Evening

Here dies another day
During which I have had eyes, ears, hands
And the great world round me;
And with tomorrow begins another.
Why am I allowed two?

- G. K. Chesterton

My oh my. I thought this day would never come. Arcade Fire are releasing a new album August 3rd in North America (August 2 in Europe). More details at Arcade Fire’s website.

The Beatles, ladies and gentlemen…

Yeah, Netflix has customer service

Josh — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:21:04 +0000

So I have a Netflix account and I was having issues today. I called them and was told by the automated system that my call would be answered in 1 minute. That was extremely accurate. I talked to a guy named Jeffery, who was courteous and extremely helpful.

Peeps, this is not at all what I expected from Netflix. I’m happily stunned. And I’m pretty sure I’m swearing off Blockbuster for good.

10 Minutes a Day

Josh — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:01:10 +0000

What’s your secret passion? Writing a novel? Becoming an actress? A singer? Want to start your own business? What about beginning an exercise program? Why aren’t you where you want to be in life?

Maybe you are, but more than likely you’re like the millions of us who can’t seem to find the time or motivation to accomplish our goals. Too often we sacrifice our dreams and desires on the altar of fleeting pleasures. We’d rather watch TV than do the hard work of practicing piano or reading a book on business. We also make excuses.

“I’ll start my book this winter when things are less busy.”

“I don’t have time to do voice lessons.”

“Eating healthy costs too much money.”

What if instead of saying “I’m going to start my novel tomorrow” we said “I will spend 10 minutes writing every day”. Just 10 minutes of working on something small and easily accomplishable that will move us in the direction of our goal. 10 minutes free of distractions. 10 minutes to ourselves. 10 minutes to love our lives more.

10 minutes a day is 7 workdays a year. When is the last time you took off 7 days of work to pursue a dream? 10 minutes a day builds momentum. Momentum builds strength and success over the long haul.

Try it. Just 10 minutes a day. It might turn your life around.

A cover of Que Sera Sera

Today I found myself unconsciously singing Que Sera Sera (the Doris Day version from The Man Who Knew Too Much, in case you wondered). When I got home tonight, I couldn’t stop singing the song and just decided to record the thing. Here it is for your listening pleasure.

Que Sera Sera

Check out this M83 Video

Josh — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:29:19 +0000

M83 is one of those bands that lives on the border of greatness. At times they cross over into that country; at others, they just stand on top of the fence and take in the view. Either way, they’re worth experiencing.

I particularly enjoyed this video of one of their better songs. You should check it out, especially if you’ve never heard them. M83 reminds me of 80s movies, and that’s a good thing.

Borne on crepuscular mists, and sounding a tiny swoosh as they stir, a dark furry flyer fights for his evening meal.

Doubt

I watched a movie called Doubt tonight. It would be hard for me to recommend a film more strongly. Go out right now and rent it. Yes, now. You can thank me later.
