start: Hi everyone just writing to post up some things I'm up to and that have been exciting me.

warning: LOST starts in 3 hours.

verbose: I've been a wee bit busy with work and a few side things...
Went hiking around Chantry Flats and checked out the waterfall up there since the recent rains. Pretty awesome.

Played through Mass Effect 2 (very fun, definitely makes it pretty high on my favorite games played list)

Projects: things I will be up to...
.
.
verbose: So I've got a few things that are coming out of the factory of my mind that I'm thinking of wrangling down
1. Wanting to read more. I am going to read the following books, starting from left to right.
From left to right...Love or Die, Crazy Love, The Prodigal God, a Shelter in the time of Storm

The plan is to read these books by the end of March. None of them is particularly long. I will report back with the results...or not. I've asked a party of people to keep me accountable to this goal so... results pending.

2. Prepare and host an audio podcast. This one has been pretty exciting to think about. This past weekend I put together an outline for the very first episode of ${podcast.name}. Hopefully we'll be able to record sometime next week and have something by the end of February that people can actually listen to. I don't actually expect it to be of any high quality, to make any money off of it, or for it to have any sort of popular following. Just doing something that I think would be fun, interesting, and stimulating for the group of people I'm pulling together to do this thing.

A question in regards to doing a podcast: does anyone have any ideas for theme music? I have a couple people I'm thinking of asking to compose stuff for me, but if anyone has anything in mind I'm open to that as well.

Sorry for the randomness in the structuring of this post. I've been spending a lot of time looking at Ant Scripts and .xml formatting.

Odd Findings

It is very odd, the places you find yourself on a day to day basis in the Philippines. One day you might find yourself teaching the unruly bunch of kindergarten students, the next, you could be speaking in front of a crowd of 750. Furthermore, in continuing the pattern of seemingly (not) random activities we've participated in; we rode in a motorcade/parade through the city. Never really anticipated doing that, but its National Nutrition Month here and we are participating in a 'Values and Ethics Formation Program' here. (AKA: VBS). It was...an odd experience riding through the city with Mr. and Mrs. Nutrition. Another day in the Philippines I guess. -jr

Review: Wrestling With An Angel

Haven’t reviewed a book in a while. So a miracle has happened and I have indeed finished a book and feel good enough about it to actually write something concerning it. Most of the time, when I finish reading a book I usually don’t have a strong compulsion to want to tell people to go out and read it right away. This however is not the case with “Wrestling With An Angel”. This book by author Greg Lucas has become one of the touchstone books of my life. I don’t think I am saying that too lightly. Greg Lucas operates a blog that I was pointed to by Jason Chang (hat tip engage). Gauging from how I responded to reading some entries in his blog, I clearly recall telling Susan right before I started reading, “Susan, I think this book is going to ruin me.” Wrestling With an Angel is a collection of short essays that Lucas has written, recounting experiences he and his family have with his mentally handicapped son. In humorous, heart wrenching, and pride crushing honesty, Lucas recounts

What Counts

1. Good morning world, hello today Sun overhead, grass waves below Walking to my car, hear the beep beep alarm Expressionless, Thoughtless 2. Soft breeze, harsh heat Pop the door open, keys in the ignition Turn the key, feel the rattle rattle vibration Unfocused, Drifting Can you hear it? Do you know what counts? 3. Light filters through the glass, cold air blasts Sunglasses on, vehicles move oh so quickly Radio squeals noise, words drone drone over the speakers Robotic, Insulated 4. Parking lot full, kind ladies with nice words White buildings, many people seated in a room Voices come together, they Rise and fall Rise and fall United?, Discordant Can I hear it? Do I know what counts? 3. Voices fall, words spoken from a stage A Book opened, words older than Time Universe fades, one Whisper speaks soft soft words Indefinable, Ineffable 2. Activity buzzing, crowds mixing Mouth agape, eyes welling up Sitting, silent so silent Speechless, Rising 1. Do you know what counts? Continue...
