we dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home
now here i cannot feel the wind, cant feel the rain oh no
and i believe in gentle harmony
well how i loathe all this obscenity
is this the way my life has got to be?
have i a single opportunity?

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no

Thoughts on Michael Jackson

By El Clinto on Thu, Jun 25, 09 at 09:33 PM | Permalink | Comments

Many of you heard or read about the death of Michael Jackson today. I found out through twitter moments after it happened. It's shocking news, to think of a world without Michael Jackson is surreal. My first cassette at the age of 7 was Michael Jackson's BAD and my first CD at the age of 11 was Dangerous. He was an icon in our culture and this...

On Tuesday I blogged about the [he]art exhibit, an amazing effort by our friend Manny, an art student at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota who poured the casts for each [he]art and invited a community of artists and friends to each paint, decorate and design them individually. Each [he]art has it's own name and story. We love this,...

Tis the Season, Right?

By El Clinto on Tue, Dec 23, 08 at 09:51 PM | Permalink | Comments

For some, "the season" is a house full of family, food and love. For others it may be a reminder of how far removed we are from those we love by either a job we're at to make ends meet or maybe it's because we're across the world enlisted in the military or serving in a third world country. Yet, for others it may be a time of complete...

It's Election day everyone, Don't forget how to love.

A short story from my friend PJ:

"This morning the rock (a focal point at my school) was painted with “OBAMA Vote!”

 

Then someone put “SUCKS” under that.

Then someone egged it.

Where is the love? Division and hatred at a Christian School? Honestly?
