cook out

So I promised Ben that I would upload some photos of the cookout we had outside of his home. Don’t let him fool ya, he can cook a mean steak for a Finn! we also had grilled figs filled with chocolate, very interesting. Oh and notice that even in Finland weber is the only way to grill.

for lent

So this past lent season I gave up morality. What a ride. More to come…

I thought that was a metaphore

A friend sent me this and I just couldn’t resist sharing.

update on the hole-ie bible

Of Course I am referring to the Western Bible, which apparently has sold quite a few copies in the short time that it has been out.  This is the bible that has literally cut out the harder parts of scripture, things like really loving your neighbor, living in simplicity, seeking true justice, without prejudice, for all people. So why, why would they do that? Because it’s funny! And perhaps it is the slap in the face a lot of us need.

see also this post…for more on this.  Oh and the bible is only avainalble in Dutch, so far.

Tell me a story, tell you a story

Last semester I wrote a short story titled Real Problems. I am now deciding to share. Your thoughts are welcomed. The story is still a work in progress, I hold all the rights, yadda, yadda, and, oh, you can download a copy here.

citywide hide and seek

Wouldn’t it be fun? I had this idea while I was hiding out in the suburbs today. A friend called me and apologized for bugging me at work (thanks Forrest). I told him that I was actually hiding out in the suburbs, to which he promptly responded, “I’m going come find you, I’m gonna hunt you down.” What a great idea I thought, a game of citywide hide and seek. Surely someone else has had to have played this before, so I googled it, Here are some of the results…

The game would be played in teams of hiders and seekers. We use cars, but must stay in public places, so you can’t just drive around all day we would put a limit to how long you can drive around before going to a public place where you must remain for 30 minutes or so. After you leave you must tell the seekers where you just were, and possibly give a hint to where you are going, say in the form of a riddle. We’d use cell phone to tag people we catch. We could even play the game downtown and on foot for some smaller scale practice… huh whadda you think, wanna play…
