Super Bowl, like the biggest sporting event of the year or whatever. Here are my thoughts. HUD The Super Bowl went for a minimalized HUD, displaying all the necessary information, the score, the yards and downs, the timeouts, the time, the quarter, and which team had possession all in the center third of the screen.Continue reading “Quick Supah Bowl Thoughts”

On Kanye West, Christian Music, and “Jesus is King” Part 2.
Alright. Part 2. I ended Part 1 with a less than positive review of “Closed on Sunday” and “On God.” My problems were with the way that in this album being pitched as Kanye’s first gospel album, the one which is supposed to start his career in exclusively christian music was focused so deeply onContinue reading “On Kanye West, Christian Music, and “Jesus is King” Part 2.”
On Kanye West, Christian Music, and “Jesus is King” Part 1.
Is no one on Earth talking about this album anymore? Is this album effectively irrelevant to the cultural zedgiest? Then it’s time for me to weigh in! So I never really got into Kanye West. I liked “Ni**as in Paris,” I laughed along with everyone else at the Bound 2 video, I remember laughing hystericallyContinue reading “On Kanye West, Christian Music, and “Jesus is King” Part 1.”
On Meditation and the 23rd Psalm.
I have never, ever been consistent about my spiritual practices. Even the ones I like I find excuses not to do them. But one of the ones I’ve found to be most consistently fruitful in my adulthood is the recitation of the 23rd Psalm. I’m sure we all know it, believer and non-believer alike, TheContinue reading “On Meditation and the 23rd Psalm.”
On the Other Side of the New Decade
This is the first post i’ve started, nearly finished, then scrapped entirely. The point of this post was supposed to be more positive and focusing on the application of what I talked about in my post on failure and not just be complaining about an entire decade rather than just one year. Because even inContinue reading “On the Other Side of the New Decade”
On Teaching and Failure.
“I can’t be what she needs me to be.” “Heeded my words not, did you? “Pass on what you have learned.” Strength, mastery, hmm… but weakness, folly, failure, also. Yes, failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke… We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.” -Luke andContinue reading “On Teaching and Failure.”
Why We Should All Just Relax About “White Jesus”
Jesus was a Jew from 1st Century Palestine. There, now you don’t need to read the articles from buzzfeed or vox or aj+ or whoever else that think they’re just…shattering the world of white Americans. Just about every American Christian I know is fully aware that Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew. I’m sure thereContinue reading “Why We Should All Just Relax About “White Jesus””
A Comprehensive Review of Dark Empi- I mean, The Rise of Skywalker
Today I’m going to talk about a Star Wars story. A story that involved the Emperor being reborn, a hidden Imperial/Sith fleet appearing from an uncharted planet bathed in the Dark Side, about Star Destroyers with planet killing weaponry, and the Emperor’s plan to transfer his spirit from his cloned body into the spirit ofContinue reading “A Comprehensive Review of Dark Empi- I mean, The Rise of Skywalker”
New Years Reflections
It has been… a long year. Let’s recap a little. This year I failed Greek II, again. Decided it was time to change degree programs, took a class at Harvard, lost my job at a church which I loved because my job was dependent on my degree, I was so stressed from finals that IContinue reading “New Years Reflections”
On the Incarnation and Christmas Eve
And here we are. Christmas Eve. The night before Christmas. The day us protestants come together to communally celebrate the coming of our LORD 2000 years ago (if I recall correct our catholic and orthodox brothers and sisters traditionally have a service on Christmas day). You know when I sit down to write these IContinue reading “On the Incarnation and Christmas Eve”
