| Happy summer!
After a 3 month absence, I've decided to update my xanga. Two reasons: I'm stalling so I don't have to work on my research right now and I realize this might be the best/only way to keep in touch with some of my people from Cedarville.
I'm chilling back in Omaha for the week, then it's back out to Indiana to be a boat salesman for the summer. Yes, I will be on the lake selling pontoons, runabouts, kayaks, the works. Could I have asked for a better summer job? And I'll be getting in some internship hours before grad school starts, so i'll be a step ahead of the game.
I'll be driving back to Indiana on either Tuesday or Wednesday, so give me a call to keep me company on the long drive out! Also, drop me a shout out and let me know what you are doing with yourself this summer (or next year if you graduated and are heading out into the real world). | | |
| Due to the gentle encouragement of my sister ("Freak. Update your Xanga."), I have decided to add another posting.
This one contains no philosophical thoughts or intellectual insights...instead, we're going with a few websites (courtesy of Jason Ney). These are amazing, and they're for any of you who get into the whole photography thing like I do.
Enjoy...I did. The first one is primarily black and whites set in NY...I really liked his galleries. The second one is more surreal/ settings from Japan. Also well done. Very understated...which I like.
And after you get done appeasing your artisitic side, check out the last website. The french fries poster is the best. HA

one word: YES.
Isaiah 61:1- He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners... | | |
| 50ish years ago, Pepsi released a slogan that said "Come alive with the Pepsi generation." When the product was marketted in China, there was a little somethin that was lost in translation...A few marketers forgot to do their homework, and the Chinese people understood the translation of the statement to mean "Pepsi will make your ancestors come alive."
More recently, Coors Light coaxed buyers into their pocket by the witty "Turn it loose" catchphrase. Again, the dilenquent marketers slacked on their research, and when this phrase was translated for Hispanic markets, the general population found themselves reading a slang phrase meaning "I am exploding with diarrhea."
All this from not understanding the culture.
Funny how we as Christians expect the culture to understand our message when we haven't done any research on their culture. The more we withdrawl, the less they understand.
You have to know the language to make your message understood. | | |
