Well...  Not much to say except that I am doing it.  I had a friend challenge me last week to Juice with him, I immediately told him I am not into illegal drugs...  Come to find out there is a new craze going on out there called Juicing.  Just like everything else new, people spend lots of money, get crazy results, and want you to join in.  I was immediately a skeptic, but I decided to watch the movie 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead' anyway.  You can get it on NetFlix.  As I ashamed as I am to admit the following statement, I was inspired.  These people not only had crazy results, but they did it without doing something...

In hopes that men everywhere don't get a stuck with a tie, socks, or a pair of designer underwear, I have compiled the 2011 Ultimate Buying Guide for Dudes.  This list covers items from $20, all the way up to $4,500 for those of you guys who like to dream.  I guarantee the Dudes in your life will like anything on this list, if not, you can forward all unwanted gifts in my direction. Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas!

Last July I launched this blog with 2 goals in mind.  Number one, be a source of entertainment for those of you who share my love for culture, creativity, technology, and the church.  4 very distinct areas that I believe intertwine and are the catalyst for the future ahead of us.

For those of you who know me, you are probably in shock that I would say such a thing. It is contrary to my nature, my actions, and everything I believe in. I typically sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the next big thing. I am a dreamer and have the tendency to live for what is next, rather than living in the moment. Even as a 10 year old I would rearrange my bedroom every 2 weeks to keep things interesting.  I have sat in many boardrooms meeting with clients challenging them to mix things up and move forward.

2. It's what the cool kids are doing?It is an indisputable fact that cool people twitter, no twitter in itself does not make them cool, it's just a reality of twitter's sociological makeup. You want to be cool don't you?...

There is a modern epidemic in the church. Not disease or pestilence, but an Identity crisis. We have become relaxed, afraid, and weak. Just like the current debate over the US economy, we can sit around and blame people, or we can grab our bootstraps and get to work.
