WHAT'S UP! We have been hiatus-ish for over a month now! Holy Cow! Our visitors number is still consistent through so thank you for constantly checkin' back! We are revamping the site, training new writers, and gettin' connected with new stuff so stay tuned. All that in the NEW Year. 2010! But of course, I still gotta hit y'all with our annual Christmas mix. It is a bit late this year but I figure by now you are getting somewhat tired of the same old same old (don't get me wrong, classics are classics). I think we have the opportunity to beef up your holiday playlists to compliment the good old songs. We didn't add too much older stuff, but a whole lotta remixes. Check these songs out, your Party will suck without them! Make the coolest Christmas mix tape CD for someone after you download! DO IT!!!!!!! Happy Holidays, and whatever you celebrate, do it with good music!

We love Christmas music and Elvis' new Christmas Duets album is no exception. The new Duets album which dropped mid October, features some of todays more popular artists singing and reinterpreting some of the Christmas classics Elvis sang. It's quite interesting and amazing at the same time. This is a must-grab for any Elvis lover. We got one of the tracks for you calld Blue Christmas which features Martina McBride. Be sure to pick up the album here and be sure to listen to my faovrite track on the Album: I'll Be Home For Christmas with Carrie Underwood!

Happy Valentine's Day, whether you hate it or love it, get you some red/pink wrapped chocolates and candies! That comic above comes from a comic sketcher person named John Campbell. Sometimes it's random, actually as far as I can read...it's totally random. Some reason I dig it! I particularly liked that one. Also be sure to download our special Valentine's mix. Also I saw this on someone's away message: Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF. All my base are belong to you...If you're a nerd like me, that's stinkin' hilarious. Have lots of fun!

Well I pretty much hate time! It goes too fast!!! It makes me sad and excited. Emotions are so funny. I just got back from Urbana '06 which was even bigger this year with 22,000+ people!!! A huger bookstore, tons more mission orga's, 40+ hotels, and the Edward Jones dome where the St. Louis Rams play. My life, my mind, my brain change around 5 times. Fortunately for you, they webcast the whole thing. Steaming goodness at the Urbana.org website. Definitely worth checking out when you have some serious time to grow. If you want to know what I learned, ask. The picture above is the Edward Jones stadium smashed up with people who want change. That was actually just last night. I got to serve communion to 22,000+ students with around 700 other servers. Like Urbana '03, it was purely incredible. This year's Urbana was in St. Louis instead of at the University of Illinois Champagne/Urbana. Logistically different, But God was there and that's pretty much all that matters. St. Louis is very different from Los Angeles. Nobody lives in downtown, it is rather strange. The pictures above are first a shot of downtown from the famous Arch. The gate of the west was definitely an awesomely huge sight. It was fun to hang out there. The other picture is the old Eads bridge that goes over the Mississippi to Illinois. History wohoo! Last but not least I have to show you guys some pictures of our Christmas Party. Paul's parents are in Germany, and I didn't go home cause the low flow so we had a small thing at our place. We bought some delicious angus beef (10%>fat!), made some burgers, margaritas,white russians, roast chicken (yay Panache)! I had a Portland Honey. Okay that's all for now, Gonna go watch the Rose bowl game. Then at 5:30 NOBODY MISS IT; BCS 36TH Annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl! Boise State vs. Oklahoma! GO BIG BLUE!!
