What's "Happening"?

Tonight we went out to see "The Happening", M. Night Shamaamamalans new "thriller."
In the famous words of "Comic Book Guy" from the Simpsons...
"WORST MOVIE EVER!"


The acting was atrocious, thank you Mark Whalberg, and the story line was barely coherent. Not only was it just simply horrid in every thematic sense of the word, it was honestly just about as boring as PBS documentary on the sleeping patterns of the South American three toed sloth!

And... I find that it is no coincidence that Mark Whalbergs face in this picture looks exactly like mine did when the credits finally rolled.

Billboard Review of the new Chasen album!!!

(Album Review)
"Hands down the best indie album of 2008 and one of the best Christian albums in recent memory, Chasen's debut was one of the few that deserved every bit of the pre-release hype. Much of the buzz came from the early single "Crazy Beautiful," which reached number two on Christian radio charts long before Shine Through the Stars arrived as a complete project. Chasen's jangly melodic rock dwells in that coveted space between preachy and secular, between subtle and overt, between poignant and under the radar. The subject matter is universal, and the conclusions are not unique. But the way Chasen Callahan arrives at those conclusions makes you nod in silent agreement as you realize he is singing your soul. The crystal-voiced songwriter sings of resisting temptations, of seeing one's worth in the sight of God, of following the path of faith in a troubled world. And yet, with the exception of a couple of praise & worship anthems on the disc's back end, nothing is overtly religious. Producer Noel Golden seems to have lived up to his namesake, for he added a truly Midas-like polish to the record that inevitably brings to mind his work for Matchbox Twenty, Lee Ann Womack, and Edwin McCain. Honest, open, but not precocious, Chasen offer a feast for those who have been craving more substance in their diet of Christian rock. Highlights include the cathartic emotion of "Drown," the driving melody of "All Creation," and the atmospheric "You and I." Shine Through the Stars is at the top of a short list of CDs that continue to get better with each listen." ~ Jared Johnson, All Music Guide

Cloverfield?

">

So tonight me and the boys went out in Nashvegas to see Cloverfield. Chase and I talked everyone into it because we were both totally amped to see it... It had so much going for it, great director, great buzz, great storyline.... which all culminated to it being an absolutely horrible movie! What a let down!!! Granted there were still some high points... like when stuff happened to the people in the movie due to other stuff going on which in turn made other stuff happen... then it ended. I mean really?!?! I just expected so much more from my man JJ Abrams.

It was pretty much like this.
The other day Amber and I were hanging out at the house trying to get our budget worked out when all the sudden we heard a knock on the door. It was 6:30 on May 23rd and we really weren't expecting anyone to come by so I got up slowly from our dining room table and made my way over to the door. I opened the door only to find



We had a great day at the park, sunny, breezy, mild, picnic spread, everything was perfect. April 27th was on of the best days ever.

Gatlinburg TN... Pancake Capital of the World!

I've eaten a total of 9 pancakes in 2 days!

We owe The Orphanage $35

We are on the road again, back in black in the "great" state of Alabama.
Just a quick stop before we head up to the Avalanche Conference next week in Gatlinburg TN "The Myrtle Beach of the Mountains".
We have found in our many excursions thus far in Alabama that there really isn't that much to do... however they do have about 10 movie theatres within a 5 mile radius of Birmingham! So we decided to go see a movie... we just couldn't decide which one. We bought tickets for $7 a head to see National Treasure 2 because it was the only one that we could really agree on.... but when we got inside we passed by the theatre for a movie called The Orphanage, a freaky foreign flick that none of us really knew anything about. For some unknown reason we all just had a hunch to go check it out, so we ditched on National Treasure and hit up The Orphanage. (That pretty much explains why we owe The Orphanage $35)


So let me just go on record as saying, The Orphanage is a killer movie! It is honestly one of the best suspense/thrillers that I have ever seen. We all were totally stunned at how great it was across the board. So if you get the chance and screaming like a little girl sounds appealing to you on a night out, check out The Orphanage.
Plus if you all go see it, maybe it will make up for some of the money that I owe them for sneaking in.

Mucho Amo,
Clint

Naïve Orleans: The Ignored Poverty

So fair warning this is probably border lining on a completely emo blog, but I have to share my heart about our experience in New Orleans this past week.
We have toured all across the US from Austin to Atlanta, from St. Louis to Nashville... it doesn't matter where we go we seem to encounter something in each city that we didn't expect. Such was the case in New Orleans, LA... but to an extent that couldn't have been anticipated by any of us. Here you have a city that has, in the past two years, suffered from a blight not experienced before on American soil. Pain, agony, homelessness, poverty, starvation... each are daily occurrences for nearly 20% of New Orleans CURRENT population. All of these plagues in plain sight, yet it somehow goes unseen by so many.

It strikes me as a jaded form of irony when you take into consideration that less than a mile away from a "tent city" set up for the homeless there sits a multi-million dollar football franchise, a billion dollar trump tower under NEW construction (post hurricane Katrina), and thousands of suit-clad businessmen that seem to ignore the extreme suffering around them.
New Orleans is a city surrounded by so much controversy, invaded by so much turmoil... a city full of poverty and overflowing with disappointment. The air was thick with oppression... the streets that we walked on heavy with the pain of broken dreams... and that is exactly what attached itself to me as we walked... brokenness. I began to feel the broken lives of an oppressed people. The very lives that go un-noticed on a daily basis. It is then that I realized where we as a people have begun our folly... we are "willingly ignorant." We are spoon fed what is easy to digest. And most of us are none the wiser, partaking of our daily rationed diet of commercialism and self aggrandisement.
So lets make a pact to change our role in this production we call society. Lets become aware, lets turn your eyes in a new direction and see what we have ignored. Lets choose to become conscious of our surroundings, so that little by little we can extend our area of influence, make an impact, leave a legacy, and... change the ignored.
Mucho amo,
Clint
