Oh hey. Sorry I’ve been MIA. But I didn’t have much to say. And the skies have been really gray. And other things have been filling up my day. I didn’t mean to stay away…so long, mmm’kay? I’m done. I retire from rapping. Quit while you’re ahead and all that. It’s Music Monday, so we […]

Year in Review—2012
It’s that time again folks: New Year’s. Time for the fifth annual Lord of the Rings marathon. And time to look back over the year that was. Time for the 2012 Year in Review post! I’ve been doing this same survey meme thing for the past few years (2010, 2011) and I’ll be honest—it’s starting […]
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight
Taking a break from the Christmas music today. I’ve really been loving this album lately and this song seemed appropriate today. ps – this song is also killer
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
I’ve started two write nearly one million (approx.) posts this week and have not followed through on any of them. I don’t feel particularly interesting right now. Or witty. Or inspired. I feel like sitting on my couch in sweatpants, reading the Hobbit and not talking to anyone. I am excited for Christmas! Excited that […]
You know, deck them halls and all that stuff?
Big news you guys, we have a Christmas Tree! I have never decorated my own house for Christmas before. Since I go back home to Edmonton every year to be with my family I’ve just never bothered. But this year I really wanted a tree. Maybe because I finally have a place that feels homey […]
Desperately Seeking Santa
Christmas music seems to have become a particularly polarizing topic in the past few years. Some people love it and start posting about it on Facebook in early November, while others like to take a the Ebenezer Scrooge route of “ABSOLUTELY NO CHRISTMAS ANYTHING UNTIL DECEMBER FIRST AND EVEN THEN YOU’RE PUSHING IT.” When it […]
Know this, the victory is not yours to be had. So give up.
During my brief foray into filmmaking a few weeks ago, when I put together the promo video for Pantherwagon, I experienced a great deal of frustration trying to get iMovie to do what I envisioned in my head. “UGH THIS IS SO HARD!” I texted my filmmaker friend Ryan, “I have so much respect for […]
And don’t you know that it’s just you, Hey Jude, you’ll do.
When I was in Grade 6 I was determined to learn “Let it Be” on the piano. I practiced that song harder than anything I ever had before or since. Ok, I probably put more time into my second year scale juries at GMac but not by much. I stretched my eleven year old fingers […]
On being thankful even though it’s not my holiday.
Every week at Community Group we go around the room and I make everyone say something that they are thankful for or something that God is doing in their life or something they’ve been learning over the past few weeks. It’s a totally cheesy exercise, but I like it and I’m the leader so everyone […]
The Mondayest of Mondays
Did you guys ever read that book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day when you were a kid? From the moment Alexander wakes up, things just don’t go his way. He trips on a skateboard and drops his sweater in the sink, his teacher doesn’t like his picture of an invisible […]
