A few points of order: THIS FIRST POINT IS HUGE. As part of my “Visionary” music CD project, I have finished the instrumentation to my first track, entitled “Set Your Eyes To Things Above.” It’s got a downtempo, Middle Eastern vibe, along with a hip hop/dance flavor to it.

Last night I blogged about how frustrated I was after seeing Oregon lose 34-24 to Arizona, thus removing my beloved Ducks from the short list of teams competing for a national football championship.

As everyone knows, I have a very different taste in music. I tend to enjoy more electronically-based music, even if it’s not flat-out house music. Electro-rock is one of my favorites, and even downtempo lounge music is great as well. That being said, what are some of your types of music you enjoy that might [...]

“That’s unpossible!” Actually, due to the wonders of Photoshop and trick photography, last night I was able to stand out in the fog outside my house and take a photo consisting of three incarnations of myself. Here’s the result…

Veterans’ Day And Two Birthdays

I guess the group of veterans includes me, since I did serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom. What I did over there was peanuts, compared to what most other people over there are doing. I remember going out on convoys and being so scared the first time I went out under the cover of darkness — [...]

I am a firm believer in the fact that God helps those who call on His name. I am also a firm believer in the fact that God’s way of helping some people is simply to extend his hand to us after we have fallen, and then prods us to go help ourselves. Well, this [...]
