nu thang
my wife is a great cook. she pretty much cooks me 3 meals a day, and they always seem to be whatever I am thinking would be the best thing to eat at that moment. it is usually super creative and interesting, but even when it is pretty conventional, it hits the spot.
we are lucky, or blessed people. we complain about our country, our economy, and even our daily lives which usually consists somewhat of responsibilities that we make for ourselves. consumer stuff, like clothes, activities, entertainment, materialism. one thing I know is that Jesus loved the poor and oppressed. I can't imagine how cliche and annoying I might sound right now, and how often I say that too. I don't know much about it but I know hundreds of people are dead or wounded around India from terrorist bombings or attacks. people are starving, desperate, and lost hope. we have the advantage of growing up in America, the ideal of freedom and hope, and it is hard for us to even see what goes on around the world, let alone make an impact. it almost seems like there are 2 type of people, those that believe we've earned the leisures we have in consumer America and those who say we need to earn them or don't deserve them. I don't know if that makes any sense, or even where I fall. I know I am thankful for the place and family I was born into, and that in my heart, as I know you all do, I feel the need for others to be able to feel that blessed.
i watched Mongol last night. loved it. there will be 2 more making a trilogy about Ghengis Khan. I am looking forward to seeing Inglorious Basterds!
tomorrow we will celebrate good harvest with good food, family, and friends, and hopefully we will all acknowledge all that we have to be thankful for, and take that everywhere we go... that is about as cheesy as I can get, but I mean it.
Life has been good, watching my kids grow is going by faster and faster all the time, as busy as we make ourselves, we are doing our best to enjoy and make well every minute of it.
who was telling me about that Disneyland nintendo game where you walk around disneyland and ride rides? I found it on ebay for like $6! yeah i bought it, it is awesome. come up and play nintendo and do puzzles with us sometime!

Used Mac?
All I want is a cheap used Mac laptop, I know nothing about Macs, macbook, pro, notebook, powerbook, whatever. I just want something that is capable of garage band, hopefully the new garage band 3, and may be capable to install pro tools, etc. on eventually.
Does anyone have any ideas, friends, or computers you want to sell??? It is probablyu impossible to do this for around $200 right? Gotta try, maybe I could dig up somemore cash if I find a good deal... It would be my christmas present from my wife. This is weird I have never written a blog like this!

people writing about posting
thats who i'm joining. need to keep up and update. this blog world actually is amazing, its not just a web log but its like your own website that you take pride in, well some people do i guess. some of our best friends that we don't even seem to know anymore (which is no ones' fault) still chat and communicate / keep up on here. it is scary how we drift apart, adulthood, life, plans, future, i'm always thinking nostalgically about our old commune ideas.
andrea and i played a show last week in norwalk and made a date night out of it, went out to dinner at buca di beppos. so good. i yelled "buca!" and got the employees all riled up. the show was fun, played lots of new songs and covers we never get to play. might do that more often.
we took our christmas pictures at JC Penny yesterday. i'll sum it up with this: owen yelling, doing buzz light year poses, with blood dripping down his face from taking off a bandaid (which he is wearing in the photos), esme running in circles in christmas pajamas trying to pull down the background curtain. the picture lady had sweat dripping down her face. disaster, and loving every minute of it. you have to have fun with it. actually esme did really good. owen on the other hand... we had a great day.
could never have imagined being this busy. more routine every year, and i am growing more and more content with it. everyday is hard work no matter what with these kids. We don't sleep enough, things like having a clean house or cool style house or whatever don't really exist. we spend our quality time together as a couple late at night after the kids went to bed around 8 and we spent a couple hours catching up on... everything. Andrea is a machine. we are looking into buying a house up here. i have realized through getting depressed about not playing music more or sitting around thinking about all we wish we could do, that if we were in those situations we would probably long for what we have right here and now. that God probably saved me from wasting time with things that don't glorify him or make any differences. realizing how easy it is to get caught up in our own significance. and with all the crazy politics, i just hope good people don't judge good people on their political veiws, as if someone has it all figured out...
ONE IN THE SAME
to the saints
give up your fame
we're one in the same
to the faint
lift up your head
see that instead
we're one in the same
to the preachers
down from your thrones
lay down your stones
we're one in the same
to all you children
the young and the wise
the old and the bold
we're one in the same
bring your joy
bring your pain
we come in here different
but we're leaving the same
well you call yourself a lover
you call yourself a sinner
you call yourself nothing
but we're one in the same
