a war of head versus heart: Privilege
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2013/08/privilege.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Sunday, August 4, 2013. Yesterday I listened to an episode of This American Life. Much like all of us, in a way, these offenders have to do whatever it takes to make a dollar. As a result of their situation, they choose selling drugs or theft to line their pockets. If I were them, I'd probably do the same thing. The One Awesome Thing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. What's Good at Trader Joe's? Kids The...

a war of head versus heart: February 2014
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. One Awesome Thing: Music Release Days. It's been over 6 months since my last blog, so it's high time to pick up the habit again. There's so much attention given to satire, negativity, or passive mocking that it's hard for millennials, like myself, to find encouraging daily reads, so I'm hoping to get back into providing these One Awesome Thing posts on a regular basis again. Over the next few years, learn...

a war of head versus heart: Losing Sight of the Good Stuff
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2014/03/losing-sight-of-good-stuff.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Losing Sight of the Good Stuff. I find myself now wanting to spend the majority of my time being productive. This could mean either exercising, practicing music, or in a faith-development scenario. These are all good things, even great things, but they're not always fun. Forcing myself to practice or exercise takes it from the realm of being a fun activity to being a chore. March 5, 2014 at 1:35 AM. This is m...

a war of head versus heart: Cross-country Roadtrip 2011
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/p/cross-country-roadtrip-2011.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. In August 2011 I took a position at the University of Washington Tacoma after having fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest over the past few years. I'd been wanting to relocate here as a result of reading one of my favorite books, Through Painted Deserts,. Which also gave me the itch to do the roadtrip out. So I left Pittsburgh on August 30th with the intention of arriving in Tacoma 6 days later on September 5th. Why I Would Rat...

a war of head versus heart: Day 4 - Rapid City, SD
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2011/09/day-4-rapid-city-sd.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Saturday, September 3, 2011. Day 4 - Rapid City, SD. My journey from Minneapolis was accompanied by the city's own The Hold Steady. I listened to Stay Positive. Jack Kerouac kept me company with On the Road. I stopped in Sioux Falls, directly between Minneapolis and Rapid City, for lunch. I made an incredible realization here that my urban mind never really thought about. People live here. So that's the end of today. Tomorrow I ...

a war of head versus heart: July 2014
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Monday, July 7, 2014. This weekend I took a trip to the Washington Family Ranch. Young Life camp in Antelope, OR, to visit friends with whom Aly worked as an intern several years ago. It was great to meet her friends, Cara and Adam, plus their two beautiful girls, Olive and Gillian, as well as to see a place that's had such an effect on her life. It reminded me quite a bit of my own experiences with Suncrest Camp. I believe in His d...

Awesome Song of the Day: 7-2-11 - "Love Is All" ~ The Tallest Man On Earth
http://awesomesongoftheday.blogspot.com/2011/07/7-2-11-love-is-all-tallest-man-on-earth.html
Awesome Song of the Day. One man's quest to enjoy life through music, and music through life. Saturday, July 2, 2011. 7-2-11 - "Love Is All" The Tallest Man On Earth. Songs like this are why I love music. Incredible, beautiful, and intricate musicianship (in this case, guitar); eloquent, thought-provoking lyrics; soul-wrenching emotion in the vocals singing those lyrics. It's a lot more mellow and sobering than the other. Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in. The pretentious bulls...

a war of head versus heart: Transition
http://johnjacobnelko.blogspot.com/2015/02/transition.html
A war of head versus heart. We are all artists. the world is our canvas. Saturday, February 28, 2015. It has been a pleasure journeying with you all on this blog. When I started this blog in 2008 I was a 23-year-old introducing you all into a transition into post-college adulthood. I have written quite a bit about Pittsburgh, God, Christianity, and simply being a twentysomething in the millennial generation. In short, I'm starting a new blog. On the new blog. Find my new blogging home on Medium. Awesome ...
