The Nick & Josh Podcast: Version 1.5

For those of you interested, we just got finished interviewing Tony Jones, National Coordinator of Emergent Village, for the 5th installment of our podcast. You can find it here.
And Nick’s site here.

Tony was kind enough to give us an hour of his time and share with us some of the things that are coming down [...]

Video Blog 1.1

So I did my first video blog today. You can check it out here. I’m having trouble getting to load in automatically. I’ll keep playing with it though.

I want to thank Jessica for the inspiration and creative framework.

Peter Gammons

There are not too many “stars”, Hollywood or otherwise, that I feel deeply about. Like if something happened to them, I would lose any more sleep on them than over an “average” loss. But Peter Gammons is different.
I know I’m late on this, but Peter Gammons had a brain aneurysm yesterday. He is now listed [...]

Favorite Movie

With our podcast with Tony Jones coming shortly, and my quasi-deep post on The Art of Slow Living earlier in the week, I thought I’d keep things on the lighter side. Thus, my unveiling of my comic book checkered past with the Spider-Man post. And today, I present to you more superfluous fluff by recommending [...]

Spider-Man 3

All I have to say is . . . superb. Anytime I spend close to an hour on Wikipedia reading about something, you know I’m either a dork or it’s really good.
I propose that this is a combination of both.
Plus, if I use the word symbiote within a post . . .
Venom, Man-Wolf, Sandman, Green [...]

The Art of Slow Living (or a critique and reaction to consumeristic culture, further known as my attempt to subvert the rat race, also known as my exploration of biodiesel as a viable fuel option) or Simply Put, The Deconstruction of Me

I want to live slower.

In a time and place where the young elite (and the middle-aged elite and the not so young-elite but just plain young, and for that matter the plain middle-agers . . . and even some older people . . . and kids . . . and . . . well it’s [...]

Anna’s Birthday

Well we made it back from our little birthday trip. We had a great time celebrating the big 23 year old birthday of my wife. We basically didn’t do much outside of sleep, lay around the pool, and talk.
Anna almost got sideways with a woman over a previous pool altercation and I had to get [...]

The De-Evolution of a Beard

After much thought and consideration, I decided to do away with my beard. What most fans of beards don’t understand is that over time, the beard begins to develop a smell. And no matter how much shampoo and conditioner you use. And no matter how much you delicately blow dry it. And no matter how [...]

Jekyll Island

We’re going out of town this weekend to Jekyll Island for Anna’s birthday. We’ll be staying at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel where we had our marriage ceremony at. And I’m not trying to brag or anything, but our wedding recently made it to their website (here).

Well . . . I should say Anna made [...]

Sufjan

I love Sufjan. I’ve already listened to this song at least a thousand times this morning. The last two little verses are so me.
Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and [...]
