Decision.

I’ve decided that I must go home next January. It’s just not possible for me to miss another Parachute Festival. I’m going insane.
All those who want to come, start saving. We’ll all go together, it’ll be mad fun.
Fables and politics.
07 years ago
My sources indicate that Fable is coming out very, very soon. I’m excited.
I’ve been playing a lot of Jedi Academy lately. I beat it… but now I’ve gone back a level and am trying to finish it Dark Side style… it’s harder.
Due to family politics, Damien and I have moved our beds into Elliot (the youngest)’s room. Then we’ve devoted the now empty ex-bedroom to computers/turntables/TV etc. Like I said, purely political. But, it has meant that I’ve been able to set up my network for Xbox Live. There were previously some problems with cabling and topology. Now we’re all sweet. As soon as I buy a couple of games with Live playability, then I’m gonna get medieval on some people.
May 29.

In the last few months I have felt what can only be called a “quickening” within my spirit, towards some time this year, in early summer. It feels like an excitement of some kind, more anticipation really.
The date May 29th has come to mind a few times, or perhaps June 29th. I really don’t know what – if anything – will happen around this time, but still, I have this burning inside, to clean up things in my life, and to “get ready” for May 29th. Whatever that may bring.
I know I sound crazy, but yeah. That’s what I’ve been feeling.
Crazy Mexicans.

Oh man… so, I can deal with the girlie sheets… it’s really not a big deal. When it comes down to it, I’m really glad that I’m a guy, and can do guy stuff and don’t have to do girl stuff.
That’s insane. Completely insane.
But beautiful.

Worship.
07 years ago
I’ve been thinking this evening about how much God loves our worship. I know God loves all of our worship, but I was thinking in a purely musical context.
Most of my Christian friends who play instruments, since learning their instruments, have developed such a deeper love of worship, and different forms of worship. How many acoustic guitar players do I know that have worship times in their room with just them and God… this was an alien concept to me a few years ago.
But it’s interesting. I first began thinking deeply about it a few days ago when I was playing some records in my room. This spirit of worship came upon me so strongly, it was amazing. I don’t recall which record I was playing… perhaps Sun Shining, by Testament (a little more housy than my regular favs, but cool nonetheless). Like I said, I felt the presence of God so strongly in a worshipful sense. I grabbed my Bible and started reading scripture out loud as I played other records as well. It was really cool.
And since then, like every other time I toss on a record I feel this connection with God, that’s never been so easy to establish before. I’m thrilled actually. Happened again tonight as I was listening to a track I bought the other day off eBay. (It hasn’t arrived yet, I was listening to an MP3 Demo). God is a DJ, by Faithless. Amazing track to those who know it, unknown track to those who don’t. But yeah, I’m stoked to see where things are going to go with the whole house/trance music/DJ scene in Canada and North America, but in Toronto especially. There’s a really big rave scene here, and I really feel that it’s something God is going to be bringing light into in the next few years, more so than ever before.
