http://postmodernnotes.blogspot.com/2011/06/redemption-of-tourist-part-i.html

Culture, faith and other deconstructed stuff. Thursday, June 9, 2011. The Redemption of the Tourist: Part I. Few can foresee whither their road will lead them, till they come to its end." - Legolas in. I’ve been on a long road since October, 2010, and my circumstances, emotions and duties have demanded every last second of time and energy. Every exit has passed by in a blur, and, as Garth would say, that white line just kept getting longer and longer. This road has gone ever on and on. 8226; Took a two w...

Culture, faith and other deconstructed stuff. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Sorry for the silence. The second half of my summer got jammed full of more trips, activities and stuff than a lifetime worth of Summers of George could dream of. Once we returned from Pine Ridge, it was time to pack up our apartment – our first home together – and move. Just down the road, actually. To a basement. Into the basement of an elderly lady’s house. For almost rent-free. Earlier in the summer, Lindsey came to know Cat...

Culture, faith and other deconstructed stuff. Thursday, October 21, 2010. Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. At least no one is taking Juan Williams to court over his opinions on Islam:. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. A Tale of Two Headlines. Two headlines caught my eye yesterday, one at National Review Online and the other on the BBC website.

Post subtitle: “There and Back Again – A Tenant's Tale”. 8220;The dragon was dead, and the goblins overthrown, and their hearts looked forward after winter to a spring of joy.”. We really did that? We really voluntarily wanted these roles in this story? Last September, I wrote. Or so we thought. I’m writing this from my new old apartment, so things obviously didn’t pan out as we ha...In one sense,...

Notes from Postmodernity: Luther as the Rugged Individualist

http://postmodernnotes.blogspot.com/2010/10/luther-as-rugged-individualist.html

Culture, faith and other deconstructed stuff. Friday, May 28, 2010. All is Not Lost: My Lost Series Finale Review. Those last 15 minutes. Oh, those last 15 minutes. They will go down as the most controversial/gripping 15 minutes in television history. What was shaping up to be a series finale to end all series’ finales, the last 15 minutes of Lost. Airtime took a Titanic. Sized turn for the bizarro. I’ve been with Lost. But before we begin, a few things need to be understood:. 3 In TV critic Alan Sepinwa...

Culture, faith and other deconstructed stuff. Friday, June 10, 2011. The Redemption of the Tourist: Part II. Post subtitle: "The First Season". It’s not easy being a head coach when an assistant coach thinks I’m one of the players the first time we meet. So I look younger than my ripe, 26 years of age. And at 5’9”, I don’t exactly possess the gravitas of Phil Jackson, John Thompson or Rex Ryan. The only players I stand above are the foreign exchange students from South Korea. With only one game left in t...
