Childrens Play Thing

Usually something like this would go on electronicalifornia, but im currently reworking it so I dont want to add anything. Not sure if this has any commentary associated, I guess it is what is to you. As I’ve always* said, “See the art, Be the art”.

RE: FW: NO SUBJECT

The Office begins again this thursday. I am happy and sad. Happy because it brings me pleasure. Sad because life will now “need” to be adjusted to accomodate the timing of tv show schedules. We are having a small get together at the house on thursday for the Season premiere. My wife created the below invitation. It’s perfect and my wife is supposedly the “non-creative*” one.

*taken from the dutch word nocroet which, in english, literally translates to unpretentious.**

**taken from the dutch word dboulsit which, in english, literally translates to bullsh…you get it.

EDIT: Just because you saw this here doesn’t mean your invited…okay maybe if you comment (excluding, Moncrief)

Quest for the Holy Salsa

Supposedly this salsa is killer. So much so that a food reviewer tried to get genetics scientists to analyze it’s dna to find out how to make it. They failed, but a super-taster succeeded.

I understand the never-ending quest to create restuarant quality salsa at home. I’ve even thought of moonlighting as a mexican restuarant chef to steal my favorite recipes. My addiction knows no limits. Even now I am thinking about Taco Tuesday and the avocado salsa at Taco Mesa.

I’m gonna try this recipe this weekend and I’ll let you know.

Dinner Anyone?

Its 11:30 and I’m hungry. This sounds delicious.

Pan Bagnat
Literally meaning “bathed bread,” this sandwich, which originates from the Provence region of southern France, makes great picnic fare and can be made up the night before to allow the flavors to mingle.

Don’t know how many Darth Vader parodies I’ve seen, but I’m still laughing.

Jesus Picture of the Week

Jesus

I was pondering war and Jesus tonight. I asked myself if Jesus would support the war in Iraq or any war for that matter. I don’t know. I don’t think so. Love your enemies definitely doesn’t sound like his hat in the ring. Blessed are the peacemakers, do to others as you would have them do to you…here’s a good one:

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Add in his love for the downtrodden and disdain for his local bureaucracy and it seems like Jesus would most definitely be against war.

How can we marry this image of God with the one we get in the old testament? A God who seemingly supported war and violence against his enemies and those of his people.

So we are left with a good question:

Does God changes his mind?

It’s not unprecedented, but it makes it hard to believe in an infallible God.

Let’s take a look at our current war for a second without getting too political. Simplifying it, republicans support the war (or at least did initially) and democrats don’t (or didn’t). Now, I won’t say ALL Christians are republicans but that is the traditional party affiliation (for some good and bad reasons), so I understand why Christians politically supported the war because they were supporting the consensus of one our their social groups, but what if they really thought about it…

I don’t think we can be social or religious Jesus followers but not political ones. Heart, Soul, Mind, Strength…he pretty much covered everything.

What do you guys think?

Pop Furniture

Mario Warp Tube Chair

I don’t actually think that’s what it supposed to be, but for all my fratboy readers this would make a great addition to your beer stained room.*

Although I dont have any fratboy readers, its fun to pretend right?

Doing The Lords Work

Worldview Weekend teaches people to think and live like a christian.

Apparently that means petitioning Dubya to keep the mexicans out…

We all know there are three things God really hates…lepers, mexican truck drivers and gays…especially the real flamboyent ones.

Oh wait…thats not what he said…

I’ll give you a hint…vipers
