Annunaki Don't Watch this Film!!! (great short documentary movie!!!)

SLAPSHOT "Insomnia" Get into it! ~

From the most hated SLAPSHOT album, "Unconsciousness" produced by the almighty Steve Albini.  Albini was, of course, the genius behind BIG BLACK, RAPEMAN, and SHELLAC.  He also played in PEGBOY for a bit. PEGBOY is ex-NAKED RAYGUN, of course.  Well this SLAPSHOT album does have a few gems on it, but "Insomnia" is not one of them.  It is an Ok song though.   Mos def weird for this "straightedge hardcore" powerhouse to write these kind of songs. Enjoy! m//r


 

A Plethora of New Buddhist Books--

Hot damn on fire!  Yesterday saw the arrival of seven awesome Buddhist books from the monks of the Thai Forest tradition monastery in Redwood, California!!  
I also picked up a few great titles from a used bookstore.  These are mostly of the contemplative & mystical Christian tradition.  My spiritual collection is coming along nicely.  I'm am surely blessed to have a veritable library of knowledge at my fingertips!!  That to a lifetimes' worth of reading material.  I shall not be bored again.  This is love m//r

Book List Book List Book List Book List Book List--

Holy smokes! Dug out three more boxes of books from storage!  Including doubles & triples of a few.  Those will go to my friends Catholic Men's House, "Friends of the Master" in Ypsilanti.  I've already donated around one hundred books to them, with about another hundred waiting to be transported.
I've decided I need to really make a serious inventory of what's here. And it's just as easy to put it on my blog as it is to put it in one of my hand-written journals. Wish me luck! m//r

note: I am NOT including novels & fiction (for the most part)

"Journey into Orthodox Alaska" A BEAUTIFUL short film--

"Ancient Voyages to America: Who Were The First Explorers?"

Some More Reading Material Worth Mentioning--

This week the mailman brought me the new issue of "Sophia: Journal of the Melkite Catholic Church."  I plan on writing more about this real soon, because this issue is full of excellent articles (many of them reprinted from other more obscure & hard to find sources.)  Some great features about the work our new Pope & others in the Roman Catholic & Eastern Catholic Churches are doing to attempt to heal the schism between us & our Orthodox Christian brothers & sisters.

I also received the new issue (a double issue at that!) of "Orthodox Word" published by the St. Herman of Alaska monastery in CA., as well as two other Eastern Orthodox journals from two other monasteries here in America.
