Update on Kevin (Photo)

The last we heard from Kevin, he had asked for prayers regarding his mom, who'd had a minor stroke.

For anyone who's been wondering, his mom was in a hospital for a little while and then she got very depressed and was transferred to a geriatric hospital that specializes in depression. She's doing okay, although Kevin's not able to see her.

He's having a difficult time adjusting to the absence of his mom and it's compounding his physical condition, which means his hands are too… Continue

Ark Signature Project - Update

For all of you who are wondering how it's going.

So far we have 14 people standing on deck and I am waiting for a couple more. After I have them, we're ready to set sail. This takes a little longer because it is an open invitation project and people have to work it into their very different schedules.

This also means that there is still time to sign up if you feel so inspired. Once the ship sails however, it's gone ;-)

In the mean time let…

The Path

The path that I am on today is the hardest road that I have journeyed

upon throughout my entire life. It is the path of learning. It is the

path of discovering the truth about the world around me and the essence

of my own being. It is a path that is made clearer by the people around

me by showing me new ideas and bringing forth different ways to look at

the things around me. It is a path that would be unbearable without the

honest debate of friends.

I… Continue

THE PRICE OF DOING BUSINESS WITH PRICELINE.COM

I'm not usually one to make a big deal about things. I make mistakes and I deal with the consequenses but sometimes, things just make so little sense that it is impossible to allow it to go unsaid.

I have been doing business with priceline.com for a while, probably since they launched. I have made hotel, care and plane reservations through them. Sometimes, I have had to change or cancel my reservation and at times, I have even had to pay a small fee to do so, but this…

Music Players

THE BAD NEWS:

I moved the front player off to its own page (under ArkStuff) and that pretty much detached everyone's individual players from their Private Quarters.

Vewwy sowwy bout dat.

THE GOOD NEWS:

Music across Arkie quarters has been restored.

I Think I Have Commitment Issues

I have been working as a temp for the last six months and everything was fine, but two weeks ago I was made a permanent employee and now all I can think about is how badly I want to quit. I just want to stay home and make papier-mache monsters or something crazy like that. Is there a market for papier-mache monsters?

Prayer Request

My Mom had a stroke last week. She has weakness on her right side and difficulty speaking,
She is in a nursing home now for rehab. I have never felt so scared and alone. I am bedridden
and cannot even visit her.

Please say a prayer or positive thought for my Mom Olga's recovery.

Thank you,
Kevin

Music Month

If anyone would be interested in helping me write a song for music month then reply to this blog.

I thought if people had ideas for songs or lyrics they would like to suggest, I would attempt to put them to music. Just an acoustic guitar affair, nothing too flashy but if you would like to help me I would appreciate it.

If you're a musician and want to play on the finished video, add a riff, take a solo whatever then feel free to let me…

House of the Rising Sun

I'm uploading a video to YouTube right now because I was unwilling to give up any sound quality and only willing to give up a bit of video quality on my soon to be posted here project. This means that the file size is ,..like,..twenty gazillion terabytes. Syd's already on my ass about my luggage and furniture cluttering up the place so I'm just renting a storage unit. Jeeze,...is it THAT hard to brush your teeth aROUND the stuffed/sorta' mummified 18th century grenadier?,...pshhh.… Continue

The Ark Signature Video

My fellow Arkiens!

I am happy to announce that the minimum number of required people for the project has been reached and that I have begun doing the work that surrounds your clips.

The test animation has been refined to fit the needs of the project. For one thing I needed a bigger boat ;-)

Our digital Ark is now ready to receive her inhabitants. There is no passenger limit upwards so if you are just stopping by and want to join in, let me… Continue
