Courteous Mass follows police crackdown
I’ve gotta tell ya, filming a Courteous Mass wasn’t all that interesting because nobody got into any trouble, but I might still find time to make an extended remix for elsewhere.

Gone dissertatin’
If you hadn’t noticed by the crickets chirping around here, I’m on a bit of a writing sabbatical — and not the kind of writing you see here. Obviously checking in here to look for news is going to be disappointing, so you might as well just subscribe to the feed and save the […]

Courteous Mass Friday

A video for July 4: The Recruiter 2
About 39 minutes ago a version of my first veteran video aired on MTV2, as thirteen other Street Team videos will throughout the day. I was too busy watching America’s Next Top Model on the main MTV channel (the only one I get), but I’m sure it kicked ass.
Just in time for today’s holiday, […]

So much for the Jesus Year
Some people think Catholic guilt is unhealthy, but I think it can be a fine and dandy motivator. And while we can’t all get nailed to a tree to save humanity, one can certainly try.
Or, one could let another year slip away writing an average of five words a day on a dissertation that, […]
