This needs some work, but it’s straight from my heart/mind onto the page… it’s raw and was written directly after tonight’s gig at the dorms and reflecting on the first week and a half of the school year. It’s just kinda how I feel right now. So… ya.

I guess I’m just connecting with the disciples right now… how they must have felt as Jesus lead them around Gallilee doing all sorts of crazy stuff..

Hope you enjoy it.

You told us to get up and come, and follow as you go
you told about the kingdom, and other things we didn’t know
We saw you heal we saw you glow, you are the son of God
We had it made, or so we thought, but then it got real odd

I’m just a simple fisherman
And he just keeps the books
now with all these prostitutes and thieves
have you thought of the way that looks?

Things were going fairly well on a sunny, breezy day
everyone gathered round to listen. you even sent the rain away
Then afternoon turned to evening and we could feel the shifting mood
We looked to you, we always do. you said to give them food…

But I’m just a simple fisherman
And he just helps people pay their dues
There’s five thousand starving people
what on earth are we supposed to use?

This was supposed to be easy supposed to be fun, you had come to win
you were here to save the world, and bring the kingdom in
you even rose from the grave, that was the best trick yet
but then you left us here alone, and told us not to forget

But I’m just a simple fisher-dude
And he just works for the man
Theres a hundred screaming lepers
And I can’t heal them, and you can

I’m just a simple fisherman
And he just pays his dues
There’s so much work left to be done
Help us follow through

I’m just a simple fisherman
And we don’t have a clue
There’s so much work left to be done
help us follow through….

I kinda forgot to post this big piece of news (well.. big to me anyway) when it happened a few weeks ago.

Relevant Magazine Finally Launched it’s new design after missing it’s original deadline by MONTHS because of bugs and features that weren’t quite ready.

All in all the new design is pretty, as is to be expected from their great group of extremely hip designers. They did a good job of re-organizing their fresh content, and even added a podcast (that talks about their upcoming print issue). They are still in the process of rolling out new features to the site that should make them a nu-media powerhouse.

But from a geek-saavy standpoint, it totally misses the mark. Generally speaking, the site is clunky and uses DINOSAUR code. I figured these guys would be hipster enough to be aware of Web standards. Apparently that is simply not the case. They even use a YEARS OLD VERSION of HTML! This is an inexcusable attrocity :)

Anyway, all told, great job, guys! Just get to work on your Web-geekiness. Geek is the new hip.

I heart flickr, and I know most of you use flickr rather than looking at our photo gallery, so I posted the best of the best vacation photos there. Take a look!

Sorry, I missed this one in my last run-down, and I shouldn’t have:

Serenity – What Star Wars COULD have been. Looks AMAZING. (also: trailer 2)

It looks like there are a bunch of good new movies coming out. Here’s a rundown of some ones I think look interesting, or at least noteworthy:

Doom – I think us gamer geeks have waited long enough for this one. Unfortunately it will probably suck.

Lord of War – Why does Nick Cage always follow up his really good films with really stupid ones?

The Chronicles of Narnia – The movie of the decade. Also check out the featurettes: WETA, The Director, The story.

Just Like Heaven – Looks kinda chick flicky, but hey, it has Jon Heder in it… (also trailer 2)

Aeon Flux – I used to watch this Matrix-esque cartoon back in the day (for better or worse). Wouldn’t be surprised is the Matrix was actually partially inspired by it. Good stuff. However, I don’t know about the content of this movie, so use discretion. Charlize Theron as an action hero… we’ll see.

Valiant – John Cleese, Tim Curry… as pigeons… looks like fun :) V for Vendetta – the latest from the Wachowski Brothers. Looks sweet.
