please pray for me as i am learning to let go...
my name is chris and i am a recovering christian, i am recovering from my saturated routine of life and living inside of my own comfort zones. i am a recovering christian struggling to recover from an impersonal relationship with the one who loves me furiously and constantly devastates me in the most beautiful ways, and i am fighting to learn to love furiously.
i love coffee and the colors of autumn, i love to climb and i love looking at the art that other people are, and getting to know that art intimately. i appreciate conversation, close friends, and endless skies.
i will always ride her eyes like a bycicle.

no one understood the abstract expressionist painters of a post world war two america, yet they were the first american painters taken seriously in the upper class art circles of europe (they put us on the map). people look at pollock's drizzled paint or Rothko's …

As many of you already know, on October 19, Balm will open up for "the Boss" at the House of Blues in Chicago! (7:30 PM)
Reaction has been quite enthusiastic to say the least. However the House of Blues is a rather small venue and I want my special friends in the area to be there. So here is the deal: I have reserved 50 free tickets for Zunist! That's right!
All you have to do is to show up with your Zune, show it to the bouncers and say, "I'm a friend of Steve's!" They will usher you to several mid-section tables, all expenses paid (peanuts, chips, sodas, fajitas ... all pre-paid). Be sure to show early on the day of the show, because when the 50 are gone that's it!
Bruce said, "please open up with So Far Away From Home!"
We are gonna' rock the house baby!

Emily ..the rancor, Mar 24, 2008:
yeah... well it made me more concious of how i described mySELF.... because... i wouldn't want people to leave my page not thinking about Jesus. umm my show is this next thursday... following the spring break week.... well thats like the prep show... some students are coming in to ask me questions and then the actual show is the following week.....
i want to do teeshirts.... my friends started a company : ThreadAcademy ... they want all the profit to go towards stopping Human Trafficking... something we feel very strongly about...... so as soon as they get off the ground... i'll be giving some of my stuff over to them
Emily ..the rancor, Mar 23, 2008:
