There and Back Again: April 2008
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. Politically Correct Bedtime Stories. I saw a Book-Off today. I had to go in. I was never really sure what Book-Off meant in Japan, and just chalked it up to one more classic case of Jenglish (Japanese-English). But, today's Book-Off located in Vancouver, brought back pleasant memories so I decided to go in for nostalgic reasons. Good thing I did! I found the most amazing book. The title? Politically Correct Bedtime Stories. May this blog live up to the same calling.

There and Back Again: Boondock Saints
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2008/06/boondock-saints.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. Last night I watched the movie Boondock Saints. With my friend Kari. The people they kill are undoubtedly the wickedest men in the city they live in. I must have fallen asleep when they mentioned the town name, but I'm thinking Boston. And so we are left with the ethical dilemma - are their actions justified? What gives me the right to decide what is truly evil beyond the universal laws? Rocco didn't get it- he didn't get that part. But that is the very thing th...

There and Back Again: June 2007
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. I have a hard time separating my life from fictional characters. I seem to identify with every character I come across. When I was in high school my two favorite characters were Jack Ryan and Jason Bourne. A CIA agent and a rogue government assassin. As of yet, my longings for both careers have not panned out. I read. That taking risks ends in disappointment and it is better to play it safe? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Worthwhile Uses of Abundant Server Space.

There and Back Again: April 2007
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. Sort of exciting, isn't it? I just found this awesome new trailer. Of Harry Potter V! I just tried on my Gryffindor robe for Kiala and Travis and it still fits. Only two more months until the best night in '07! Well, until TSO rolls into town again! This mission trip couldn't have come at a better time. I had spent the last three or four months working extremely hard at my job. It wasn't uncommon for me to work anywhere from 50-65 hours a week. So when t...Perhaps t...

There and Back Again: The Vulcan
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2008/02/vulcan.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. One of my coworkers informed me today that someone asked, "Is the Vulcan in today? He asked. "Yeah, Blake, is he in today? It's funny, because at work, it's partially true. I work with computers all day. Well, and people too, but mainly computers and solving logical problems. My mantra at work is "1's and 0's people! Deep down, I want to be known completly. And deep down, I want to know someone completly. I just don't know how to get there. Being a Vulcan is much li...

There and Back Again: November 2007
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. God has been breaking my heart down for months now. Perhaps longer. He's wanted to take control of my life, and I have wrestled Him every step of the way. I cede Him a little ground, thinking that I've given Him everything. Yet still He waits, knowing that I haven't. And I'm tired. Worn out. Frustrated. Wondering how I could seem to have it all together and yet not have anything going for me. I give up God. Your better at this anyway. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

There and Back Again: September 2007
http://blakewell.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
There and Back Again. On the way home. Each year our church, and many surrounding churches, participate in a day of community projects. We mend fences, clean yards, paint school equipment and much more. Today's work started off very similar to years in the past. I met up with some friends, we joked around as we coated a deck, and were generally having a good time. Then we went downtown. She has another night on the streets where she hopes to stay alive. What can be done in a world this broken? We had a r...

My Two Yen Worth: August 2005
http://my2yen.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
My Two Yen Worth. Monday, August 29, 2005. This is long (if you need to use the restroom, go now). I'm even using small font for this one. Here are a few things uniquely Japanese my family experienced:. Land of Bling Bling. My family thought Japan would be all skyscrapers and people. While Japan is like half of America living in California, only 12% of the land is actually urban (if my memory serves me correctly). The cities are PACKED, but there is still plenty of incredibly scenic countryside. Jordan k...

My Two Yen Worth. Monday, November 21, 2005. It is finally time! I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting the announcement of the first Purple Rainsuit Blogoff winner.
