I talk a good game.
- The Final Silverladder November Event – 11/11/11
Have a look at Eric Jacomet’s amazing video of this year’s Silverladder November Event. I was thankful to have him shooting video this year and Pia Ward doing photography. I knew they’d both do an excellent job, but the results far surpassed my expectations. This being our final year, I am so very glad [...]
- A Brief Statement on the Occupy Movement
And I am really placing an emphasis on brief. I have much more to say about this, including a lot of things which tie into my faith, yet seem to be contrary to a lot of what I have heard from those who consider themselves “American Christians” have had to say regarding the topic. [...]
- My Video From the October 2011 MG Shooters “Big Sandy” Shoot in Arizona
From October 27th to the 30th, I took part in the largest machine gun shoot in the United States. My dad and cousins have been going to the “Big Sandy” shoot since 2006. After a few years of missing the event for no good reason, I finally made it there myself. It was nothing short [...]
- I Don’t Know if I’ve Ever Been More Thankful for a Change of Plans
Ruler added for perspective I’d like to tell you a little story about shoveling dirt, repairing water lines, and fixing a sprinkler system. Sounds riveting, eh? I mean, who sees such a spellbinding sentence and doesn’t have to catch their breath in sheer anticipation? This already sounds like something that should be made into [...]
- Thrice: Live at the Marquee Theatre (Tempe, AZ) – 10/1/2011
Thoughts on tonight’s show, in brief list form: 1. Wow. Yeah… wow. 2. If you’re not familiar with Thrice, skip down to item #11. 3. I haven’t sweated like that at a show since I saw Fugazi. I’ve missed it. 4. The band was on, and the crowd responded in kind. It was [...]
- This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Part 2,912,253
Sloan Churman’s original video: My response to the ensuing comments on the video: In this video, I react to the tactless comments being posted in response to Sloan Churman’s inspiring video where Sarah Churman hears her own voice for the first time after a lifetime of being deaf. Whereas a simple, “Congrats on [...]
- The Two of Clubs (White Rabbit)
Your attention span… Your attention span begins to shrink. You begin to grow. You grow very tired. Sitting on the sidewalk, leaned against the side of a bank, you find your eyes straining to remain open. The bank closes. You have nothing to do tonight, and you’re doing exactly that: nothing. The boredom [...]
- “Why is There Tape on The Cups?”
My dad is an interesting guy. Back when I lived at home, around late high school age, these really big solid plastic cups started showing up in our cupboards. They were the kind you’d find at some kind of cafeteria. However, the really weird thing is that every single one would have at [...]
- The Dreams of Red White and Blue Fireworks
Some kind of flowers Some kind of coffee And some kind of morning that starts out like a movie Some kind of person shouting out words which tell you how you’re supposed to feel Some kind of romance and some kind of novel Some kind of newspaper that explains the day And you turn [...]
