I Drink Coffee ... And Feel So Adult
Does our site seem slower to you the last couple of days? I don't know if our server is experiencing difficulties or not, but it seems to load a lot slower for me lately.
The more I read about this Passion movie by Mel Gibson, the more I think it will have an impact. I'm preparing myself to be a slobbering pool of tears at the bottom of my theater seat when I go watch it. If I can't hold back the sobs when William Wallace's dead wife/ghost is whisping through the crowd at his execution, there's no way I'm going to be able to hold it in during the passion of Christ scenes (something that engages my imagination, my emotions, and my Spirit and Soul).
Wow. Maybe, just maybe, this movie will help spark a major revival like we haven't seen since the "Jesus Movement" in the early 70s. Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine once told me that he thought films were the best medium for marrying music and the visual. That being said, this film could have a very heavy impact on our culture. We'll see.
Now, I need to clear up some rumors:
Ted Kirkpatrick of Tourniquet was NOT breeding wild mountain lions and setting them free in the chaparrel brush in and around Santa Monica before he moved to Wisconsin. And he was NOT forced to move to WI to escape the Forestry Department's investigations.
Kemper Crabb is NOT a left-wing revolutionary. His quote of, "If it wasn't for the Crusades, we'd all be Muslims," was NOT meant to incite hatred; just pointing out the origins of an ugly time having a root in a defensive response.
ZAO has NOT reformed to join forces with Zoe Girl.
Kyle Turley of the St Louis Rams is NOT joining FM Static on tour this Spring as an additional guitarist.
Wesley M. Denton, former Advertising Sales Director at HM Magazine, is NOT "marrying up" into the Kennedy family for a better chance at election; although he IS getting married and he IS involved in politics.
Brian V. McGovern, former Assistant Editor at HM Magazine, is NOT training a crack team of paramilitary orangutangs to storm the Vatican and set in place a giant crystal to eminate vibrations through the fibre-optic lines that Time Warner is putting into place.
David Allen does NOT ink tattoo on left-handed guitarists, so stop asking.
