Vol. II

I'm the brother

Brandon has been kind enough to allow me to use his blog to premiere my new project. Actually, there are only a few people who will probably find this interesting, but this project has been a blast so far. There is hopefully more to come in DVD form and even more trailers. A trailer for Memories Vol. 2 may be up tomorrow. Hope you enjoy.

white card of death

we had my friend marie over for dinner last night. during our conversation, we had the inspiration to make a short music video. i now present to you: "the white card of death".

breathing and enjoying the color blue

it seems the only time i sit down and write. is when i can't sleep. i woke up this morning thinking it was six am and when i looked at the clock it was two am. I got a few more hours of sleep but woke up around five wide awake. the sun has not risen yet, and outside you can hear the stirring of the day beginning.
i need some music to listen too. however, i need something that sets the mode of the morning. i put on some joshua james (pitchfork and crash this train) and begin to unfold the expectations of the day. it is somewhat typical. shower, driving my car, interacting with people, being nice to my bosses, missing my wife, driving some more, helping others plan out their future, make a few jokes, return home, dinner, a little fun evening fun and then bed.
while laying in bed, i thought about life. i thought about all the choices that i have made. how they collide with other choices. i recall old road trips, hard choices, concerts, friends from the past, family, death, moments that always make me smile, awful music and many more. thinking over all of these moments, i see how Christ has shown up.
i have nothing really profound to say, but merely that i see it occurring. i think sometimes God awakens me in the morning to make me ponder over and over about life. to take a moment and realize that i am alive. breathing and enjoying the color blue.

summer tale

sometimes I like to make pretty videos of my wife. this is one of them. we took a walk in the woods and enjoy the summer evening. The song that is playing in the video i really enjoy. it is called " I Can't Get You Out of My Mind" by Matthew Perryman Jones. Enjoy.

im irish....

claire asked me to make her a mix full of irish tunes from my itunes. while i was putting together a collection of fun, whiskey drinking, toe tapping and story telling tunes. I then remembered Kate Rubsy. Anyone heard of her? Well if not, you should. Check out the album called "Ten" which is a greatest hits collection. Her voice is heart-breaking and her story telling (that is how irish sing by the way) whimsickle!
"Ten" reminds me of winter of 2004. I remember driving to westboro, ma and going to six or seven record shops trying to find this record before i returned to college. I finally found it in a borders books. It was winter time, snow was on the ground and sun was going down. Irish music has wonderful winter emotions. I know it is summer. but it feels good to feel cold. At least when it is 95 outside.

in the morning

i must admit.
i have been enjoying some Banana Nut Cheerios.
i think i eat about three bowls a day.
