Although I savor moments of silence and solitude, people who know me also know that I have a tendency to rattle on...and on...and on some special days...on. It's not exactly Logorrhoea, but it's close enough to be considered a mild case.

*If you've ever played Simcity, you'll remember Arcologies, the massive buildings in which a person could happily live their entire lives without ever leaving (why? I have no clue). Paolo Soleri's concept of a city within a city, buildings which could house everything …

When I was nine years old, I expressed some anger I had felt to my mother. In response, she offhandedly replied that these particular emotions were somehow caused by Satan. I remember being really angered by that answer. My mother is not the type to just toss out common …

Here's an article talking about the anti-war protests this weekend in Washington D.C. which involved some of my favorite nomads, The Psalters.
I had an unwanted epiphany today. I'm depressed. There have been little clues in the last few weeks that have become more obvious with this realization. Today's complete lack of interest in anything and the general malaise tipped me off. It's an unpleasant …

I was watching The Edukators this evening with my Mom. It's the second time I've seen the film, and it's odd how a film can change by simply changing the people with whom you view it. But that's really a topic for a different post. My Mom's reaction to the three …
Just noting a few new links on the 'ol blogroll:
Hypergraffiti: The journal of Trudy Morgan Cole, a Canadian author from St. John's Newfoundland. She is one of the few Adventist fiction writers I really respect. Check out her great book review vignettes found under the "
My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed myself
and quieted my ambitions.
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a …

Oh well now, this is fascinating, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and British Columbian premier Gordon Campbell (who environmentalist have been fairly wary of it seems) are uniting in order to create a bloc of Pacific coast states and provinces that will …
Nathan Brown at Re-Inventing the Adventist Wheel suggests that we need to practice sadness.
After conversation with Lizzy last night that wound it's way through our thoughts and confusions about God, I realized that a lot of questions I had thought were resolved had been unearthed. So this morning, I went through my book collection to find some of the books …
Destiny Drama Company was my family, my church, my community for two-and-a-half years. I had a blast being their photographer and I hope the enjoyment was mutual. 

Rather randomly, I decided to read through my old blog Ye Old Dream Shoppe, and as I scanned the entries, I decided that a few of them seemed worth salvaging. The blog spans a good bit of my college experience at Southern and it's fairly humbling to read through my time …
Stanley P., a good friend of mine, and fellow graduate of Southern's film program, produced this excellent little video. The link sends you to Progressive Adventism, which is featuring the video. Enjoy.
I was reading Hosea this morning, had opened my Bible randomly and so I figured, why not? I'll read here. I love Hosea because of it's portrayal of God as a heartsick lover, trying to win back his wife. Of course, there's the bloody introduction to the book where God …
I was poking around my cd collection, looking for music to add to iTunes when I rediscovered Sixpence None the Richer. Odd how you don't realize how much you've missed something until you find it again. They weave songs that make me dance quietly around my room, lost in …
I was cooking lunch today and was struck by all the colors of the garlic, tempeh, and bell peppers so with my trusty Mac's built in camera (you use what you can), I took a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. 
And the final result:

I am still young in my artistic journey and so I may not have all my facts straight, but I felt I stumbled onto something insightful today. I should not, many of the things I am saying apply to us as humans in general, but I felt like there was additional meaning or …
I've been looking at the map here at The Nomad Chronicles every few days or so and I've noticed that all kinds visitors from interesting places keep popping up on the map. I'd love to know a little about the people behind the dots. So if you're wiling to pull back your …
