Nanoblogging
No time to Twitter? Then Flutter. The next platform of the blogosphere is not microblogging but nanoblogging. Hahahaha… check it out:
And Many were the Nations with Whose Manners and Customs She was Acquainted…
Continued from Many Cities Did She Visit… Click here to view the entire Flickr photo album. I don’t really know how to share everything there is to share about my experience with Selvin. There is so much that I encountered with him, so much that I learned from him. He’s unspeakably complex and compelling. I [...]
Rythm and Wags
A vid of Mamadou that I never got around to posting. They were an African group that performed at the Multi Kulti Ball in Graz, Austria (Feb 2008). The percussion is fun and toward the end of the video, you see some young girls really wagging their booties!
Graveyard in Salzburg
A couple pics of a graveyard in Salzburg, Austra that I took in Mar 2008 and never found time to post. I was staying with an intriguing couchsurfer who was academic by day and death metal goth by night. He influenced my dark, graveyard pics. Click here to see more in my Flickr album.
Billy’s Story
Billy’s story really isn’t about Billy at all. Rather, it’s about the people he’s been working with nearly everyday for the past five years. Billy’s story is the story of the Chortí Maya, the direct descendants of the ancient Mayans. Billy describes them as Honduras’ “conquered people.” “They used to own all of this land [...]
Finding My Footing in Honduras
There are those special people that you meet that stop you in your tracks and absolutely stun you with their beauty, their compassion, their utter humanity. They fill your heart with inspiration and gladness. You cherish every moment you get to share with them, every moment their path aligns with yours. And, when it’s time [...]
Ag Steward of the Chortí Maya
Okay. This is a story I’ve published on AgWired. There’s MUCH more to the story, which I plan on publishing here, but it’s been quite a challenge with the intermittent internet. So, I’m just publishing what I have now and will publish more later… There is a group of indigenous people in Honduras that live [...]
At War or at the Mall?
My dad forwarded this to me by email. Normally, I don’t contribute to the whole “forwarded email” scheme, but this excerpt makes you think. I don’t agree with all of it, but I definitely think it raises questions and concepts that EVERYONE should be thinking about… when they’re not. Anything bolded is something I found [...]
Wise Words from an Ignorant Man
Well, not quite so ignorant actually. If you read this, you’ll figure out what I’m driving at. And read it you should. My friend Stephen wrote this. I’m blown away by his words. For me, they speak every word of truth. My friend Justin responded with some cunning of his own. What a blessing to [...]
And on to the Big Rigs
Continued from Redwoods, Big Rigs and Glowing Grapes… Okay, back to that surprise. Turns out, Bruno lives in someone else’s backyard… in a shed turned tiny, cabin-styled home thingamagig. He has a toilet outhouse jimararig near his “room.” The room has electricity. He gets access to the bathroom and shower inside the house whenever needed. [...]
More Sights and Sounds from Chi-Town
Last week’s trip certainly wasn’t my first visit to Chicago. I’ve blogged about past Chi-town based adventures including my first-ever couchsurfing experiences, The Passion event, and coverage of the 2007 Peak Antifreeze Indy 300 (actual coverage of the race can be found on DomesticFuel.com). This time, the U.S. Africa Agribusiness Forum brought me to Chicago [...]
Follow the Example
Watch this video. Geez. What an incredible example to follow:
The Language of the Spirits…
…is, if you ask me, the ‘Language of God.’ This past weekend I spent a lot of time speaking such a language with dear friends that have, in a matter of days, become dearer. And with new friends that have, in a matter of mere moments, become close ones. So, to start from the beginning…. [...]
Coincidences…
I had wanted to make this certain point in my discussions with Silviu: Too many coincidences have become entangled into the story of my life for me to actually consider them coincidences. Silviu is, as I mentioned before, is a self-professed atheist or agnostic (depending upon how you look at it). And, as I also [...]
Once Upon a Time…
…far far away, in the land of rolling hills and rocky cliffs, lived the Von Trapp family. Okay, okay. I know, my posts are enough of a novel as it is… But, Salzburg, the city that served as the storybook setting for the movie The Sound of Music is, well, something out of a storybook. [...]
Passion in Chicago
The Passion event is touring the U.S. and will soon be appearing at venues across the world. I can say first had the event is time well spent! It’s a weekend of delving into your relationship with God while listening to great music from the likes of Chris Tomlin and Watermark and Matt Redman and [...]
He Will Deliver…
As I’ve been praying to God for Him to lead me to where he wants to use me next… He’s provided an answer to my prayers! I’ve been feeling compelled to travel and explore foreign places and cultures for as long as I can remember. Already, I’ve been blessed to visit so many wonderful places [...]
Starting off with my best foot forward… the one that follows God.
The excuses and the procrastination are over! I’m FINALLY starting a blog… and I’ll start with the first thing I can’t seem to say enough these days: “I’m so ready for what’s next in my life!” Problem is… I have no idea what that might be. The question I keep asking myself daily is a [...]
