ok i have some new tunes i’ve written and i created a myspace music to put them out there for all the world to hear. i have some of my newly learned banjo skills being debuted on of the songs. all for your listening pleasure… go here. ok… my next artist highlight will be sufjan stevens.

his albums illinoise, and michigan are amazing. this guy is a musical genius in my opinion. a strange and slightly abnormal musical genius, but a genius nonetheless. i get most of my bluegrass inspiration from this guy. go check him out.

oh some new news… (typing the same words next to each other looks weird… new news)… anyways, today i have entered the world of digital cable. 200 channels for my eyes to feast upon. who could pass up such an opportunity to rot your brain cells even more than you already have. but at least i can finally catch up on my shows and sports without having to venture to a friends house. my apartment is almost complete… i have just recently added finishing touches on the place… including a coffee table, a new desk (thanks lauren), paintings and small things to make the place a bit more like home. thank you ikea… you’ve been so good to me. and that was some new news that probably had no significance to you whatsoever… but now you know.

over and out

ray lamontagne… i cannot stop listening to his stuff.  he has one of those classic voices that you find hard to compare to anyone else.  if you haven’t fallen in love with his tunes… give him a gander.  his newest album is Till the Sun Turns Black, following Trouble, his earlier album.  check him out on myspace.

well, here is some of the newest info about me.  i’ll be heading to NICARAGUA in june!  i’ll be going with a large group from our church and we will be doing some work on a church, while also ministering to the people in the evenings.  this is a big deal to me considering the fact that i have not been out of the country since 2002.  wow, thats a long time.  the door is open and i’m jumping through with no hesitation!  we will be sending a group of students to Nigeria in july, as well as a second trip to Nicaragua in june, also.  Next year:  rumors of trips to africa, nicaragua, and even germany are being spread throughout the church.

FLAG FOOTBALL – SUNDAYS AT 2PM!!!  any and everyone is invited.  last week was our first game and we had a blast.  about  10 guys showed, and next week we are expecting 16 to 20.  if you think you can throw a ball, and catch, or run… and keep up with me, then you need to be out there!  or sit at home and watch another episode on the cooking channel.  i’m not hatin’ on the cooking channel… but football, or the cooking channel.  please.
