Celebrating our Irish Brother
May 18, 2008
Today James graduates from Columbia. Today we celebrate you James.
I suggest we leave comments on ways we love James and ways James has loved us. I celebrate that I know it’s important to feel loved and desired in brotherhood and friendship and James has always made me feel this way in the way he always calls and is always up for spending time with me and sharing his life (music, art, family) with me. Also, he is awesome at playing Jim Carrey doing the lifeguard skit…
“In our competetive world we are so used to thinking in terms of ‘more’ and ‘less’ that we cannot easily see how God can love all human beings with the same unlimited love while at the same time loving each one of them in a totally unique way. Somehow we feel that our election involves another’s rejection, that our uniqueness involves another’s commonness. Somehow, we think we can only fully enjoy our being loved by God if others are loved less than we are. The spiritual life breaks these distinctions made in the context of rivalry and competition… and the closer we are to this mystery the better we can live it out in our daily life. It frees us to appreciate other people’s talents without feeling diminished by them and to lift up their uniqueness without feeling less unique ourselves. It allows us to celebrate the various ways of being human as a sign of the universal love of God.” - Nouwen

2 Wheel Convert (An Ode to Tim’s Parents)
May 14, 2008
The following are the cries of a city wanting recognition and the chronicles of a 2 wheel convert:
These past 9 months have found me in America’s second most bike friendly commuter city. Thus, I’ve been daily riding my bike 6 miles to work along the Minneapolis Midtown Greenway since the month of August. There were some frigid months, two bouts with frost bite, but many months of riding into the sun to and from work. To be the city in second place sounds pretty good in retrospect; however it’s also the first loser. Portland, that bitch of a granola eating city on the west coast is first. There are perks to being second though. For example, when you’re in second you work the hardest to become first. Thus, $21.5 million dollars was spent this past winter into the spring in efforts to make the Twin Cities the first. Two exciting updates:
There is now a bike parking garage (one of several in the world) located on the Midtown Greenway complete with bicycle parking, showers, coffee shop, bike repair and sales, and yes, bike valet parking (a little over the top perhaps). It’s a hub of sorts in efforts to create a more 2 wheel commuter city with a community of riders year round. It’s also right by the main bus station that goes into downtown so they’re also hoping to suck the suburbs dry of drivers and convert them to bikers.
Also this week in the cities has been Bike Walk Week (www.bikewalkweek.org). This morning the mayor rode his bike into downtown for a large celebration and loads of free food. Also, there were a handful of cafes and restaurants throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul which put on a free breakfast for everyone that rode their bike, walked, or ran to work. I ate breakfast with a whole slew of experienced or first time riders at the Birchwood cafe in South Minneapolis.
Although you may not live in this city I hope you’re reminded you’ve been given two legs and they can be used for more than just pedals that pivot backwards and forwards but up and down as well. Plus you can take a bike off of sweet jumps on the way to work, ride through rain puddles, and meet new people who also ride to work.
Hoof it.

SLIPKNOT + HAROLD & KUMAR
May 5, 2008So…
On Friday I went and saw the movie Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. It was actually really funny and horribly offensive to every possible group of people (esp. if they didn’t understand the sarcasm). But the reason I am writing to you guys about this is that Slipknot Chris #3’s mask is featured in the movie. WHAAAAA! That’s right. There is a scene…and they are in a car…and Harold is pullin some questionable items out of a bag and pulls out Chris’ mask. I got way excited and started laughing and realized that sadly, no one else in the theater knew what it was. 
:(
Anyways, I love you guys and I had never been more proud to have been from Iowa then at that moment. The moment when a “local band” gets an item of their stage show featured in a trashy comedy sequel.
Reel Life…check it out.
