ShareThis, not that

Ahhh, the joys of Facebook.  You know, you get all those friends from High School and college wanting to reconnect.  You message back and forth a few times and then get busy with life again.  Well, I got reconnected with Tim Schigel last fall.  He and I were fraternity brothers at Case Western.  We used to play in a band we founded called Skydiver because we actually went skydiving during out first couple weeks of college and couldn’t really think of a better name.

Perspective - Simple Advice from a man named Jones

Ever had someone see something great in you and you laughed it off, fearful of being too prideful?  Or some destructive habit you enjoy and are too stubborn to let anyone stop you from continuing (it’s your life after all)?  It’s so hard to get outside of who we think we are to see us as we were meant to be.  It’s like the difference in how you view a cornfield maze depending on whether you are walking amidst the stalks or seeing it from a view high above after getting dropped out an airplane in a tandem skydive.  (more...)

Mike Evans book, The Final Move Beyond Iraq: The Final Solution While the World Sleeps, is a very well detailed and historically accurate review of key points in the past 50 years that have led to the current struggle with Islamic Terrorism and the dangers we as Americans face here at home. It has some obvious political leanings, Read the rest of this entry »

Shane Claiborne’s Community Fire

This morning, a 7-alarm fire consumed an abandoned warehouse in our Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia. The Simple Way Community Center at 3200 Potter Street was destroyed as well as at least eight of our neighbors’ homes. Over 100 people were evacuated from their homes, and 400 families are currently without power. Despite this developing tragedy, we are incredibly thankful to share that all of our community members and every one of our neighbors is safely out of harm’s way. Read the rest of this entry »

New vblog up

Hello… a right old rambling of me trying to get across various things and actually looking back on it not playing you very much music er… anyway…I mostly re-visited Tidal and I absolutely love it now. Swoon sneak peak.. and whizzy BBD thing… I did a lot more than that.. but yeah. Got the beginnings of a new track down. It’s gonna be all a cappella (apart from a few birds and possible fire cracklings). Listen to Mic Check for reference on type of vocal sounds… this is super rough, thrown down in a couple of hours.

Final Maui Ivory Noodles

Last few hours in beautiful Maui. I wish I didn’t have to go back. The thought of finishing this album is filling me with dread. I haven’t done what I’d hoped to do while I was here. I do have another 12 hours before my flight though so maybe I still might plus the 20 hour flight back home! Read the rest of this entry »

Guilty Before Proven Innocent?

HTML clipboardIt seems like everyone has already decided that Barry Bonds is guilty of anything that anyone wants to accuse him of. Everywhere I look…Barry…Steroids…Guilty…Perjury…

It is a crappy thing if you ask me. Let the guy play baseball!!!!!!!!! I still LOVE to watch this guy swing the bat. IF he is proven guilty, THEN do and talk…

If you get the chance to watch “Bonds On Bonds” on ESPN Tuesday nights. Pretty cool TV I must say. You get to see a lot more of Barry Bonds than the media would like for you to see.

I guess I am just sick of hearing about how Barry is a sinning scum of a person. But, hey don’t listen to me…I like Pete Rose, Kobe Bryant, and the music of Michael Jackson.
