getting halfstepped into a corner

I love kung fu, and while it may be hard to believe, studying kung fu aids in my spiritual growth. One of the ways it aids me is that it gives me an avenue of expressing abstract principles of truth that stick with me.
here is a great example that I am teaching now in […]

Artist: Nick Cannon
Song: Can I Live
I dare you to watch this video and not be moved. I don’t know anything about this guy but I like this song and think the song and video deserve our support. I’ll let the song speak for itself.

Hot Library Smut It’s not what you’re thinking. ;) Completely safe for work. Just some really nice pictures of Library interiors from a bibliophile. Also, apparently, the Jedi Archives in Episode 2 were modeled after the Long Room Library, Trinity College of Dublin

The difference is akin to driving a manual versus an automatic shifting vehicle. The principles of driving are still the same, only one is different that the other. Thankfully, ‘62 (the name […]

Evolution of a Song::Adding Blue

For those of you who don’t know, a friend of mine from College named my guitar the Blue Ox (I just call her Blue). I think he was trying to do a British accent and call it the Blue Ax, but butchered the accent and made it sound like Ox.

Superman Returns

Heck yeah he did!
After five years of “retirement” Superman returns to pretty much the same world he left. Chaos ensues and blah, blah, blah, Superman!
Not much more can be said by this author without revealing major character arcs and plot lines.  I will say that all CG was very well done.  They did the job that should have […]

Have you ever wondered why Gollum looked so good…
