June...already.....really?
The non stop summer has begun, and I have no delusions that I will pick back up on the regular blogging, but I figured a token effort would suffice for the constant observation (here is your shout out B) of my inconsistent submissions. Since it has been 6 weeks since the last blog, I offer you things that are good in the past 6 weeks, both new and re-discovered.
BOOKS
Why We're Not Emergent
ample stoking for my ever burning firey hot conservative propaganda against the "hip" church.

MUSIC
The new Coldplay album - I'm not feeling the Sgt. Pepper jackets
worn on the MTV movie award performance, but a quality product all the same.

John Mayer Trio - Because those of you who hate John Mayer because it's hip to do so need to know that the guy is a sick musician and great song writer. I let this album fall out of regular rotation, but now it's back in. If even after listening to that, and you're still on the fence, watch this and understand my man crush.
TELEVISION
The Best Show on TV
You had me at "Hello Jack"

9 pm on a week night
And I'm at Starbucks until the over dramatic horde of health and wellness product purchasing ladies leave my house.
So, for the masses - a few things I'm excited about that you too, in my oppinion, should be stoked about as well.
Smart People - I like Dennis Quaid. He won me over in Everybody's All American
when I was a kid, and it stuck.

Luke Wilson
being in a movie that isn't another poop sandwich. Maybe?

My soap box has been in the shop
4.14 - despite what the date above says..
My friend Colin says that the majority of people who blog spend the vast amount of their literary energy complaining, while my friend Neil thinks everyone who blogs is drastically self absorbed to believe anyone cares what they have to say. I agree with both. I have always been a fan of the status quot, it's how I greased through all levels of school, so why break the cycle now.
My rant today will exceed previous levels of self righteousness and be seasoned with incalculable amounts of vanity.
Can someone explain how and when Christians became:
A.) Incapable of creating our own culture.
Are we as followers of an inconceivably innovative Messiah so hard pressed and desperate to cling to the strands of the pop culture garment, that to prove ourselves relevant to the current ethos that we just carbon copy the most recent trend add "God"or "Jesus" to it and label it "Christian"? I know all of the arguments for providing a safe and positive alternative for kids and teenagers, I do this for a living; but I have to be honest, I'm pretty sure God wouldn't and doesn't want his name associated with some of this garbage.
We need to praise God for companies like Walden Media who partner up to make high end movies to save us from Omega Code 19.
B.) Equally incapable of thinking as individuals.
I'm walking our students through the book of Luke. In chapter 12, the masses following Jesus have surpassed 10,000 people, and Jesus does something that I think had become obsolete in a world of TV preachers
and Prosperity Gospel catastrophe. He takes time to instruct the twelve on how to live amongst reprehensible routine of religion. Before I make myself nauseous with an overload of self righteousness, I'll exit on this; seek out world perspective beyond heinous fact less e-mail forwards, double standard news channels and nebulous tradition.

like the sands of an hourglass, so are the days of this blog...
Things I'm excited about, that I believe in my heart of hearts you should be excited about too(I always hear people say "heart of hearts" and I have no idea what it means, so I thought I would give it a shot and see if it fits...it doesn't).
Step Brothers - re kindling the magic that is Will Ferrell and John C. Riley.
Astros 2008 - No more Ensberg or Qualls - praise the Father in Heaven.
Kevin Jetton Having teenage boys that will dress as suave as he did.
I think he was the tenor in Color Me Bad
