies and gentlemen, D.O.’s new record for the shortest amount of time required to read an entire [...]
One of my duties as an intern here in Philadelphia is maintaining and updating various myspace pages that are under this company’s umbrella, ella, ella (I never can resist that). This requires that I spend ungodly amounts of time on myspace.com reading what people write us, rather, what they write Shane, who doesn’t see their [...]
… there will be an end to these struggles, but until that day comes…
(I understand that song probably wasn’t written for me as it relates to Philly, nevertheless, I found it to be a proper fit).
Having successfully spent just under two months in Philadelphia — America’s fifth largest city — I decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of big city life by taking a trip to a bigger city. A city that, by a comfortable margin, is the largest the US has to offer: New York, [...]
